CLOUGH, THE MURDERER.

In addition to the information which
we, yesterday, communicated, respecting
the escape and re-capture OF Joel Clough,
we extract the following particulars from
the American Sentinel of this morning.
That paper says they have been received
from gentleman who has conversed
with the unfortunate man since his re-
commitment.
He was taken on Sunday night, by two
|citizens of Mount Holly, who had been
requested by Mr.. Striker, Of that village
Ito place themselves near the spot where
lClough's tracks had been discovered.
These two persons, whose names are not
rccolicctcd, were lying concealed under
some bushes, near which they suspec-
ted that Clough would most probably pass
on his way towards the river, about three
miles from Mount. Holly. About II
O'Clock, they observed a person passing
near them, at rapid, but firm and stea
( dy pace. They accosted him, by asking,
who is there? No answer was made.
They repeated the question. There was
still no reply. They then advanced tow
ards him, when Clough stopped and
said. "Gentlemen, what do you want!''
One of them Immediately grasped him
firmly by the wrist, and asked him, sis
your name Pilc?" to which he replied in
the affirmative. "Where are you going?'
To Philadelphia, was the reply. They
} held him FAST land he asked what bushes:
l they had to stop man when going on his
!, way pcaceably. A candle having beer
+ drought by one of the men from small
house not far from them, Clough wa
recognised. When he found this to b'
the case he appealed to them, and beg
ged them for Gods sake to let him g
|"You know, gentlemen, (said he,) that

-(plied, that he must accompany them bac

). in the morning.

A few days since, as the laborers en-
ployed by the Providence Aqueduct, were
at work in excavating the earth in the
rear of Dyers Block, Broad street, they
fell uponYt the bones of human being,
apparently belonging to man OF the age
ofthirty or forty years. The finding OF
the bones elected variety of conjecture
and whilst one was of opinion, that they
belonged to some poor creature who tell
a victim to masonic vengeance, another
was decidedly impressed with the belief
that they were the bones OF one who had
been murdered for his money.
In the midst of all this speculation,
The venerable Captain Turpin Smith,
from the stores Of his memory shed a
flood of light on the subject. According
to Captain Smith, the bones unquestion.
ably belonged to an unfortunate negro
who preferred the repose OF the grave te
life of suffering and bondage. thus
was Capt. Smiths story.

Probably the annals of ingenious wicked
ness do not afford an incident more illustra-
tive ofthe depravity of the human heart tnan
the following mode of seduction, related in a
New York paper. Among many instances
Of similar nature, an old bag, under the
pretence of selling threads and tapes, went
into a house in New York, where, as usual,
she assumed the ability to tell fortunes. She
said to young woman there, after viewing
her hand, "You are going to have beau.
You will go on certain day (Which was APP.
pointed) to Hoboken with gentleman and
lady. You will sit undar tree, and, while
there, fine gentleman, with black whiskers
and black eyes, will pass along and notice
you; and he will be your beau" The fool
ish girl chung to the delusion: and all Things
occurred as .foretoid. In the evening, he'
companions invited her to the house OF th'
! old seducer, and she wondering at what hat
occurred, went; since which time She has ne
yer returned to the place of her happy an.
virtuous employments. The inference is evl

MysrERIous.-One Of the most extra
ordinary and unaccountable circumstan-
ces which has occurred for some time
past, is the sudden disappearance from
the city of Capt. Boot, Of the Dutch ship
Asia. This is the large and splendid
vessel which has been laying for some
time past in the NORTH River; while on
her voyage home from Batavia, she. for
tunateiy, heard at sea of the hostile mea
sures adopted by England and France
! towards the Dutch flag and sought re-
| fugc in our harbor from the danger which
awaited her had she pursued her route
I to Holland. On news being received
here Of the convention between Holland
and the two great powers, preparations
were Immediately made 70: sending hel
home. On Thursday all was ready FOL
her to proceed to sea. At three O'Clock
in the afternoon Of that day Capt, Boo
left the counting house OF his consignees
Messrs. Gebhard * Co. with his ship:
papers and every other final arrange
ment completed. He proceeded to hi'
boat which was lying at the wharf, sen
some things by her on board, ordered
, one of his officers, who was in her, tt
, fire a gun for the pilot as soon as h
: reached the vessel, said that he himsel
would Immediately return to the ship
, and that they would then get under way
t Since that moment, Capt. Boot has no
: been heard of, nor have the most indus
; trious researches led to any discover
/, relating TO him.

WOMAN'S LOVE.

In all the diversity OF human feelings and
i,useiuns, there is none so pure, SO deep, and 8,
devoted, as wonan's love. Like the ancient
oak, Of the forest, amidst the fury of the tenn.
pest ard the waste Of time, it stands unmoyed
and uninjured, though mislortunes. poverty and
disease burst with the relentless fury of the
northern blast; and threaten to sink into obiv-
ions tomb, or worse consign to hopelessness
and misery the object of its love, like the twl
ming endril around the tree it still closer clngs
and deiies misery's most poignant darts; and in
its own native vigor, unsustained by mortal
sympathy, looks around on the object of its
love now in ruins calmly surveys the horrors
Of the past, the gloom Of the future and bright
ening by its own creative energy throws around
heavenly radiance, that awakens the highest
and hottest feelings Of admiration in man, and
enkindles in the breasts of angels the glow OF
sympathetic feelings. But it is not in its NOR.
tai allotment that woman's love so distinguish
ingly exhibits lis purity and its permanencv
1t is in that high and holy regard for the rcli
gion of our saviour. When woman's heart be
comes the residedce Of The spirit Of GoD-whe,
the vain and trihing things Of time can no Ion
ger delight her-when devotion is enkndlel il
her soul: it is then, that it attains its mobiles
and most exalted character. When by faitl
it is freed from the bonds of this earthly Ia
bernacie, ascending on the wings Of life, light
iy soaring to the throne Of Cop bowling meek
