We have an old cory Of the Ncr London
GoEeite dated June u 1856, from which we
take the following singular story .--
A London paper u the l2M Of Jaanaty
last has The Jolo'cing paidgrdph:--
A singular circumstance that is taid 10
have happened very lately, has been seat to
us with assurances OF its authenticity; The
housekeeper OF nobleman absent from town,
received letter brought TO her by common
potter, proiessedy written by her master in
which she was desired TO prepare for his recap
ton on u certain day, aud u procure all his
plate from the bankers, where II had been de.
posted for security, while the family was
from home AS the letter had no post mark
to show that It came 10 the country, aud as
she entertained some suspicion Of the hand
writing, the woman very prudtuty went TO
consult her masters brother upon what con.
duct she should adopt This gentleman, on
inspecting The letter, WAS firmly convinced it
was his brothers writing, and advised her to
make the necessary arrangements against his
arrival Still, however, her doubts we're not
removed and she went to the bankers rather
to receive his opinion than to order the deliN-
cry OF the plate. But the banker was so
fully persuaded that the letter came from her
master that she desired the plate might be sent
home where she went with the intention to
get everything ready TO receive him. How
ever, for security against any possible dan
ger, she requested the butcher to the family
TO suffer one of his men to sleep in the house
till her masters return, which was expected
the next day The butcher was unable to
spare Hny Of his men, bat offered her his dog,
an animal Of peculiar ierocily which she assur.
ed her would be "a much better defence in case
of danger. The woman readily excepted the
offer, aud the dog was locked in the frame
room lhnt contained the plate with other
valuable property and the night passed over
over without any alarm. In the morning how
ever, when she came down stairs, she saw
the door open and the dead body oil man
with his bowels torn out, and other marks Of
violence, whom, on examining she found to
be the brother OF her master, whom she had
consulted in the morning, The dog had re-
ceived no injury, and offered none to the
woman, whom he knew from her lrequenting
the house Of its master The family have in
vain tried TO conceal this lsmentable disaster
from the world the wretehed victim is repre-
seated 10y them to be now on his travels, aud
some inquetude is even said to be affected
on account OF his not having lately written 10
his friends, that all suspicion of this melau.
choly occurrence may be wholly extinguish

1t turns out that Democratic counties
have been most liberal in raising a relief
fund for the soldiers families, and that
the Western Reserve counties have been
niggardly in the extreme. This is con-
fessed by Republicans. Here is an extract
from the Cincinnati Garsas, distinctly as
serting what we have said above
"The county auditors are required by law
to report TO the Auditor of State the amount
of the relief fund expended in their counties
during the fiscal year. About one.third of
them have 30 far reported. To the shame OF
some Union localities, it must be said that
Copperhead counties like Holmes aod others
make better record than they do The
amount expended in proportion to the aum-
ber of soldiers furnished is least in Lorraine,
Geauga and other strong Union counties. "
