REcovERY.oFaALosT DIAMOND RING
TLInoUaH eTHE, DREAM OF A MICRO

lihoUGH eIIiE DREAM OF A qNEGRO
GIRL.-A few nights ago, a lady, while
taking pleasure walk with her infant
child along Jefferson street, lost valu-
able diamond ring from her finger In
some unaccountable way.SsDi Diligent and
extensive search was made throughout
the neighborhood, but without any clew
to the ring, and the lady gave it up as
gone "for good aud ALL" Before day
light the following morning the lady was
surprised by the calls Of her nurse, a
small negro girl On being admitted to
her mistress, the girl, who had not heard
of the ring being lost, said she had just
had dream, in which she was apprsed
when, where aud how the jewel had been
lost, and that if allowed she felt sure she
could find it.. She then described the
place and manner in which the ring
disappeared, and begged her mistress to
go with her and test The dream. This
strange rcumstance was made known
to the house hold, but all treated it with
| the utmost incredulity 1t was afterward
concluded to hamor the girl, however.
and she and several white members of
the family proceeded to the designated
spot, more than 100 yards from the
house. Here the dreamer told her mis-
tress that as directed in her dream, she
must drop another ring, and it would
roll as a guide tc the missing Que. n. A
plain gold ring was handed the girl she
let it fall, and sure enough it rolled and
stopped within two inches of the lost
diamond ring, which had got into a
crcvice between two bricks Of the pave
meut. 1t may be imagined that the ring
hunters were somewhat astoundei at the
miracle. They did not pause to inquire
whether or not the girl was influenced
by the anticipated eclipse but she
obviously cclipsed all the little niggers
they had seen. Her own astonishment
was greater than that of all the rest

A good lady acquaintance of mine
Mrs. b., of this county, gave birth few

which up to this time, are doing finely,

The fact that the good lady is only some
fifteen summers old, and this being the
first time she has given birth, and that
her mother gave birth at alike tender
age, may be considered remarkable and
to the scientific men interesting. a wag-
