The Story of a Hermit.
pottaylUe(Penn.) Cor. N. Y. Times]
There died, near the village of limg
towu, Schuylkill county, near the north
ern boundary,not long since.a man named
Harper, the greater part of whose life
was passed in voluntary hermitage among
the rocks and mountains of Schuyllull
and Columbia counties. He first appeared
about forty years ago in West Penn Town
ship, Schuylkill county, where, in a wild
and unfrequented spot in the mountains
he buflt a rude hut and shut himself out
from all communication with the outside
world. Although having the appearance
of a man far advanced in life, it has since
been ascertaned that he was not yet forty
years of age. Who or what lie was no
one knew. He very rarely left his lonely
retreat,and then only to obtain certain nec
essaries of life. How he lived or what he
did were matter of which the inhabitants
of the town were entirely ignorant. Old
residents remember his coming to those
parts, and say that he truly “ dwelt with
solitude aud walked the rocks and foiest
like a wolf.” Young men grew to old
a-'c and died, and still Harper remained
iu his rude hut. At last tire beirnit not
having been seen for some time by any of
the villagers, it began to be whispered
about that he was dead. His liut was vis
ited, but, although it was empty, and evi
dently had been for some time, nothing
was found to indicate that the hermit had
died. ,
A short time afterward, there appealed
iu the village of Kiugtowu a queer old
man, with long, snowy locks and board,
bent form and wrinkled visage. He was
bare-headed, clad iu ragged garments, and
walked with a long, smooth shift. Pur
chasing a few groceries iu the village, lie
disappeared. Some months afterward he
again came to the village, made similai
purchases and went away. this time,
the curiosity of tire villagers being excited
to know more of the singular being, he
was followed. He took a rough and nar
row path, which ran some miles over the
mountain, and led to a deep, locky goige,
near the boundary of Schuylkill and Col
umbia counties. In this gorge was a daik
and damp cavern, into which the old man
entered, and where it was found he dwelt.
This was the hermit of AY cst 1 cun Town
ship. He had, it was thought, left liis
former retreat to find more peneet soli
tude and isolation.
The severity of the present winter, and
the great depth of the snow, a short time
since compelled the old man to leave his
mountain fastness, as he was on the verge
of starvation. He wandered over in o
Columbia county, where he found an
asylum in the house of a kiud fanner,
where he died a few days after he was
given shelter. On his death-bed he gave
an account of his life, and tlie causes
which led him to put himself beyond the
ipale of a society of which lie had once
been a bright ornament. His narrative
was substantially as follows : -
His name was James Harper. When
he died he was within a few weeks of
reaching the eightieth anniversary of his
birth. Between forty and fifty years ago
he was the senior partner of Harper &
Bro., hardware merchants. Market street,
Philadelphia. His brother was some
years his junior, and their firm stood
.among the leading ones ot the city. I hey
lived in fine style in Chestnut street, and,
neither of them being married, their
only sister superintended their household
affairs.
About the year 1835 Janies Harper
went to Europe, leaving tlie business in
charge of bis brother, in whom lie placed
the utmost confidence. He spent two years
traveling in the old country, during which
time he married an accomplished, beauti
ful and wealthy young English lady, a
member of one of the leading families.
For some months previous to his depart
ure from London to return home, Mr. Har
per had not heard from his brother his
letters, which had been regular and cheer
ing, suddenly ceasing. Apprehensive of
something wrong, the senior partner de
termined to forego further saunterings in
Europe, and, shortly after his marriage,
embarked for Philadelphia, accompanied
by his bride. When the voyage was about
half over, and the despondency that had
seized Mr. Harper when he left London
had been somewhat dispelled, the small
pox broke out among some emigrant fam
ilies in the steerage. The plague spread
to the cabin passengers, and among the
victims was the young wife of Mr. Harper,
who died in the greatest agony, and whose
body was cast into the sea. This wa3 the
first thrust into the heart of the returning
merchant, and prepared him for others
that awaited him. After lying in quaran
tine some time after reaching port, the
passengers of the plague-stricken ship
were permitted to laud.
A few hours afterward Mr. Harper
learned that he was a ruined man. His
brother, shortly after his senior went to
Europe, fell into dissolute hands, and in a
year and a half had driven the firm into
bankruptcy, and in a fit of desperation
blew out bis brains in a gambling-hell.
The sister died in a few weeks ot grief,
and the property ol the firm w'a3 all sold
by the sheriff. Mr. Harper found himself
without a dollar or a single relative, and
barely a friend, wheie he had left a pros
perous business, a happy home, and hun
dreds of flattering acquaintances. Over
whelmed with misfortune, broken-hearted
and deserted, he determined to put him
self forever away from all contact with
the world and live alone with his bitter
ness. He kept his vow sacredly, until he
knew that death was stealing upon him,
when he felt that he would li£e to close
his eyes upon the world surrounded, if
possible, by fellow-beings who would min-
ister to bis last wants and give him a
Christian burial.
What must have been tire weight of
sorrow that sat upon this unfortunate
man’s soul to induce him to forsake the
world aud its manifold blessings and live
iu bitter solitude, alone with bis misery,
during an ordinary lifetime V His case
certainly has 110 known parallel in the
history of our race.

