C’rirn. Coil.—lndignant Virtue—Com
promise and Swindle.
From the following reports in the Boston
papers, it appears that a well known “gentle
man,” formerly of this city, (for a time the
publisher of the. Broadway Belle.) has been
operating with indifferent success among the
Puritans t
An Elopement Cask.— The Boston Herald
mentions a case of elopement under the follow
ing circumstances: A jVew-York gentleman
married a young Baltimore lady about a year
ago, and last Fall they took up their abode in
Lowell. A Baltimore merchant, an bid ac
quaintance of the bride, soon afterward made
liis appearance, and was very attentive to the
lady and her husband. One evening when the
party were in a fashionable saloon the husband
was called out for a short time, and during his
absence an elopement was planned between the
lady and her friend A person in an adjoining
alcove ovfrhead the arrangement and sent the
husband an anonymous letter of warning. ‘1 he
husband kept a sharp look out, and last Wed
nesday discovered that the wife had telegraph
ed to the merchant, agreeing to meet him in
Boston at 3 o’clock that, day. The husband
immediately informed his wife that he was
going “Down East,” and coming to this city
awaited anxiously the arrival of the train from
Lowell. On its arrival, the lady was met by
the merchant, and the twain got into a car
riage and drove to the American House, the
husband following in another carriage The
husband tin n went to a lawyer, and at mid
night, in company with his lawyer and a depu
ty sheriff, proceeded to the American House,
and surprised the couple in their room. A
stormy time ensued, but the matter was final
ly settled, the husband taking $5,000 from
the me;chant, and agreeing to take his wife
again
The Sequai..—Some additional details of
the transactions at the American House on
Wednesday night, the names of parties and
the sum of money promised and paid, together
with a statement of what had happened since,
have come to light, showing the affair to have
been a preconcerted swindle of the very bold
est character. The unfortunate merchant we
shall continue to style “Philander Carrole,”
the woman whose charms overcame him, calls
herself “Mary,” and sometimes “Margaret H.
Harris,” her “husband” is known here as
“Prof. Harris” and “Prescott F. Harris.”—
The woman is well known in certain circles in
Baltimore, and managed her business most
successfully. The warrant fo r the arrest of
Air. P. Carrole was issued by Mr. B S Trea
nor, who got SIOO from “Prof. Harris” for
the service ; it was executed by C. Judson
Merrill, one of John M. Clark’s Deputy Sher
iffs lor the comity of Suffolk, who got $45
from‘‘Prescott K. Harris” for the service, and
Harris, Treanor and Merrill composed the par
ty which visited the merchant at midnight. It
was in the presence of this Deputy Sheriff of
Suffolk county, and a member of the Suffolk
Bar, that the “outraged husband” played
frantic to ihe merchant —threatened to shoot,
but didn’t mean to do so—demanded SIOO,OOO
for his wife’s honor ; fell down to $30,000 ;
finally took a draft, at sight, for $2,000, and
three endorsed notes for SI,OOO each for three,
six and nine months—called everything square
and took bis Alary again.
It has already been stated that Officer Ham
upon healing of tfie affair, went in search of
the principal parties. He ascertained on Fri
day that the draft on Baltimore for $2,000
had been placed in the hands of a State street
broker, and had been dispatched to Baltimore
to be cashed. He put a veto on the payment
at once. He then went in pursuit ot Harris
and his woman, and on Saturday morning, up
on hearing that they were in* Lowell, tele
graphed au order for their arrest and deten
tion. The Lowell officer overhauled the cou
ple in the cars for Boston. Harris at once
destroyed the tnree notes for $3,000, and also
the receipt which he had received from the Bos
ton broker for the Baltimore draft. Officers
Ham and Holmes went to Lowell, took the
prisoners into custody arid brought them to
Boston. Tney are now in this city, but not in
prison ; the party swindled refusing to appear
against them in a court of law It is grati
fying that, though the Harrisses may escape
imprisonment this time, they have not made a
single cent of money by their operation. In
deed they are out sl45 —fees to Attorney and
Sheriff. Mr. Ham is entitled to especial cre
dit for his shrewd management of this case
He has not only saved the m reliant from
paying the money to the swindlers, but he has
saved the city, to some extent, from the stig
ma that a commissioned officer had brought
upon it by being present and a witness to an
outrage upon a stranger. The matter was
laid before the High Sheriff of Suffolk on Sat
urday lie was quite unwell, but promised to
give the affair all the attention it deserved.—
He seemed to think that the conduct of his
Deputy, to view it mildly, evinced stupidity at
least. Harris will be exhibited at the Chief’s
office, at 8 o’clock thismorning. “Mary,” the
heroine of this vulgar affair, is quite an artist
in her way. She is described as being asmall,
teuder, lady-like, little body, with qualities
equal to any emotion—from the deepest and
most touching sorrow to the grandest {actua
tion—every quirk complete, every muscle train
ed, every gesture studied, the eyes now emit
ting sparks tj> indicate sensibility to a shame
which he never felt,'and then softened to grief’s
lowest and humblest measure. The oldest dis
ciple „of Dogberry could not withstand her
tears ; and the rough-visaged Holmes, and the
stern Ham, were not a little moved, although
they knew them to be counterfeit of wo. We
are by no means disposed to shield the weak
ness of travelers like Air. “Carrole,” but wise
men may yield to temptation, and when that
temptation is a part of au organized conspira
cy, and when such witnesses and assistants are
called in at its consummation, it is time for the
reputation of this city and of the execution of
our penal laws, that the heaviest censure
should fall in the right places.
