MESMERISM AND ROBBERY.
DIV the GypsIes PlIIaRed Lady,s Residence.

How the Gypsies PillaRed n Lady's Residence.
There has been for some days past an encamp-
ment of what may be called gypsies in Rut-
land, their camping ground having been changed
from time to time, if not from day to day. On
Saturday last two of them called at the house of
Mrs. Hubbard, widow lady residing on the
corner of Wales and West streets, with some
baskets, which they offered for sale. Upon Mrs.
Hubbards declining to purchase, they entered
into conversation with her, and one of them, OBJ
serving that she had small bunch on her fore
head, proposed to remove it. Mrs. Hubbard in
formed her that it originated with an injury
which she had received some years ago, and
that, as it had affected the bone it could not be
remedied whereupon one OF the gypsies mace
a pretense of examining the bunch, and COM
menced passing her hands over Mrs. Hubbard's
face. This is the laSt she remembers of the
transaction at the time. On the next day, Sun
day, wishing to use some money, she went to
the place where she was in the habit of keeping
it, but could not find any, and upon further
search it was ascertained that dozen silver
spoons and some other articles were missing
Mrs. Hubbard then remembered that she was
unconscious at the time these two women left,
and that there had been during the rest of the
day a strange feeling of dizziness in her
head, and her suspicious were at once
aroused that she had been magnetized by these
women, and that taking advantage of her
unconscious condition, they had taken the
money, silver, ETC., with them. Procuring a
team she started in the direction of their en-
campment, and taking advice proceeded to pro-
cure search warrant and an Ofhcer. while
doing this she was probably observed by the
women, for, on returning to her house to get
ready to 60 with the officer, and while up stairs,
the two women came into the house, left bun
die on the table, and simply remarking that sit
was all right, they had only borrowed it," or
something to that effect, went away. Upon
opening the bundle all of the missing articles
as well as the money, with the exception of
some two or three dollars, which was in silver,
were found. 1t is supposed that the woman
noticed Mrs. Hubbard p0inp To different nlapas
and thinking that she suspected them of the
theft, and not having had time 10 properly Sc
crete the articles, took this method to avoid a
observation-disclosures (Vt.) Herald.

"A writer in the Lutheran Observer SAYS
professor Stoever was large-hearted phllan-
thropist. During the battle of Gettysburg he
was foremost in attending to the wants of the
sick, the wounded, and dying soldiers. Noman
was more active in caring for them in their suf-
ferings, and many lives were saved through
him. In 1865 we were at his house when Gov
ernor Farchild. of Wisconsin, brought his wife
TO see him; and we shall never forget Governor
Fairchild's introduction of bis wife to the Pro.
fessor. This said he, is the man who saved
my life, and prevented you from being widow.
With fearful eyes and faltering voice she said
i have come from the Far West to thank you
for what you have done for my husband 1t

REFORMED.
The japanese Government has determined
to establish two schools in Japan for the educa-
tion of the children of the higher classes, and
has called two Reformed (Dutch) missionaries,
the Rev. s. X. Brown, d. D., and the Rev. g. F..
Verbeck, to take charge of them. Both have
consented to do so. Mr.. Verbeck is already in
Yeddo, engaged in his school.
MORAvIAN.
The Moravans in thlsIcountry are divided
into two provinces, one in the Northern, the
other in the Southern States. The statistics OF
the northern province just published, show
that there are So churches, having 5, $40 commu-

hem, Pa.-has 1,012 communicates, and at Hope,
Ind, Nazareth, Pa, and Philadelphia there are
churches with between $50 and 500 members
each. Their ministers number 43. The south
ern province is much smaller, having 1,050 COM
municants, and 635 children and other members.

The Emperor of the French has decided that
there shall be chaplain of each form of wor-

An Ingenious Escape from The Maryland Peni-
tentiary.

