streets in pursuit of employment as for
tune teller. She told several fortunes, but
none so effectually as one to an old lady in
the upper part of the town. Visiting this
old woman she proposed 10 tell her fortune,
which was acceeded TO with the following
results. Not in marrying mood, the cards
were not cut for courtship but business
The old lady was grocer, and had many
debts outstanding, upon the collection OF
which her heart had been fixed. "Shall |
ever collect them?' was the question the
fortune teller had to determine. To solve
this question there must be private room

which consisted Of $135 in gold, carefully

return it to your chest, let 1t lay untouch-
ed for ten days-after which time you will
find your creditors coming in, and every
cent die will be speedily collected" Fully
impressed with its truth, the old woman did
as instructed. But the next day her sus-
picions being awakened by friend she
thought she would look at her money and
see that all was right, when 10 and be-

FROM THE PLAINS For three weeks past the
news received from tho overland immigration has
been very indefinite, giving idea of the condition
of affairs on the plains. IL is prcsumable from this
that nothing extraordinary has taken place, other
wise we should have received more complete &C.
counts IL is generally believed that there will not
be great amount of distress among the emgrants
this season, and certainly thus far this belief has
been realized, We learn from q gentleman who has
come through from Salt Lake since the 10th of Au-
