Illinois Ghost Story.-We learn
from the Charleston Coles county,
Courier, that there has been a great
excitement in that usually ~peaceable
town. Somebody saw a ghost while
night walking, which told him that
three murders had been committed
at a certain house, and that the bodies
had been thrown into a well, which
had been filled up. A company col,
Iected and commenced disemboweII-
IN the old well. One days work was
done, and the bones of a hog had
been found, which had come ints the
world for the purpose Of having lis
throat cut. The workmen having
left, some mischievous wag dropped
into the pit the bones Of an Indian
which had been found in the neigh
borhood, and which had been preserv-
ed by some man curious in such mat
tiers. The digging was resumed in
the morning, and these bones we're
raised, to the surprise. and TO the per-
feet establishment and horror of all
present--with the exception of said
wag. Arrests were Immediately talk
ed of-afidavits were about to be got
up--when the facts leaked out, and
the good folks at Charleston had not
finished laughing at each other at the
last dates.-[Sangamon journal.
