CURIOUS CIRcUMsTANCE-Amongt the many
interesting incidents associated with the burn
ing of Royalton and the capture of it's inhab-
itants by the Indians in $780, the following of
comparatively recent development is not the
least curious
"Ihe Lost and Found Ring-A few years
ago, two old acquaintances CHANGED to meet
and fall into conversation under large tree
on the bank of the White River, near the spot
where the Indians forded their captives on
their way to Canada when, during the con-
versation, one of them, while listlessly beating
the earth about at the roots of the tree, threw
out a circular substance, which, when the en-
casing dirt was removed proved to be q mas
sive gold ring of antique workmanship. Va
rious were the speculations of course, which
took place between the two friends respecting
the original ownership and loss of the ring;
but nothing was ascertained about it till some
months afterwards, when the finder made
journey to one of the old towns near the sea-
board, from which some of the early settlers of
Royalton had emigrated Here, calling on
family with whom he had some business, in the
dusk of the evening, and something in the
course of the conversation reminded him of the
ring which he had on his finger. He related
the singular incident of his finding it under
tree on White River in Vermont when an old
lady of nearly ninety years, who had been sit
ting in silence in an obscure corner of the
room, sprang up, and, coming forward request
ed him to tell that story again. He did SO, and
the old lady ut once identified the ring as her
own She, when a girl, was one of the female
Canada, from whence she was ransomed and
taken back to her relatives in the old settle
ment. When taken, she had this ring on her
finger, and fearing it would attract the atten-
tion of the savages, and perhaps endanger her
life, she took it off and cast it down at the
roots of the tree where it was found. We be-
lieve it was a betrothal ring; but what ro-
nance in real life, if any, grew out of the loss,
we are not apprized-permont Chronicle.
The KossuTn FUND. The Williamsburg (N.Y.)
"Press says: "We are apprehensive, from what
we can hear, that the voluntary tax of 81, which
was proposed to be levied on our citizens as
contribution to the Kossuth or Hungarian fund.-
does not yield as much revenue as the originators
of the idea hoped and expected. We hope, for
the sake and honor of Williamsburg, that, after
the address which was transmitted to the Magyar
leader, promising in the name Of our citizens
such material aid to his cause, the thing will
not be suffered to fzzle OUT"
LADIES, BEwARE!-A lady at Lafayette, Mis-
souri,, came to her death, on the 2lst ultimo, by
falling on tobacco-pipe she was smoking, the
stem of which was forced clear through her neck
The pipe was the instrument of death, but the
enervating effects of the tobacco smoke very likely
made her fall
