Queer Freak of Nature-A Woman Re

from Amite City, under date of Septem-

''Abvut the year 1880 became acquaint-

upwards Of ninety years of age, and dned
with her at the house Of her son, who was

and who was fifteen years younger than his
next youngest brother or sister
This old lady was the wife of Mr.
Adair, of South Carolina, whose name is
'honorably mentioned more than one time

when [ met her in Alabama she had re-

Welcome Back /!

The Green Bay Adrocate, which has
been $ off the track " for several years,
comes to the support of the Democratic
ticket in the following eloquent language
The Democratic Convention which met
at Madison last week, put in nomination
the ticket 'ge publish at the head of this
column. 1t is acknowledged on all sides
as strong ticket. and is headed by man
against whom we have not yet seen a word
said Mr.. Iallmadge is a merchant of Mil
waukee, has lately been mayor of that city,
Is man Of acknowledged ability, and in
politics has record which we can heartily
indorse.
The Convention was made up generally
OF the most liberal stamp of men in the
party, and disposition was manifested to
harmonic upon the disputes of the past
few years, and adopt such ticket and plat
form of principles as the entire party could
agree upon. This, if not successful this
fail, IS the direct road to victory hereafter,
and We enter the campaign with the en- :
couraging feeling that good sense and a
broad open Iberalisy as to minor differences
are 10 rule hereafter. r...e..
The declaration of principles will be
found IN full In another place. 1t is posi-
tive and precise, unlike the vague and
meaningless platform put forth by the
Republicans two1 weeks ago. Upon the
subject OF the tariff-that subject which is
soon to take the first place in the politics
OF the country, the Democratic position is
thus announced: To repeal the existing
tariff laws, enacted for the protection of
thc ftN, aJ tiiU Gust Of the ,narry' There
it is, direct, aud void of all ifs and butts
1t ought to be the watchword of every man
IN the agricultural States. ~
pom the rights of citizens as to Sun
day o5servances, the party is pledged to
maintain the privilege of every man to
carry out his own ideas of religion with the
public peace. That is enough; it looks to
the protection of all.
There are other matters to which our
present time will not permit of an allusion,
but refer the reader to the platform itself
We cannot close this article, however.
Nlthoutexpressing our satisfaction that the
Convention was bold enough, and right
enough to express in such golden language
the resolution as to the national debt In
putting down the rebellion, These are the
words; That ace are IN Jaror Of the .fuN
and pa11ctuqf discharge Of national obliga-
tons and debts precisely on the conditions
RHd terms on aChich hey were contracted
and the faith Of the Government rledged.'
The Convention which adopted that reso-
luton cannot be disloyal one. 1t has cut
loose from the dishonorable sentiment in
favor Of reputation, and has declared that
i must be held, if at all, outside Of the
Democratic party of Wisconsin,

The Grand Rapids (Mich.) Democrat
has the following: A. u.
1T is Currently rumored, about the streets
Of this CITY, that William A. Berkey, of the
Efrn Of Befkey Ryothers & Co., of this
place, ia tie victim of pretty. ex tensire ,
and expenslves to BIN, sbnfdk1ce gnme,
played % hipa sorpe litth time since by
three sh5peri IN xbk city of Ckeago. AS
the story runs, NJ Berkey wdsseatc0vin u

tered and commenced talking in his hear
ing about the amount of money they bad
made by their lead mines that they had
In short time accumulated more capital

la place as Chicago, and SO on. Mr..
Berkey, like many other men. being on
the look out for good opening, was OF
course deeply interested in the 'conversa-
tlon. which was undoubtedly intended for
his ears, and finally made the acquaintance
OF those rich strangers, and they took .
walk together and Id their walk, they met a
nDanaAa stool pigeon for the sharpersL ho
wanted TO know4of the owners sof the rich
lead mine if they had concluded TO accept
his offer of $50, 900 Tor the mine. and they
told him no; that they concluded not to
sell; that it. the mine, was, quite, good
Eenough property; for them to hold. Sharper
number two then made another offer, in
crcasing the amount to $4,000, but it was
useless, the owners could not SELL, ThistalE
was, of course, made, for Mr. Berkey' S
ears, and it had the desired effect. He
was very anxions to purchase an interest in
| their great reservoir of wealth. After a
little shrewd conversation and ,skillful ma
neuvering, the wealthy lead mine. specuIa-
tors concluded to sell their made friend
and acquaintance, Mr. Berkey,. a tenth
interest in their emboweled bank fol-
$40, 600. The offer was greedily accepted
and the bargain closed, by the purchaser
drawing, q check on bis house here, fol-

The Dorchester Mass Bank Robbery.

