4 SHOWER OF GOLD.
From, the Hartford Oourant. 9

From the Hartford C6urant. I'D ,Es ~ sgs9ssl
The fckleness of fortune is we'll illustra:
ted in the experience Of q worthy family in
this city, who have suddenly found them
selves raised from that condition in society
where people are said to live in 'smoderate
circumstances to the highest pinnacle Of
wealth. The facts are these: Mrs Eli
Walker. residing at No. 100 Maple avenue,
isia woman Of English birth Her erhusband
(who is machinis: by trade) and herself
have resided here for. number of years,
and have several children. It was report
ed some time ago that 4 large property.
valued at thirty five millions Of dollars, had
fallen to Mrs. WIS father, as direct heir,
and he being dead, that the whole amount
belonged to her as his only child. Steps
were at once taken to ascertain the truth
Of this report, and Ex- Governor T. H. Sey-
mour was employed to investigate. The
result of his investigation is entirely favor
able to Mrs Walker; documents having
been received which show beyon question
that she will come in possession Of this in
mense property-and she, together with
her husband and children, will start for
England next week to receive the golden
egg. f,..- 3'1..' ~. 5''s@..5st...szS's - -
It is said that al on full settlement of
all matters connected with this most extra
ordinary ''streak Of luck" Mrs Walker
will return to Hartford and make her per
manent residence here. Rumor hath it
that she will erect upon some eligible site
magnificent mansion, following the style
of the grand villas anl castles of Merry
England. which will excel in grandeur the
rnncf cOst1v of American r,o1acaa D. 5-.=sl=. .
Bat the lady has not probably given any
one permission to make such statement.
It is more reasonable to suppose that some
gossipper, has flowed his Imagination to
PICTURE. as Melnotte pictured to Pauline, a
fairy palace with marble halls by the Lake
Of Como Yet it would not be surprising
if the fortunate possessor Of thirty FIVE mil.
lions in solid gold should desire to erect
here-where years of toll have been cx-
pended to furnish daily support man
sion suitable to lite Of luxury and ease,
and creditable to the city which she adop-
ted as home. r. @s25r
I We congratulate Mrs. Walker and her
family upon their good fortune. She will
be, when in full possession of her proper
ty, the richest woman in the United States.
But she is said to be woman of good
sense, and will not place herself beyond
friends during the years she has lived here /;
already we learn that it is her purpose TO
make one family at least in whom she is
interested, independent of want; aud we
shall probably be called upon hereafter to
chronicle other charitable deeds which her
generosity will prompt, i. ojt#as

A PLEA FOR JEFF. DAVIS.

From the Utica Telegraph. :s.H ......4.. ,,5~.,
/ A raving lunatie was brought to this city
yesterday for treatment in the asylum. He
was formerly soldier. member of the
Forty first Regiment His name is George
W. Bassett. He was one of the Andersons
vile prisoners, and the terrible privation.
which he then suffered, so shattered his
constitution that he never fully recovered,
and was finally reduced to his present pitt
able condition. The phantom which SEEM
ed to possess his mind was He'll, to which
he himself and everybody around him were
fastening Doubtless the scenes Of that
death-pen at Andersonville had been GEAR
ed into his brain as with red-hot iron till
all else is burned out but that terrible
thing which is now within him living
horror-a burning, fearful hell.
