FRIGHTENED TO DEATH BY Wis
IONA strange and surprising incident
occurred few days since, in the country
some miles from Corinth, Miss, says the
Caucasian, published at that place. A.
Mr.. Mangrum killed young man dur
ing the war, and few days since Mr..
Mangrum was on a deer drive, and
while at one of the stands he saw an OBJ
ject approaching him which SO alarmed
him that he raised his gun and fred at
it. The object, which resembled a man
covered with sheet, continued to ad-
vance upon Mr.. Mangrum, when he
drew his pistol and emptied all the bar
rels at the ghost. None of the shots
seeming to take effect, he climbed tree
to make his escape. By the time he
was ashort distance up the tree the white
object was standing under him with his
eyes fixed upon him, and he declared
that it was the spirit of the young man
whom he had killed. Mangrum was
startled at the steady gaze of the eye
that he had been the cause of laying
cold in death, so that he tainted and fell
from the tree. His friends carried him
home, the ghost following and standing
before him constantly, the sight of which
brought up the recollection of his guilt
with such force to his mind that he died
in great. agony after two or three days
suffering.

in before the " heated breath of the
fire king. Such period of FIRE, cover
ing and darkening the heavens with
dense clouds of smoke, was never before
experienced. Nearer home we have ae-
counts of the losses created which are
almost innumerable. From the Cnionia
We learn that terrible fires were raging
at the head of Butte, Abiqua, Molalla,
Rock aud Silver creeks. On the 18th
ult., Cedar camp was entirely destroyed,
and the Gerkin boys lost everything, in
Guiding about fifty thousand cedar shin
giles. They fought the fire until they
were satisfied that nothing could be
saved The men, Sam Cornelius, and
two Riggs boys, attempted to make their
escape by the Abiqua route, as that was
the only practicable way. In travelling
they got lost, as it was SO dark they
could not tell day from night, and thus
did not arrive at Silverton until the Fri
day following, being four days and a
half This fire made its appearance at
the lime kiln about the same time, burn
ing everything, green as we'll as dead
timber. Jacob Bales, who lives at the
head of Rock creek, had his barn and
all his hay and grain burned, but sue
ceeded in saving his dwelling. His loss
was about seven hundred dollars. Mr..
Cooper says that at the time he left the
fire was about seven miles long, and
about five or six in width. 1t sounded
like storm at sea. 1t came within half
mile of his place. Teams have since
been there for lime, and report that the
fire had passed by. None of the mep
who were at work at that place remained.
