G;r,sey Feat,

We find in the Washitoton Republic the
following account OF a Gypsy VII; mucted
Captain Robert Perry Of 81 GOO, under the
f,llowing circumstances. The Gipsey told
Capt. Perry she would disclose to him
treasure OF great value on his farm, provided
he would show to her $1,000 good money,
which was done.
The money was counted. placed in shot
bag, enveloped in brown paper and again
wrapped in cotton cloth, and was placed in
trunk; which was locked, and the key TAX
en by Perry In three days the gp<ey re-
turned, and she and Perry had an interview
alone. The trunl, WAS opened End the
bundle was found exactly as it had been
placed. lie was required then to 60 upon
his knees, in order that her ncantations per-
formed over the trunk and money might
have their full effect While so engaged,
her cloak fell upon the trunk, but she quick
lv replaced it on her shoulders. The mys-
terious proceedings being over, Perry VS.
called to examine the trunk, and found i; all
righj; he relocieI it, and pocketed the KEY.
He was now told that the work was done,
and that on thc,ninth day she would return,
and ii the money. &c, in the trunk were all
right, she would be at liberty to point out to
INN the exact locatiun OF the treasure on his
farm. Tia: ii she were detained Iy SEX
ness or iher cause he was to open the trunk
himself, and would fEd the necessary in
atructions.
Last Monday he unlocked it, took cut the
bundle, removed the various Wrapping, and
found >hot-bag which he hastily opened,
and tound-scme two hundred coppers and
few leaves of tobacco,
Capt. =. pursued the 9 pseys to Washing

a resort Of theirs, and made search, and
tied up in handkerchieas, rags, in lin kettles,
boxes. &c +, the tficers found large quantities
of gold and silver coin amounting. it Is said
to at least $4,000. Captain Perry could
identity none Of his money-the greater por-
ton of it having been in bills of Baltimore
banks-nor could he identify either of the
women here as the woman who had promised
him the treasure. Since then, with the aid
