REMARKABLE CURIOSITY Mr.. Daniel
W. Smith, foreman of the Boston Pest
composing room, has just returned from q
summer vacation spent in New Hampshire,
and brings from the Granite State re-
markable curiosity, that has puzzled the
brains Of oil to whom it has been shown
1t is pillow case made of common striped
ticking, and tho property of Mrs. Jeremiah
Whitney, Of East Canaan, N. II. In 1850
Mrs. Whitney filed this case with hen
feathers, taken unfortunately from the
slaughtered inmates of the barn yard, and
placed it on what she called her ''spare
bed,n There it remained until some six
months ago, the bed receiving only ocea-
sional use. Last spring young lady who
slept in the bed thought there were some
peculiarities in the pillow, and called the
attention of Mrs. Whitney. With the en-
orgY of the careful housewife, on being
80 notified that lady Immediately opened
the pillow case, and was surprised to find
the quilts and stems of the feathers com
pletely stripped. On turning the case in
side out, it was found moreover, that the
down from the feathers had been pressed
against the ticking 10 such a manner as
to form surface like that of velvet over
the whole inside Of the case, as shown US
by Mr.. Smith, looks like u piece of slightly
worn velvet Of uniform maltese color,
backed by strip of blue and white bed
ticking.
This strange phenomenon has been ex-
hibited to gentlemen engaged in various
departments of cloth manufacture, and
they are unable to suggest any means by
which the present appearance of the pill
low-case could be produced. Some have
thought that it resulted from the opera
tons Of an insect, but none were found
when it was frst opened, and the cloth has
not been eaten at all, but is whole and
strong as ever. The work--however done
has been well done, and the down is so
firmly fixed to the cloth that no moderate
usage will remove it. 1t is remarkable
that it should be laid on evenly over the
entire surface, SO that the whole is covered
and none left bare. There are no theories
that we have yet heard that are sufficient
to account for the phenomenon, and ine
chance ID offered for scientific mon to man.

DEATH or Al E'0ETs;ss.


Miss HANNAH T j. GouID, died at Eewbn-
ryport, Mass, q few days since, at The nd
vaneed ago Of Is. She was highly gifted
with poetical talents. Her lyric strains
are characterized by happy blending Of
gentle pathos with true moral excellence,
draped in an aflnence Of language, which
make them appear like apples Of gold set
in pictures of silver"
The uame of Miss COULD will live and
be cherished as household word in many
heart whose emotions have been walked
and kindled by her magic spoll.a
Among tho numerous illusions which
have appeared as the browning efforts Of
her sparkling genius, are 1.-THE Snow
Flake, 'aThe Frostp aThe Winds ",rbe
Pebble,n "The Midnight Mail" "The
Acorn" etc. But, perhaps, the little
poem above all others which has most
contributed to link her name with an i'm
perishable memory, is the following ex-
quisite one com posed during the appren-
tice period Of her devotion to the muses. :
