Bat it appears that the point was very offensive to the boarders, and when all had been packed the women indulged in a little quarrel, using considerable harsh language. A few days thereafter, while cleansing the vacated rooms, a valuable ring, worth] some seventy-five dollars, wasioond in a stand drawer. A polite note informing the late boarders of the discovery of the ring was immediately sent. In reply thereto an express wagon drove up’ to the door, and the expressman presented a written order for the ring. It was not

complied with, as the hostess determined they should come in person. The easel -.was then placed in legal heads by tim ex-boarders, and an attorney addressed a letter stating that nnteas the ring was delivered legal measures would ho taken tor its restitution. At last accounts 4be < ring was inclosed in a box sad then packed in a barrel ready to be sent by an expressman. — Detroit Free Prete .
