INTERESTING INCIDENT.—The Gloucestershire Caro.
nide says—A strange circumstance has been communi-
cated to us as having lately been revealed in an ancient
borough near this city. Several years ago, a young
man, the son of respectable parents, left home, and as
months and years passed away, and nothing was heard
of him, his father and mother mourned him as dead.'
Occasionally, however, a beam of hope would flash across
their minds that one day the wanderer would return ;
and many a toil-worn wayfarer received relief at their
hands, with the hope that should their son be still
alive, and in distress, some one might be found to
minister to his necessities. A few years ago the
father died, and a stone was placed on his grave, on
which the death of the son was inscribed in addition to
that of the father. One day this week, however, the
aged mother received a letter from, her son, wribtos,
about two months ago, and stating that he had amass.d
a considerable foi tune in the new world of enterprise at
the antipodev, and that he hoped, in the course of a few
weeks at the furthest, to revisit his native town, when
he would pbur oue•half his wealth into the-lap-of hit
mother for the gratification of ono? more seeing her.
