AMHERST, Mass., Fev. 8, 1871. *Sometimes,” as poor eld Artemus Ward used to Jove to say, ‘a Count isn’t of much ’count after ail,"” and tt must be ackhowledged that tnis is eccasion- ally the case. There are instances, however, one of which has frequenty been alluded to in the celumns of the AERALD, Where those who possess this title of nobiMy manifest clearly their determination to prove themselves equal if not superior to the ave- rage classes of men. The case alludea to has sadly agitated the surface of the commonly staid society of this sober little town, Even the sedate professors 1 the college herein located have made thersselves part and parcel of the matter, and their 250 students (who form the principal portion of the population) ave gossipped and plotted and planned about the affair as if it were one immediately concerning their Toure whereabouts, Even now the subject has not ceased to be a matter of general comment, and the imterest bids fair to have a long struggle for ex- istence. THE STORY, briefy recapitulated—for its substance has already appeared in your columns—is as follows:—Miss Uarrie Lester, @ bewitching young lady of twenty- three, found herself some years ago heiress of a darge fortune. Her father, who was a prominent banker of Rochester, N. Y., died quite suddenly, Jeaving an estate worth $2,000,000. Tims was to be aivided equally between his wife and daughter, and, in order to provide more fully for its security ana for the proper care of his minor child, he tn- vested Professor E. 8, Tyler, his brother-in-law, with the management of the property and the guardian- sbip of the young girl. As might easily be imag- med, the family were beyond the reach of want, and after the completion of Car- nre’s education they occupied their time in a diversified manner, sometimes travelling about the world and again enjoying a luxurious repose at the residence of Professor ‘Iyler, in thistown. They bad, iu fact, come to look upon his house as a home for them both, and Professor Tyler, who had succeeded in acquiring almost absolute control of affairs, had taught Mss Carrie to address tim as ‘father. The housenold was, to all outward appearances, a happy one, nor did the trequent absence of the female por- tion of the family tend to dim in the slightest the affection which seemed to exist. The love for fre- quent journeying, and that earnest desire which almost everybody cherishes for knowledge of the World outsiue his or her immediate vicinity, finally, In 1863, carried the mother and daughter to the capl- tal of the United States. Their position and infla- ence at once placed them in the very best society of the metropolis, and it was there that ihey first met me COUNT EUGENE MITKIEWITS, al that time occupying the pesition of secretary of the Russian Legation. The Count possessed a very attractive personal appearance, bad a light mus- tache and English whiskers, and was, as somebody toid me to-day, ‘a reguiar lady killer.’ In conver- sation he was particularly agreeavie, and had acouired the rare art of charming everybody whom he met. It is, perhaps, not too early to mention ‘that there resulted a case of LOVE AT FIRST 81GHT. Miss Carrie was perfectly bewitched with the man- ners of her noble adorer and he im his turn fel a viclim to her personal charms. Each, of course, strove strenuously to keep a knowledge of the real state of affairs from the other; but true Jove, like murder, must finally come out. By almost imperceptible signs, then encouraged by Ler eyes, by definite and more pro- nounced actious, and at lastin words, the Count de- clared his undying affection, and was placed almost 4b the seventh heavens when he earned it was re- ciprocated. Mutual transpert followed, of course. After the firet outbreak of love, however, they began to look more closely at the reai state of affairs. Miss Carrie, it will be remembered, was still a minor ‘and subject to the control of her guardian. ILL-NATURED PEOPLE hereahouts said then, as they reiterate now, that he (Professor Tyler) cherishea as the nearest to bis heart a# desire that his eldest son, @ lawyer im New York, sbouid receive the hand and jortune of his ward, Tne Professor himself, although a teacher of Greek in the college here, receives a salary of but $2,000 a year, and the son is sald not to have achieved a remarkable degree either of brilltancy or fortune in the practice of his profession. “To let the immense fortune of Miss Lester, with its pros- peciive addition on the death of her mother, ge out of the family would show a lack either of manage- ment or common