Genuine Ghost Story.

The Mongahela Pa, Republican
says: Not very long ago, the young
and beautiful wife of one of our citi-
zens was called to her final account,
leaving her husband disconsolate.
sad and bereft. She was buried in
the adjoining cemetery, and the hus-
band returned to his desolate home,
but not to forget the loved one
She was present with him by day in
spirit, and in his dreams at night
one popularity of his dreams, and
one that haunted him, being repeat
ed night after night, was this, that
the spirit of his wife came to his
bedside and told him that the under
taker had not removed from her face
the square piece of muslin or napkin
which had been used to cover her
face after death, but had screwed
down her coffin lid with it upon her;
that she could net breathe in her
grave, but was at unrest on account
of the napkin. He tried to drive the
dream away, but it bided with him by
night and troubled him by day.
In despair he sought the underta-
ker, Mr.. Dickey, who told him that
the napkin had not been removed,
but urged him to forget the circum-
stances, as it could not be any possi-
BILE annoyance to inanimate clay
While the gentleman frankly ac-
knowledged this he could not avoid
the apparation, and continual stress
upon the mind began to tell upon bus
health. At length he determined to
have the body disinterred, and visit
ed the undertaken for that purpose.
Here he was met with the same ad-
vice and persuasion, and, convinced
once more of his folly, the haunted
man returned to his home. That
night, more vivid than ever, more
terribly real than before, she came to
his bedside and upbraided him for
his want of affection, and would
not leave until he promised to re-
move the cause of all her sutferings.
The next night, with friend, he re-
paired to the sexton, who was pre-
vailed upon to accompany them, and
there, by the light of the moon, the
body was lifted from its narrow bed,
the coffin lid unscrewed, and the nap
kin removed from the face of the
corpse. That night she came to his
bedside once more, but for the last
time. Thanking him for his kind
ness, she pressed her cold lips to his
cheek, and came again no more.

A Dog Story.

A gentleman by the name of Nc
Latin, residing in Rockingham coun-
ty, New Hampshire, few years ago,
possessed dog that was remarka-
BILE for his sagacity. He one day
told the dog to go and find hand
kerchief which a child had lost in a
distant field while picking berries
The dog started off with his usual
alacrity, but in the course of an hour
or two returned without the handker-
chief, looking as crest fallen as
though he had been caught in
neighbor's sheep-fo The master
cuffed his ears sharply, and told him
to go and try again, and not to come
back without it. The dog started
off with apparent reluctance, while
the master followed at distance be-
hind, and unperceived. The dog
went toward the field where the
child had picked berries, and sat
down on his launches, held down
his head, and appeared to be in q
deep brown study.
He sat in this attitude for perhaps
half an hour, when he suddenly
jumped up with peculiar yell of ex-
ultation, and started for one corner
of the field. Here he stopped for a
moment, and then commenced trot-
ting around the field, going about
three feet from the fence the first
time, about six the second, and thus
continuing to near the middle at each
succeeding circle. He went round
the field about twenty times, when he
jumped into the air with loud yell
Of triumph, picked up the handker-
chief, and started for home.
The veracity of this narrative may
be relied upon. We received il
from Mr. r, a Baptist clergy
man of great responsibility. Now,
did the dog reason mathematically2
Does this not 60 to add proof that
instinct is but another name for rea-
son?

SHERMANs DUPLICATED Plans
The following anecdote of the war
we do not remember to have seen be-
fore: Sherman, on his march to-
ward Atlanta, constantly astonished
the rebels with the facility with
which he restored the railroad bridg.
es they destroyed at his approach
They would annihilate bridge just
before he arrived, and the next morn
ing there it was again, just as it had
been before they touched it. Atlast
light dawned upon them. The
original plans for the bridges had all
been furnished from Cleveland, Ohio.
and before Sherman started he took
those plans, had each bridge dupli
Gated in all its timbers and iron
work, took the pieces in ''shook"
state on his trains, and so, when he
found bridge gone, he had nothing
to do but get its mate out of the
freight cars, bolt it together, and
put it up. This thing worried the
rebels good deal when they found
it out. One day they proposed to
destroy the Dalton tunnell, to hinder
Sherman's march, but an exaspera-
ted Confederate said, "What in the
nations the use? That id old
Sherman prob'bly fetched another
one along with him from Cleveland"

Es 1t is said of Leopold de Meyer;

@ 1t is said of Leopold de Meyer:
"Such genial face you might not find
in many year. His sunny nature
overfows him, and is continually
looking out in smiles, heartier than
most mems laughter, and in merry
wrinkles which sparkle in his eyes,
and warm every heart toward him at
first sight. He seems to be the ver-
table st. Nicholas of whom we used
to read, and hear and dream in our
youth. Hardly does he touch his
fingers to the keys, when all his au-
dience are in love with him. Then he
plays so 1rolly. He fingers the pi-
ane as if he were patting it.. He pats
it soothingly, and then he gives it a
sly dig with his finger to provoke it.
His fingers scamper over the keys like
kittens on a frolic. The genial ma
ture of the man goes out at his finger
ends on the keys, and comes back
from the strings in melody, some
times merry and frolicsome, some
times touching and tender, sometimes
thrilling and inspiring, but always
full Of soul.''

