THE GHOST RAISER.

: My. Uncle Beagley, who commenced
his. commercial career very early in the
present century as q hangman, aual tell
stories Among them, he tells his Single
Ghost story SO often,. that I am heartily
tired of. In selfdefence, therefore, pub.
ish the tale, in order that when next the
good, kind old gentleman offers to bore
us with it, everybody may say they know
It. remember every word of it.
One fine autumn evening, about forty
years ago, Twas travelling on horseback
from Shrewsbury to Chester felt tole-
rably tired, and was beginning to look
cut for some snug way-side inn, where l
might spend the night, when a sudden
and violent thunderstorm came on. My
: horse terrified by the lightning, fairly
took the bride between his teeth, and
started off with me at full gallop through
the. lines and crossroads, until at length
Imanaged to pull him up just near the
door rof a neat-looking country inn.
e9-"Well," thought l, s'thore was wit in
your madness, old boy, since it brought
us to this comfortable refuge" And
alighting, I gave him in charge to the
stout farmers boy who acted as hostler.
The inn-kitchen, which was also the guest
room, was large, clean, neat, and comfor-
table, very like the pleasant hostelry de-
scribed by Izaak Walton. There were
several travellers already in the room
probably, like myself, driven there for
shelter-and they were all warming them
selves by the blazing fire while waiting
for supper. joined the party. Present
II, being summoned by the hostess, we
all sat dowh, twelve in number, to a
smoking repast of bacon and eggs, corned
beef and carrots, and stewed hare.
The conversation naturally turned on
the mishaps occasioned by the storm, of
which every one seemed to have had his
.full share. One had been thrown off his
horse another, driving in his gig, had
been upset in a muddy, dyke; all had got
thorough wetting, and agreed unani-
mously that it was dreadful weather.
regular witches sabbath!
3Witches and ghosts prefer for their
sabbath fine moonlight night to such
weather as this"
These words were uttered in solemn
tone. and with strange emphasis, by one
ofthe company! He was q tall, dark
boxing man, and / had set him down in
nv own mind as a travelling merchant or
peddler. My.next neighbor was q gay,
well-looking, Acknowledgement young
man, who, bursting into peal Of laugh
ter, said:
"You must know the manners and GUS
toms Of ghosts very well, to be able to tell
that they dislike getting wet or muddy"
The first speaker, giving him a dark,
2erce look, said:
"Young man, speak not SO lightly of
things above your comprehension
edo you mean to imply that there are
such things as ghosts ?''

AUGUSTA, August 27,

The University difficulty is giving rise
to considerable feeling. 1t it stated that
the speech of student, at the commence
ment exercises, caused Gen. Pope to take
steps to close up the institution, and con-
vert it into barracks, but through the ex-
ertions OF Chancellor Lipscomb, the exer-
cises have been allowed to continue, on
condition, it is alleged, the press OF the
State would not refer to the matter. 1t
is also stated that Gen. Pope has ordered
the appropriation Of $4,000, made by the
Legislature, to be withheld.
Two freedmen in the First and Fourth
Districts are out il addresses to their fel-
ow-citizens, irrespective Of color, as can
didates for Congress. They claim that
the right to vote gives the right to hold
office, and as they are in the majority, the
whites should not be elected by their
votes. The candidates are conservative,
and in favor of universal amnesty. 1t is
probable that q large number of whites
will vote for blacks, i'll preference to whites
who can take the test oath.
The rains of the last two weeks have
been unprcccdcntcdly severe Accounts
from the middle portions of this State and
Southwestern Georgia and Florida, where
the cotton prospect had been so promising,
now give the most gloomy prospects. Con-

and the worm and caterpillar have also
made their appearance. 1t is believed,
notwithstanding the heavy rains, a fail
crop has already been made.

A FAcEmous -REB.-At Johnson's Is

spectators regaling their eyes on the rare
man-show afforded by a view of the pen.
Few of them left with any favorable I'M

NoTnING HAS HAPPENED.-Some years
ago, farmer, living in village bordering
on Berks county, furnished one of his
three sons with sum of money and told
him to 90 West and remain two years, at
the end of which time he should return to
Lancaster, stop at Schofeld's and one of
them would be there to meet him. The
young man started on his travels, and at
the end of the specified time he returned.
1t should be promised that telegraphs
were not then i'll existence, the postal sys-
tenn was not so perfect as it is to-day, and
literary attainmcnts were not SO general,
hence no communication took place be-
tween the parties. He returned, however,
as we said His brother was there to
meet him, and they both proceeded home
ward in buggy. The wanderer, atterre-
lating some of his adventures, inquired
whether anything had happened since he
left home.
"No, not single thing," said the 9th

Republican Party i'm a Bad
Plight.

A new Radical daily paper, entitled the
State Guard, has just been started at Har-
risbnrg, Pa. In an editorial i'll regard to
the approaching Presidential contest, this
language is used: .-.r.
"The Republican party will not be pre-
pared for the great contest of 1865 until it
has purged itself OF the corrupt men VIII"
are practising all sorts of villainies in its
name, as well as until it has disavOwed ad
hpsion to the many nonsensical issues with
which the agitator and the demagogue
have plastered its 'front.'"
This declaration embraces the admission
that the Republican party, by reason OF it
unspeakably great corruption. is in most
pitiable plight. No purgation that it can
put itself to will be sufficient to save it
from the condemnation of the people at the
ballot-box in November, 1868.
