man called at his house on Bracket street, ard
asked if Mr.. johnson was at home. On being
told that he was not, the stranger said he had
just arrived from the West Indies and that he
had brought Mr.. johnson some nice syrup, but
he had nothing to draw it off in, and if the
family could hand him anything for that pur-
pose he would bring up the syrup from the YES
sci. 1t happened that Mr.. johnson had some
very nice demijohns in the cellar, and several
of these were carefully washed and handed
him. They were worth several dollars, aud
neither man, demijohns nor syrup have since
