From the Detroit Free Press, Dcccmbcr5 81
The Lansing Democrat mentions some cir
cumstances of most remarkable nature in re-
Spcct to the recovery OF a large sum Of money
which has been lost five years. The strange
and almost incredible story is told as follows by
the lucky finder, who passed through this city
for Montreal last week, for The purpose O
having the bills redeemed at the bank:
On the 9Th Of December, 1861, Mr. S.
who then lived on the Grand river road, near
Ills city, came to market with load Of wheat
accompanied by his son. the narrator Of these
circumstances.
The load of wheat, with the span Of horses,
was sold for the sum Of 1913 50, and the man
returned home, where, soon after their arrival
the father was taken with the cholera morbus,
and died just at daylight next morning. Az
ter bis funeral, search was made for the mon
ey-Which until then the family had been toe
sorely afflicted to think of-but to their aston.
ishmcnt only the $73 50 could be found
What had become of the remainder was a
question which could not be satisfactorily
solved. The whole house was thoroughly
searched, ard at length ii was concluded that
the money must have been lost on the way
home; yet aferadvcrtising extensively, through
the columns of the Free Press, and Offering 4
reward of $50 to the finder for the recovery OF
the money, no trace OF it could be discovered
and the event gradually passed out Of mind
But now comes the sequel, unlocked for and
singular, III which the money is recovered
through a dream. The young man, who
with his family, now resides in Ingham county,
has been recently suffering with painful leI-
on, which tortured him SO with loss of sleep
that on Thursday night Of the week before last
he took a dose of opium, under the influence
of which, after retiring to bed, he fell into a
profound slumber In the midst of this sleep
he dreamed over the trip made to this city
with his father, every circumstance Of which
was repeated minutely, with the incidents Of
time and place of sale, both of the wheat and
the horses, the counting of the money, etc,
in addition to which he saw, in his dream, that
two men were closely watching his father
while receiving the money; that they after
wards went away, when his father took of his
hat and placed nearly all the money inside the
lining of oil-skn. This dream several times
repeated, finally awoke Mr.. S, who related it
TO his wife, who had not yet retired, when she
went to an old chest, long unused, and brought
out The hat which the old man had last worn.
1t was old and moth-eaten, seemingly anything
but money-bag, yet, on turning back the
lining, $500 in Canada bank bills were found
IN tolerabIe state Of preservation. This
strange but ''ower true tale,'' as well as the
responsibility and trustworthiness of the rea-
tor, are vouched for by responsible parties,
besides the "plle," the most tangible and sat
lstactory result of the yagaries Of the exhausted
mind, working upon the 'tunreal stuff that
dreams are made Of. - remains to testify to the
truth Of the unusual occurrence

A SINGULAR AvERsToN.-Dr. Beattie had
one popularity which often made his friends
smile; tie object of his aversion was the crow
ing of cock. So well was this understood,
that in his latter days the lads attending Alb
erdeen College, when they wished for a hol-
day,sused to watch the professor as he APP
preached his class room, and throw down a
cock in bis path. The noble chanticieer would
flap his wings, and perhaps emit his solus cum
Soa, when the querulous author of 1.-The
Minstrel, !" arrested in his progress as if by
the sting of a serpent, turned on bis heel, and
shrunk back into bis house. There was no
class or lecture that day. The morbid feel
ing even found its way into his poetry Ia

ema against the cock. metropolitan Mag.

FUNERAL OF A BEE.-A correspondent of
the Glasgow Herald transmits the following:
"On Sunday morning last l had the pleas
urc of witnessing a most interesting ceremony,
which desire to record for the benefit Of Your
readers. Whilst walking near FaILrk, we
observed two bees issuing from one of the
hives, bearing with them the dctunct body Of
comrade, with which they flew for distance
Of twelve yards. We followed them closely.
and noted the care with which they selected
convenient hole at the side Of the gravel walk
the tenderness with which they committed
the body, head downward, to the carth-and
the soIlcltude with which they afterward
pushed against it two little stones, doubtless
IN memoriam.' Their task being ended.
they paused for about a minute, perhaps to
drop over the grave of their friend sympa-
tnlsng tear, and then they flew away to their
hive"

