HARDEN.

A correspondent of the Journal of Com
merce, writing from BelVidere, Warren coun
ty, gives the following interesting particular;
in regard to Harden, the alleged wife poison
er, who is now awaiting trial in the Jail at
Belvidere:--
In preambulating this village, / found that
usual county institution, Jail, which in fact
forms part of the courthouse. When the
Sheriff conducted us to the prison department
we found but two prisoners. One of these
has guilt enough on his soul to make up O
dozen common criminals. His name is Har
den; he has been a Methodist minister, and is
to be tried for the murder of his wife by pois
onng.
The murder created great excitement few
months ago His friends have anaged to
get the trial deferred from time to time, in
hope the delay would be to his advantage.
The case resembles that of Stephens, of New
York, who is under sentence of death--pois
oning by husband. The circumstances are
convincing. Little doubt of his guilt is enter
tanned But heis eVi=ssaes5ea hardened Grim
inal, who has used religion as d cloak. Occa-
sioaally Harden manifests disgusting levity,
ill COMFORTING with his profession; for, even if
innocent, good man would be bowed down
with sorrow at such a condition. think one
Dr. Chiffon, of New York, is charged with
the duty of Analysing the stomach, but they
have never yet been able, to get him into court
as witness.
Harden denied that he had poisoned his
wife, young and confding woman, but said
she had poisoned herself! He absconded du-
ring the CoronerS inquest, escaped in Virgin
ia, changed hissilame, but was detected by the
photograph, and will be tried in December
He has lied sadly III the affair Harden looks
low. and vulgar-is illiterate, and of course
was never fit to preach--his animalism and
destructyencss are apparent.

Some rumors have been af1oat that deferred
some from contributing, who otherwise would

easier to propagate truth. than to correct an

Perhaps I did wrong 20 accept the Agency
