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. LEGAL SALES.

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.
