Two or three mornings after the burglary leaving the house, he was greatly eurprised to find the lady's cloak, that had been taken at the same time, banging to the branch of anotter tree. Mr. Eads says be never before heard of the trees of Yates Center yielding such peculiar fruit; but all the same the family were very much pleased to recover the coat and cloak.
