From ule Boston T.nrlLel.

FIcrIoN OUrDoNE.-The following little nara
tive Of facts verify the saying, "Truth is stronger
than fction." About SIX years ago, an Irish girl
left her friends in the old country to try her for
tune in the ''States.' She came to Boston. and
has been for some time past employ ed as a "hep'
in the family Of Mr.. N, at the North End.
She has repeatedly sent letters, and in several m.
stances money, to her parents in Ireland; but dur.
ing all this time she has received no answer to
her letters, or heard from her folks, until quite re-
Gently she received an answer to the last letter
SENT that being the only one which ever reached
its destination. BY this epis,e she informed
that her sister had followed her to this country,
and had been in New York nearly four years. On
learning this fact, she determined at once to in
form her sister Of her whereabouts, and TO extend
an invitation to her to come TO Boston. Being UNI
able to write, she engaged the services OF female
acquaintance to write the letter for her, and gave
her ten dollars TO enclose in the letter. for her sis
ter to defray her expenses.
The acquaintance wrote the letter but instead

A TRAGfcAL ArFAIR.-Our readers will recol-
lect that last May, returned Californian, by the
name of Johnson, of Bangor on his way thither
in the steamboat, left about $4,000 ofgold upon
the wharf of Belfast, which was found and re-
turned to him. Mr.. Johnson was considered to
be a very lucky man, not only in recovering his
gold, but in being able to bring home so large n
"pile," considering the shortness of his absence.
Last Friday this fortunate Mr.. Johnson was
arrested by an officer from New York on re-
QUESTION from the Governor Of California for the
robbery and murder of man in G alifornia, some
time last winter or spring. The most horrible
part of the affair is, that t. o innocent persons
were accused as the murderers, conricled and
hung, while Johnson was in the State Some
recent developments, however, came out con-
Meeting him with the murder, which left no
doubt as to his guilt, and caused his arrest

PRorEgn,NGs or THE ASSOCIATE PREgnyrERY
AT me- ting Of the Associate Presbytery Of
Charters, Wnshinton county, Pa, on the Goth Of
October, the following report was adopted, and is
respectfully transmitted for publication.
The committee appointed to report resolutions
relativa TO the Fugitive slave bill, lately adopted
by Congress, would respectfully report the follow
ing:
Whereas. II is the duty Of the courts Of Christ's
house at all times to give firm and faithful testi-
mony against all errors and vices which may arise
in the world, not excepting those which are de-
creed by law aud Whereas the bill lately adopted
by the Congress Of the United States and which
Las received the sanction OF the Executive, and
thus become the supreme law Of the land, entitled
can act to amend aud supplementary 10 the act
respecting fuSves from justice, and persons es-
Gaping from the service Of their mnsters,' is, in
"nr e'unntl0n, utterly at variance with all the
principles Of religion and humanity, contradictory
To the pIameSt dictates of the scriptures Of truth
aud to all the higher sentiments and ympathies uf
the human heart, utterly subvcrSive Of the tunda-
mental principles upon which all just governments
are based, and calculated, if carried out not only
to suhvert and destroy the rrli.ion Of Jesus, bu,
also TO overturn the whole fabric Of our free re-
public, and To rr-cs,ablish the gloomy reign OF
despo;lsm therefore,
l. RCsoircd, Thar as a court or Christ's house
acting in the name of our Divine Master, and
mindful OF our responsibility Inn, we feel our.
selves called to give our decided and emphatic ties.
timony against th.s shameful outrage upon the
rights Of man, and open violation Of the law OF
God.
g. RySolrcd, That recognizing rs we do the SUI
preine authority Of the law Of God, and believing
that no human enactment in cOntravention Of this,
Is or can be binding upon our ConSclenCes, we feel
"urS"Ncs uHdcr no obligation TO cooperate in
ryIug UUt the prov Visions Of this act; but on the
contrary, bound, by all the claims OF humanity
: and religion, to suffer the utmost pena tiles by
which II is enforced, in preference to anv com nil

they,in consequence Of these things, be subjected
to The rigorous PenaIles with which the law is
sanctioned, we call upon them " to take joyfuy
the spelling Of their goods, knowing that they
have in heavensa better and an enduring sub
stance" and remembering that it is always bet
ter to suffer than to sin, and that "if any man en-
dure grief, suffering wrongfully, this is acceptable
with God"
4. ReSolred, That we most cordially unite with
our brethren and fellow citizens throughout the
land, in demanding of our National Legislature
an immediate repeal of this obnoxious law and
that we will unitedIy and earnestly entreat the
great Ruler of Nations to preside in and overrule
our national councils for this purpose. ..a

visit this city, she pockeedk the ten dollsrs and
wrote word that Ann (the sister residing here) was
some time since, very sick, and had been sent 10
the hospital, where, no one had ever been per-
mlted to see her, she had doubtless died! She
added, furthermore, that the last place Annhad
worked at was Mr.. N--'s, naming the street
and number, aud offering, If the sister desired 1t,
to get her things and send them 10 her parents.-
The New York girl was sadly grieved on receiv-
ing this letter she had sent letters TO Boston, and
other places, in hopes Ann would get one Of them,
but none had ever reached her But now, con-
slderlng her sister dead, she wrote directly to Mr.
N, requesting HIM to forward to her such
things as had belonged to her sister. This letter
was duly received and caused some surprise in
the family OF Mr.. N, but owing to a little
misunderstanding between him and the girl, as to
which should return an answer, 4 delay Of u few
DAYS was Occas0ned.
In the meantime, AIMS sister began to have
a strong desire to come to Boston, and see if she
could not learn sume of the particulars relative to
the sickness and death of Ann, or at least see her
grave. Accordingly, day or so after she had
sent her letter to Mr.. N, she left New York
and came here, and went directly TO the house,
and rang the door-bell. It so happened that her
sister did not go To the door. She inquired OF the
person who opened the door, docs Mr.. N
live here 20 The individual replied in the aftirma-
tive, and noticing the strong resemblance existing
between the two girls, asked her if she was AIMS
sister? Yes where is she - 'She IS up stairs;
please come I'D. 'Dut is she ultNe '--lS sHe uesu
tell me lis she dead =; cried the excited girl as
she came into the house; and while the attendant
went in search OF Ann, the sister was compelled to
Weld to the severe shock she had received on be-
ing so suddenly informed that Ann was alive, and
sunk fainting to the floor, where Mrs. N,
who had heard her groans, fonnd her, as she came
down to inquire the cause. The meeting Of the
sisters may be better imagined than described.
The one from New York returned last Tuesday.
A word of advice When persons who cannot
write, wish to send letters and money to their
friends across the Atlantic, they should see the
letter written, the money ncIosed and then deposit
them in the postofiice themselves.
