A Sheriff Dreaming to Some Purpose.

The Highland Eagle, (Westchester county, &.
w. relates The following curious story - 0Dome
A few days since, Mr.. George #. Sherman, of
Cold Spring, while on his way home from his
place of business, missed his pocket book, con-
tanning about 1872 in bank bills, and number
of drafts, notes and valuable papers. Whether
it was dropped from his pocket aecidentlya or fel
oniously abstracted therefrom, MIR. S. was not
able to determine. p The fact was communicated
to Daniel ID ykeman, Deputy Sheriff of Putnam
county. He dreamed that night that the money
in possession of Geo McNary, clerk in the hard
ware store of Messrs- ii. s Z. Pelton. that part
oft fastened in the inner lining of his vest,
and part in the crown Of his cap, and that
among the bills ten dollar note on the Put
nam County Bank, Mr.. Dykeman conmunica-
ted this singular dream, they kept an eye upon
McNary, and on Saturday night last, as he was
on his way to the, cars, with the intention of
leaving the place was arrested.
On Searching him the money to the amount of
1923 was found as indicated in Dykeman's
dream, and the SO note was especially recogni-
zed McNary confessed that ke found the pock-
et-book in his employers store while making
fire early on the morning ofthe DIST ,ilt that he
slipped out the package of bills and flung the wall
let, with whatever ii contained, into stove,
and it was consumed by the flames. Having
disbursed part of the money, he promised the
Sheriff that he would restore the balance il they
would take him TO a relation of his in Orange
county. He was conveyed to the place pointed
out, and was permitted to enter the house, unac-
companied by the officer, thro' which he escaped
and was not perceived until over half a mile in
the distance. Dykeman pursued him about six
miles when darkness coming on, the felon plum
ged into swamp and was hid from view, In his
yalise was found valuable patent spring trunk
lock, and some other things taken from the hard
ware store ofMessrs. f. & il. Pelton.

years since, says the New York Journal of Com

were largely enlisted in behalf OF the Greeks and
Poles. Both it was feared would be crouched-

Yielding to inTincible numbers, Poland fell. Her
existence as a nation was blottcd out; her wealth

compounded for freedom. Part of her inhabi-

- Quite an amusing affair came off at one OF our
fashionable hotels few days since. dashng
yeung merchant, who had long been resident OF
the hotel and who is noted for his whole souled
hospitality, had been teased for some weeks by
number of female acquaintance to give an oyster
supper to his friends of both sexes. lie did not
relish the idea much, particularly as he believed
it was with the oysters and not him that the la
dies were so overly anxious to spend the evening
He at last, however, consented TO give the tete,
resolving in his own mind to test the friendship
of his guests r-r.--.-.-..r1 a
He is one Of those dashing fellows who never
do things by halves, and as soon as his decision
was known, there was no little anxiety among
his female acquantances to receive btaet do"T,
or in more common parlance, :" an invite to the
zanaango." ''Dick," for that is the familiar
name by which he is known invited about forty
couples and made every arrangement to do the
thing up brown The largest parlors, and most
extensive hall in the house were engaged express
sly for the occasion. Those who were invited con-
sdered themselves particularly fortunate, and
Dicks oyster supper was for many days the man

The evening came. Carriage, after carriage,
.eouipage after equipage, drove up TO the prlyaSe
entrance of the B. Hotel, and enptied at the
door precious loads of silks and standing collars
diamonds and kids, laces and goatess, braeea up
beaux and powdered bells. Dick was at his post
and received his guests with all the polteness OF

so anxious were the ladies to partake of Dick s
oysters, and the gents to accommodate the Ia

The parlors were brilliantly illuminated, and
at a given signal delicious music from choice

on the morning of the Goth of March, all Paris

Curious HIsToRIcAL FACT.-During the trou-
bles in the reign of Charles country girl came
to London in search of place as a servant maid,
but not succeeding, she hired herself to carry
out beer from warehouse, and was one OF those
called tub-women. The brewer observing good
looking girl in this low occupation, took her INTO
his family as servant, and after short time
married her. He died while she was yet young
woman and left her the bulk of his fortune
The business of brewing dropped, and MIR. Hide
was recommended to the young woman as a
skillful lawyer to arrange her husbands affairs.
HIDE who was afterwards Earl of Clarendon, nm
ding the widows fortune considerable, married
her BY this marriage, there was no other issue
than daughter, who was afterwards the wife o

would appear in the second course, some who had
almost starved themselves to give the oysters
room, called for cracker or bit of cheese
Dick ate heartily, and having satisfied his appe

indulge in his magnificent repast, he invited them
again to the parlors to resume the merry dance.
But the services of musicians were no longer

with dreadful headache, others announced that
they were suffering bad colds, and others again
were very much fatigued. In fact, finding that
no oysters were to be had, the ladies soon excu-
