the following fearful chapter
HAuxrsD Housx--dnd Astounding Recsiafions
at Caenitre Ronqililo Or Bayou Iorsilon.--0n the
place now occupied by Mr. Landsman alias Fite is
the scene Of strange and unearthly performances.
We have been told that il is now haunted and visited
bysupernatnrai beings strange noises and unnatural
sounds have been heard BY gentlemen Of our parish
Many persous have gone there TO visit the house and
have asked questions concerning various matters and
they were answered promptly by supernatural voices
and strange to say when you ask question you can
not tell from what part Of the house the answer pro
ceeds. Inagine yourselves in this desolafe house
and when you are about TO leave it, you are caught
in the of monster aud held so tight that il Is
impossible to get away until it thinks proper TO re-
lease yon Il has not yet been aseertained whether
this monster u mortal spiritual it takes different
ferns 10 dy II Is one form and tomorrow it is an
other.
And now comes the most remarkable Of all. On
the tomb Of gentleman lately deceased, there ia
placed every day clean plate with dressed
chicken omit, when from behind the tomb comes
large creature in the form of a snake nine or ten
feet long with head something akin TO alligator
and commences leisurely to devonr the delicately
prepared fowl As il finishes, il disappear,
no one knows whittier, and you see nothing but the
plate and the bOnes and every day the same thing
chicken. bat who what places 1t there Is yet be
found out. What are we to think of these strange
rEmors Who knows but what it may be the great
sea serpent there has been much talk Of and Who
tired Of his native element, has found bis way into
the Gulf and up the bayou into the quiet grave yard
placed 10 bis way.
For ourselves intend to visit the of action
after which we may say more on the subject. For
the present i remains a mystery.

night the iunkeeper, armed with poguard stole
into the farmer chamber and prepared to stab him.

per conceived suspicious of foul play, had thrown
himself fully dressed on the bed, without going to
sleep, and being powerful man, he wrested the
poignard from the other, and using il against him.
laid him dead at his feet A few moments after he
heard stones thrown at the window, and a voice.
which he recognized as that of the inkeepers SON.

that the father and had planned his murder and
to avoid detection had intended burying the dead
body at once. He thereupon wrapped the dead body
in sheet and let it down from the window he

TALLADEeA CAVE IN ALABAMI.-B Brother Hardy,
Of the Selma Sentinel, has been bobbn around in
the upcountry. Among other things he visited the
Talladega cave. he gives the following description
Of it.:
This cave which is well known to the people Of the
western part of Talladega county, is situated imme
diately on the road from Fayetteville TO Taladega
town. and about six miles above the present terminus
OF the Alabama aud Tennessee rivers railroad. The
opening, or mouth. il OF an oval FORM and goes d.
rectly down some fifteen feet, then the vacuum, or
opening takes a northern direction with gradual de-
scent for about 200 yards, where there is another
mouth abrupt descent, OF twelve fifteen feet at
the bottom OF which there is fine, bold stream Of
water Astounding in FISH of all kinds aud sze and the
larger number are without eyes. The inside of the
gradually wideDs, and it is said that it has been
explored some mile or two without coming to any
stopping place. All along the bottom of the cave
there are numbers Of formations resembling cypress
knees aud from the top they give the appearance of
icicles, formed, probably by tue waters dripping
The entire formation Of this is Of the greatest
cnriosties, and will well pay for the time and trouble
to any one fond OF natural curiosities. Ii is the
largest cave in the South.
