A FRENcH SENSATION The French
journals are telling story of poor wo-
nan, who, while watching flock of sheep
near Lyons was caught in violent storm
and took refuge under tree. A short
time after branch was torn from the
trunk by the wind and fell at her feet
accompanied by number of pieces of
gold. Looking up in establishment she
saw hole in the trunk whence the
branch had been torn, and putting her
hand into il found further lot of gold
pieces, amounting together to about TWEEN
Nv thousand francs. The news of this
discovery spread rapidly in the village,
and every one was lost in conjecture as
10 where the money could have come
from. Al length some Of the ancients
folved the enigma by stating that about
thirty years ago, rich landed proprietor
residing in the neighborhood had been
murdered by his servant and robbed of
large sum of money which he was
known 10 have had in his possession.
The servant was tried and executed, but
he would never confess where he had
concealed the treasure. By the lucky
discovery the woman is raised from pow
erty TO wealth.

WOODWARD ON THE WING.--A few days

the loyal people of some Of the southern
counties. Woodward, however, got
wind of the movement, and, true TO his
nature, made a precipitate fight. He
was pursued TO GAINESVILLE and beyond
the Cumberland toward Charlotte, Dixon
county, Tenn.
