EXTRAORDINARY CIRCUMSTANCE.—A few nights since
Mr. Knowsley, a tailor, of Exeter, had a railway rug
stolen from his shop. On the following night it was
brought back by a man, accompanied with the follow-
ing note written in a bad hand :—" Sir,—Since i took
the o: se cloath i have bin told how you was a verry kind
gentleman and belong to the strangers frend socity
konsequently i cant rest til i have send en back agane
and hope you will kindly forgive your umbil servant."
It appears that Mr. knowsley has lately been relieving
sores men out of employ, and this fact seems to have
come to the knowledge of the writer of the above.
