The winter winds blew--that bench

STRANGE CONDUCT.

A lady richly dressed arrived in
the Columbu, Union depot on the
Ohio Central last Saturday even
ing whose actions seemed to a
Journal reporter of that city, to be
very strange.
She had not spoken word on
the train on which she arrived, al
though the train crew tried to en-
gage her IN convers alton. Was
there any thing strange about that?
Next, when she alighted in the
Union Depot, she Immediately
proceeded to the ticket Office pur-
chased a ticket to Chicago, asked
MIR. Evans, the agent, when her
train left and thanked him kindly
for the information.
Was there any thing strange a.
bout that
She Immediately proceeded to
the ladies waiting room to a
wait her train. In the hour that
she waited several persons, who
wished to know other peoples bnsi-
ness besides their own, the police
among them, inquired of her where
she wished to so, to which she
made no answer. Two minutes be-
fore her train left she cody walked
across the track and got aboard
her train.
Was there any thing strange a
bout that =?
The reporter says, her actions
created a great deal of comment a
bout the depot.
The people must not have much
to think about if their special at
tention is attracted by a woman
that merely had nothing to
say to inquisitiveness. The re-
porter on the Journal either though
it very strange that woman could
eep her mouth closed and not tell
every thing she knew or he had not
gotten in his requisite amount of
matter for the issue and concluded
to write up a little nothing.