The Boston papers give the particulars
OF the audacious robbery of the Blue Hill
bank, in Dorchester, (near Boston,) on the
18th inst. 1t seems that about II | A
clock in the forenoon, Mr.. B. T. Tolman,
the assistant cashier of the Blue Hill Bank
left the same, leaving Mr.. BiSpham, the
cashier, alone Just as Mr.. 3. was pre-.
pairing to close the bank for the day-the
time then being about a quarter. of IL
three men came into the bank, two, of
whom passed to the end of the counter,
opened the door, and went through, stand
ing about eight feet from the cashier
The third man going to the opening in the
iron guard, through which money is passed,
flung down $50 greenbaek, and asked for
change. The movement. toward the coun-
ter being Simultaneous, the cashiers at
ention was more particularly given to the
man desiring the change. Mr., Bispham,
who was sitting at the time the three en-
tered the bank rose and stood at the
counter behind the opening in the gdard!
Taking up the $50 bill to look at, his at
t n 10 was directed therefrom by the two
emen who had passed just within the door
in the counter, and to. his great. astonish
ment and fear, saw in the hand of each a
pistol pointing towards him. Mr. Bispham
stamped his feet and gave aloud call, when
'he was knocked senseless By the burglar,
who immediately placed a gag some six
inches long in his mouth, tied hIs1egs with
tarred cord, and placed pair of handouts
on his wrists. The burglar then seeoped
the contents of theimoney drawer, amount.
Ing. to some ten or twelve thousand. dollars,
and taking a trunk from the vault which
contained an amount of bonds and other
valuable papers, the property OF varlons
citizens, they jumped into their vehicle,
which was standing at the entrance OF the
bank, and decamped, locking the upper
door and taking the key With them. The
door has two locks, the key being leftln the
ileek, which is only REGARDED as security
during the daytime, While the affair ~ was
going on, Michael Nolan was in, the street,
and hearing the noise and cutlery IN the
bank called to the persons In Talbot,s gro1
Gerry store, directly opposite, and told them
that there was trouble nthe bank. s Sever,
al persons employed in the store immedi-
ate'v crossed the street, and went mp to the
b. nix, which is in the rear room of the Sec
,end story. The three robbers passed them
on, their way down stairs, one of them ex-
claiming. This is a hill of bank that
can't change $50 blu. Tt was observed
that the robbers had valisc and small
trunk withathem. They passed ont of, the
building, and, entering a buggy which they
had left standing at. the door, drove RAPIDLY
away in the direction of Roxbury. But a
few mil utes elapsed before several parties
were in pursuit Of the robbers, who we're
traced through Roxbury, to the vicinity of
Dover street, in Boston, where their course
was lost. .;,rvs,s a.roo- ad,.f ~ s;r.s. s

The following account of the proceed
ings of Wisconsiner is from the Wash
ington correspondents of the New Y rk
Herald. The man is probably some Rad
ical who has become mad by reading the
crazy editorials of the Daily Wisconsin on
The impeachment question: f
"a man assuming 70 be the son of God,
and predicting th at President johnson has
only 48 hours to live, has made himself
prominent here since Thursday His name
is John G. Clark, and he is said to be from
Wisconsin. Yesterday morning he appear
ed at the state department and endeavored
to get an interview with Secretary Seward
in order to get letter Of introduction to
the President. Officer Nutting was called
upon to arrest him, which he did, and took
him to the police headquarters. He had
remained there some time incustody, yet
was not placed in the lock up, when, watch
ing his opportunity, he took leg oail and
was soon in the street, making good speed,
and Mr.. Thomas Fcniour, clerk of Major
Richards, following him at lively pace.--
Mr.. Feniour succeeded in catching the fu-
gative when he reached Sixth street, and
took him back to the station house, where
he affirmed that he was Son of God and
had mission from God and that Andrew
johnson days were numbered-h would
not live As hours; he vas going to have an
interview with him, and would see him at
all hazards. He was taken below and lock-
ed in cell, when he remarked, This is q
pretty place to put the son of God in. =
He will be held until something more can
be ascertained about him, and il found
that he is insane, as ne appears to be. an
! effort will be made to get him into the in
sane asylum. He is man about 40 years
OF age, and says he has been in the city
two weeks. He has no place to stay, and
says that like the blessed Savior he has the
hearts of the people, and goes from house
to house. About year ago, twill be re-
membered, an insane. man sought inter
views with the President, representing that
he had special mission from Chicago
After falling repeatedly to get an audience,
he went off to Chicago and wrote letter
to the President, stating that he had tried
several times to see him, but now the Pres
ident must come to Chicago and see him if
he tthe Presidency wanted to see the i'm
portant communication he had to make. y
