Prom The National Intellgencer Of July 28l
DEATH OF MR.. GALES.
1t becomes our painful duty to announce to the
readers of this journal that Joseph Gales is no
on Saturday evening last, at lexington, his late
residence, near this city. He was in the 18th wear
of his age. Though this melancholy event was
not entirely unexpected, in consequence of Mr..
Gales lntlrm health for some months past, it is
none the less true that the blow so long suspended
has at last fallen with weight as sudden as it is
affective. 1t is some consolation, however, to
know that his end was calm and painless, as his
lie had been serene and virtuous Full of years
and full of honors rich in the tributes of venera
tlon and regard awarded by good and great men
throughout the land, and beloved, as falls to the
lot OF few, by all who shared his nearer compan-
lonship in the home and the walks of private life
he has been gathered by the great reaper, Death
sheaf fully ripe for the harvest, into a garner
made fragrant and precious by the fruits of life
ever noble in its aspirations and ever laborious in
good works 1t is not for us, least of all at a mo-
ment like this, to write his epitaph, nor are
words of formal commemoration needed to iudite
for our readers that eulogy which they, equally
with u.s. are competent to celebrate in memory of
his intellectual greatness. 1t were better that we
should keep silent while yet the startled ear
seems caught by the sound of voice crying with
such thrilling emphasis from the scene ofhis former
activities, like that voice which the Revelator
heard from Heaven, saying, "Write, blessed are
the dead who die in the Lord from henceforth; yea
saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their la
pors; and their works do follow them
MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT IN BosToN BAY-The Bos-
ton Trareller comes to US with an account of mel
ancholy accident which took place in Boston Bay
on Friday, and which resulted in the drowning of
two Young ladies. The Irareller says:
CON Friday afternoon, party OF young people,
residing on the South Cove, Federal and
kneeland streets, went down the harbor in the
yacht Thistle, belonging to Mr.. J. W. Leatherbee,
superintendent of one of the South Boston
bridges. The boat was in charge of Timothy
oHallaran, an experienced boatman and the party
consisted of eleven persons besides the skipper
jeremiah Murphy, Michael Lavery Edward 0'Don-
Anna McCarty, Mary O'Brien, Mary Murphy, Kate
Glavin and Mary Ann and Kate Sney, the latter
only about ten years old.
When off Fort independence, the yacht was run
INTO by the schooner Alma, of Granville, N. s.,
ana was so stove that 1t sank almost instantly and
before any of the party could get hold of anything
with which to buoy themselves up. O'Haloran
The moment the collision occurred, jumped on board
the Alma, and threw rope to the Thistle, which
was caught by Jerry Murphy, who was dragged
through the water by it, the schooner not stopping
In its course Mary Jane Fitzsmmons got her
arms around his neck, and clung to him till they
were both saved by boat from the steam tug
Wapole, which fortunately was near at hand at
the time. Kate Glavin caught hold of Murphy by
the waist, and was taken along some distance but
was drawn beneath the water so much that she
was forced to let go. and she was drowned. The
rest OF the party with the exception of Mary Muir
ply, Hoated and were saved BY boats that were
sent to their assistance from Cape Cod schooner
and the Alma, and another Nova Scotia vessel
The Murphy girl is supposed to have gone down in
the Thistle The two girls drowned were each about
seventeen years of age. Mary Murphy was the
daughter of Timothy Murphy, living in Shaving
street. and the parents of the Gavin girl reside in
Cove place. The bodies have not been recovered -
The CONFESSION OF HARDEN.-At the period of
Harden's execution it was announced that he had
written confession of his crimes, involving the
characters of a number of females attending his
ministerial teachings, and that his father intended
to publish 1T for so much copy. As his father has
been described as a respectable and worthy man.
the TACT announced appeared strange and unnatu-
raj. 10 make money out of the confession of his
own sons baseness was not an act consistent with
the idea OF the worthiness of the father, and to
publish the shame of others who had been the vic.
tlm$ot that baseness, would have been as cruel in
the father as it was mean in the son to reveal the
facts, under pretended remorse of conscience for
another crime. The confession has been published
but it appears that the disgusting revelations ex
hlbited have been suppressed, if they were ever
written In this book the poisoning of his wife is
openly confessed, but occupies only little over
page, and merely confirms what has before been
published. He administered arsenic to her on an
apple. Several times afterwards he gave it to her.
Little is said concerning Hardens feelings except
that after the murder be was haunted by fear and
remorse. 1t is mentioned, as a corrolary to this
confession, that to bis other crimes, Harden added
that OF forgery. He endeavored, on the day he
bought the poison for his wife, to get checked at
the Easton Bank a check for 81 900, with the
name of ohm |. Blair, President of the Belvidere
Bank forged upon it, The forgery was discovered
at the Phllipsburg Bank, but no means were
taken to arrest the offender, who subsequently,
confessed the fact to the sherf.-PhHa. Ledger,

The DUEL BETWEEN THE AMERICAN AND THE
CoUNr.-The Paris correspondent of the Courier
des Etas Unts referring to the recent duel between
an American gentleman and the Count Henekel de
Donersmark, of which some mention has already
been made, writes as follows ''Peepe are talking
much of the duel which took place at Cologne, and
are greatly pleased with the authentic information
which shows that Miss Willing did not follow the
Count into Silesa, and that her brother, who went
to the duel not from America but from Paris was
not guilty of the brutalities which a Berlin cor
respondent charged upon him. Bat while the
honor, both of sister and brother, comes untouched
out of this painful affair, the occurrence suggests
lesson for the young republican damsels of the
United States who tormented with desire to
ally themselves with titled husbands. That which
caused Count Henekel to break his engagement
with Miss Willing was chiefly the opposition of his
family. To the old noblesse of Europe, American
girls always the daughters of tradesmen, VIII ON
they regard as paruenus. The crowns of Countess
and Duchess, which these young women buy so
dear, are for them only crowns of thorns Let
them, then, remain in the circle where their
mothers moved, and let them be content with being
the best daughters in the world this title is worth
all Others"
FREIGHT RATES FROM THE WEsr.-The St. Louis
Democrat, of Friday last, says: A few days since
one of the leading officers of the Baltimore and
Ohio road was in this city and attempted to fix up
compromise between the roads leading out of this
city, in reference to the through tariff to the East
The proposition was made to increase the rates to
the General Freight Agent of the Terre Haute,
Alton and st. Louis road, when that gentleman
agreed to accept it, provided the other road would
agree to the same, and enter into a joint bond to
forfeit So 900 upon the first violation of the agree
ment We have not heard what course the Ohio
and Mississippi and Chicago and Alton roads have
pursued in this matter, but from previous assu-
RANGES we are convinced that nothing can be done
without some sort of an arrangement of this char
acter. The determination of each road not to
trust the other is firm that without forfeiture
the security against violation is very small ANY
advance in rates must be accompanied by a guar
antee against Cutting" and such we understand
is the position of the Terre Haute road If the
others think this impeachment of their good
faith, it is very unfortunate; but would it not be
as we'll to bury the past, ignore the reasons why
confidence has been lost, and resume paving
tariff? Less of the personal and more of the de-
sire to make money, would be advantageous to all
concerned.
