AIbemarle Ghost.

About two months since we were in Freder-
icll county, Va. We there met with Mr.. A
braham Myers, who seemed to take a great
deal of interest in the Moon Ghost. He was
an intelligent Though we think somewhat &C.
centric) gentleman. He spoke earnestly and
huently on the subject. and averred that if the
three last chapters Of Daniel were red aloud on
the premises the Ghost would disappear, at
least for time. On cur return home we made
this known. The chapters were read and the
Ghost ceased operations; but within the past
few days he has commenced in full blast
knocking out windows and acting as badly and
as tearlessly as ever III
Mr. Myers, who is a wealthy gentleman, re-
quested US, in case the Ghost returned to in
form him, and he would come over and silence
him forever. Of course, 1.-The honor and
glory of dispensing with the Ghosts services
for all time will compensate Mr.. NJ. without
any extra charge. We shall look for him.
