A Fugitive Preacher.

The Hackettstown n. j.. Gazette furnish
es additional particulars concerning the poi
soning Of the wife Of Rev. }. 5. Harden, IN
Andersontown, Warren county. by her nus ,
band, as is supposed. The deceased died
suddenly ON the 9th inst, and past NOR
fem examination showed strychnine in her
stomach. Mr.. Harden testified under oath
that bis wife had told him on the night pre-
rious to her death that she had swallowed ar
senic three or four times, and that she was
impelled to do so because of difficulties exist ,I
;ng between her mother and himself. Wit
ness also stated that before he received this
Information from his wife. she bound him by
promise not to dyuge h to AMY
life! Other witnesses including Der mother,
however, eliminated the husband. ouINs
Tho Investigation Mr.. Harden left the place
disguised, and has not returned. The Gov
ernor has been informed Of the fact. and has
offered reward Of $500 for Hsrden's arrest

Remarkable Scene.

We have seen private letter from gen
tleman who was present when the yacht
Wanderer, condemned as SLAYER. was sold
at Savannah by order of the United States
Court. The writer says that when the auc-
tionecr commenced, Mr.. Lamar stepped up
and said: Gentlemen, this vessel belongs to
me in every sense of the word. She has been
taken from me by the high hand of the law.
The United States claim her. but l say she
is mine; and shall not expect any one to
bid against me: and | bid one dollar Tor her.
Mr.. Van Horn bid against him and the price
was run up to $4,000 at which the vessel was
knocked down to Mr.. Lamar. The successful
bidder then turned to Mr.. Van Horn. and, with
biqh words knocked him down. The fallen
man rose to defend himself, but the sympa-
thy of the company was 80 manitestly with
the assaiIant. and the indications of violence
and bloodshed so plain. that his friends took
him away. some of Mr.. Lamar S barkers call
inc out, Charley. kill him which the writer
of the letter does not doubt would have been
promptly done, had any resistance been
made. Savannah has always been regarded
as an ORDERLY city. and one in which. 1t any
where south of the Potomac, the laws against
the slave trade could be enforced with the
full support of public sentiment.-ffo''asnee

Washington National Monument Association

WASHINGTON, March 22.-The organiza-
ton of the National Washington Monument
Society, was to-day effected under the most
suspicious circumstances. President Buch-
anan presided. Philip X. Fendall, esq. open
ed the proceedings with handsome address.
The President responded i'll brief but elo-
ouent narrative of the origin of the move
ment. He stated that in Congress- some thir-
ty-five wears ago-thena young man-one OF
his first speeches in the House of RepreSen-
tatives was in advocacy of monument to
Washington.
At the conclusion of the Presidents ad-
dress, the corporators proceeded to ballot
with the following result:-Mayor of W ash
ington, first vice-president; Gen. Winfield
Scott second Thomas Carberry. third; D. Is.
Ii. Smith, treasurer, and John Carroll Brent,
secretary. Committee to address the public
Phillip K. Fendall, Gen. Walter Jones and
Walter Lenox.
An address was then made by Richard 5.
Coke, approving the plan and encouraging
advancement. Before the ADJOURNMENT Pre-
sident Buchanan delivered a few closing,
patriotic and impressive remarks. which were
received with applause. The committee and
the society are confident of complete success
in the construction of the monument IN few

Fashions for March.

AT present it appears quite decided that
there will be no great change either in mat
erial or make of dresses. Sleeves are still
worn very wide and open, although the number
oftight sleeves has increased during themonth.
1t is always in this way that new fashion is
introduced-at first hesitatingly, and then,
ifnot at once discountenanced, it gradually
comes into general favor. The tight sleeve
is the necessary consequence of the discOn-
tinuance by many of the basque: it is more
in harmony with the tight plain body and
rounded waist. 1t was all anom0ly tor this
body, which, after the full and deep basquines
that have been worn, looks almost snSularly
fiat, to be accompanied by exceedingly wide
sleeves Tight sleeves are made generally
with two seams, open at the wrist, and button
ed on the inside; q disappointed epaulette
with row of buttons, marking the middle
Sometimes the sleeve is made large enough to
pass the hand through, in which case small
cuff to match the epaulette is worn. An UNI
dcrsleeve of plated cambria, with small
rounded cuff, is the best style tor this sleeve
With the tight or Amadis sleeve, there
should be no berthe OF anything to enlarge
the bust. Flat trimmings arc employed to
ornament the body, such as the fourrageres
in gimp, or buttons placed in the brande-
bourgs OF across the shoulders to the waist,
back and front. The revers cape from the
waist to the shoulders may be worn. This
fashion dates back twenty years; it WAS then
considered pretty and becoming. The eye
requires to become accustomed to it; we must
however, confess that it needs a really good
figure to look elegant in II dress of this style
Satin and black velvet are worn for walking
