ASTONISHING CREDuLlTy. - An
other verdant farmer has fallen vic
tim to an old aud shallow deception.
A wandering gypsy woman, profess
ing to be clairvoyant and spiritu-
alist, told A. A. Reeves, a well-to do
farmer near Sedalia, Mo-. that the
spirits had informed her Of an i'm.
mense quantity Of gold and silver
hidden on his farm. This, after a
while, she made him believe, and
that the spirits would not reveal the
spot where the treasure was, unless
she was placed in possession OF
$4,000, with which to perform the
necessary incarnation. The deluded
man, who possessed about $1,000 in
cash, mortgaged his farm for $4,000,
and thus made up the sum, keeping
the whole affair a secret from his
family, at the instigation of the She
villain. The woman took the money
and with great ceremony tied it up
in a piece of cloth. She returned
the next day, when the final cere-
monies took place, Mr.. Reeves stand.
ing in the center of a room repeating
the Lords Prayer, while she, with
the package of money, performed
evolutions about him, mysteriously
chanting. This concluded, the wo-
man placed what was ostensibly the
package of money in one of Mr.. RS
hands. and charged him, at the peril
Of destroying the spell, not to let the
package go out Of that particular
hand until he had hidden it in some
safe and secret place, where, undis-
turbed, it was to remain for the Pc
Rod of four days, when Mr.. r. was
to 60 and get it and meet his en-
chantress at a spring near by, when
the two in company would proceed
to tho place where the hidden treas
ure was buried. Mr.. Reeves obeyed
these injunctions strictly, only to
find at the end of the four days that
the package contained dime novel,
minus his $4,000, and that his en-.
chantress was nowhere visible. He
is a wiser but poorer man. Boston

HAVING AN OBJECT IN VIEW
1t IL supposed that the adventurous
party Of gentlemen from this city
who have gone out to the Tickfaw
on "wild hunt" after deer, bear
and such other "varmints' as may
come in their way, have grander
object in anticipation from the prac-
tice and experience they may &C
quire in their exploits, than any
present success that may attend
the same. They had been hearing
of Mr. Pertuiset, the great French
lion-killer, and of his invitation to
the bold hunters of all nations to join
him in Algeria for grand expedi-
ton against the monsters Of the AZ
rican desert--hunts, he says, that
will prove worthy Of Nimrod. In
cited by SO brilliant an opportunity
for immortalizing themselves in the
same scale with Cummings, Gerard
and Pertuiset, they determined
on making the Tickfaw excursion in
order to "get their hands in" previous
to making application to Mr.. Pertu-
iset to join him in his African sports.
Mr.. Pertuiset limits the number of
hunters who are to accompany him
to fifty. We may, therefore. expect
to see much rivalry manifested
among our Tickfaw excursionists as
to which of them shall bear the palm
in the bagging of game, as that. Of
course, will decide who are entitled
to be considered the most worthy
and acceptable champions to repre-
sent this region in the band Of Afri-
can hunters.
As our readers may be n little Gu
rious to know something more about
Mr.. Psrtuiset's grand scheme, we
will quote what he has to say him.

HYGIENlc PRECAuTIoNs.--The
Mayor and Council Of this city have
determined in lieu of the quarantine
experiment to adopt such precaution-
airy measures against the introduce
ton or origination of yellow fever
here, as will compass the desired aim
if anything possibly can. A guard
OF police will be stationed Mt the
landing whose duty it will be to
board the boats as they arrive from
any infected point, and prevent the
discriminating Of any person having
the fever, or of any other person not
designing to remain here, or Of any
6brous goods under five days and
then only after undergoing a disin-
fecting process and no one will be
allowed by the police to 60 on board
of any such boats, unless intending
to leave the place.
In addition to these precautions
such sanitary measures as a thorough
cleansing and lining of the city, burn.
ing of tar, &c. are to BIZ enforced as
may tend to remove any local cause
for epidemical disease,

AT Lawrepceville. near Pittaburg, Penn,
on Friday morning. the 18th mat, Mrs.
MARY ANN ISETT, native Of Salem
Mass, aged So years.
Mrs. IsETT was the wife of the late Col
Samuel L. Isett, whom she survived but
few BRET months. During the many years
she resided in Baton Rouge, shs was
universally esteemed for her gentleness,
amiability and kindness. It was her
pleasure as well as pious inclination at all
times to engage In acts Of benevolence to.
wards her kind. As ono Of the early nnd
devoted co.laborers In the work of forming
and conducting the Female Orphan Asy-
lum in this city, she held conspicuous
rank, aud always proved herself a true
friend and protector of the orphan and an
exemplar of virtue and goodness to society
at large.
Mrs. IsErT died of eonsumption-a dis
ease which had fastened itself too firmly
upon her frail constitution to be shaken off
in a change Of climate which she sought
last winter by coming back here to sojonrn
among her Louisiana relatives and friends,
but whence she was suddenly SUNNI oped
to return to Pennsylvania by the last fatal
illness Of her husband.
The Presbyterian Church, of which she
was shining light and ornament, will
feel deeply her loss, no less than the pri-
vate circles of relationship and friendship
to which she was endearsd by so many
ties Of domestic virtue and true Christian

We. the undersigned, having been in
viied by Mr.. f. Holander TO attend ut an
experimental trial of the caterpillar exter-
minator, invented by Mr.. Charles Stein
man, which took place on this plantation
to-day, beg leave to report:
That we witnessed the trial Of the ma
chine in the cotton field, and that wherever
the fluid used came ia direct contact with
the caterpillar on the plant, that it imme-

fluid all over the entire plant, would ex-

It is arranged that two grand
special battues of lions will take
place every week, with the assist
ance of from one hundred to two
hundred native heaters. It will be
expressly forbidden to shoot at any
animals except lions. The amateur
huntsmen will be assembled in par.
ties Of three, more or less, according
to circumstances--M. Pertuiset alone
excepted, who will always make 1t
pleasure to occupy alone the more
dangerous post. The night hunts
will, when the weather permits it, be
made in ambush.
"A wild boar, hyena, panther,
porcupine, lynx, tiger, cat, jackal,
&c, hunt will take place twice every
week, with the assistance of nu-
merous troop Of heaters. On these
occasions the huntsmen will have
the right of firing at all kinds Of
animals without restriction. A shoot
ing match will be held once or twice
a week, as may be most agreeable to
the huntsmen. The number OF lion
hunts may be Increased as often as
the presence OF lions is discovered
in the neighborhood of the encamp-
ment.
