A TALE OF VICE-AND DEATH-We briefly al
llded in the Crescent, some days since to the muir
der of man named Hoffman, in Pennsylvania,
under peculiar circumstances The following par
ticulars-whch will excite both sadness and indig-
nation-are from the Cincinnati Commercial of the
10Th instant.
"We yesterday spoke of the rtimored death of
Mr.. Henry Hoffman, of our city, at Reading, from
the effects of load of balls discharged from
double barrel gun, in the hands Of man named
Campbell etc, and promised the particulars to-day.
At II O'Clock, yesterday, we heard that Mr.. Hoff.-
man was still alive, four balls having been extracted
by his physicians his death was, however, hourly
expected. His murderer, Campbell, alias Barney
Thomas, Thomas Camden, and Edward Dickson,
was examined by the sitting magistrate, Mr.. Clarke,
and allowed to go free ! 1t was alleged that Mr..
Hoffman left this city with the intention of taking
Campbes life, and that Campbell was therefore
justified in killing him, and acknowledged that he
prepared himself for that purpose. In order to show
the public the true state of this most sad and Ia
mentabe case, it will be necessary to state, with
due feelings for the injured relatives, that, some
months since, Campbell arrived in our city, from
New York, whence he ran away with woman,
and the clothes and money OF his sisters, and that
he arrived in this city with the woman, passing her
off as his wife. Our readers may recolect that we
exposed the fellow at the time, in the Commercial
Well, after being here time, Campbell and hls
woman went to board at the house of the mother oil
Mr.. Hoffman, deceased, where he became acquain.-
ed with married sister of the said Hoffman, Camp
bell there SO maltreated his woman that she left
him and proceeded to Buffalo He then succeeded
in his Infamous scheme with the lady, and left for
parts unknown. Some time after, they We're dis
covered in Indiana living together The sister was
brought back by her relatives, and the matter kept
quiet-C Campbell promising to leave the country
forever He left, and nothing more was heard Of
him for about three months, when the relatives of
the unfortunate lady, to their great surprise and
notification ascertained that Campbell, through
the assistance of scamp named Pike, who pre-
tended to be friend of the family, yet all the while
was assisting and harboring Campbell, had gained
new access to the victim of his most foul seduction
Enraged beyond endurance, they threatened Camp
bells life, we believe, and Campbell threatened
them. So matters stood till Sunday last, at which
time the tragedy took place. as before stated. The
scene is described to as the most heartrendng
ever beheld, when the friends Of the dying man
had assembled over his mangled body-theresin
tears and anguish stood the errng sister, the moher
and other relatives. 1t solemn, sad sight no
doubt. The scoundrel Campbell left in the cars0n

fARVENU ARIsToCRACY.-T The n. y. Sunday
lmes In some remarks about the up-start arstoc-
racy OF wealth, that hangs like a fungus on our
large cities, has the following paragraph:
we know OF one very prominent sample of the
breed III this CITY, His wealth, which is,enormous
he does not owe to his own exertions, nor has he
even the reflected merit of having received it from
palnstakdng progenltors Some forty or fifty years
ago, when he poor dependent, lucky mar
rage laid the foundation of his fortune. The prop
erty of which he then became possessed, under the
stewardship of time has increased in value until it
is said that no denomination less than millions can
represent it. But if he possesses the gift vouch-
safed to Midas, of turning all he touches into god
he is no less bountifully endowed than Midas in
other particular. He has the ear-marks as well as
the transmitting privileges OF the NEUROLOGICAL al
chemist. Our American Midas is travelled man.
He has dined dukes in London, and feted the no.
blesse of the ancien regime in Paris; and they in
return haye used him for their mirth-yea, for their
laughter. He has brought over pnchbeck imita-
ton of their manners and notions, which he occa-
sonally exhibits, neat as imported, to chosen few,
the cream of the upper ten thousand at his spien-
did mansion uptown One of the dogmas OF this
msSb0rn individual is, that no man engaged in any
pursuit from which he derives emolument, can be
eenRemdat For this reason he could not while
i'll Paris condescend to be intimate with NJ. Theirs,
for Theirs was lapyer and still worse, had been
an editor. Our American patrlcan, on the contra
ny, was rich drone, who lived without any and
from his intellect his hands, and had never soied
his pauper pedigree by any species of labor, phys-
cal or intellectual, since accident made him inde
pendent of a world in which, from lack of capacity
to make his bread, he might otherwise have starved.
''This is no fancy SKETCH but portrait from
life; and give it illustration of the absur
dty of arisocratic pretension in this country, and
in this era of equalization.
Some years ago, an honest Scotch youth, who
had been in this country about six months, showed
us letter which he had written to his mother at
Glasgow. We shall never forget the concluding
paragraph. Dear MOTHER said he we have no
lords in this country, but the Lord God Almighty
Longsmay We continue unnfested by such cattle
and may all who attempt to play the Iord amongst
us-whether they be foreign aristocrats or their
two-and-slxpenny copies-be looked down upon
with contempt by the sovereign people. :"
