The aurora OR-The introduction
of this oil is destined to work q great
revolution in the lighting world. It
possesses many advantages over all other
means Of light, from the fact that it is
much cheaper than gas or coal oil, is free
from any offensive smell, and best Of all,
nOn-explosive. We have examined it
thoroughly, and without hesitation pro-
nounc it superior to anything extant
for the purposes for which it is recon-
mended. It is also superior to turpen-
tine for paints, oils and varnishes. The

THE HAUNTED HOUSE AT LANES
WILLIE, OHIO.

On Monday night we gave an account of
some strange and unaccountabfe noises
heard at the residence of Rev G. w. Pratt,
corner of Eighth and South Streets. OF
course great deal of curiosity was excited
in regard to the seeming mystery, and all
the old ghost stories almost ever heard of
were told and retold, with gusto that only
showed too plainly how much there Is su-
perstisious in humanity in general. A for
mer resident of the house in question, while
sleeping in the room just back of the par
lor, first floor, one night, some year ago or
more, was awakened and exceedingly
alarmed by sounds he heard which seemed
as though some person was slowly descend
ing the stairway leading from the room he
occupied to the front room up stairs. He
jumped out of bed, and in moment there
after the sounds seemed to be all around his
feet, in front, behind, and at his side. he
then opened the window shutter on the
south side of the house, when the sound
seemed to be on the outside of the building,
and then finally ceased altogether. A
younger brother who occupied room up
stairs became so alarmed by hearing noises
that he at length positively refused to sleep
in the room.
In the present instance these sounds have
been made the subject of inquiry by num-
ber Of persons, to ascertain the probable
cause, and the investigations point unmis-
takably to one thing, and one only. We
mean the large ten inch water pipe, supply
ing main, leading from the Power House to
the reservoirs on the hill, which passea
within few feet of the house. The pulss-
tions in this pipe, st every motion of the
pump at the Power House, can be distinctly
heard in the hill. These pulsations become
stronger or weaker, as the amount of air is
decreased or increased in the air chamber
connected with the pumps. We heard the
sounds about eleven O'Clock, A. NJ, yester-
day, in Mr.. Pratt's study, on the second
floor of the building, and subsequently
heard the same sounds in the water pipe in
the street. The same pulsstions have been
frequently heard by a number of persons
residing along South Street, through which
the main passes, and at first these sounds
caused considerable annoyance Until the
cause was discovered. Where the residence
Of Mr.. Pratt stands, is made ground, earth
filed in to level the lot, and therefore not SO
solid as at other places and better adapted
to conveying sounds.
1t is due to Mr. Pratt TO state that our in.
formation Of this matter was not at first OBJ
tanned from him, but subsequently on in
quiring of him if the sounds were heard, as
stated, he informed us they were. Here
after, when any of the residents along South
Street are disturbed in their slumbers by
trembling sounds, by strong noises, they can
close again their eyes with blissful con-
sciousness that they are the result of the
struggling engine forcing water into the reser-
voirs to supply the citY.-zanssuiIEo Courier.
