Erom he Richmond ULic.

We are panied to hear of the death Of Mr..
BENJAMIN HARRIsoN, of Berkeley. He died ON
Sunday morning, after short illness of SO hours
; respected and beloved by all his acquantances.
We saw him in this city few weeks since, buoy
ant with health, and we little thought to have to
chronicle his death at this early day.
The Enquirer says:
'Mr IL. vas man Of fine education, Of ac-
tive mind, and OF various accomplishments Ma
ny years have elapsed since he ceased to be
candidate for public life. The latter portion of
1t has been devoted to his large family and to his
private affairs. He was the beloved nephew of
General VIM. III. HARRISON, the late President of
the United Sia;es-and lac owned and lived at
Berkely, in Charles City county, where Gen.
Harrison was born. "What shadows we are,
and what shadows we pursue" has been said a
hundred tlmes--but it was scarcely more
strongly illustrated, than in the example Of these
Two gentlemen About this time last year, Gen.
Harrison was preparing to visit Virginia, and the
seat OF his ancestors-crownedw with honors, ar
dent with hopes, and about to fill the highest
post in the world. No one was more gratifed to
at the idea of welcoming his Uncle at Berkeley,
as Mr.. Bcnjam Harrison; and now, both the
Uncle and the Nephew swept off to the silent
tomb! 1t is impossible to vicissitude of
this sort pass before our eyes, without the deep
est regret, and species OF establishment, which
no words are adequate TO express.
Mr.. benjamin Harrison must have been fifty
odd years of age"

The Louisville Journal furnishes the following
sketch of a rather daring movement of young
lady.
a LOUISVILLE BELLE.-A few nights ago one
OF the most accomplished bellies OF this city, while
sleeping in the same apartment with Mrs Charles
w. Thurston, who is in feeble health, was sud-
denly reused by slight noise. Looking around
her, she saw rutiian, evidently robber, at a
window, in the act of raising it.. Leaping up she
babe him depart. He hesitatcG moment; but,
seeing that the two ladies alone in the room,
he proceeded with terrific frown in eiecting his
entrance. Thereupon the young lady instantly
seized large pistol that CHANGED to be IN the a.
partment; cooked it, presented it ut him, and
declared her determination to blow his brains out
if he did not instantly fly. He knew from her
countenance that she would be as good as her
word, and snatcling some small articles of dress
from chair within arms length of the window,
he fled with precipitation. We are told that the
young heroine would have fired if she had known
that the pistol was certainly loaded; but she feared
that it was empty, and that's snap would be,ray
her deiencelessnesS.

A NOVEL CASE OF D,rrmuLry has recently

A NOVEL CASE OF DIFflcuLTY has recently
transpired in Washington county, Missouri
Some years age man and woman were married,
= and continued to reside together man and wife.
Recently they discovered that the person before
whom the ceremony was performed was not au-
thorized by law to tie the marriage knot, and
that their marriage was nulity. When this
discovery was made, the woman insisted upon
having the ceremony gone over again before a le-
gally constituted officer but the husband refus-
ed. Subsequently, the husband, having reflected
that the principal part of the property which he
held had been derived from his wife, changed
his resolution, and became DESTROYS to have the
knot legally tied; but at this period the woman
had altered her purposes, and therefore refused.
Following mp her resolution to remain free, she
evictod the husband from his possession of the
property, and our informant says that the last he
heard Of the was the application of the hus-
band to Justice of the peace for some process to
restore him to wha, he had once supposed to be
his owns. Louis Rep.