THK CAREER OF HARRY RUCK. OF RICH
MOND, VA.
ms ADVENTURES IN THE UNITED STATES,
ENGLAND AND FRANCE —HOW HE CAME
TO GRIEF IN PARIS.
During two years past a negro of hercu
lean frame and about forty years old has
been performing as juggler at various
provincial cities of Fiance. He named
himself, Henry, or Harry, Huck, “the Vir
ginia Juggler,” aud by his extraordinary
feats achieved so much celebrity that be
was finally engaged at the Cirque Nation
ale, iu Paris, where his performances every
night were applauded by the delighted
spectators to the echo.
Buck lived with a very light mulatto
woman at a very pretty cottage in the sub
urbs of Passy, aud was fond of giving lit
tle suppers to his friends of the circus,
whom he always treated with a lavish
hospitality, which would have excited sus
picion but for the fact that he received a
salary of 200 francs a week, an extraordi
nary compensation iu that line ot business
iu France. In reality, however, the jug
gler increased bis earnings by prowling iu
the night through the aristocratic suburbs
of Paris as a highwayman. He must have
carried on his nefarious business for seve
ral months,for when his house was searched
there were found nearly one hundred gold
and silver watches, besides countless arti
cles of jewelry. It was found also that
he had regularly deposited in one of the
Parisian savings banks sums far exceeding
the salary which he received at the Cirque
National!;. The manner iu which he acted
as a highwayman may be best seen from
what occurred during the affair which led
to liis arrest and conviction.*
On the Kith of January, between eleven
and twelve p. 111., Monsieur Baretre, a re
tired banker of Paris, who owns a sump
tuous villa at Passy, returned iu a hack,
from Paris to his home. The hack stopped
at the gate, and drove off as soon as M.
Baretre had alighted. A secoud or two
afterward, before the old banker had been
able to open the gate, which was locked, a
tall, dark form rushed upon him, and,
SEIZING HIM BY THE COLLAR,
exclaimed in a low tone, “ Quick, give me
your money and your watch !” M. Bare
tre, as a matter of course, was not a little
startled at the sudden appearance of the
stranger, and liis suprise changed to down
right terror when he looked his assailant
in the face aud saw that he was black as
the ace of spades, while the firm expres
sion of the man’s eyes lent additional sig
nificance to the threat, to which he now
uttered, “Quick, quick, or it will be bad
for you 1” Tlie old banker wanted lo open
bis mouth, but be was silenced by the ap
pearance of a pistol which the mysterious
and formidable highwayman levelled at
his bead. There was nothing left for M.
Baretre but to surrender bis purse and
watch to the robber. “Now you will give
me your handkerchief,’’ said the robber.
The banker produced it. The robber
thereupon tied it very tight mound the old
gentleman’s face, no doubt in order to
blindfold and.gag him at the same time.
Then he dealt his victim a terrible blow
on the head and ran away. He had prob
ably thought that this would stun the
banker, but be was mistaken. M. Baretre
wore a wig, and the latter
BROKE THE FORCE OF THE BLOW
in part. In a moment he was on his feet
again, tore the handkerchief from his face,
and cried out in a shrill voice, “Murder,
robbers, thieves !’’ A policeman stationed
in a neighboring avenue heard his cries,
and tiie highwayman was arrested. Mr.
Baretre identified him at once at the sta
tion house, and there the prisouer made
the following statements to the Police
Commissioner in charge !
“My name is Henry. I am forty-one
years old. My birthplace is in Richmond,
in Virginia, North America, where I was
a slave for twenty-two years. In 1854 I
ran away from my master, and fled to
Canada. Being a good hostler, I found
ready employment, and finally joined the
circus of Mr. Van Ainburg at Toronto. I
travelled with it until 1869, and learnt my
present business, juggling. I appeared in
nearly every large city in America. Dur
ing the civil war I made New York my
headquarters, and being taken sick I left
the circus business and- opened a restau
rant ; but I lost money and then went
into the anny of the Union as sergeant in
a colored regiment, but deserted soon
afterward and joined another circus. In
1868 I came to England, and in 1870 to
France. 1 have been punished repeatedly
in America, and twice in England, lor
assaults, but I have never been long in
prison. lam married arid have two chil
dren. I cannot deny having assaulted
the complainant. I deny to answer as to
other crimes I Way have committed while
in Paris. I desire counsel."
Oa tbe following morning tbe bluck
highwaymah was taken to tbe ilazus
prison, in Paris, and subjected to a rigid
examination al the bands of the Judge
d'lnstruction, who succeeded in worming
a full confession out of him. From this
confession it turns out that Bock bad rob
bed whenever tbe weather was favorable,
and that bis victims bad generally fallen
an easy prey, his black face, which nearly
all of them had taken for a mask, having
almost always struck terror into their
hearts. No one had ever suspected that
he was the author of these crimes. He
had dressed very fashionably, and his in-

tercourse with people in good circumstan
ces had precluded any surveillance over
his acts on the part of the police. On
January 21 he was taken before the Seine
Tribunal, and on his confession in tire
Baretre case sentenced to five years trans
portation. He was, however, sent back
to the Mazas jail in order to be tried ou
numerous other charges of highway rob
bery, and it is liardly doubtful but that lie
will be transported tor life.

IT is universally conceded that advertising Is
a necessity to success In business; it is also
conceded, by the shrewdest business men, that
newspapers are the best medium (or reaching
all parties Whose trade Is desired.
THE MONHOE ADVERTISER
reaches more of the people trading with Ma
con than any other journal published in the
country ; it is, therefore, the best medium of
communication with the planting interests.
We will bo itappy at any lime to furnish refer
ences to leading merchants here and elsewhere,
who will testily to tbe fact that they have re
ceived orders for goods from parties who read
their cards in Vie Advertiser. In fact, many
who have availed themselves of Its columns,
candidly say that its value exceeds that of au
other journals.in which they are represented.
The Advertiser has the freshness of youth and
the ripeness of age, and ia therefore deservedly
successful.
