Osborn appesredl before them, among
them Randall, with the rife, which was
fully identified as the property of the
missing Earl a Another party had a
small trunk .belongirg to him., and in
this were found letters from his family,
written some years ago, soon after he
left homes A young lady TO whom Os-
born paid some attention brought forth
picture presented to her by the Earl.
The commission took the rifle, trunk
and picture, giving 10 the young lady
another picture of tho Earl, and making
handsome Compensation TO parties who
give its members any Information. To
Randall the commission promised as
good rifle in return for the one he bad
given up as could be made in England.
About two months since that rifle was
received, and parties who have seen II
describe II as an elegant piece Of work
manship, probably as perfect in its
shooting qualities as II is in its exterior
ornamentation. The object ii taking
the rifle and picture was for evidence,
and doubtless the parties surrendering
them made deposition to the facts In the
Osborn created favorable impress
sion while in Richmond; he deposited
money in the savings bank, the cashier
Of which is an old friend Of ours. This
officer at one time when Osborn came
in to deposit pleasantly remarked to
him: ''Y ou will some day be somebody :
"How 50 ~ queried Osborn. "A young
man unlike others Of your age, you are
taking care of your money" was the re-
ply of,tbe cashierC OF course. 0sborn's
signature to the pass book was taken in
evidence.
Nothing was ever dropped by Osborn
in Richmond to lead any one to suppose
that he was other than he appeared, ex-
cept on one occasion, when, after words
which he had with well-known ship
owner there, probably in some temper,
he remarked, II could buy and sell you
two or three times" At the moment
the remark made no impression.

From the Brunmiek MAINE TeIesraphl
The payers, few months since, were
filed with details of the career OF this
Young Scottish nobleman, und we need
20 over but little of the ground that has
been occupied before. The reader will
recollect that he was for some time res
ident Of Richmond, where he worked at
day labor, being occupied during the
Spring Of 1869 in cutting ice on the Ken
nebec; he left Richmond for Boston to
take the position Of first off icer Of a three
masted schooner, bound, we believe, to
Australia, and it was from this vessel
that he was washed overheard and lost,
when only few days from port.
His family had been endeavoring to
get track of him for three or four years,
and with that view, after clew TO his
wanderings had been discovered, com
nilsson Of three gentlemen lone the tu-
tor Of the young Earl, and the second a
chancery officer }, came over TO this
country TO look up the evidence, not only
to the Identity to the Earl with Osborn,
but to procure evidence OF his death, a
point Of great imEortance to the settle
ment Of the family title and estate.
Subsequent 10 tae Earls departure, the
heir had died, and he stood next in right
70 the possession, fact of which he
died in ignorance. ol 81 f,,
The commission visited Richmond
and obtained very conclusive evidence
that Osborn and the Earl were one and
the same person,
When Osborn was about TO leave
Richmond for Boston, being short ol
money, he went 10 an acquaintance
there, young man by the name Of Ran
dali, and asked the loan OF twenty dol
lars, and offered to leave With him a val
liable rife, Randall TO hold Il for re
demption until Osborn's return. The
offer was accepted. Upon the arrival
OF the commission at Richmond, and
when their business was made known, Of
course parties having any knowledge Of

co..,p from an OperA.Box.

The PhiIadslphia Bulletin's letter from
Rome (November 24) contains the fol-
lowing feminine gossip from an opera
box. There we're the stylish Doria
daughters-the Duchess Olympia Doria,
who is just out this winter, and looks like
a Raphael Mengs pastel, and several
other notabilities. Further along in the
circle of the second 0rdiDe, which is the
dress circle, sat Prince DOFia, the fhther
of these dashing young women. With
hin. was Sella, the Minister Of France,
who Jocks more like an American than
an Italian. he has a long head and
a shrewd face. Minister Sella seemed
to enjoy most looking at the audi
ence, and inquiring of some one
in the back Of his palco the names
Of the strangers present Suddenly his
eyes lighted on q very handsome woman
in Mr.. Hooker's (ths bsnker) palco, just
opposite him. II was Mrs. Frederick
Crowninshield, wife Of the clever Boston
landscape painter, a blonde with the
richest complexion, and chestnut hair Of
such richness and quantity as 10 set the
