THE ATHENS GEORGIAN: JUNE 5, 1877.
Detected by a Dream.

A Diamond PinUccoYercd from a Dishonest Servant.
[San Francisco Chronicle.)
A singular incident happened in
connection with a theft, in a mansion
on Van N-ss Avenue a few evenings
ago, which spiritualists will imme
diately seize upon as an evidence
that departed spirits arc really wont
to return to this mundane sphere
and exercise their power for good or
evil on the inhabitants thereof. In
the elegant mansion referred to. lives
a lady who has recently been visited
by a sister, one of those fortunate
mortals who is the possessor of dia~
inoud jewelry and gold coin in abun
dance. Shortly after her arrival, the
lady of t he house, for some good rea
son, discharged a female servant and
employed another in her place. A
day dr two after this event, the vis
itor, desirous to go on a shopping
expedition, took her purse, containing
a valuable diamond pin and a respecta
ble amount, of coin, from its place of
security in a drawer and laid it upon
the bureau. She went from the room
several times in making her prei*ara-
tions, and when ready for departure,
the purse with its contents was miss
ing. The alarm was at once given,
and the two ladies, assisted by the
new servant, made a thorough
search. The house was swept, the
furniture moved and every possible
crevice into which it could have fallen
examiued, lmt all to no avail; the
purse had disappeared as completely
as though the earth had opened and
swallowed it. It was late at night
before the search ended, and com
pletely tired out, the household re
tired. In the middle of the night,
t he lady of the house was awakened
by the entrance of her sister, who
was acting in the most singular man
ner and asking constantly for writing
materials. Hernervonssystem seemed
to be highly excited and she did not
appear in her right mind, though it
was not a case of somnambulism.
Paper and pencil were given to her
and she immediately covered the
former with scrawls which were
hardly decipherable. She soon quiet
ed down and lapsed into h er normal
condition, when the two ladies set
themselves to work to decipher the
writing, in which they were finally
successful, finding, however, it all to
be a repetition of the sentence, “ She
has hid it under the stool.” They
decided that “ *he” meant the now
servant, and proceeding to the latter’s
door, they knocked for .admittance.
The girl soon unlocked the door,
whan the ladies- informed Ker that
they couljnmt^fe^ 1 —
51hT~must dress and assist them in a
further search. She grumblingly
obeyed, and as she came out of the
door, the ladies entered. At the foot
of the bed stood a covered stool, the
cover reaching to the floor. Highly
excited, the ladies rushed to it, tipped
it over, and there lay the lost purse,
with its contents intact. The servant
from the outside of the door had
closely watched the ladies’ move
ments, and as they placed their hands
upon the stool, she turned, ran down
stairs, unlocked a door, and rushed
into the street and away before site
could he apprehended, and she has
Upt been seen or hoard of since. So
lar from being a Spiritualist, the lady
is very positive in her disbelief of any
such agency, and, moreover, is- an
Old School Presbyterian, and, in ac
cordance with her religious doctrine,
is opposed to any such theory as spir
itualistic influence. She ascribes the
incident to the fact that her nervous
system was very much overwrought;
that she had been thinking and
dreaming about her loss, and, as there
was no one upon whom the blame
could be charged, she neensed the
servant of the crime, though an appa
rently, unexplained circumstance is
the fact that she hat! never been in
the servant’s room, and knew noth
ing of how-- it was furnished, Tel
facts occurred, however, precisely as
above stated, and spiritualists and
anti-spiritualists will each undoubtedly
he able to furnish jx satisfactory .ex
planation.