The TROUBLE OF YOUNG MARRIED
COUPLE IN SLEEPING CAR.-The
sleeping cars on the Cleveland and
Columbus Road do not assort their
cargoes. Male and female, old and
young, are left to lay themselves
away, for an extra dollar and half,
on shelves not much larger than
those which grace the pantry of the
guide house wife = and they are
slowed in miscellaneously in the same
car, side by side, with small regard
to the preprieties which decorum
should enforce between the sexes
A correspondent speaks of the
troubles of young married couple
whose berth was opposite his, and
whe decided that the young lady
should occupy the upper shelf, while
her husband was to take the lower
one.
This car was dimly lighted, and
yet the twilight chickering's of the
lamps made many things visible to
the naked eye. We could not, if we
would, help but know, from sounds
and whispers, that the lady had 9
fearful time of it in climbing up tc
the upper shelf-that her hoop. skirt
was formidable obstacle to her ele
walton; being higher at the bottom
longitudinally than the space between
the berth and the upper part of the
car that the husband made fearful
and frantic efforts to crush it down
and that, like Banquo's ghost, il
would not go down.
From all this it will be seen that
this female undertook to take off the
indispensable skirt and undress her
self after she had got in her BERTH
John and the lady made heroic and
energetic efforts to unrebe the latter,
and it was some satisfaction to
know that the labor was finally sue
cessfully accomplished. "Be careful,
John, Don't tear my skirts, john"
and many other remarks heard
through the car, showed that John
was doing MS part manIully In nelp-
ing the unrobing process.
Finally, after the female had got
placed on her upper shelf for the
night, and John on the lower shelf,
we all felt easier, and were Just pre-
pairing to doze, when a new trouble
came to the surface. "John," said
a shrill, female voice, "did you bring
my parasol?" No." said John,
''haven't seen it," "Oh, Lord, John,
then it's left at the tavernl What
will 1 do?" she added in agonizing
tones "D-n it. OLD gal," said an
irreverent old brute, who occupied
the berth under the correspondent,
"never mind your parasol, but use
your parachute. This ungallant al
lusion to the hoop skirt affair brought
out an Unsurpassed snicker. and
then irrepressible laughter.

A Hixhlander,s Honor.

Two centuries ago it was thought
an insult in the Highlands of Scot
land to ssk note from debtor
1t was considered the same as SAYING
81 doubt your honor If parties
had small business matters to trans
act together, they stepped out into
the open air, fixed their eyes on the
heavens, and each repeated his obli-
CATION with no mortal witness. A
mark was then carved in some rock
or tree close by to be remem-
brancer of the compact. Such a
thing as breach of contract, we are
told, was then rarely met with, so
highly did the people regard their
honor, and so truly did they fear
Him beneath whose eye they per-
formed such acts.
When the march of Improvement
brought in the new mode of doing
business, they were often panied
by these Innovations An anecdote
is handed down of q farmer who had
been to the Lowlands and learned
worldly wisdom. On returning to
his native parish he had need of
sum of money, and went to ask
loan of a gentleman of means, named
Stewart. This was cheerfully grant,
ed. Mr.. S. counted out the gold on
his library table. This done the
farmer took pen and wrote re-
ceipt, and offered it to the gentle
man.
"What is this, MANI" cried Mr..
Stewart, sternly eyeing the slip of
paper.
1T is receipt, sir, binding me to
give We back yer gold at the right
time,' replied Sandy.
Binding ye! Well, my man, if
ye Gamma trust yourself, I'm sure I'll
ma trust ye! Ye Gamma ha' my goldr'
and gathering it up, he put it back
in his desk and turned his key on it,
''But, sir, might die," replied the
Gamma Scotchman, bringing up an
argument in favor of his new wisdom,
''and my sons might refuse it to ye
But this bit O. paper wad compel

ed Scot. They'll need compelling
to do right, if this is the road yer
leading them; I'll neither trust ye
nor them. Ye can gang elsewhere

this parish that'll put more faith in

heroes of the Crimean war, died re-
Gently in London. During battle his
right leg and left foot were shot off.
On returning to England he was

life was still further distin guished by
the devotion of the lady to whom he

her from her troth, but she replied
that she would marry what there was

was, and she did. She died in August

The Railroad,

A meeting was called on last Thurs
day evening at the school building
to take into consideration the propo-
sition made by the NJ & c. R. R.
Co., to build railroad TO this place.
M. Bosworth, Esq, was called to the
chair, who stated the object of the
meeting as above, and introduced
Hon. W. p. Cutler, Vice President ol
the M. IL G. R. r. We were not
present, but understand that all Mr..
G. requires of us, is, to take the
bonds of the company he repres ents
to the amount of S350,000 at 7 per
cent. interest, and he will insure the
railroad. Mr.. C. was followed by
H. B. Smith, Esq, and others, all
favoring the project Every citizen
of this county will at once see that
this is a fair proposition, and one
that may never again be offered us
We are sorry to see SO little interest
taken in this matter by our citizens,
when it will have so much 10 do
with the healthy growth ef our town.
There are but few men in this county
who are not in favor of this pro
posed vital avenue of trade and
commerce, but talk will not build the
railroad. If the long suffering to
shippers and merchants, occasioned
by the continued low water of last
season, has not had the effect to stir
up their energies in behalf of the
railroad, we know of no other ap.
peal that will have any weight
There is another class Of men in this
as well as in Gallia county, who want
to see railroad, and they will argue
'that the road will be built anyhow,
whether they assist or not, and that
few months or a few years will
make little difference with them
They either have not the capacity or
will to calculate the vast trade that
must, of necessity, be done on this
road, nor do they, for one moment,
stop to recollect that the whole
country is passing us around and
about by their enterprise, leaving US
like set of fossils, very pyramid
of old fogyism. If there is single
spark of public spirit left more than
has already been brought to the sur
face, in this matter, now is the gold
en- opportunity for manifesting it"
And we venture the assertion, that
never again will we have such fair
proposition made US for a railroad
upon such terms. Don't hang back,
hoping your neighbor will do what it
is your duty to do. bu. let one and
all take hold of the wheel, in this
way alone can we expect or hope for
the success of this enterprise upon
which depends so much the future
prosperity of Middleport and Pom
eroy-Middleport Press.