and draFe the bullet straight thran4h the for
ercster's bodv. He stood for a moment and
then said quietly, i am shot," and then fell
into the arms of his companion. Grant, who
laid him down and tried to stop The bleeding.
Seeing the poor fellow was SO much hurt,
Grant FASTENED up the glen, and found hin
master with the others wondering what had
become Of the two men. On hearing the
melancholy news, Mr.. Powell and his friends
Immediately went down to Urquhart, while bis
comrade ran over the hills to shieling, seven
or eight miles off, for further assistance, and
thence went to Braemar, sixteen miles further,
for DOCTORS But the forester was as fatally
hit as the stag, which had dropped dead
little way below, and although he could tell
how the accident happened when bis master
first came up. by-and by he grew weaker and
weaker, and died as the twilight began to fall:
At about o'clock the men came back; and
placing the body on hill pony, they Cared
1t ouJ uE tne pass. But by tbs ume the dark
ness was SO dense that in the wildness and
desoation the mournIul party utterly lost their
way. At midnight they were obliged to lay
the corpse on the heather, and sat down to
wait for morning, but just on stopping, they
saw the fire in the Smelling to which Grant had
first gone, and then the anthorns of the men
sent out to look for them. So at last they got
shelter The doctors had also come, but the
deerstalker was long past their help dead and
cold like bis slayer the antlered king of the
hills which lay in the wild mountain burn.
The stag had positively shot the forester with

death of many ''hear@ Of grease" and its

ANEcDoTE OF A DoG.-A few years ago,
in the shire of Edinburgh, a splendid New
ioundand dog might have been seen every
day visiting every pond Or brook in the neigh
borhood of his masters residence 1t had
been instrumental more than once in saving
persons from grievous death in the water.
He was respected for his magnanmity, and
caressed for his omjable qualities, till, strange
as it may be considered, this fattery compIete-
Iy turned his head. Saving OF life from
drowning became a passion. He took to it as
humanity takes to dram drinking. Not hav-
ing suaiccnt scope for the exercise of bis dis
caSed beneyoIcnce in the district, he took to a
very questionable method Of supplying the
deficiency. Whenever he found a child on
the brink of a water course, he watched pa
tIentIy for the opportunity, and placed his fore
paws suddcn on its person, and plunged it
in before it was aw NE. Now al! this was
done for the mere purpose of fetching them
out again. He appeared to find intense pleas
ure in this nonsensjca sort of work. At last
The cutlery became 50 great by parents alarmed
for their children, although no life was ever
lost by the indulgence of such a singular
taste, that the poor dog was reluctantly de-
stroyed. We saw a fine pair Of boots which
were manufactured from bis skin

Ii Interview with Hon. John Eorrisae7.
Correspondence Of the Cincinnati Commercially
New IoRE, December 90, IG66.-Last
night while seated in The Fifth Avenue Hotel,
a gentleman approached me and said he de-
sired 10 introduce 10 me The Hon. John Nor
rlssey. Invited him 10 be seated. and cen
vcrsed with BIN for considerable length Oil
time, upon various questions, and found him
to be Il remarkably courteous and polite gen
tieman, well informed; and, while he shows
by his conversation that he lacks the advan-
tages of an early education, he is, in many re-
spects, remarkable man. His strong points
lie in his manly candor and strong common
sense. He convcrsed about himself with I'M
usual lrankness, and answered courteously all
questions that were propounded to him by the
gentlemen present He said that he had no
idea of becoming candidate for Congress
when the newspapers first announced his name,
but that so SO much had been said against
him by certain newspapers that he concluded
TO become candidate and show them that
notwithstanding their opposition he could be
nominated and elected.
After his nomination, many Of his friends
came to him and advised him to close up his
gambling houses, and abandon all business of
that character. He replied, that if elected
he must be taken as he was" He had made
up bis mind that in case he was successful.
he would abandon the business, but he kept
his own counsel. Now" said he. Il am
member Of the Fortielh Congress, and after
The first of January, 1857, shall cease to be
connected in any manner with gambling, no
matter whether in stocks, gold, Or with cards.
This he considered duty be owed to his fam
lily. his constituents, and society.
Upon being asked by gentlemen as to how

he replied that in the spring Of '62 he had
