| Some time since we gave an account Of a Fin
lander who had left his reindeer home in Russia,
travelled around the world two or three times, and
finally married in q Creole family of this place,
and settled permanently in the country as pilot.
The citizen whose name was Miller had been visi-
ted by John Berry, an old schoolmate and brother
tar, and the two supped and drank together, and
cited up thousand old times until it became ne
cessary for Berry to retire Just as they were
| about separating, Berry dealt his host a stunning
blow over the head, and then stabbed Miller in a
way that would have sent the knife to his heart
but for the depth Of Miller's chest. No one could
ever guess what imaginary insult had offended
| Berry, and Miller was left upon the threshold Of
life without knowing what offense he had given.
We were informed yesterday that one Of the
parties in the matter had died. and remembering
| the wound that had been dealt we did not doubt
but what it was Miller. But in real life as well as
| romance we sometimes hear of poetica justice,
| and Berry case has illustrated this Miller whose
life was in the greatest danger has since recovered
and Berry who went into Jail in perfect health has
! died Of disease-punshed without the artificial
aids Of justice for one Of the darkest actions OF
\ which human nature could be guilty

Stone OF Odd Fellows Hail.
The beautiful hall of the Odd Fellow son Camp
street was burned down it will be recollected, on
the night of the 4th of JRly last. Since that time
the ruins of the building have been gradually re.
( moved; but it was not until yesterday that the
| corner stone was taken out, opened, and its con-
tents once more exposed to the light Of day.
Our fellow-citizen, hr. E. M. Russia, was kind
enough to exhibit to us the contents of the
stone yesterday, and we confess q melancholy
sense of pleasure in looking at them. The first
thing that arrests attention is the remarkable
state OF preservation OF the different articles de-
posted in the stone. Most of them looked as
lresh as they might nave looked the day they were
put away with 50 much solemnity and ceremony
The corner stope, many OF our citizens will re-
member, was laid on the 29th day of April, 1850.
u contents, therefore, nave quietly rested there
for more than sixteen years.
AS newspaper man, our attention was natu-
rally attracted, first of all, to the papers. There
was taken from the stone copy, each, of the
CRESCENT, the Bulletin, the Delta, the Picayune,
the Bee' the true Delta and the Courier. Each
paper except the bulletin, was lnclosed IN
wrapper WIN the name OF the paper distinctly
marked on II IN lnk' and the packages looked as
