Sydney. Ohio who has passed through
an experience probably never before
known in history. 1t was 50 unusual. so
remarkable, that a complete investiga-
ton of its truth or falsity became an alb
solute necessity. That investigation has
been made, and the surprising truths are
given herewith:

personal call upon some of the relatives of
the young lady, and a so upon many
prominent professional men in Sydney.
