OUR STATE AFFATRs.
A Haunted House.

They have "haunted house near
the Barracks " at Nashville, which hiss
considerably embarrassed some of Uncle
Sans soldiers stationed there, one of
whom, Andrew J. Myers, Co. F, 45th U.
s. Infantry, narrates the following:
In company with four other soldiers, I
started for the residence of her unearthly
majesty. Arriving, we examined the
premises Thoroughly, including the cellar,
but could discover no sign of any natural
or supernatural being. Returning to the
ante-room, two of our comrades left US
and proceeded to the city, while the rest
of Us determined to remain and see the
ghost. The night being chilly we built 8
fire in the fireplace, and then sat down
and began to tell stories to pass away
time. Being sleepy, L soon fell in the
arms Of Morpheus. L know not how
long slept, but / was suddenly aWak-
ened by strange sensation; a strong
blast of wind, commencing at the north
side Of the building, ciFcled above our
heads, and was succeeded by an unearth-
ly light, rendering the smallest object
visible in the room. At this stage of af-
fairs, perceived my two comrades MAX
ing for the window, and = few mo-
ments afterwards they were lying
sprawling upon the ground beneath.
l am unable to account for their sudden
departure, but can only impute it to the
spiritual (?) influence under which they
laboTed. On turning from the window,
my attention was attracted by female
figure gliding nOiselessly towards me,
and stopping within two feet of me, laid
its pallid hand upon my left shoulder. /
,A oh I
was not yet convinced that the being be-
fore me was not human. I demanded an
explanation, and receiving 80 answer, l
drew my bayOnet, and made three passes
at the apparition, but without ,suecess,
the bsyOnet each time passing through
the figure with the same result as if it
passed through the air. Finding that
weapons were useless, began to use my
tongue in rather s repulsive manner
whereupon the figure Immediately dis
l then turned my attention
to my fallen comrades, who were still on
the ground. Jumping out of the window
and restoring them to their senses, l en-
deavored to persuade them to accompany
me into the building, bat in vain; they
''would not go for thousand dollars"
The Post Register says that previous to
the late war 8 gentleman, whose name is
was living IN Nashville with
his family. He had some property in his
own right; but in addition to this, be-
quest of money was made to his wife, by
some of her relations. By the testament
Of bis wife, this money was made over to
their children at her death; and the
money thus willed was invested in the
building now known as the haunted
house."
The funds proved incommensurate |
with the undertaking, and the house was
never fully completed. During the war
1t was fitted up, and used as a hospital, |
since when it was rented to various par
lies, until none could be found who would |
occupy it at any price.
The property is in ehancery, where it |
Is likely to remain until the heirs are of |
age, while, in the meantime, the build |
ng is fastening to ruin and decay.
