Family.—There is a family by the name of Scott, living at Marlborough. Sierk county, Ohio, c*msist ing o! Mr. Sc tt aivl tvife, two sn* ami five dnughters. and several sons-in-law and grand-d.ioghlers. Owt o( tlw whole number there are six or seven mediums. One them, an old maid, predicted i« lH5i that i famine would oeeur. com* inencing in worse til 18-36, and the earth would not gain its productiveness till the end of sev en years. They accordingly went to work storing provision* *o Ust them through, expending their means in the purchuse of a great variety ol articles. As they claim to be perfectly at home iu any person's Uouse, so they tell visitors they can enjoy the saine privilege. Our informant, therefore, went through the residence of tho old man, and saw the preparations for the years of famine. Six hundred bushels of wheat were stored iu one place twenty-five bushels of benns, raised on ground erected by the spirits, in another fifty bushels ol buckwheat, beets, potatoes, pork, apple-sauce, in sho.t, every article that a well regulated housewifa could desire to make her house comfortable. Two of the girls had a stock of millinery, which they sold otl, and ex pended the money iu the necessaries of life. One of them calls herself "Old Joe," because, like Joseph of old, she has prepared for famine. Her dress, made by direction of the spirits, is one ot the oddest coverings ever prepared by a human beiug. It somewhat after the Bloomer fashiou, with the pants left ofT, of yellow coarse with huge scollops ruuning along the bottom, ueck aud sleeves. She also wears a sack of the sa'ne grotesque pattern. Her bonnet of straw is ornamented with two ostrich leathers, fastened on either side, looking like two huge cars. It is altogether the strangest family we have ever heard of, and shows spiritual ism in a new pba«j. —Plaindtakr• ScA!*n*i.—Some months ago, in a place about five hundred miles from this city, lived a man, (or toing in the shape of a man,) with a very affectionate, fond and loving wife. The wile, judging b\ nppearanres, had becu born, reared and educated a lady. She thought she dis covered a little too much familiarity be tween her husband and a servant girl, and she consequently dismissed tlie girl from her employ. The day following the dismissal, her husband disappeared, and with him nearly all the lady s cloth ing and jewelry, worth several hundred dollars. Time rolled around, and she fi nally ascertained that her husband was iu this city. The lady came here, when lo, aud behold! up »n calling at her husband's bouding house, the first person she met was her former servant girl, attired in the stolen silks and satins, and also Jiad the lady's jewelry on her person. The ser vant pretended not to recognize her.