A Bit of Advice.
Have you enemies ? Go straight on and
don’t mind them. If they get in your way,
walk arouud them, regardless of their spite.
A mau that has no enemies is seldom good for
anything—he is made of kind of material
which is so easily worked that every one has
a hand iu it. A sterling character—one who
i hmfcs fur himselfi and speaks what he thinks
is always sure to have enimies. They are
’’necessary to him as fresh air; they keep him
alive and active. A celebrated character, who
was surrounded by enemies, used to remark:
“They are sparks which if you do not blow,
will go out themselves ” Let this be your
feeling, while endeavoring to live down the
scandal of those who are bitter against you.
If you stop to dispute,you do but as they de
sire, and open the way for more abuse. Let
the poor fellows talk—there will be a reaction,
if you perform but your duty, and hundreds
who ere once alienated from you, will flock to
you and acknowledge their error.

Yours respectfully, jii H GRIDLEY.
C 11 It Office, Vamlalia, June 21, 1854.
Professor Wood—Dear Sir ; I take pleasure in hearing
voluntary testimony to the excellence of your Hair Resto
rative. Three mouths ago my hair was very grey. It is
now a dark brown, (the original color.) smooth and glossy.
The only application I have made to it, has been the Hair
Restorative, prepared by you, and which, from the result
in my own ease, 1 can most cordially recommend to others.
Respectfully yours, EDWARD WALCOTT.
Vincennes, la., June 21, 1553.
I’rof. 0 J Wood : As you are about to manufacture and
vend your recently discovered Hair Restorative, I will state
for whomsoever it may concern, that 1 have used it, and
known others to use it—that 1 have for several years been
in the habit of using other Hair Restoratives, and that I
find yours vastly superior to any other 1 know. It entirely
cleanses the head of dandruff, and with one month’s pro
per use, will restore any person's hair to the original youth
ful color and texture, giving it a healthy, soft and glossy
| appearance ; and all this, without discoloring the hands
that apply it, or the dress on which if drops. I would
therefore recommend its use toevery one desirous of having
a fine color and texture to hair. Respectfully yours,
WILSON KING.
St. Louis, June 29, TV>3.
Prof. Wood : As you arc about to prepare and vend your
recently discovered Hair Restorative, and as you request my
opinion of it, 1 will state that my hair was, a few months
ago, very grey, and after using two bottles of your Hair
Restorative, it resumed its original color, and since its ap
plication. all dandruff has disappeared from my head, and
I have been troubled with no disagreeable itching of the
scßlp. lam satisfied that those who use it, will not regret
it, as it gives the appearance of having been recently oiled.
1 am prepared therefore, to recommend its use to all who
are desirous of having a beautiful head ofhair.
I am, sir, yours, etc., II L STEWART.
Cincinnati, ()., Feb. 10, 1851.
Prof. Wood—Dear Sir : My hair had for several years,
been becoming prematurely grey, accompanied by a harsh
ness which rendered the constant application of oil neces
sary in dressing it. When I commenced using your Hair-
Restorative, about two mont s ago, it was in that condi
tion ; and having continued its use till within the last three
weeks,it has turned to its natural color, and assumed a
softne.-sand lustre greatly to bepreferred to those produced
by the application of oils or any other preparation I have
ever used. 1 regard it as an indispensable article for every
lady's toilet, whether to be used as a Hair Restorative, or
for the simple purpose of dressing or beautifying the hair.
You have permission to refer to me all who entertain any
doubt of its performing all that is claimed for it.
MRS C SYMONDS, lit, 3rd Street.
Watertown. Mass.. May 1. 185-f.
Prof. O J Wood : Allow me to attest the * irtues and
magic powers of your Hair Restorative. Three months
since, being exceedingly grey, I purchased, and soon com
menced to use two bottles, and it scoa began to tell, in re
storing the silver locks to their native color, and the hair
which was before dry and harsh and falling off, now became
soft and glossy, audit ceased falling : the dandruff disap
peared, and the scalp lost all the disagreeable itching so
annoying before, and now I not only look, but feel young
again. Respectfully yours, etc..
