Orange township, in the Southwestern
corner Of Hancock county, Ohio, joining
Hardin on the North west, some tive miles
from Johnstown, in this county, has re-
Gently been made the favored locality OF one
of those remarkable visitations which the
people have learnedto regard as very slew
and far between, an Angels visit. Some
time in August last, a. bright and intelii-
4 gent little girl, aged eve years, the dangh-
ter of Mr., Charles, who resides in the To-
cality described, while playing near the
we'll in the yard, about noon OF the day.
seemed to discern something high up IN
the air, and descending toward her. Inc
attention of the child was so much drawn
to the object that her gaze became rlveted
upon it., and as it drew nearer, she was
observed to make frequent attempts 10
reach il with her hands, and form closer
acquaintance with the strange visitant.
/ When the mother of the child was called
to the scene, the little girl informed her
that she was in the presence of an Angel;
that she had talked with it; that 1t had
made communications to her; and further
more. gave a description Of it, accordingly,
IN every particular with the geneially re-
ceived impression OF the appearances c'

wings, returned Heavenward. when the

:, and the mothers sadness was made deeper
