Walking All Night Around a Tree.

Pan Roberts, of this city, who drew from the Government a little over sl,300 arrearages of pension about three weeks ago, purchased a house and lot, but mysteriously disappeared before the deed was made and has not since been heard of, returned this morning. He claims to have no knowledge or recollection of anything that has transpired since he left here, three weeks ago, until yesterday afternoon he found himself ih a swamp ten miles south of this city, having a well-worn path around a tree, which he thinks he has been walking ever since he left here. As soon as he came to himself he walked to Seymour and was sent back to this city by the Township Trustees, after hearing his strange and almost incredible story. He has no knowledge of what became of his money.— Columbus ( In<)) Cor, Cincinnati (fqzette-,