An Ingenious Escape from The Maryland Peni-
Tertiary.
The Baltimore Sun of yesterday has the fol-
lowing:-
One of the most ingenious escapes on record
took place at the Maryland Penitentary last
evening. The party who effected his escape is
named Adolph Lawrence, Frenchman. His
cell was on the upper tier, and, being crippled
in TIE left hand, he was not compelled to work.
1t is supposed that during the afternoon he must
have visited his cell, where he made an effigy of
a man and placed it in position inside the cell
Just as the conVicts stand when the deputy
keeper makes his first evening round aud re-
ceiYes check from each prisoner, as proof posi-
tive Of his presence in his proper place. The
effigY was made ofstraw taken from his bed and
had for a head pretty good representation
made of papier mache. He also had o hand
made of the same material, in the finger of
which was held his ticket AS the deputy Keeper
made his round he hurriedly gathered ia this
ticket with the rest, wnich was placed among
those taken from the prisoners, and on a count
it was found that the number of tickets tailed
with the number of prisoners. The first intma-
ton of the escape came from a child on the
street running from the rear to the front of
the prison and informing the warden that
prisoner was on the outside of the wall, and had
made some threat to prevent informa-
tion being given. As inquiry was at once
made, when the facts detailed above were ascer-
tanned. 1t seems that Lawrence, after fixing the
ethgy In position, hid himself in the yard aud
securing a strong rope, made his escape over
the wall. lie was seen TO alighL on the outside
by the child whom he threatened, aud had il not
been for this fact it is more than probable that
his escape would not have been found out until
this morning. Lawrence is about thirty wears of
age five feet six inches high, with dark sandy
hair inclined to curl He was convicted in the
City Criminal Court, in February last. of lar
ceny, and sentenced to serve until the 4th of
March, 1875. A reward of 300 is offered for the
capture Of Lawrence.

The Memphis Aualancbe-a good newspaper,
but none too loyal, and a noted sensationist-
has the following in its issue of the 10th inst.:-
There is trouble at the Point" The Point is
situated some five or six miles from town, be-
tween.the Wolf and Hatche rivers. The colored
population out there have been disturbed to
their lowest depths. Some time ago Winfield
Jerusalem was out there preaching a sort of re-
ligious-I olitical sermon, exclusively colored in
it's tone and air. Sentries we're placed at proper
distances beyond the precincts of the church.
TO keep away interloping whites. What trans
pired at the meeting was held secret until a Dr.
Winston cornered one of the colored cusses and
forced confession from him. The colored man
said that Uncle Smif was talking to 'em
upon various toothpicks, an things in general, "
among which was the startling announcement
that the "kullud pussun" would pass away like
the Indian of former days, and that now was
the time to make stand-now the time to get
on their legs and make fight for their rights,
and do or die.
Their enthusiasm and their ire and their in
dignaton we're at once raised; even the sentries
that perambuated outside the church became
affected and sent up involuntary cheers. The
news spread abroad among the neighbors that
the colored man intended to stand up for his
rights, and that he considered now the accepted
time and that If he wouldn't strike boldly and
well he would be forever fallen Yesterday
was the day set apart for the rising" The
female portion of the community became inn
bued with the idea that they couldn't stand it.
They took the youngsters under their arms and
under the protecting folds of their cloaks and
rushed into the city quite numerously.
The discourse of the patriotic Smith occurred
some five or six weeks ago. Since then the
negroes, who are making crops on shares, have
been growing discontented and careless daily,
abandoning their crops in some cases. Smith
is reported to have advised them to rise at once
or the whites would soon be too numerous fol
them. When asked what about their crop:
Smiths reply was that their crops we're nothing
compared to their lives and liberties Now was
the time to vindicate themselves or not at all
A patrol of citizens were organized, aud wore
was sent to Sheriff Wright, coupled with a re-
quest for aid. Further details are awaited with
anxiety.

"A young girl named Clubhouse put period
to her existence at st. Louis, few nights since,
IN consequence of having received no communi-

unseated her reason, and she swallowed aslarge

The examination in the case of the young

charged with robbing the United States mail,

already adduced goes to show that he had been
