A SINGULAR CAsI.-On Saturday night
woman arrived in this city on u b. 4
0, railroad train giving her name as Mrs.
Miller, and claiming to DO q daughter Of
Walker Hunter. who formerly resided on
the Island, hut now lives in the neighbOr.
hood Of Elm Grove. She claimed also to
have been robbed OF some thirty-livc dol
lars on her travels, and was, therefore,
penniless, She rested during the balance
Of Saturday night ut tho lock up. Yes
tcrday morning she applied ut the livery
stable Of Fred HnsemNn, Esq, for con-
veyance, stating that she was q daughter Of
MI. Walker Hunter and wished to be
taken out to his residence. Mr.. lIuscman
furnished u vehicle and driver who took
her to the residence Of Mr.. Hunter.
Mrs. Hunter failed to recognize in the
woman any long absent daughter and re-
fused to acknowledge my maternal rela-
tiOnship, and finally ordered her to leave
the house, which she did, returning to
tho city by the same conveyance which
took her ont. The woman claims 10 have
lived in South Carolina for many years,
and that she has not seen her parents for 20
years, She has two sons, she says, who are
grown up, and that her husband was u
soldier III the Confederate army and was
killedat the battle Of Shiloh, She bears
tho appearance Of n woman of 80 or 40
years Of age aud must therefore have
been married at an carly ngc. She Is
laly.like In conversation and seems to
entertain no doubt Of her relationship to
the Hunters, We suppose; however,
that Mrs, Hunter ought to be able to re-
member whether there Is any probable
grounds for the relationship claimed.