sense, and the Professor naturally desires to see the cousins made one.” So they ail spoke, and both the Count and his intended bride were perfectly aware ef the nature of what was said. {ver effecting an engagement, therefore, they sepa- ratea with an agreement to keep the matter secret until after Miss Carrie became of age; put assumed names were adopted under which they could keep up @ correspondence. Two years passed away be- Tore the lovers met again. This time it was in Paris, whither the Count had retired after the termination of his connection with the Kussian Legation, and Which formed a convenient resting place for Mrs. Lester and her daughter during the progress of @ Continental tour. The Count, having veen previously apprised of their arrival, met them at the Hotel Meurice, and cordially offered tne hospitalities of his house, which Were eartily accepted. There the three dwelt to- gether in unity for a period of periaps eight weeks, the Count being diligent in his attentions to them, appearing betore the motoer in his character of host, and acting the part of a most devoted lover when alone in the presence ef his flaneée, With the ter- mination of their visit the ladies departed from Paris and returned to the heuse of Profeasor Tyle in Amherst. There, in the course of a few days’ conver- sation about what they had met and seen, it was re- veaied io the horror-struck guardian that there was a third party in the way of the fulfilment of his cherished arrangements. The hospitality of the Count seemed pregnant with disaster to nis plans fer a consolidation of the interests of his niece with those of his son, and he, without apprising anybody of his discovery, bewok himsell actively to the work of re- storing affairs to their former condition. To effect tis, Says the people of he town, he instituted a series of plans for POISONING the mind ef the mother against her daughter's be- trothed. As a preliminary imovement he com- menced dexterously to insinuate queries concerning te Count’s character and prospects, and, without develop) his motives, he contrived to impress the mind of Lester With a belief that her to-pe son-in-law Was ne betier than be should be, or, in ether words, was an imposter. This aceomplisted, he torned his attention te the daughter, but met with an unexpecica obstacle. The first foreshadow- ing of an attack upon the Count brought forth an open avowal of the relation which they bore to each other, and the discomfited collegiate reured from the feild. His only hope then Jay tn the possiblity of @ complete severance of the two devoted hearts by interception of such correspondence as should pass between them and by the put- tung forward of other gentlemen who might usurp the place oceupied by Count Mitkiewitz. Professor Tyler spent five years in purswance of these ideas, bit falied to awain thetr accomplishment, Although he placed many stumbling blocks im the way of com- smunieation vetween the lovers, they veritied the as- seruon that Love ianghs at locksmiths, nc often sent messages to eacu other.

Before the train arrived Count Mitkle- witz had registered nis name on the books of the Amherst House, and the battled professors were Ovliged to be reconciled to the {ruitlessness of their labor. The Count retired to a room for toilet pur- peers, after which he made some inquiries as to the locality of Professor ‘Tyler's residence. Bewg re- ferred to a Mr. Wolfe, a inend of 5 iraigs that worthy walked with him to the house.

At last, filuging his arms into the air, he rushed up to his room, with the exclamation, “1 cannot, {cannot stand this; for there’s murder ip Tay heart!’ Searcely had he deparied, however, before A FOMIDABLE ARRAY of college professors presented themselves at the oiice of the hotel and desired to see the Count. The procession was headed by the Rey. Dr. Tyler, the erudite teacher uf the Greek language, at whose heels followed closely Prosessur Mather, his asso- clate, aud Jultus Seelye, professor of menial sciences in the same university, Mr. Tyler's son, a spindling youth of twenty-two years of age, and seventy-iour laches in heighi, accompanied the party. At their request tke Count came into the parlor, where & most exciting interview took place, Substantially the conversatien was as foilows, betng conducted almost exciusively by Professor Tyler and the Count:— Proiessor IyLER—We come here, sir, to inform you that your presence in Amherst is not desired by = cnuzens aud we request that you leave the Place, COUNT—For what reason, sir? TYLER—Because we dou’t wantand won't have you here.

