A GHOST SToRY.-They have Ghost, or
something in Abemarle, which appears to be
decidedly rum 'un - His ghostship is I'M
pervious to minnies, pistol balls, and SUCH and
regards them no more than if they were fred
into the thin air, instead of at his spirit maj
esty." The theatre of his operations is the
dwelling house OF Mr. John S Moon, from
incnt citizen, living near ScottsylIlr, a'd the
story goes that the Ghost has visited the prem
ises for upwards Of thirty consecutive nigh
auto last Wednesday, the latest accounts w
have from him The house has Teen unlel u
strong armed guard for the most OF this llmc'
and yet the Ghost eludes them, and passes INTO
the building either through the door, or the
windows as may suit his fancy. AS we have
stated, it regards not bullets, having been re-
peatedly fired at without effect, with The mu2
zIes OF the guns almost touching IT'S brea'l'
Amid storm Of balls the ghost walks about as
unconcernedly as if there were no other person.
beside himself in the word, visits all parts OF
the house, and when he Is satisfied, walks
away. His ghostship, it appesr5, is not above
handling carnal weapons, Tor on Monday or
Tuesday night Of last week, a Miss Tompklns,
an inmate OF the house, fired twice at linn with
pistol, and the fire was returned, Miss 1 be
ing struck in the forehead with the ball from
his weapon, but not much hurt. His ghost
ship has been seen by numbers beside MIR.
