TRUTH STRANGER THAN FICTION

A widow lady advanced in life, now a
resident of the city Of Philadelphia, can
tell with Truth the following story, show
ing what strange coincidents the current
of events will sometimes bring to il ht
The lady owns real estate in Michigan,
and the following facts were given to US
by her attorney who learned them from
her own lips. This lady was horn and
brought up in the State of New Jersey,
and upon being married removed to Mich
igan, and settled in the county Of Mon
roe. There her husband built house,
improved land, and they struggled on to-
gether, as many young couple has done,
before and behind. Upon that farm this
lady buried her first born child and .
few years after, her husband died, and
was buried there. After his death she
sold out everything. and removed witt
her two sons back to New Jersey, where
one Of her sons died from the effects Of
a fall received on the passage across Lake
Erie, on the way home. The other re-
moved to Philadelphia with his mCthei,
acquired property in Michigan for farm,
of which he took deed without knowing
the situation or the character OF the
property. While preparing to return to
Philadelphia, he was taken sick and died
leaving his mother sole heir. The deed
of this property in Michigan came into
her hands, and after time she made
journey to visit it. Upon reaching the
place she found it to be the very home
stead which she and her husband had
built more than thirty years before, and
found in the wainscot her own initials,
cut by herself, years before. She now
is again the possessor of her early home
stead, the graves of her husband and
eldest child.-Detroa Adgertiser, Dec. 5.
FAsHIoNABLE FANS IN PARrs.-A
writer alluding to the perfect mania in

A STRANGE CUSTOMER.

Mr.. Charles Jerome, who was hunt
ing on East Rock on Friday, saw high
up in the branches of tree monster
bird, which he took for an eagle. 1t
seemed to be asleep, when he gave it the
contents of one barrel Of his gun, which
simply answered the purpose of opening
"a great saucer" pair Of eyes. He then
fired the other barrel, Of heavier shot.
which brought it to the ground. when it
proved to be a monster owl, of species
seldom, if ever, seen in these parts. Its
legs and belly are of a beautiful tan
color, its back dark brown, and its ears
uncoT monty long. 1t measured FIVE
feet from tip to tin. and had beautiful
set of claws. each fang more than an inch
in length. 1t weighed about ten pounds.

A GOLDEN sHR0UD.

In recent communication to the Ma
tional Lntelligeneer, Mr. Thomas Ewbank,
late Commissioner Of Patents, gives some
important information in regard to the
discoveries made in Peruvian tombs and
tumuli. The information is derived from
w. W: Evans, Esq, gentleman of
strong antiquarian predictions, and now
Engineer of the africa and Tacana Rail
rosi in Peru. Mr.. Evans states that in
making excavations for the railroad at
africa, hundreds of graves are demolish.
ed, in which are numerous Indian relics.
The excavations are seventy feet deep,
and as the soil is loose sand, as the work
proceeds, everything from the top comes
sliding down-dead Indians, pots, ket-
ties, arrow heads, &c. Among other
interesting mOrtuary relics, an Indian
was started out of his resting place,
rolled up in a shrOud Of gold. Before Mr..
Evans had knowledge of the incident,
the workmen had cut up the magnificent
winding sheet and divided it among
themselves. With some difficulty Mr..
Evans obtained afragment, and despatch
ed it to Mr. Ewbank Mr.. Evans notices
as a remarkable fact that in hundreds OF
Indian skulls which he has examined,
not one has contained decayed tooth.
Mr.. Ewbank thinks the weight of the
entire shroud must have been eight or
nine pounds, and had it been preserve !,
would have been the finest specimen Of
sheet gold that we have heard of since
the times of the Spanish conquest. In
some eloquent remarks upon the preser-
vaIion OF souvenirs of the departed, and
the futility of attempting TO secure the
great dead from contact with their ma
tive earth, Mr.. Ewbank says it is the
form or features, and not the body OF
substance of the dead that should be pre-
served. and adds
1.-The muInmies of Egypt are quarried
for fuel, and, whether those of the Pha-
raohs, their wives, their priests, or their
slaves, are split open and chopped up
with the same indifference as so many
pine logs. The gums and balsams used
in embalming them have made them q
good substitute for bituminous coal and
: thus the very means employed to pre-
serve them, have become the active
agents of their dissipation. So it is
!, when the materials of cofins have high
marked value; they are then seized as
concealed treasure, and their contents
cast out as rubbish. Like heroes in tie
Eastern hemisphere. the descendants oI
Nance and Capec were sometimes if not
always, entombed in such, and with con-
siderable treasure beside, in vessels ol
gold and silver hence we learn how the
Spanish conquerors sought for and, often
found, and as often plundered rich lncan
sepulchres."

TAKING COLDS, AND HOW TO
TREAT THEM.

How many premature deaths may be
traced directly to trihing indiscretiOn
and a slight cold neglected What long
spells of sickness and intense mental
sufferings have been brought on, which
can be attributed to carelessness And
now that the season Of chilling changes
of temperature is upon US, we deem 1t
important enough to copy the follow
ing observations. put forth by DIR. Hunt
in his work upon health, regarding the
manner of treating a cold. 1t may aP-
pear to some people that he requires too
much for "mere cold" But they
should recollect that unless that mere
cold is promptly attended 10, itmsy pro
gress in its stages until the combined
skill of all the physicians in the land will
be insufficient to prOlOng their stay on
earth. He says:
'Many useful life may be spared to
be increasingly useful, by cutting ccld
short off, in the following safe and SIM
pie manner. On the first day o. taking
cold, there is very unpleasant sensa-
ton of chillness. The moment You OBJ
serve this, go to your room and stay
there keep it at such temperature as
will prevent this chilly feeling, even if
it requires hundred degrees of Fahren-
heit. In addition put your feet in water,
half leg deep, as hot as you can bear it,
adding hotter water from time to time
for quarter of an hour, so that the wa
ter shall be hotter when you take your
feet out than when you put them in it !;
then dry them thoroughly, and put on
warm, thick woolen stockings, even if it
should be summer, for summer colds are
/. most dangerous; and for twenty-four
hours eat not an atom of food but drink
as largely as you desire of any kind Of
warm teas, and at the end of that time,
if not sooner, the cold viii be effectually
broken, without any medicine whatever.

RULES FOR DIGESTION.

/. Study to acquire a composure OF
mind and body; avoid agitation of one
or the other, especially, just before and
after meals, and whilst the process. is
going on. To this end, govern your
temper, endeavor to look at the brightside
of things. keep dcwn as much as possible
the unruly passions, discard envy, ha-
tired and malice, and lay your headuPon
the pillow in charity with all mankind--
Let not your wants outrun your means.
Whatever difficulties you nave to en-
counter, be not perrlexed, but only
think what is right to do in the sight of
Him who seeth all things, and bear with
out repining the result. When your
meals are solitary. let your thoughts be
cheerful. when they are social, whichis
better, avoid disputes or serious argu'
ment, or unpleasant topics. 'Unquiet
meals. says Shakespeare, make i'll di-
gestion;' and the contrary is produced
by easy conversation. pleasant project,
welcome news, or a lively companion.