Once more | warn you to return from Whence you came, and, if you refuse, [ will set a mob of 250 students upon you and you'll be driven away in ridicuious disgrace. That is all. Count—"No, sir; that is not all, I have borne with your insolence as lopg as human endurance can just, Leave the room,” he contiaued, Josin; completely lus sell-control, “G—d d—an you all, an go toh—L” This put a stop to farther efforts tn that direction, and the party nuddied itself out. As they were golug Gown stairs Tyler met the proprietor of the hotel, Mr, Parke, and orderea him to drive the Count out of doors, but was politely rebuffed by the declaration that “so long as a man slays in my house and treats it and me iv a gentiemanly-like mauner, he shall be respected.” Tyier gathered the skirts of his garments abeut bim and deparied in high dudgeon, ANOTHER ACCOUNT OF THE INTERVIEW WITH THE PROFESSORS represents that the worthy instructors of the Amherst College told the Count that his lady love did pot want to see him, to which he answered that if she would send him # note to that effect he would gO peaceably—or if they would bring a ring which ne had given herlong ago, and which had never been off her Ginger smce he put 1 there, he sheuld know by that tuat she did not want to see him and would go. le was told that he was uuwerwuhy of her. His reply was, ‘The man does not live wiio is ee of her.” And so tuey left nim im the morn- ing. What Le wanted was to get a note to the lady, Who Was Closely watched, He ofered $500 to any one Who would take one. Aiter his repuise at the house and the attack at the hotel he became talka- lve, and told his troubles, and how he loved and how much opposition there was in the family. He sought advice, and fually strategy was thought best in order to get a letter or word to her of tus arrival in own. This was resolved upon after din- ner, and & man was despatched with @ letter, to reconnoitre about the premises, and if possible to gain sight Of her vo bold itup. To tnis end he was stationed just around the corner of a near neigh- bor's barn. The young lady, who was expecting that he would soon be in the country, and being sus- picious that something unusual Was going on by the general appearance of things about the house, re- solved that she would seek an opportunity to slip ner guard and go to the village, thinking to tele- graph and find out from a motoal frieud in New York If tne Count had arrived. Jast before tts one of the servants of the family, who had gone out upon an errand, was seen upon the street, and sent to tne notel to get a note from the Count to take to Miss Lester, Armed with that she had started for home, when, just by the telegraph office, she spied Miss Lester coming up the street, having availed herself of the confusion incident upon we departure of friends from Northampton, who had Leen calling upon the iamily. Sv, rushing out a back doer, through the snowy fields, she reached the street by a back Way. Meeting tie servant, she was told “Phe Count has come,” and is at the Amnersi House; and away she flew, and the meeting took Place in the hall, each oe jor very joy. ’Twas affecting im the extreme. The lady being missed from home, search was made, and lier uncle found her in communion with her lever in the parlor at the hotel, her servant being present. Upon his arrival he used ail his powers to induce her to ge home, charging him with stealing a ring, and 100k- ing towards one on his finger. The lady sprang forward and said. ‘I gave him that ring, and put it upon his finger myself. Each declared befure che ‘uncle that they would marry one another. He ap- pealed to her by all that’s good—bpy all her moral sense—to give him up; if she kept on she would see trouble enough. Stil she replied, ‘I must;’’ the Count often interrupting her by the question, “Wul you marry me?” that he might hear her say again and again “| will.” If she seemed te hesitate or ure of replying instantly, he would at once say, ‘Then you Woa't Murry me; here, take your-ring,” pretending to be taking i from his Anger, when she would instantly say, ‘ou know I will; why are you so cruel, Eugene?” The professor, fnaing he could do notning, Went to bring the motuer, and soon re- turned with her, and the same scene was gone over, resulting every time in the one thing—that marry they would; they never could be parted again. She would die tf ee could not marry nim, and he would Jay down his life if he could nut have her, As three or four hours had been spent at the hotel, In 86 public a place that all could kuow what was going on, and as ‘Mey could arrive at but ie same result, the professor thought 1 vest te invite the Count to take tea at nis house, which he said would be ready in tairty minutes. The Count at once prepared to dress in a style suitable for the occasion. When his toilet was compieted he pre- sented an elegant appearance, and went joyluliy forth to join the family around the social poard. He went to the Tyierlan castle and sat side by side with his adored one. Both were so happy that they could eat not a moutbiul, ANOTHER ROW. Alter a few moments spent in trivia) conversation Carrie leaned over to her mother, and, with the con- sciousness that one thing only was needed te com- plete her bliss, veg thata day might ve named for the marriage. This had been arranged between brother and sister for the grand acnoudment The iter, rising with wrepidation Ww her feet, exclaimed, ever, never, Carrie! You shall never marry that man so long as I live “Then Vil go away with him now,” responded Carrie, and her face sparkied with indignation as she threw herself into the open arnis of her lover. Such a scene as was then presented! Mr. Tyler, shocked at such an exuibition of independence before his own eyes, rushed around the tavie—so at least 1 am tnformed—and tore the girl away. Mrs. Lester screamed, and the Oount produced a fresh cigar. A moment's hubbub ended with the fainting of mater familtas and in Mr. Tyler throwing his niece on the oor and choking her to stide her cries for help. (Tunis part, po doubt, 1s an exaggeration.) Tae Count made a bold move toward her rescue, but was stopped by Mr. Tyler's caiis upon bis son to “Turn ham out! Turm the vagabond out ef the nar parentheses, that the son did net appear ve: tive Jn respouding to this but, shufling lis feet nervousiy together and muttering to Limself, remained quietly in his chair.) The Count smiled at the turn which affairs had taken, and coolly asked the boy lor alight for his cigar. This given, he Cre | touk himseif away to jus betel. There he retatied the story to an autir- ing crowd of listeners, Coucluding it with the remark Ual— “That bloody Tyler told that long boy with the book under wis arm to putme out, but by — he didn’t try.” FAINT BODY BUT NOT FAINT HEART. Other conversuuon ensued until the Count, whose forts at self-contro! had evidenuy Wied us physi capacities to the utmost, falated dead away. So absolutely prostrating was his weakness that he Gida’t recover for tweaty miputes, or until alter he had been undressed and put to bed. There he re- mained, Moaniug in a distressing manner for hours, At eleven o'clock (night) he Was visited by tke ser- Vaut Mary, before alluded to, who brougut the fol- jowing nove: — ENING, Feb. 3.

