NrL RoBRkR Y-CArTURE OF THE
Tg,gr.-The Lynchburg Republican says:
Ahou, ten days ago registered mail
,s,kare. purporting to contain $3.50, was
..@rr.ycd at the Richmond poSt-othce, but on
.,aa;nation il was found that all of the
,,f.ahlc contents had been distracted.

.,t,.6,Gce department, happened to be in

i,~.i; and New Store post-otfice, and that
,tS r,;;l.y party was the mail carrier be-
;neca those points, negro man about
,r,n;v Years Of age, named Benjamin
Harris. Ii was then discovered that Har-
Rs Lad lei, for parts unknown, but
rayta;a Frey, with that instinct which

we're then sent forward descriptive of llar-

tc discovered, Captain Frey following on

DOWN in Georgia, having arrived at his des-

;c-,lay in charge of Captain Frey on his
way 10 Richmond, where he will be tried
lc:o.c the United States court. None Of
the stolen money was recovered, but the

Harris, and he will consequently have to
GIVE UP the idea of making his home in the

work in the prison Of some northern CLINE.

A Choir Nonplussed.

+" On Sunday afternoon last, at vcspers
in st. Mary's Church, the music was
opening grandly, with the choir in fine
voice, when suddenly, without warning,
the organ gave out and utterly refused
to respond to the persuasive fingers OF
Prof. Bauer by any musical sound
whatever. The voices of the choir, con-
sequentiy, for q time were left floating
on the air without accompaniment
Tony Steck, the basso of the choir, how
ever, proved equal to the emergency
and rushing down stairs and into the
schoolroom ofthe church on the hdja-
cent lot, laid hands on the cabinet organ
thcrcunto belonging, and with, the ne.
eessafy assistance carried 1t bodily UP
into the church organ loft. Thus har-
mony was restored, and the music went
on smoothly and beautifully to the close
of the services. .

Remarkable Negro..

q e .
A colorcd man is Mt the present stop
ping In this place, who attracts here,
as he has In other places where he
has been, great deal of attention. by
the singular power he possesses of dis
arranging certain organs of his body. q
BY some inward muscular ietion, he
seems to possess the power of changing
the location of his heart at pleasure
Placing our hand upon his breast, at the
proper place we could feel its beating
distinctly. He then commenced se-
ries Of contortions with his abdomen,
rolling over and over several times. At
the conclusion Of this striking exhibi-
tion, we placed our hand Oh a lump In
his left side below his waist, and there
was the heart humping away as ifnoth-
ing unusual was the matter. A few
more contOrtions, and the frlsky organ
passed the abdomen, and on the right
side kept up its work of throwing the
blood through the system as regular as
If in its natural position, being easily
traced under the skin till it passed un-
der the ribs. The man then commenc-
ed a sort OF rotary motion of the bow
els, apparently turning them over seve-
raj times, when we felt complete set
ofribs covering the abdomen, the fegu-
lar set being intheirusual place. Turn
ing the bowels in the opposite direction,
the false ribs disappeared. On being
asked ifhis mother had any more chill
dren like him, he replied that he had a
brother over six feet high, who could
reduce his stature to something less
than three feet. We believe him readi-
ily, after having witnessed the above
performances. tf Tfttf b3<
Another curious feature about himlis
that he cannot be choked. He allows
any one to grasp his throat, and use
his utmost strength to stop his breath
ing, but in spite ofall endeavors, he con-
I'tinues talking as If nothing was wrong.
