Benjamin F. Harden who murdered
Ilierno, of Kentucky, at this place, on the

Some years since I was employed as a
warehouse clerk in a large shipping house
in New Orleans, and, while in that capaci

One day a vessel came in, consigned to
the house, having on hoard a large lot of
cheese trout New York. During, the voy
age some of them had become damaged
by bilge water (the ship had become leaky);
consequently the owners refused to receive
thstm. They were, therclitre, sent to the
collsigner 4 rtr the ship, to be stowed until
the ease could be teljustett I discovered, a
for days arterwarrs, that as to perfume
th , y were decidedly too flagrant to remain
in the warehouse in the middle or dune, and
reported the saute to my employers, farm
whom I received orders to have them
si, and send all that were passable to
('card and Calhoun's auction mad (then in
this. old Camp Street Theatre), to be dispos
ed of liar the benefit of the underwriters,
and the rest to the swamp. I got a gang of

the true, active principle of kindness. Bow
many an erring mortal, making his first
step in crime, might be redeemed by the
exercise of this sublime trait in the charac

among the Quakers, was a tanner by trade.

eteuls one woman's verrses will steal plinth

resentations or misrepresentations alone re.
sponsible for tho smug and injustice heaped
upon the head of a gifted and innocent
woman by the press of the country. This
wrung will of course be tighted as far as
possible by those searnais instrumental in
inflicting it, but such an atonement will
hardly revay her for the keen mortificution
she must have guttered in thus being para
ded before the public as a plagiarist and
liar. By his own confession, Mr. Ball has
shown himself to be a literary offender of
no common sort, and we wash our hands of
him and his 'claims' henceforth."
It is somewhat amusing that Belles claim
was persistently urged by the literary critics
of such journals as the Romin
Table, Tribune and nines of New York,
who ofeourse must now be quite abashed at
the ridiculous game of "base Ball" they
have been playing. It will be refteshing to
see with what justice they can make amends
to the lady whom they so grossly wronged.

tar Davitl B. Porter, ex-Governor of
the State of Pennsylvania, died at his rcsi
dean in Harrisburg yesterday afternoon.—
The deceased was a man of uncommon so
tivity of mind, and had been identified with
public affairs in the Commonwealth for the
major part of a long and eventful life. He
was elected and re-elected to both houses of
the State Legislature, where he served on
the most important committees, was associ
ated with the leading men of the State in
amending the Conmitution ; was the first
Governor chosen under the amended instru
ment, and held the office two terms. In
business affairs Mr. Porter wasdistinguiahed
for breadth and soundness of judgment,
and did much to develop and place upon
sound footing the iron interests of the State.
By the death of ea-Governor Porter the
Commonwealth loses a devoted citizen, and
his friends and family a companion and pro
teeter, who was endeared to them by mini
estimable and winning traits of charseter.—
