BENEDICT ARNOLD received many insults
in his last days from honorable English
men. The following incident is related
BY Samuel Curwen in his 'Journal and
Letters"
ION the Goth Of March, 1852. Lord
North arose in Parliament and announced
the resignation of his Ministry. On this
occasion, the Earl of surry, happening to
espy Arnold, the American seceeding Cen
eral, in the House, sent him q message to
depart, threatening, in case Of refusal, to
move for breaking up the gallery; to which
Arnold answered that he was introduced by
= member; to this Lord Surry replied that
he might, under that condition, stay, If he
could promise nerer 10 enter it again, with
which Arnold complied. This is the Sec
ond instance of public disrespect he has
met with; the King having been forced to

CHEAP DINNERS. Pierre Blot has written
to tho New York World explaining the
reason why cheap and good dinners cannot
be had in this country as we'll as in Europe.
The Discrimination Of Americans to go any
distance for their dinners, and their habit
OF taking this meal at the counter nearest
their place of business, is regarded as the
main cause of the difficulty. In Europe
the case il different, and business
men there will walk blocks, and even
miles, TO reach place where they can
got cheap and good food. Another reason
is sAid IL be the fondness Of Americans for
display, and their preference for this un-
substantial quality to palutable and digest
ible dishes. And again, the rents III this
country, custom necesaitating the location
Of eating houses in tho very centars
Of business, arc very much higher than in
Europe, ard tho busy part Of the day is
confined to space OF about three
hours while most OF the restaurants
are entirely closed Oh Sunday. On
tho other hand, those who eat at
restaurants in Europe take two meals
a day, and at different hours; the break
fast hour is from o'clock in the morning
to o'clock in the afternoon, and the din
her hour from o'clock to o'clock In the
evening, and on Sundays tho business Mt
all the eating houses il ivelier than on
week days. In concluding, Mr.. Blot says
that these who carry lunches with them
have two advantages above all others
they get a cheap lunch aud take their din
ners at the proper time-which is when
they are through with the business Of the
day-they then have time to eat and to d.
Qest.

Murder Will Out-A Most Strange Case.
Erom tina Trenton IN / Sentinel

|
| 1t is now forty years ago or more tina
the body Of q stranger was found in thu
| woods near the Stony Brook Bridge, abon
one mile to the east of Pennington, vii
| lage of this county. We were q child then
resided near said village, and remembered
the circumstance well. 1t was IN incident
to make lasting impression on quiet
rural neighborhood. Years later when We
boys used to 60 in 10 swim in that vicinity
more or less fears were always excited by
reference to the circumstance, for boyhood
as we'll ,.s age is superstitioua. Nobody
believes in ghosts, and yet almost every.
body is afraid of them.
The body was found in sitting posture
against beech tree. The face was dis
torted, the eyes protruding as though the
dead man had died in agony. His hat lay
few feet from him. His dress betokened
one in comfortable circumstances. He was
stranger, and no one ever remembered to
have seen him. There was no money upon
the corpse. The body, without special ex-
animation, was buried, we forget where.
There were no wounds. and no evidence
of violence. At that day public scrutiny
was not so acute in reference to the mystic
rious deed, and no verdict of supposed
murder was recorded.
And now comes the strange elucidalton
of the case. A few days since accident
placed in our hands a copy of the Man.
chester (England) Examiner. In that
number we found the dying confession Of q
man named Daniel Hulseman acknowledge
ing to murder perpetrated forty years
ago, in tho state of New Jersey, United
States Of America. The murdered mans
name was James Eberhart. The murderer
was acquainted with his victim in the old
country, and came out about one year be-
fore him. Hulseman was a tanner, and
worked in New York. When Eberhart
came over he sought out his old acquaint-
ance. On pretence of examining the coun-
try and purchasing land, uulseman started
with Eberhart on tour through New Jer-
sey.
He had with him flasl: of poisoned
friend for his money. They first stopped
at Princeton, aud then concluded to walk
across the intervening nine miles to Pen
nington, the weather being pleasant and
public travel being greatly circumscribed.
When within mile OF the latter place
they stepped over into the woods, under
tree, to partake Of some victuals they had
procured before starting Hulsenlan then
passed his flask to his companion. who
drank literally, and died within M hour
thereafter, in fearful agony, Hulseman look
ing on all the while. He then robbed him
of his money, and set him up againsta tree
as before described.
There are still old men about Princeton
who will remember tlis event. 1t seems
almost marvellous that, after lapse offorty
years, this affair should have come TO light
by death-bed confession, three thousand
miles from the place OF commission. And
yet it is even 50.
- The Rev. Mr.. Reed. OF Maiden, Mass
considered the expenditure of $4,000 on
hi church ediiice poor way TO dispose Of
money, aud hoped 'the Lord would lay
the whole thing fat" The big gale did the
business, and left wreck worth, for kind
ling wood, about $500.
