the other was the man with the diamond ring.
In another minute the lady discovered that
her pocket book was gone. In that moment
the two men had disappeared from view.
The lady informed the conductor that she
had been robbed, but he could do nothing, and
the other passengers had nothing to offer but
coincidence. As the portmonnae contained
but seven dollars and a half, the lady did not
care about gratifying their curiosity by further
explanation. Alighting at her destination,
the lady CHANGING to take her handkerchief
from her pocket-the one from which the
pocket book had been taken-heard some
thing drop upon the floor. 1t was a resplen-
dent diamond ring She recognized it at
first glance. 1t was the very ring worn by
the individual in stunning plaid who had rid
den beside her. He had undoubtedly stolen
her pocket book, but in doing so his ring had
been drawn off and remained in the lady's
pocket.
The lady, after asking advice, took the ring
to Chestnut street jeweler, who gave for it
his check for $500. The net profit made by
the lady on her ride was $493 As the precise
sum, barring five cents, lost by the plaid gen.
tleman in the satin beaver tile. On Monday,
the lady, walking past Eighth and Chestnut
streets, met the individual in plaid. He
flushed crimson at her glance, recognizing
her on the instant. She smiled serenely, and
he skunk away. Whether he knew that his
ring had passed into possession of the lady,
is more than we know; but snowy woman,
in tremendous crinoline, supposed to be a

of the railroad company, hunting the lost

SUB MARINE OPERATIONS AT WATCH HILL.
A company from Boston have been in our
vicinity for two or three weeks past, waiting
an opportunity to examine the remains of the
schooner Eben Sawyer, from New Bedford,
bound for New York, with a valuable cargo
of sperm oil, yellow metal &c., recently
wrecked upon Watch Hill reef. Most of the
oil was saved at the time. The weather
proved unfavorable until one day last week,
when the operator made his first examination
of the premises. In about two hours time he
discovered the remains of three distinct old
wrecks, lying in about ~ feet of water, in
large basin beyond the ledge, forming an eddy
where the water was unaffected by the strong
tidal currents in that vicinity. One of these
were the remains of the IT, S. schooner Re-
venge, Oliver Ii. Perry, commander, wrecked
on her passage from Newport to New London,
more than fifty years ago, the copper still re-
naming upon her bottom.
Another, a vessel wrecked eleven years
since, laden with oil carpetings and cotton
goods. Several bales of striped shirtings, be-
longing to her cargo, were, however, now dis
covered there, mostly In a sound state. One
OF these bales, the operator describes as hav-
ing been in slightly rolling position, SO. that
during the past eleven years, the corners of
one end of the bale were worn away, forming
nearly an angle at that end. The cloth
strange as it may scents represented to be
perfectly strong; if so, there will be no loss
upon that investment, as the value has nearly
quadrupled. A third was described as the
wreck of very large vessel, four times the
size of the two former; her timbers measur-
ing fourteen inches square. There seems to
be no knowledge of this lost vessel existing in
the neighborhood. These three wrecks are
within fifty feet of each other, in still water,
upon a sandy bottom, and will probably lead
to some interesting discoveries during the fu-
ture operations of the diver.
On Sunday la second descent was made,
and this time the wreck of the Eben Sawyer,
especially sought for, was discovered, and the
first results have been the raising of seven
cases of yellow metal, valued at twelve hun
dred dollars. A large portion of the oil was
saved Immediately after the accident, but
there still remains about $4,000 worth of metal
which will probably be shortly retrieved.
The operators receive half the proceeds of
cargo recovered, as salvage, the whole of
which must otherwise have been abandoned.
We presume no claims will be made of treas
ure-trove from its more ancient wrecks.

Green street passenger car to ride from Broad

On her right was a gentlemanlike person in

The plaid of his trousers was rather extern
sive, his legs resembling sections of green
house window. HIS coat was of the material
known as chinchilla cloth, while his hat, a
satin beaver, was an article of painful bril-

his right hand.
