4 RUNAwAy-IN A HoRS.-Some time since
the Rev. Professor Horn, of this place. published
the usual whereas" that his better half had left
his bed and board and forbid all persons harbOring
or trusting her on his account. Considerable quiet
sympathy was manifested for the Professor, who
had done something in the way OF preaching saliva
ton to his fellow sinners, and after the heart
less desertion, when CAP. Wheaton sold The pro-
fessors traps and caamities under the auctoneer's
hammer. our people readily bid them in at half
their value, that the Professor might realize the
means wherewith 10 leave place that had become
so repugnant to his lacerated feelings, and only
served to remind him of JOYS that were past, and
home desolated. So be sold of his things and
took off himself. In the last number of the E}era-
tor Phebe replies to her eige lord, and makes ont
a very good case for herself and bad one for the
Professor. She says: "In June last was afflicted
with congestion of the BRAIN and confined to
my bed for some length OF time. For several weeks
G~rng nv illness he never came near ne. not even
TO offer me cup Of water. After my recovery.
upon occasion, he being at the well early in the
morning, called me. Being a little deaf did not
hear him, when, angered by my not replying, he
threw a basin of cold water over me which 50
chilled me tia; il brought on an attack OF chls and
fever, from which am still suffering. Myirecoyery
being SLOW he advised me to visit Marysviie FOR my
health, which did by his persaasion-he counting
ont before me over - POO. the result of our joint
earnings for 4 number of years, with the object of
banking it. He ordered carriage TO take ale to
the depot. promising to meet there and bring ME
some money to defray my expenses while away
He arrived at the cars jast as they were leaving
handing to tie conductor, for me, the enOr-
nous sum of two dollars and fifty cents over and
above my passage. Not knowing the amount he
terms. On the a6th OF November received let
Ter from him, informing me that he would visit Ma
rysyille the latter part of that week. Bat tD my
utter dismay and grief have learned that he pass
ed through the above city the same day received
his letter-dSposlng of all our effects, the result of
fifteen years accumulation, not even sparing NE my
clothing. This is the way deserted his bed aud
board he advising all persons not 10 harbor or trust
me on his account while he left me perfectly help
less and destitute" 1t Is tolerably evident from
this statement that Pbebe the abused party, and
that the Professors grief not as weighty as was
generally supposed. His advising her to 90 TO Ma
rvsville for health was-well, we won't sav-but he
must have supposed that Marysville would finish
her. Is it total depTayity and highly colored tur-
pi1ude-n a Horn?

The Boston Post produces proof to show
that while the Puritan orators IRE splitting
venom at the South, there were committed
in Boston and vicinity, an the 4th Of July,
more crimes than the telegraph and news
papers have credited to any similar area,
any where in the country on that day:
One young woman was murdered in
Purchase street; another young woman was
murdered in Cambridge street; there was a
mob in Knecland street; and man shot
there was another mob in Castle street, and
an attempt to rob hotel in the same local.
Ity; the mob was so serious that the officers
fired on it; young man in West Roxbury,
returning home with his sisters, perhaps
from the Boston orators TRADE against tho
South, was murdered. To all these must be
added the attempts to destroy hundreds Of
lives in Massachusetts, on that day by plac.
ing distractions on the Western Railroad
track. These are the crimes committed in
open day. What unusual license the ma.
tional festival may have given to the COM
mission of these namelcss horrors for which
that section has an infamou notcriety, may
possibly appear hereafter in the caucus pro.
cecdings Of TIL Legislature, or in DR.. Stor-
er's supplementary volume. But the local
record makes public enough of what hap
pencl in Boston and vicinity on the 4th Of
July, to show that the whole South on that
day was very Arcadia in comparison.
