A Strange Story.

A correspondent of Cincinnati paper
writing from Richmond Ind, tells and
vouches for the truth of tho following
curious story:
About two years ago, Mr.. n. married.
In due time he became father, but his
wife died when the child was few
months old. On her dcath-bed she cx.
hibited intense anxiety as to the fate of
the little one she was to leave behind her,
and earnestly besought her husband to
conlide it, after her death, to the care of
one Of her relatives. He promised, and, /
believe, did for while let the child stay
in charge of the person whom the mother
had designated. Some weeks ago, how
ever Mr.. A. again married, and at once
reclaimed the child, who as yet had nev-
er learned to speak a word, and was una
bic even to crawl One day this child was
left alone for few moments in its step
mothers bedroom, lying in a crib or era
die some distance from the bed. When
Mrs. A. returned, she was amazed to see
the child smiling and growing on the mid
die of the bed. In her astonishment,
she involuntarily asked:
"Who put you there, baby !"
Mamma" responded distinctly the
child, that had never heretofore spoken a
word.
On strict inquiry throughout the
household it was found that none of the
family had been in the room during Mrs.
AS brief absence from it. This, it is
solemnly averrod, was but the beginning
of series of spiritual visitations from
the dead mother Whenever the child
was left alone it could be heard to laugh
and crow, as if delighted by the fondlings
and endearments of some one, and on
these occasions it was frequently found
to have changed its dress, position, etc,
in manner quite beyond its own unaid-
ed capacity. Finally, as the account is,
the first Mrs. y. appeared one night re-
Gently at the bedside Of Mr.. A. and his
second wife, and earnestly cntreated that
her darling should be restored to the rel
atiyo whom she had indicated as the guar
dian Of the child on her deathbod. The
appartion, which it is declared, was dis
tinctly seen and heard by both Mr.. A.
and his wife, promised to haunt them no
more if her wish was complied with
Both Mr.. A. and his wife were too much
awc-strickcn to reply but the next day
the child was carried back as directed by
the ghostly visitant. Such is the story
as seriously vouchod by the principal
parties concerned, who are most respect
able and intelligent people, and no spir-
itualists.

Stageing in the West.

The San Joaquin (Cal.) Republican of
January 23d gives the following:
The stage running between this city
and Murphy's was robbed again this
morning, and Wells, Fargo & Co.'S OK
press box captured The account as re-
ceived from the driver, Billy Cutter, is
about as follows: He left San Andreas
about Is minutes before aclock this
morning, and had proceeded about one
mile in the direction of Stockton, when
he was hailed by man on the side of
the hill, who said he wished to get on
the stage. Billy pulled up and the Eel
low came down and commenced unbut-
toning the curtains of the stage.
AS soon as he could look inside he
remarked that he would have the stage
all to himself, as there were no passen-
gers, to which the driver said yes, he was
lucky in that respect. just then the
team started up, and some one said, 81
wouldn't go yet" Looking around Billy
saw a man on each side of him with a
shotgun presented at his head. They
ordered him to pass out the express box,
and told him to wait few minutes and
they would hand it back to him, One
Of the robbers then commenced pound
ing the box with hatchet, remarking
that it appeared very solid, to which Bill
ly answered that the company made them
strong to keep such fellows out Of them.
One of the party asked Billy if he
had any money; he said yes, he had $3.50
OF $3.50, he could not tell the amount
Robber said he must shell out, which he
did, and found the sum to be $3.50. He
told Billy TO take off his boots, as one of
his fellows was almost barelooted. Billy
explained that it was rather rough to
leave man there in the rain without
boots, and the brake to manage. The
robber said he would give him the fol-
lows old ones, which Billy refused to put
on, until induced to do SO through the
persuasion of the shotgun. Meantime
the bare footed boy tried to get Billy's
boots on, but could, and they were given
back to him. They demanded his watch,
but, on his explaining that it was a pres
ent from his mother, they said: "Well,
you are pretty good teliow, and out OF
respect to your mother you may keep the
watch"
While this part Of the play was going
on, the other man had been pounding at
the express box with the hatchet, and
finding he could not open it, he told Billy
he had concluded to keep the box, and
he might drive on. The driver does not
know the value of the contents Of the
box"

Another Bank Robbery.

