"Well, if you must know, a :man efi
the name of Loftus, I _met him, at the.
Harphere during -the .trial, ancl he said:
he woad give something to7see . himself

he Was right), that to make Kiueton

it up.- It was more •ray composition
than his, but I did not tell lhjrn so, and
he promised me a guinea w en he saw
it in type; and he paid the i guinea like
a man, .and what was the Wirth in it ?"-
" No sort of harm, Jack," says 71,
"and indeed rather there'verse. I do
anstire you, you shall _never get -into
.trouble about it; but just tell the what
this manwas like."
"Well, he Was rather a down -looking

" Wells yes„ to be frank; hang-dog—
a washed-out, white -brown 'sort of fel-

" No, with no beard." .
"Did you notice anis irnpeditn.ent in

"No. By the by, now'. you men-

self, " I did. It was . -very ... slight;

"Alt right," said I, -"I'm much
ebliged to you. It's net the -man I
thought it was." i.
"And who did you think, it was ?," •
"It's no matter. I have cone .on a

Brighton 'race meeting, for Jack was
not a chapel -goer, far. fromllit—" com-
mand. me." .
. Then I went home more donfident in
my old opinionthan ever. It was Ad-
amson himse-lf (though he new wore no
_beard) who had put that statement into.
the Lewes Express. The cirtestion, .of
course, was, why had he done it? since
nobody:now aecused.him of being athief.
And why should he have .a,dopted so.
elninsy and dangerous a methed of get-
ting his exculpation printed if he had
money at command_ to get it -done in
better ways? - As I. read it; the men,
though he had stolen the • money, had
by no means got it in his peick.et. It
was hidden somewhere nuclei: the roof
of the laand and Glove-, ' and now that
. his character was in the -eyes of the
world re-established, she wbolcl some
day return to take possessioq. •
I.was not fool enough to communicate
these ideas to any one else 'I had , al-
ready experieneed the iticonVenience of
talking, and.i felt that -if I was right in
. my conjecture, the value of it depended.
on my keeping -rit , to myself. Cense-
qnently I bore as-itli much geedhumor
the sly remarks of the other waiters,
and even of the pretty chambermaid

whoin they proeeeded to pity as. an ill-
used and innocent man. If confessed
that I had made a mistake, s ch. as hu-

It was in the autumn nae, and about
ti
s. three weeks before the race meeting,
that a dr. Morton arrived at our hotel
by theevening train, and. asked. for - a
bedroom. _ .What he .couldn't !abide, as
• he told Eliza, (which was the pretty_
housemaid's name, as you may remera-
• ber),.was- the noisesof the . sea at .-night.
He didn't care where he slept; brit the -
room must be at the back of the house,
•' and at the same time airy. Now, the
only room which combined these Ad-
vantages, as it happened, was No. 47. I
did not take much notice of, Mr. Mor-
ton at first, except as respected his
portmanteau, which I thought a very
shabby one for a gent as . was: so • very
partiesdar about his sleeping.: but, as it
happened, it fell to me to Wait _upon

He spoke very little, OCcupyieg him-
self chiefly in smoothing his . black
moustache, which was very fine and
eillty, said in readiug a sportieg -paper.
I noticed that one leg of his, trousers
was patched at -the knee, and Said I to
myself, "There's bricks in that port-
manteau." But that, of cours , was no
business of mine at that tits e, being
only the waiter. '
Before the house, closed he , ant, out

formation received," as the police say;
his moustache had changed its eolor—
indeed,- it was a false one, but that un-
fortimate hesitation in Ilia speech re-
called Mr. Adamson to my recallection
at once. • When . I handed him the
-spirits and water, my : hand sliook • so
that you would have thought I had
taken, any amount of the Sallie reserip-
tiort myself.. To think that ho had
taken the vary same room again—No.

what you niay call the association of
ideas—seemed to cagy conviction with
it. The robial was, I think I have :said,

—no I didn't sleep—I • laid
that night with my door ajar, and lis-

It was a moonlight night, and.l. I saw
him go down the passage in hi S night-
gown as noiseless as a ghost. Then I
heard , something scrape against the
floor; it was the foot of the ladder of
the fire -escape that led up through the,
trap-door on to thereof. "He has hid-
den them there," said I to myself, and
in my.hurry to: follow him I stumbled.
in the passage and fell: When I picked.

