SINGULAR ADVENTURE OF A
FRENCH THIEVING LADY
IN PARIS

During the evening of the 9th of Septem-
Der, carriage crew up before the house of
DR.. Gulnnet7 , renowned physician IN the
Rue Richtslie1, IN Paris. A well dressed and
delicate locking lady aIighted. and was ush-
cred into The D1ctor's study, she having ex-
pressed desire to consult him. Scarcely
had she sat d0wn, when she complained OF
great DARKNESS and Immediately after fell
from the chair On the floor, iAxiolent convui-
sions. Deetos tulimet was quite taken aback.
but seeing her distress, he called for aid and
applied several testoratives, without, howev-
CT, producing any effect After short con-
sultatlon 'Slta his wife, he paid the c-b-man
who had brought the lady, had her taken TO
room and pat g bed. The whole appearance
OF his strange visitor, bespoke her most res
pectable. and the worthy doctor with his spouse
enjoyed the comforts Of having done a good
work, winch thay meant to follow up by a
prompt attendance on the sufferer. Towards
nightfalI she seemed to rally a little; the con-
vuIsIons gave wly to lethargy, so as again
TO prevent the Dlct0r from seeing who she
was. At o'clock she suddenly awoke, and
anxiously enquued where she was, and what
had happened, After icing duly informed of
the severity Of the attack, she told her host
that she had been long subject to fits of that
kind, and had come to Paris for the express
purpose Of consulting him about them. The
symptoms she acquainted him with were
weakness before the attack, followed by I'M
consciousness aud long uninterrupted sleep.
Doctor Gulimet requested her to abstain from
further speaking till the morning, and asked
her if she would partake Of something before
going to sleep. 70 which she replied that
glass of hot punch would be the very thing
to do her good. This being brought, the Sa-
marian doctor sought his couch, and soon a
deep silence reigned throughout the house.
There IS every probability that the mem
beFs Of the Doctors family and household en-
i0yed good, prlfound sleep during the night
IN question, Il east there Is no evidence 10
show that any one heard or saw the feats
which their spqssmodc visitor performed in
that brief peTIak. However, when the de-
scendant If Gslhn entered the ladv's bed
chamber on the following morning, he found
X empty. and looked with blank dismav at
window and chi nGey, wondering what the
deuce could have become of her. It appears
that he neFe- became enlightened on this
question, although he very soon found from
where the bird had escaped. viz from front
window on the g-0und floor, whence friend
~ hand must have assisted her to descend
Some articles OF very great value also disap-
Peared during aztmem0ra5Ie night. and prob
ably found ti1eir way through the front win

jugs, spoons f1rszs, and abo~e all 4 valuable

hun TO beat \ nasty retreat, that he might not

has since been heHrd from the fair invalid. and
