An Extraordinary Incident.

o If we may trust in the matter of the Warsaw Courier, an extraordinary incident has occurred in that city. A lady engaged through the medium of a domestic servants' agency, a young girl as assistant children's maid, her particular charge being an infant of eighteen months. Mariana is a quiet-looking, respectable girl, sixteen years old. At the first sight of the new nurse the infant was seized with a paroxyism of fear. The lady reported the matter to her husband, who was entertaining ten dozen gentlemen, and he sent for the girl. She had scarcely entered the room when a standard lamp blazed up to the ceiling, three large oil paintings fell to the floor with a simultaneous cash, a time piece sprang from a sideboard, and a large wall barometer was hurled across the room and shattered. Seventeen of the guests rushed out and J paid their newspaper accounts. The i only person who remained placidly unmoved by the manifestation was the maid. Before dismissing her the master of the house questioned the girl, who acknowledged that such inexplicable incidents often occurred in her presence. The girl is described as being of a quiet and amiable charapter and disposition, and of blameless reputation. She ig slenderly built and of pallid appearance, and has always suffered from insomnia. She has been handed over to tbe care of the Warsaw psychologist, DrOchorowiz.