PiXnd there the matter hangs, according to the story of those who favor the claims of the prospec- luve bridegroom. There 18 ANOTHER SIDE, however, which purports to come from the ‘pe ot Professor Seelye a8 an intimate friend of Dr. ‘Tyler. He contradicts many of the statements in the fore- going report, saying, among other things, that the fortune of Miss Lester, combined with that of her motner, only amounts to $80,000; that the telegram published in another column was addressed to tbe servant, Mary, instead of “to Miss Lester,” and that the Count, wealthy as he represented himself to be, was obiiged to buy A NEW SHIRT here before he could make himself presentable at Dr. Tyler’s house.

The cause of this com: motion was the arrival in town, on Friday morning iast, of @ Russian calling himself Count’ Von Muscovitch, who took Up bis quarters at the Awherst House, It soon became noised about that a live Count was in town, and the object of bis coming was soon known in every biore, ollice aud private dwelling, and+became the principal’ topic of Conversation, {his titted personage tol his story sbout a8 fo the year 18¢4, wille serving on the siafl of the Roasian Embusey at Washington, he ssw and ioved at sight & young lady, niece of Professor W. 8.

As to the mar- Tiage of the parties, it was agreed by them both, in the pre- sence of witnesses’ not connected with the family, that it should not take place for a year. This story 18 undersiood to be the expression of Prefessor Tyler's opiaion in the matter, and toe foliowmg paragraph, which appeared in the Spring- fled Kepubuican of Wednesday, 18 stated to have been written by bis own peu:—The real story is simply tits:—A Poligh-Russian, pretending to’ be Count Mickiewicz, but who Is no count, though of a respectable lamily, came to know of Miss Caroline Lester, daughter of a lately deceased banker in Rovenester, aud niece of Professor Tyler, of Amherst College, and her probable wealth, and, taking pas- sage witn ner and her motuer irom France last May, won her love while on the voyage to this country. Her iriends objected to tne alliance; their investiga- tions proved that he had led a live of desperate piea- sure tor many years, and was propably a mere ad- veuturer, seeking the American wife for her money; and he returned to Europe, still holding her heart, but not gaining her hand. A [few days ago he came back, appeared in Amherst, and claimed What she was ready to grant him—a wue and a fortune. He was treated honorably and re- spectfully by herariends; but their objections to tne union were so serivus that, thougn the young lady is greatly infatuated with him, aud won't give nim up, she has consented to wail a year befere marry- ing, and be meantime isto retura to Europe and undertake Co prove his pretensions, and to show that he is more worthy of her than he is supposea tobe, ‘The professor, uncle, her mother, the young lady ana the pretended Count together went to New York, ou Monday, to start him off on this somewhat douvliul voyage of discovery and regeueration.” IN CONCLUSION it may be stated that the above account comprises all the facts which I have veen able to learn about the matter, and is believed to be a fair presentation of both sides of the case. During the Count’s ab- sence in Europe it is known that the young lady will reside with her mother and guardian, and be allowed freely to correspond with her aManced lover. ‘The Count’s brandy bottle is labelled ‘*Forty drops every fifteen minuies unth you arive dull care away,” Miss Lester reads French novels to pass the time away.

PHILADELPHIA, Feb, 10, 1871. Probably the greatest exhibition of “nerve” ever witnessed im America was shown by one “Curly” Harris, a notorious rough and thief of this city, about two e’clock this morning, in his escape from General St. Clair Mulholland and three detectives, on the Pennsylvania Central Rauroad, near the station knowa as ‘Bird in Hand,’ a small place on the line of the above road. 1t will be remembered that the HERALD pubilshed, about two months since, an account of the conviction and sentence to sixteen years’ imprisonment of Jimmy Elliott and his pal for assault and battery on Hugh Dougherty and shooting a night watchman. One of the par- ties engaged in the assault was this same Harris, but he has been at large since that time and made out to evade all efforts to arrest bim, The Bulletin of yesterday contained the following item:— A SHARP GAME FRUSTRATED.

