A Wonderful Story. A wouderful Btatement, signed by Mr. J. W. Todd, who is known to many of our citizons,aud by Ilev. James Steele, colored, comes to us from Berry bill township. It appears that in the township named, a col ored man; Jacob Jamison.aged about fifty six years died Saturday morniug at 3 o'clock and was buried Bunday at 11. After he had boen shaved and laid out, curious marks wero observed on his face, and ou closer examination revealed on the right side of his upper lip under the nostril, the letters O. 0. clearly defined. Under the left nostril were traced' the figures 1877. These charaoters are said to have risen on the mans face iu the form of blisters, and to'ihavo been very distinct. This state ment, signed as above, tells that several men saw the strange sight and read the letters and figures, lliv..-Mr. Steele, with whom wp talked in regard to the matter, avers that there is no question about the truthfulness of the story, aud stated far ther that many good men both white and colored, bore witness to the stato of facts herein related.