On Saturday morning the messenger of
the Chatham National Bank, N. Y, had
stolen from his pocketa wallet containing
notes and drafts to the amount of over
twenty-three thousand dollars.
The messenger does not exactly know
when the theft was committed. He
stepped into the post Office to make an in
quiry, and while in the lobby some per-
son passing through the throng rushed
by and jostled him, and shortly afterward
he was jostled by two or three persons
together while passing along Dey street.
In little while afterward he discov-
cred that bis wallet, containing the notes
and drafts was missing. Payment was
Immediately stopped so that the bank
loses nothing aud suffers no Inconvenience,
except the trouble of obtaining duplicates
Of the lost papers.

The Legislature.

Several bills of general interest have
been introduced in the Legislature
Among them are the following
Mr.. Warner read bill providing for
compulsory education Of all children Of
sound mental and physical health, be-
tween the ages of 6 and Il years, in this
commonwealth.
1t makes it unlawful for parents or
others in charge of children between the
above ages, and sound in body and mind
to cause or willingly permit the absence
of such children from the common schools
or other sources of regular and and COM
petent education. Violation of the act
will be misdemeanor, punishable with a
fine of 81 for each child, and imprison-
ment for one day for each day the child
is so absent. Persons aiding or abetting
such absence, when unknown to the pa
rent Or guardian, are liable to the same
penalties. School boards are required to
furnish necessary books and appliances
gratuitously to children whose parents
are pecuniarily unable to supply them !;
and the money received from fines under
this act shall 90 to the treasury Of the
board, and be applied as other school
moneys. All children are required to at
tend school at least three months in the
year.

KensingtOn Bank Robbery.

On Friday morning the 3rd inst, the
Konsington Bank, Philadelphia. was
robbed Of funds to the amount of $65, 600.
The burglars came disguised as police Of
ficers, informing the private bank watch
men that there was Il plot laid for rob-
bing the bank that night and said that
they were sent from the police head
quarters to assist in keeping watch. The
pretended policeman were then admitted,
when they cody proceeded to gag thc.two
watchmcn, and then admitted number
Of confcderates, who were armed with
burglars tools. The robbers were sue
cessful in securing the above named
amount of money. Desperate efforts
were made to break open the burglar
proof safe, inside the vault which con-
tained millions of money and securities
belonging to the bank The robbers
were foiled in this attempt The police
were notified Of the affair, but up to the
time of going to press have found no
traces of the robbers. The loss falls en-
tirely upon the depositors.

Wanted the Owner of 800 Dollars.

On the 9th of July, 1865, John White
wrote from Memphis, Tenn, to George S.
Thompson, claim agent at Springfield, ILL.,,
requesting the latter to collect the back
pay of himself and brother William as
soldiers in the Eleventh Illinois Regiment
at the same time enclosing his discharge
papers. The letter stated that they had
been in the hospital long time, and
closed thus: ave start for home this
evening, in company that will help us
along so | want you to get our money
as soon as possible, and send it to Capt
James X. Martin, Bunton House, Tcrre
Haute, Ind, and he will fetch it to u.s."
The letter miscarricd so as not to reach
the agent until month later, when the
money was collected, amounting to about
500; and sent by the American Express
Company. Neither the Whites nor Mar
tin could be found, and the Express Co.,
after advertising the package for some
time, sent it to their principal Office in
this city.
Mr.. Thompson, the agent, then de-
manded the money, offering to pay all
costs and charges, and to indemnify the
Company against any claim of the con-
signees. The demand was refused, and
Thompson brought suit in the Supreme
Court. The referee, 7. Sherwood, before
whom it was tried, decided in favor of
Thompson, though he confessed that it
was matter Of great embarrassment to
him to say which party was right in its
claim. His decision was based upon a
statement in Angel on Common Carriers,
that where the consignee cannot be found
then a new contract arises whereby the
Company is bound to deliver to the con-
signor.
The Express Company appealed, and
on the argument yesterday it was con-
tended that Thompson having no prop
erty in tho package or lien upon it, he
had no status to maintain an action for
its delivery to him, and that the Company
was responsible only to the actual owner.
Decision reserved.
