40 much that he says he would not be

"a ahort time ago." said MIR. Eddy, 81
was at work with my men in q large field,
cutting up corn and setting it up in
-tooks. In the evening, while at supper,
noticed that my ring was gone. II was
lost, but whore ard when, / had not the
slightest idea. But to have lost the ring
worried Ine. Now, am no spiritualist,
nor medium, nor do believe in ghosts,
nut es true as you live, that night in my
deenmB, or at all events in my sleep,
somebody came to me and told me Just
where the ring was and showed me the
exact spot where I could find it. The
next morning, being Impressed by the
vision, or whatever you choose TO call it,
of the night before, went straight into
tho cornheid, in the direction indicated,
and amid surrounding objects made 70.
miliar by my dream, until, recognizing the
every stock OF corn that had been shown
me, removed it, and there, pressed into
the ground by the butts of the stalks, was
my lost ring, just as it had been shown
me in my sleep. know this seems like
strange story" said Mr.. Eddy, shut il
is true, and / tell you it would take Q
good deal OF money to induce me to part
with that ring
Here ia another strange Incident: There
is an aged widow living in the near sub
urbs of Saratoga who has q wonderful
gift or faculty for finding lost and es.
pecially stolen articles or money. A
notable instance of her remarkable gift
has just occurred. A few days ago q
young woman servant in wealthy fam
lily, being about to leave her place, was
paid 500 in money, 1t being the wages
due her. The next day she discovered
that her money was gone, but whether
lost or etolen she could not tell. After
several days, during which many vain at.
tempts were made to find or recover hel
money, the girl having heard of tins
witch woman" as she is called, went tC
her, and simply sRid: "Mother, l have
lost $50; help me to find it." The old
lady regarded her for moment, and
then as in trance, without speaking Q
word, put on her things, and taking the
girl by the hand, walked silently and
swiftly to the residence OF the family
where the girl had recently been EN-.
ployed. On entering the house and
living room of the family, young man
sitting there was peremptorily told 10
take OF shoe and stocking and submit
to search. He did 30. On removing his
stocking 1t was observed that there was q
bandage about the limb, reaching we'll up
from the ankle, as though put there to
reduce sprain. The old lady tore off this
bAndage from the limb, and shaking ii
out, there fell from its folds the identical
$50 which the girl had lost--s $40 and
two $40 bills.
This is only one Of many instances Of
the wonderful faculty of the witch
woman" for finding lost and stolen arti.

doea it, but suspects that "somebody does
