The SHARP GIPsEY AND THE FOOLISH
FARMER-Robbery in BelcbetoUn.-About a
month ago family of strolling gipseys, con
sisting of man, woman, and child, with a
horse and wagon, pretending to hail from
egypt" came to Belchertown and remained
around there several days, picking up preca
rious subsistence, telling fortunes, &c. The
woman seemed to be the general manager of
affairs. After they had been there few days,
the woman went to the house of Elijah Clark,
a farmer living about two miles out Of the viii
lage, and who probably didn't take the papers,
and informed him that there was money buried
on the farm, and she was possessed OF power
to discover it, and that it was necessary for
them to have $1,000 before she could do any
thing. Mr.. Clark fell into the trap, but he
could only raise $780, The Egyptian priest
esS finally concluded that she could find it if
they had $500. She did not want the money,
but they must have it on hand and keep it.
After seeing the money was all right, the
prestess left to go and consult the planets.
She returned two or three times on different
DAYS, announcing at each time that matters
were progressing favorably, and that after see
ing the money was all safe and right and per-
forming over it certain mystic ceremonies and
incautations, would depart to again consult the
planets. The last time she came there, after
seeing that the package of money was safe,
she took it and performed the ceremony of
making crosses and lines with itup and around
the person of Mrs. Clark, at the close of which
she handed tho package back, and told them
to keep it safe by locking it up in trunk, and
not disturb or look at it for two weeks, or the
"spell' would be broken. She then left for a
fourth consultation of the planets. Probably
the planets have not been propitious for the
Eovntian nriestess has not vet returned. AZ
ter the two weeks had expired, Mr.. AMI Mrs.
Clark thought best to see the money, but on
examining the package found it very nice
imitation of the original minus the $500,
which the priestess had very adroitly substi,
tuted when performing the last grand ineanta-
ton, and Mr.. Clark has PROBABLY come to the
sage conclusion that there is not quite so much
money ON his farm now as there was month
ago.

Hon. A H Stephens on the STUMP for Douglas.

AUGUSTA, GA, Sept Hon. Alexander
ii. Stephens made a speech to-day in favor
of Douglas and johnson, and the the doctrine
of non-intervention. He defended Douglas
against the charge that he would not yield to
the decision of the supreme court, and asserted
that the supreme court had not decided how
FAR territorial Legislature might constitutions
ally regulate the institution OF slavery within
Its borders The position of Douglas was one
OF perfect equality between the states with
respect to the rights Of persons and property.
He differed with Douglas on the point that
territorial legislature might exclude slavery,
but 1t was matter of no vital Importance,
because, if majority of the people of terri
tory opposed slavery, it would not go there.
He saw no injury 10 the south resulting from
it. He believed slavery would go to the extent
OF capacity for it, and no laws of congress
or territorial Legislature can extend it further
He concluded by speaking Of the Importance
OF preserving the Union, and did not regard
Breckenridge as dsunonst but his running
endangers the Union, and said he had no
chance of an election by the people,
