AN INGENIOUS DETEcr1vE.-The fol-

He was sent for to inspect house
which had been entered by burglars.
After careful examination of the locks.
ne pronounced that it was SO cleverly
done that it could have been affected
by only one of three or four men who
were skilled in such work. Thereup.
on he returned to town and visited
one of the houses where thieves resort.
Entering into conversation with those
he found there, he asked, casually,
where's such a mani" adding "I
don't see X" And presently 1t came
out that one man whom he knew by
name had not been seen since the day
of the robbery. His next step was to
visit the different coach-ofices. and af-
ter some inquiries made in vain he at
last discovered that man like the
one in question had gone down with
luggage to Oxford the day after the
robbery. He took his place for the
next day, and when arrived at Oxford
set about tracing him in this way.
de dressed himself very shabbily, and
visited the different little inns in the
outskirts of the town, saying at each

weeks ago there came to Truckec a
young man named CASTILLO, who
claimed to be gypsy and fortune
teller. He called on a great ma y

ing from so cents to $5. Among 9th

colored man, whom he informed that
his wife was not just what she ought
to be, that she was too familiar with
some of the white men, &c. This the
colored man told his wife yesterday, a
short time afterwards. She did not
say anything at the time, but as soon
as her husband had gone away. she
sent a man up town for the GYPSY"
saying she wished to have her fortune
told. With the expectation of max
ing a piece, CASTILLO went down imme-
diately. The door opened almost as
soon as he knocked, and he was con-
fronted with six shooter, behind
which stood an enraged negro woman
with rawhide. She commanded him
not to move or she would shoot him in
his tracks, and amid cjacnlations of
"stand dar," she belabored him over
the head, shoulders and legs in a
manner that showed him she was much.

WE have seen rainbows from child
hood in almost all quarters of the heav
ems; but rainbows in circles at midday
we submit are little out of common
order, and somewhat different from the
manner in which they have been got
ten up heretofore. Sunday at high
noon there was a circle around the
sun containing the brightest hues oi
the rainbow. 1t was none of your
dim, misty affairs, such as is seen on
days when the atmosphere is hazy, but
bright and brilliant, and this was not
the strangest part of the phenomena,
for there was another bright, seven
colored ring which ''overlopped the
first, its edge almost touching the sun
Hundreds of persons were gazing at
it with astonishment until it faded
away out of sight. The believers in
omens had hardly got their nerves
quieted when the phenomena appeared
again in the heavens, yesterday after
noon about 4 o'clock, in little differ
ent form. This time it appeared as a
half circle about twenty degrees west
of the zenith, shining as brilliantly as
before. Now, in all our experience we
never before saw rainbow and the
sun in the west, both. at the same
time. There were some who prophe-
sled that it forboded tremedous
storm, or more serious things, such as
he end of the world. Some thought
t was a sure sign of famine, while
others were just as certain that it
oretold the coming of war and pesti-
ence. but whether it forbodied any or
Ill things, we would like some scien-
ific man to tell us what was the cause

A WIZARD OUrwrrrED.-At the hotel

A WIZARD OUTwITTED-At the hotel
in Dover tie other night, a gentleman
from Baltimore was entertaining
crowd of men who had rather rural
appearance about them, with what is
known as tricks in slight-of-hand.
The crowd watched him with eager
ness place silver pieces in the palm of
his hand and cause the same to disap-
pear without any apparent action on
his part. Glasses were emptied and
filled with water as though by spirit
hands, the clock swayed to and fro
on its fasteninss, and other feats
equally as remarkable We're performed.
Finally one of the crowd, a man
named Potter, with his breeches
tucked in his boots, sidled up and
asked for the watch of the man of
tricks, for the purpose of showing him
a trick that was worth two of his
own. The article was handed over.
He showed it into his trowsers be-
tween the waistband, and then told
the Baltimore gentleman that he could
not find it, and he was as good as his
word, for up to late hour yesterday
afternoon the watch, fine gold hunt
ing case, had not been found, although
the man was stripped five minutes af-
ter the occurrence. Esquire Dickson
held the offender to bail in the sum of
$500, but it is certainly a mystery
what became of the watch, and more
to the man who was beaten at his own
game than anybody else W1. Er.

NINETEEN hundred years ago there
was great disturbance in Jerusalem
about the water supply. which was
not sufficient, and the Roman Cover
nor, who was anxious to get a proper
supply to the city, proposed to bring
it from distance of fifty miles. The
Jews refused the money for the pur-
pose, whereupon the Governor-Pon-
thus Pilate-seized upon the sacred
treasury, and made an aqueduct
through the solid rock, thus carrying
water to Jerusalem, and this exists 10

HUNG BY A MOB. Since the con-
fession Of Shuck, who was hanged for
the murder of his father-in-law, times
have been exceedingly hot for his CON-
panions in crime in Henry county.
King Jim Simmsns, the leader of the
band that has been such terror to
that part of the State, was arrested on
Shucks' confession. which implicated
him, as were, also, Robert, Samuel,
and Joseph Goodrich, and Dave Car
ter. The latter turned States evi.
dence, and corroborated the statements
of Shuck. The four men named above
had their preliminary trials, and were
sent to Jail without bail. But the in.
furiated citizens, tearing that justice
would take its usual tardy course, and
perhaps finally end, after all the wit.
nesses are dead, in an acquittal, took
Jim Simmons and the Goodriches from
Jail and ornamented neighboring
bridge with their foul carcasses. The
murders that have been committed by
these men are surprising, both in mum
Der and atrocity, aud the verdict of the
public will be in favor of the mob that
meted out vengeance to them.
