AN OLD SOLDIERS GOOD LUCK.-A
German Catholic priest called at the
restaurant of Mr.. Joseph Raiber. on north
Eutaw street, Saturday morning, and in
CURED of that gentleman if he had ever
lost a pocketbook containing consider
able sum of money. Mr.. Ralber, upon re-
ii ction, recalled the fact that in 1865,
while on his way to JOIN his regiment at
Washington, he lost or was robbed of his
pocketbook containing $500 in greenbacks:
He described the pocketbook, and said
that it contained a suffers certificate
issued by the (then) Comptroller, McCub-
bin. The priest thereupon handed Mr..
Raiber the book, which, upon being open
ed, was found to contain 5000; or precisely
the sum lost eighteen years ago. The
priest declined to make any explanation,
but 1t is presumed he received the money
from some conscience-stricken individual
who had confessed his guilt and decided
at last to make reparation.- Baltimore
