piety But at an earlier period he combined,
with a general reverence for religion habits

of soldier life, and the union of the two was
an occasion of great embarrassment to
friends, as in the following incident, related
by Mr.. Parton "A little scene that occurred

SNGULAR.-ComiDg back to our office after
a bris! absaoce Saturday, we found a most
singular object lying upon our table. twas
oval in shape, measuring two inches and a
half IN It's shortest diameter, and three inches
and fve-eighths in its longest; composed ex-
ternally Of a calcareous substance of dirty
white color, smooth, with the exception of
few wrinklts at one end; and very much
resembling, in fact, huge egg. A very
curious fact about it is, that on it may be
distinctly traced, in faint black lines, the
following words " See what comes of being
sound on the goose.
How it came on our table, we cannot say.
The window was partially open, but hardly
enough to have admitted bird large enough
to have laid such an egg, if egg it is, and we
have not yet learned that any one has seen
either a roc or a phoenix about town. The
object may be seen at our Office AMI if Dew
ey, or any man who is familiar with such
4" fruit" can explain the phenomenon. We
trust he will.
