who had been for a long time with highly
respectable family in st. Louis, left the house
OF her mistress recently, stating that for seve-
raj nights she had been visited by tall, fear.
ful looking spectre, dressed in long white
robe. She got up one night and tried to
strike him, but he vanished out of sight.
Once or twice the ghost was impudent
enough to come and sit on the side of the
poor girls bed Her mistress tried to per-
suade her that her fears were groundless, but
she went away, declaring that she would not
live in house with ghosts.

ANOTHER GOLD VEIN IN GrOReIA.-The At

ANOTHER GOLD VEIN IN GEoRGIA.-The At
lantn (Ga.) American says:
1t is generally supposed that gold veins are
not found out of the mineral belt east of the
Allegheny Mountains. but the Dorm Mine in
South Carolina, and the mines in Columbia
county, Georgia, are evidences that such is
not the fact. Another evidence that gold
veins are not confined to that belt, is to be
found in the newly discovered vein in Merri-
wether county, four miles east of the Atlanta
and W est Point Railroad, on the lands of Mr.
Allen Post. This vein has been penetrated
to the depth of twenty six feet and found at
that depth to be eight feet thick, and has the
appearance of being very rich A Pounding
Mill is now being put up to crush the ore
In lS4S, we learn that large quantities Of
gold were taken from the branches in the vi
cinity of this vein, and extensive search
made, at that time, for the vein.

The cold has killed the turnips, mustard,
lettuce, cabbage, and other hardy winter
vegetables, an occurrence never before known
in this country. A barrel of rain water in
our yard was frozen on the 10th ult, and
Notwithstanding the mild weather since, the
ice did not melt till last Tuesday
From gentlemen who have recently been
hunting in the settlement, we learn that i'm
mense numbers of dead cattle were found by
them, in the neighborhood of Black Bayou.
In the language Of one of the hunters, the
woods are full of dead cattle The cold
weather is supposed to have killed them.

GRAPE GRowING IN CONNECTICUT N
7. Tribune, speaking of late meeting of the
Grape Growers of Connecticut, says:
Connecticut, it was stated, made last year
100000 gallons of wine, and that made with
out sugar took the first prize at the State
Fair, and was pronounced equal to the choi-
cest Rhenish wines. A discussion was had
on the best manner ofpreserving grapes, and
1t was shown that they kept the longest by
laying them down in cork dust in barrel.
and then putting the barrel in cool place.
The Diana, Hartford, Prolific, Isabella and
Concord were the kinds of grapes recon-
mended in their order for cultivation in Con-
neCticut. Several kinds of wild grapes were
also recommended.

A HARD SToRY.-Old Col. B of Am.
herst county, Va, an indefatigable Spinner
of hunting yarns. being one day in company
of his friends boasted that he had few days
before killed large buck, by shooting him
" through the hoof of one of his hind feet,
the ball passing out of his forehead" Of
course doubts as to the possibility of perform
ipg such a feat arose in the minds of his hear.
ers whereupon the Col. called upon his old
servant, Bob, to verify his statement. This
Bob did, by saying that "as de deer raise he
foot to scratch he head, massas bullet pass
through bofe." A short time after, when the
company dispersed Bob turned to the Col.
and exclaimed: For Hebbens sake, massa.
wheneber you tell anudder such big lie,
prease not to scatter dem so; for tell you
what, sir, had hard work to bring 'em to-,

Negro Execution in Clarendon.

We learn from the Clarendon Banner, that
Sam. the property Of Mr.. Thos. Williams, Of
North Carolina, is to be executed in that District,
on Friday, the 28th instant. He was tried and
convicted by q Magistrates Court, on charge
0 fkilling a slave, named Ned, the property Of
Mr.. B. R.. Gibson, of Clarendon District.
We learned several days since, of the daring
outrages and brutalities perpetrated by this
negro upon the person of a lady, and upon her
premises, in the absence Of her husband. but
did not notice them, fearing a mis- .statemeut.-
It seems that he entered her dwelling, and call
ed for the .meat-house keys. These were not
given in a direct way, when he inflicted severe
blows upon her-blows Of a character calculated
to take life. He.was accompanied by another
negro, armed. with o gun, whose purpose it was
to shoot any one who might come along and in.
terfere while the depredations were being com.
mitted. This exceeds anything in the way Of
negro daring which we have ever recorded, as
occurring in this region. 1t is we'll that such
prompt measures were adopted to hunt up in his
s~eclusiou (ssm was Q runaway and bring 10 jus.
tice this abandoned character. -
The Banner also informs US, that George, the
property of Mr.. B.. R. Gibson, was also tried as be-
ing accessory to the murder ofNed. He was con-
victed and sentenced to be hung on the Both Of
November next. In his case an appeal has been
taken.-Sumter Waterman.