He didn't answer a word, but with eyes
wide open and. staring over my sl oul-

the arm, however, a‘nd again asked him
what he was doing in the passa e at
that time of night. Then he dr:w a

A Big Bear Story'.
Several weeks ago, in' the neighbor-
hood of Hottenshaw, in this county, a
remarkable bear hunt occurred. It ap-
pears that Dr. Stanley; while on a visit
to Hottenshaw, expressed an earnest
desire to go bear -hunting, and accord-
ingly one morning he started, in corn-
pauy with Greene French, George Bur-
gess and Joseph Lightfoot. Arriving
at ar thicket, the dogs gave notice of
• their near approach to a bear, and the
party decided to station themselves at
certain points and let the dogs go in
and -drive the bear out. This was done,
but tile doctor becoming impatient en-
tered the thicket himself. The heavy!
undergrowth made his progress slow,
but he fought his way ahead until he
cameito a fallen tree lying in a little
gulch'. Ile/ping himself along by the
limbs, he arrived at the upper end. just

romantio xperience which is worth the

Dubuque, owa, advertised in an eastern
MaSSachwetts paper for a Wife. Among
a swarm • f answers which he received
were two rein two girls in this city,
who repli d 'just for the fun of the
thing.. 01 e of them represented her-
self as a y ung widow, and her lively
account of herself and her circumstances
was very largely fictitious, especially
that whicl told (very incidentally, as
if it was o no cousequencey of the snug
sum of lioney left her by the dear
departed. She never expected to hear

The Won.dertil Magnetic Power
of a little Western Girl.
We learn from a correspend.ent that
there'resides in the vicinity of Harris-
burg, an out -Of -the -way place in Han-
cock County, about three miles west of
Mount Blanchard, a- very remarkable
child only five years old, who seems to
have the power of charming birds at
will. Her mother first noticed this
strange fascivation that the child pos-
sesses about a year ago. The little
girl was out .pla,ying in the dooryard
among a bevy of snow birds, and. when
she would speak to themathey would
come and. light on her, twittering with
the utmost glee. On• taking them in
her hands and strokine them the birds,
instead of trying to get away from their
fair captivity, seemed to be highly
pleased, aud when let loose would fly
away sa, short distance and immediately
return to the child again. She then
took several of them into the- house to
thew her mother, who, thinking she
naight hurt them, took the birds and
• put them cut doors, butno sooner was
the door opened than the birds flew
into the room and lit upon the girl's
head and began to chirp. The birds
renattined about the premises all winter,
flying to the little girl whenever the
door was opened. The parents of this
remarkable Child became alarmed,
believing that this strange powerwas an
ill omen, and that much -dreaded visitor,
death, was about to visit their home.
But death did. not come, and during
last summer the child has had numer-
ous pets from the birds. The child
handles the birds so gently that a hum-
ming bird ouce in her leand,does not fail
to return.
This winter a bevy of birds have kept
her company, and she plays with them
for hours at the time. Every inorning
the birds fly to her window, and
leaves Only when the sun sinks. in the

There is nothing peculiar about the
child's personal appearance except her
wonderful magnetic oyes, -which sparkle
like diamonds. -

superstitious people, and have been
reticent about the matter until lately,
fearing that some great calamity was
about to befall thena.—Forest, . Ohio,

exercise on the quay, converse with two
or three friends I am accustomed to

M. Herault, admiring the good sense

"But," said. the Mater, "if this man
were to fall ill; his income would not be
sufficient for his wants; tell him froin
me that die may count in the future on
a pension of 300 livres from the King."
The Lieutenant, enchanted at being
the bearer of such a message, at once
connnunicated the offer to the impo-v-
erished. gentleman, but could not in-
duce him to accept it. Five hundred
livres, he maintained, were all he need-
ed; and having them- already, he wish-
ed for nothing naore."—sliemoirs of

3EP abreast of the times in the General Reduction in Prices of all kinds of Goods—but
more particularly, if possible, to induce people to buy for cash—I have determined to make the
following reduction in prices to cash buyers in Custom Made Work:
Gents' Long Leg Boots, all kinds, 25 cents per pair.
Shoe Packs and Short Boots, all kinds,12i cents per pair.
Ladies', Boys' and Girls' Boots, all kinds, 1.2k cents per pair.
I have just opened an Immense Stock of Factory Made Work in all the different lines, which 1
think intending purchasers ought to. see before purchasing elsewhere, especially my Men's and
Boys' Riveted Work, which undoubtedly surpass anything in the trade in Factory Made Work. All
of which will be sold at a reduction corresponding with the above to cash buyers. Parties buying
on time will be charged the old .prices. As I am the first in my line in Seaforth to pull down the
prices, I tad the public will show their appreciation. by an extensive patronage, as I am deter-
mined to make it to their advantage to do so.
