august last. The Warta0sS W"Su "~S Iee~s went on to state that Miss Drach, who was intimately acquainted with MT. tIerson' went from this city tW pay him visit; that she proceeded to his house, and was met at the door by Matthias, and on inquiring Of him for Mr. PiersOn. was told that he was sick. She ! insisted however on seeing him, and was told that she should see him as soon as he was washed, and had come out Ofthe bath. She was then ushered into the house. and remain ed there, without seeing MT. P'ers"n' until bed time, when she retired for the night, dur | ing which she slept but little, as her rest was ! disturbed hv human grOans. In the morning when she arose, she was informed by Matthl- l as that Mr. Piersun was dead, at which she expressed much surprise. and entertained sus- 1 picinns that all was not right. MT. Flers00 was however buried, but disnterred' ana a ] post mOrtem examination had Ot hts Oody Oy | four respectable physicians, who t0uno ln nus | stomach considerable quantity Of some pot
 sonous substance, which they pronounced to 1 be the proxima,e cause Uf his death. Mat
 thias was suspected to have administered this poison, and by virtue of the oath Of Miss l Drach, the warrant issued against him as an ] instrument in the death of MT. Piers0n. That ! this warrant had been endorsed by Justice l HopsOn, on the oath of Jonathan Miller, au- ! thOrizng the arrest of Matthias upon It. And
 the Court concluded by saying, that they deemed it their duty tO permit Matthias to toe taken to the county of Westchester, there to ] be tried first for the higher crime imputed |" him.
 The Court finally refused to decide the c:o. ton, submitted on a former day. and order ed Matthias to be remanded to prison, to be sent to Westches,er county for trial. He was then taken into custody by Mir. Sparks, and lodged in prison.
 During the argument of the case, Matthias stood up in front of the Court, near the bar, and preserved the utmost imperturbablty of countenance, apparently unm"vedby the con seriousness of the fate that might await him. Among the spectators was the mother of his children, the injurnd wife he had abandoned.

 Ju1ge Buers Farm.-Jesse Buel, Esq. who resides near Albany, has a farm which is the , admiration "f visitors. One, who recently had the pleasure of walking over it, writes as foi- lows to the editor ofthe New-York Farmer.
 Judge Buel Is emphatically, and in the( strictest sense of the phrase, book farmer.-} He was bred a printer, and believe followed that business, without having any practical acauaintance with farming, until about ten years ago, when he purchased the place where he now resides; hut which was piece of waste ground, considered ofvery little "alue, being of very indifferent soil, run over with shrub pines and interspersed with marshes.-) This piece of ground, which notwithstanding its location about two miles from the city, ] could never, at any time in it's natural state, have been worth more than from 20 tO 30 dol 1 lars per acre, would now be an object ofspec- ulatinn at 900 dollars. This same spnt, which l I have looked at with regret at it's dreary ap- ! pearance, as in former y-ars have ridden past it, is now, by the "bo0k.learnt skill'' of It's owner, changed Co scene which monarch nigh, envy, and philosopher o!the most re- fined taste might l"ng contemplate with pleas ing admiration. In all his plans of operation, and choice n selecting subjects for cultivation, his only instructors have been his own re6ec tions, aided by his we'll selected library. Here the common agricuIturast can see piece of ground, which ten years since would scarcely have been taken as a gift, advanced in value from its cost, in less than ten years. more than six hundred per cent; and in this dry and unprvductive season. when farmers are cutting and clearing the ground of the wither- ed and unrpe corn, he can see a crop of from eighty tO ninety bushels to the acre, and eve ry other production of a we'll cultivated farm yielding in proportion. And not only the az riculturalist-the admirer of the beauties Of) nature may here view and contemplate the productions OI every quarter or tne kIOOe the botanist. the horticulturist and the florist may here increase their catalogues of subjects from, the specimens before them, wi hile the ty- TO in each branch may improve his knowledge by the scientific and instructive remarks and explanations Of Mr. Wilson, the partner and
 overseer of the nursery and gardens.
 1 Valuable Manuscripts. Globe says 1 that General JaOksOn's valuable manuscripts | @ were destroyed in the late fire at the Her mtage. Now that the originals are destroy. ed, it is not probable the world will ever know the authors ofthe numerous papers to which the President has signed his name. With re- gard to many Of them, however, there is little doubt in the public mind. For instance, it is generally understood. that General JacksOn's official documents during the Seminole War, were written by Dr. Bronaugh-his name and official papers, while Governor of FlOri- da, by Judge H. M. Breckenridge-his cele- brated amalgsmatlon letters to President Monroe. by R. Goodloe Harper; his election eering letters and correspondence, while a candidate for the Presidency. by Major Lee-j his inaugural speech. by Rudolph Burner "fI New.York-his Proclamation, by Edward Livingston, who also wrote his despatches from New Oreans-his famous Veto Mes sage, the " Read tO the Cabinet" and sunday other documents. ny Amos Kendall & Co., the Protest. by Fancy and Butler-the Ex- planatioD, by Butler and Van Buren-and the nlpCa nf puuiv R..
