A GHOST STORY.-A good many
years ago when Lexington was vet
in its infancy-when in fact few
houses and st"re or two, III that por-
iinn of our city now known as "Ol1
Town." were all that constituted
claim to the appel!ation of town.
there lived here a rolicking young
hlade of a lawyer. whom we shall
call D., and who, bv the way. has
in later years, achieved high civil
and military repntation-the latter
not inferior to thar of the famous
Greek General Exemption himself.
Bnt D. at the time we speak of,
resided in Lexington, and not at the
place he now lives. which, albeit, is
not an hundred miles from here, and
was man Of sprighiliness, popular
manners. and withall remarkably fond
Of practical joke. Aud thereby, as
Shakespeare has it, "hangs a tale" for
on certain occasion his fun loving
propensity got him into scrapc. The
manner was in this wise: A certain
well known citizen, still living, who
resides little distance from town. was
one evening here. and D. knew
he would have to return after night IN
foot through an upfieguented path.
Now it entered his head that he would
play the ghost and frighten him. So
wrapping around him a white sheet.
he stationed himself in the most lonely
place be could find. and watched for
his intended victim. At length ad
vancing footsteps were heard, and
D., stepping forth into the path,
clad in the hahilaments of the grave.
stretched out his arms, and stood full
before him in the path. The benight-
ed man was almost upon this ghostly
spectacle before he saw il; wher,
however, it did break upon his vision.
he stamped short. looking attentively
az the object. ,peering first on one side
and then on the other. to make the
most of it, and then, leaning forward
and pointing to the ghost. he sudden