He fs ch: with assault and battery on Hugh Dougherty, with wtentto Lill, and with the larceny of the watch of Dougherty. ‘The alfair, it will be remembered, oc- curred at a tavern on Ninth street, above Chestnat, in’ De- ember lust, On the same evening policeman Murphy was shut at Siath and Market streets, and Harris is also charged with complicity in that crime. When Harris was arrested esterday the Mayor of Pittsburg tel hed to Mayor Fox IoKnow whether be wanted the prisoner, His reply’ was “Yes, hold him by ail means, until J send anoilicer.” Hari thongbt to play a sbarp game. ‘There was no charge against fi him in Pittspurg, and no requisition upon which to hold him on the Philadelphia charge. le secured the ser- 1 f lawyer, who at k out a writ of hal as oor} returnable this mornin; of pus, ig, at nine o’c.ock. In the regular course of the running af the trains this time was before any officer from Patiadelphia could hove reached Pittsburg. Mayor Fox was notitied of the state of aifairs and at once tgok measures to circumvent the sharp dodge of Harris, He “sent Chief Mulholland and auother officer to Pittsburg, ‘They left lastnight in the rej lar train and proceeded to Altoona. Then they got alocomo- tive, which was placed at their service by the oificers of the Pennsylvania Railroud Company, and rusned with great speed towards their destination. “At the depot in Pittsburg was a cari wided by the Mayor of that city. Into this Uitef Mulnoland and bie officer catered, and they reached the court room just as the case was culled. ‘The necessary papera were presented, and the Court dismissed the habeas Corpus and remanded the prisoner to the custody of the Philadelphia olicers. Harris is now on his way to this city. ‘This morning the city papers contained complimen- tary notices of General Mulhollanc’s zeal, which was, of course, very nice, and probably very fatter- ing to General Mulholland; for no one will deny that the General manifested a zeal in the perform- ance of his duties that any one might well inmtate; but the “best laid plans of mice and men aft gang aglee,” and, as the sequel will show, this was one of the plans that Burns refers to. Having been handed over to Chief Mulholland py the vittsburg authorities, Harris and his captors started on their return tip to Philadelphia. Deiec- tves Gordon, McUarty and MeNutt took alternate charge of the prisoner, and Mulholland proceeded to seck in slumber a much needed rest for mind and body, and to dream of a tnumphal entry ito Philadelphia with his prisoner, while a@ joyful pulation should Tecetve him with epen arms, and with their smuies and thanks repay him fer the terrible ordeal through which he had passed; and it 1s possible that the credit would be the greater, as the beat efforts of his hirelit have uot, up to this time, brought to brief any one of the Iennng- ton Bank robbers; neitner has Keakirt, the forger, been by them induced to put in an appear- ance. “If the police nave lost prestige lately, 1, thelr chiet, have regained it.” Wita sucao pleasant visions the fleeting hours were whiled away, and finally Generat Mulholiand awoke to hear Harris ask McCarty to allow Lim to retire tor a moment. McCarty assented, The Culef noticed that Harris waiked rather fast, and advised McCarty to look out for him. “All right, sir; ll do it,’* sa'd McCarty, and started after ‘-Curly,” but, alas, toolate ! Hand. cuffed as he was, the desperado opened the car door and rushed out on the platform, and with the train rushing along at thirty miles an hour sprung to the ground, striking in the centre of the up track among the broken scone that is used for batlast on this road, Mulholland pulled the bell cord, but the train had eped on for a mile before it stopped. The conductor had the train backed up, but to no pur- pose: instead of a dead man mangled and crashed to pieces they found nothiag out McCarty’s hat, which blew off when he rushed to the platiorm to stop “Curly.” They scoured the adjacent country, but t no purpose. Harris had disappeared as effectually 28 1f he had been received into the bowels of the earth. Special policemen and the three detectives are now engaged searching the neighborhood. It does not seem possible that Hurris can go far with lis handcuffs on, and how he got off withoat injury isa miracle. I inclive to the opinion that he crawied in under the car when the train backed up, and stowed himself away en the truck an’) put his par- suers off the scent by riding to the suburos of Phila- delphia. Arrived at tis place, the rest was easy enough. SKATING. Grand Carnival at the Capitoline Lake. At the Capiioline Lake, on Tuesday next, there will be a gala time. The proceedings will open with @ grand procession on the ice, headed by a band of music. The procession will form with a lead of ten horses, the riders to be dressed in fancy costume.
