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. A liiiick Chmlp Duval. 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- MACON, GA„ AVEDNESDAY, MARCH 12, 1873. 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.
