DUBLIN, Nov. 11.

Softie time ago, a circumstance took place which
made considerable noise in this city. A woMan
went into a grocer's -shop, and having purchased
some tea, &c. tendered a 100/. note for payment ;
the man, surprised at such a csum, said he could
not change that note, but if she had another he
would.' She then produced another note for 1001.
then another, and so on to seven- notes for 1001.
each. The man then, and aneighbour, questioned
her strictly and threatened her. She- then con-
fessed that she had-stolen them from a Gentleman
who visited her, and more of the same kind. The
man and his friend detained the 7001. and advised
her to runaway; but she conceiving they meant
to appropriate the money to their own. use, went
to the Chief Magistrate, and disclosed the circum-
stance, delivering up the remainder of the proper,
ty, which amounted in all to 10001. in 1001. notes
On Messrs. Ball, Plunket, and Moyne, bankers. The
grocer, his friend, and the woman were then all
confined, and the Magistrates published the circum-
stance, and called upon the- -owner to come and
claim his property at their office; but no one ap-
peared. The singularity of the circumstance oc-•
casioned a variety of conjectures ; some thought
the owner must be, at least, the yoang heir of a
dukedom—others, that he was some character
high in the church, and ashamed to come for-
ward. In the mean time, the Magistrates were
obliged to re:ease toe woman, who expreyed a
strong desire to restore the property, when she
found it was to such amount, hoping •he would
not prosecute, tut prof: ably give her her some re-
ward. 01 course many conjectures were afloat,
and numbers believed that the woman must
have murdered the person from whom she had ,
taken the property. Time passed away, and
the circumstance was beginning to he forgot, •
wilen a young man, clerk to Ball, Plunket, and
and Co. bankers, accidentally entered the bar room
of a public house; the woman, who happened to be
there at the same time, immediately cried out "that
is the person from whom I took the notes." He
was immediately detained by the people present,
and untiCe sent to the .Magistrates, and to the
bankers; but before they arrived he found means
to escape. • An inyestigation took place at the
Bank, and it was found that he had taken, from
time to time; n tes to the amount of 10,0001. A
reward was ctiered, and he was taken, just ready
to ciuit the kingdom. In one of his hoots were
concealed 7,5001. in notes, and his securities are
answerable for 2,50i)1. which makes up the sum
of which he defrauded the bank. Ile is now lodg-
ed in Kilmamhata jail, to iibide his trial.

Sunbury (Pa.), Sept. 4.

A NEW CASE.—On Sunday last a man by the
name of Walton, from Luzerne.County, entered
the court-house of this town, took a seat at the
council table, produced shaving apparatus, and was
about commencing the operation of shaving his
beard (which had not been taken off for upwards
of three years, and was nearly a foot in length.)
His strange conduct and appearance attracted the
attention of the Court-and every person present
The Court, to prevent interruption, ordered the
man to be taken away. He resisted, and was at
length indulged by the Court. He said he had
been commanded by his" Maker to do it on that
very day, in presence of the Court, and with
same razor which he produced. Warm water was
provided, and he soon disencumbered himself of
his heard—put up his shaving utensils, thanked;the
Court for their indulgence, and walked off, seem-
ingly pleased.—(New York Paver)
