The HAUNTED GRovE. Y yesterday, ct
IL o'clock, NJ, very singular object Te-
,sembling man, but formed in the body
like an animal of the assisine species, made
its appearance in the presence of two-ser-
wants, in the eastern grove attached to the
residence of DR.. Jones, in this city. zzs
The hideous monster so alarmed the ne
groes that it was with much difficulty they
were persuaded to detail the appearances Of
its body and the direction it was moving
Its motions were swift and its trampsRas 90
heavy that the impression of its hoof, fesem-
bling somewhat that a youuge colts gxas
deeply and distinctly indsnted upon the SOL
id walk. In its bound to clear the house it
struck the chimney Of the residence with
such force as to jarverys much the entire
house. It was black, hairy and hideous
animal, and the negroes are fully persuaded
that it was either his Satanic Majesty or q
representative from the internal regions.
Many of our fellow citizens, the aged and
the young, visited the haunted grove and in
dulged in much serious speculation as to the
object of the animal and its future state. =
Perhaps other shaded groves may be visi-
ted aud more distinct view may be obtain
ed when We may be better prepared: to give
more favorable account of the "hanimal,"
in the meantime, we would advise children,
Tnegroes especially,] to keep out ofthe street

coroner, and the distracted wife of poor old Pete
testified that she heard her husband address the
stranger as Edward D. Wilton, about half hour
before the alarm was given BY Yaudry.' >

She seems to think that she could, said the
sheriff. ... ,.-..

mo doubt of it, SIR = go. ..-...-...s -..y
tThen am perfectly safe,' said D'Vilton, snap
ping his fingers, and throwing himself upon the
lounge; then suddenly starting to his feet he CON.
tinued : My life uEa itl that scamp, Ned
Brown, lie guilty Of this terrible murder
Ned Brownn repeated Milton in surprise !;
then seating himself beside the table, he plunged
at once into deep thought and impenetrable ST.
leuce, as though the sudden charge Of Jude's
guilt had completely overwhelmed him. He had
acknowledged Ned Brown (Jude) as being in his
employ-would not this murder by the servant
commit in some measure, the master? Already
had Jude shot old Loo; already had he drugged
D'Vilton and julius, and abducted Loo. If this
murder was really committed by Jude, and he
should find himself arrested, what would be the
consequences to Claude Milton. To say the least
of it, would not the public suspect the master,
who employed so dangerous an individual as q
servant? And worse than this, would not Jude,
because of the sheer villiany of his heart, beray
his employer, and reveal the blood written histo-
ry of the past, rather than die alone! All these
were terrible thoughts to Claude Milton. ~
An hour after, Williams and Barney arrived
before the front door of the Deserted House; the
former having as the reader will remember, un-
dertaken trip to Mayesville early in the morn
ing to obtain carriage for DVilton. The pres
ence of the sheriff somewhat surprised Williams
while poor Barney felt we'll assured, that that Of.
fetal was 'afther him wild sharp sthick,' and
that D'Vilton had purposely sent for him to de-
liver him up to justice. After an explanation as
to the cause of the sheriff's presence, Barney,
with the Characteristic fire of his race, suggested
free fight all round; and gave it as his opinion,
that the sheriff be jist tumbled dacintly out OF
the windy as o lesson for the likes O. him.
Just as the old sun-dial pointed its shadowy
finger to three two carriages left the premises Of
the old building and were driven rapidly towards
hometown. The first contained D'Vilton, Julius,
Johnston and Duson the other was occupied by
Milton, Barney, Williams and the sheriff. The
old bell in the tower of st. Mary's Church struck
eight, as the two carriages moved slowly along
the dark streets of hometown that night.

How Do Yor LIKE IT?--It being announced that
the Partisan ladies have adopted the style of dress
Of the Court OF the first Napoleon, the editor of
the Boston Post has hunted up description of it,
which is as follows: How do you like it, ladies2
The dress was loose muslin robe, drawn up and
fastened at the right knee so as to show the whole
of the leg The robe passed under the left breast,
which was left entirely naked, and was fastened
above the left hip. Both arms were naked from
the shoulders their length was relieved only by
two bracelets The effect of this dress shall not
attempt to describe, but the gentlemen all allowed
that it was fascinating in the extreme. The ladies
have dispensed entirely with the chemise, as the
folds of it, they say, prevent their elegant forms
from being seen; and the taffeta robes they wear
are suited to display every grace in the most srik-
ing manner.

TERRIBLE HAVOC MADE BY A MAD DoG.-On Mon
daya mad dog got loose in the Ninth Ward and soon
became an object of general terror in the part OF
the Ward where he was. And with reason, too,
for before he was dispatched he bit ten persons,
fifteen other dogs, COW and pig. 1t is feared
his furious foray. He finally killed that even
ing in the Fourth Ward There seems to be as many
(f not more) mad dogs about now as in the sum
mer, and there certainly ought to some effective
steps taken to guard against such scenes and dis
asters happening again as that in the Ninth Ward on
Monday. Some Of the animals bitten have been
killed. but it is feared that some of the persons who
suffered will have trouble 1t is to be earnestly
hoped that such may not be the case.

STRANGIING THE SuLTASAs SoSs.-In n letter

STRANGLISG THE SuLrANAs SoNs.-in a letter
from Constantinoplc, of the I'd, we read:
The correspondent at this place of one of the
French papers having short time since stated
that one Of the Sultan's daughters, married to
Mahmoud Pacha, had given birth to a son, which
was stranged after its birth for State reasons,
the official paper of to-day gives fiat contradic-
ton to the report. The Sultana Djemile, married
to Mahmoud Pacha, was delivered says the jour
nal of daughter stborn. If this be true, it is a
pity the fact was not made known before. The
general impression here has been in conformity
with the account in the French newspaper. Be
this as it may, there is some wonderful provision
of nature by which, with the exception of his sons,
the Suans relatives that come into the world are
all females. 1t has been the subject of continual
observation, that while the Christian population Of
European Turkey constantly augments, the, Mus
sulman, or rather the Turkish element is as con-
stantly on the decrease. Without assigning abso-
lutte murder as one of the main causes of this fall
ing off, there are, no doubt, some ingredients OF
their domestic economy which go far TO solve the
mystery.

EXPLOSION OF A POWDER MILL AND Loss OF LIFE.
The Hartford Free Press Of the 9th inst. has the
following
The Press mill of Hammer & Forbes powder
works, in Scotland, East Hartford, blew up yester-
day afternoon at about 81 o'clock, with an explo-
sion that shook every building in this city. Many
persons ran out of their houses thinking the build
ings were coming down over their heads. John
McGraw and Samuel Smith We're killed. They
were at work in the building pressing the explosive
material into cakes, preparatory to granting it.
1t is supposed too much pressure was applied, but
nothing can be known with certainty. McGraw S
body was found about Il third of mile from the
scene of the catastrophe, with his clothes stripped
from it, and one hand gone and one leg broken.
He was 81 years old, and leaves Il wife and seven
children. Tile body of Smith has not been found.
He was about 2S years old, and leaves a family OF
a wife and three children. The houses in the
vicinity are greatly shattered. The one occupied
by McGraw, some twenty rods from the MILL had
all the windows broken and was badly racked.
There was abont two and half tuns of powder in
