6 THE ATHENS GEORGIAN: JUNE 5, 1877. Detected by a Dream. ....;; 2‘j:. • ,2SUL ail 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.
