4 Strange Story.

On Friday, the Goth ult., genteelly dressed
and gentemanly looking young man, apparent
ly German, Or of German descent, called upon
a young lady, whose husband has been dead
about one month, sister Of one of the parties
executed for the assassination of President Lin
coin, at her boarding house, on Wolf street, in
this city The widow and the lady with whom
she was boarding were in the parlor when the
stranger called. He told the widow that he
had important information to impart to her,
but it was Of such character that it could not
be spoken Of in the presence of third party
He was asked his name.-That, he said, he
would only tell when he gave the other infor-
nation. He told the widow that if she would
address note to A. B., through the postofiice,
stating when and where private interview
could be obtained lie would be obliged and then
left. The note was written and sent as reques-
ted, the place designated being the lady s
boarding house, and the hour II 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 sti
very genteelly, called, and the widow received
him in the parlor alone. AS soon as he enters
ed 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 instantly
begging pardon for his intrusion, bowed him.
