EVENING STAR. THRILLING INCIDENT. Midnight Adventure ef a Bride Elect—Ex- traerdinary Revel. Women pees! pee resence of mind, and the power of self control under circumstances of imminent peril. which seem almost fore to their nature and beyond the endurance of a delicate physical organization. A striking in- stance of self command, by a lad: ose fears | been pmntaty emsited, — juence probably never fore gr m her nerves any severer test than is inci- to the vexations of domestic cares, is given in Chambers’ Journal for October. We copy the poor Seer = oy eee of ex- jlanation that the lady was the ghter of a Teeter residing in a quiet —— country vil- lage, and pon the eve of marriage : jay was to be on the morrow of that on which our adventure happened. Grand preparations were made for wed- ding: and the rector’s fine old plate and the oly gifts of the bride, were discussed with pride and pleasure at the Hare and Hounds, in the presence of some strangers who had come down to a prize-fight which had taken place in the borhood That night, Adelaide, who occupied a sepa- rate room from her sister, sat up late—long after all the household had retired to rest. She had had a long interview with her father and bad been venting achapter to which he had directed her attentign, and had packed up her jewels, 4c. She was, consequently, still dressed when the church clock tolled midvight. As it ceased, she fancied she heard a noise liko that of a file; she listened, but could distinguish oth ag eeeaty: It might have been made by some of the servants still about, or perhaps it was only the creaking of the old trees. She heard nothing but the sighing of the winter winds for many minutes afterwards. House- breakers were mere myths in primative Thyn- don; and the bride elect, without a thought of fear, resumed her occupation. She wasgazing on a glittering set of diamonds, desti to be worn at the wedding, when her bedroom door softly opened. She turned, looked up, and be- held a man with a black mask, holding a pis- tol in his hand, standing before her. She did not scream; for her thought was for her father, who slept in the next room, and to whom any sudden alarm might bedeath; for he was old, feeble, and suffering from heart com- plaint. She confronted the robber boldly, and addressed him in a whisper: “You are come,” said she, “‘ torob us. ye your soul the awful guilt of murder. My father sleeps next to my room; and to be startled from his sleep would kill him. Make no noise, I beg of you.’’ The fellow was astonished and cowed. “We yee make any noise.” he ac sud- denly, ‘if you give us everything quietly ” ‘Adelaide drew back par hice take her jewels—not without a pang, for they were pre- cious love gifts, remarking at the same time that two more masked ruffians stood at the half opened door. As he took the jewel case and watch from the table, and demanded her purse, she asked him if he intended to go into her ta- ther’s room. She received a surly affirmative: “ he wasn’t aging to ran all risk and leave half tin behind'’’ She proposed instantly that she should go herself, saying; ‘I wiil bring you whatever you wish, and you may guard me thither, and kill me if I play false to you.”’ ‘The fellow consulted his comrades, and after a short parley they agreed to the propo- sal; and with a pistol pointed at her head, the dauntles girl crossed the passage and entered the old rector’s room. Very gently she stole across the chamber, and removing hia purse, watch, keys and desk, she gave them up to the mage poceeh — rr re “age The old man slept ‘ully and calmly, thus guarded b: his child, who softly sbut the gril and ae manded if the robbers @ yet satisfied. The leader replied that they should be when they had get the show of plate spread out be- low, and that they couldn t let her out of sight, and that she must go with them. In compli- ance with this mandate she followed them down stairs to the dining-room, where a splendid wedding-breakfast had been Jaid to save hurry and trouble on the morrow. To her surprise, the fellows—eight in numbor when assembled —seated themselves and = to make a good meal. They ordered her to get the wine, and to cut up her own wedding-cake for them - and then, seated at the head of the tuble, she ——— to preside at this extraordinary revel. They ate, drank, laughed and joked; and Adelaide, quick of ear und eye, had thus time to study, in her quiet way, the figures and Voices of the whole set. When the repast was ended and the plate transfprred to a sack, they prepared to depart, whispering together and glancing at the young lady. For the first time Adelaide's courage gave way, and she trembled; but it was not a consultation against her, as it proved. The leader approaching her, told her that they did not wish to harm her—that she was “a jolly wench, reg lar game,” and they wouldn't burt ber, but that she must swear not to give the alarm till nine or ten the next day, when they should be off all safe. To this, of course she was obliged to assent, and then they all insist- ed on shaking hands with her. she noticed during this parting ceremony, that one of the ruifiang bad only three fingers on the left hand. Alone, and in the despoiled room. Adelaide, faint and exhausted, awaited tho first gleam of daylight, then, as the robbers did not return, she stole up to her room, undressed and fell into a disturbed slumber. Jhe consternation of the family next moruing may be imagined; and Adelaide's story was still more astonishing the fact of the robbery itself. Police were sent for from London. and they, guided by Adelaide's lucid description of her mid- night guests, actually succeeded in capturing every one of the gang, whom the young lady had no difficulty in identifying and swearing to—the “ three-fingered Jack’’ being the guid- ing clue to the discovery. The stolen property was nearly all recovered, and the old rector peep payers with truth—that he owed is life to the self-posseasion a: j his eldest daughter ae only ill effect of the great trial to her nerves was a disposition, on the part of the young heroine to listen to midnight sounds, and start uneasily from troubled lho but po and ghange of residence soon effected its The Brooklyn (N.Y) Unitarians are ra Len oe spn ee. the performance of Mewes. rs’’ baviug aire: been latrod of their churches. * eee te sevetas UF The St. Louis Insurance Compa: announced that its fire rates will be pit ps Per cent, on the ground that the introduction of steam fire engines has diminished the risk.
