MYSTERIOUS BEHAVIOUR IN CHURCH BELL.
The good citizens Of Charlottesville, La, are
greatly troubled Of late by the unaccountable
behaviour OF their church bell. Precisely at IL
O'Clock every night, it begins to toll in the most
solemn manner, and continues for some time,
though not the slightest visible power, whereby
the bell is moved, can be discovered. The
trustees of the church, and others, have watched
several nights, without obtaining a clue to, the
mystery. 1t is supposed. by some, that the
ghosts are amusing themselves at the expense
Of the mortals.
