A STRANGE STORY Ga Friday last a gen
teely dressed and gentleman'y looking young
man, apparently German, or Of German de-
scent, called upon young lady, whose husband
has beer dead about one month"; sister of one
of the parties executed for the assassination OF
President Lincoln, at her boarding house, on
Wolfe street, in this city. The widow and the
lady with whom she was boarding we're IN the
paror when tie stranger called lie told the
widow that he had important information TO
impart 10 her, but it was of such character
that it could not be spoken of 10 the presence
of third party. He was asked his name
That, he said, he would only tell when he
gave the other information. He told the
widow that if she would address note to A.
B., through the postofice, stating when and
where private interview could be obtained he
would be obliged, and then left. The note was
written and sent as requested, the place desig
mated being the lady's boarding house, and the
hour II O clock noon, when the husband Of the
lady with whom the widow was boarding would
be at home.
At the hour mentioned the stranger, dressed,
though, in an entirely different manner but still
very genteely, called. and the widow received
him in the parlor alone AS soon as he entered
the room he placed his hand behind him as
though to draw pistol, and so strange was
his behavior that the widow shrieked, and the
lady with whom she was boarding instantly
entered through side door, and her husband
appeared at the front door. The stranger seemed
much Disconnected by these arrivals and in
stantly begging pardon for his intrusion, bowed
himself out, and has not since been heard from
