A Mystkry. Two darkeys had
bought, a piece of pork, and Sam,
having no place to put his in,
trusted the wdiole to Julius' keep
ing. Next morning they met,
when Julius said:
"A most, strange thing happen
ed at my house last night, Sam.
All a mystery to me."
"Ah, Julius, what was dat?"
"Well, Sam, this mornitv I
went down into' the. cellar to get
h piece of pork for breakfast, and

and felt all around but no pork

eye, "See here cully; give us the

Hystericus Disappearance.
A matter has come to our no
tice, which, to say the least of it,
is very mysterious. A colored
woman, living as servant with a
family of our acqusviutance, sud
denly disappeared from her home
Suuday night and has not since
been heard from, When all the
circumstances in the ca6e are
considered, it looks suspicious.
The woman's name is Ellen
Johnson, and she separated from
her husband, Tom Johnson, in
Franklin, some months since.
They had four children, and di
vided them equally. The woman
with her two children came to
this city and hired herself out
in order to msike a living.
The man bothered her consider
bly by letters and messages, and
Sunday night lie came to Ports
mouth and went to the house
where his wife was living..-lie talk
ed with her. privately the great
er portion of Suuday, and the,
wo:p;ui 's reply to his request. to
come back to him, was heard to
fay H at "she didn't' want him.
"anymore." At night' the woman
went to church leaving the man
at home. On her return he re
Vpiested her to take a walk, say
ing that he had something to
say to her which he didn't want
anyone to hear. The :- woman
went with him, but has not
been 'heard from since. 'Her
friends have' searched for in vain.
The matter presents a case for in
vestisration by the city - and
county authorities. Portsmouth
