Guosr sToRY.-This reporter has had an ap-
partition in truth We have seen ghost. or at
least we saw something Sunday night which We at
first thought was real ghost. We were just co.
tering our dOmici, (t was about the hour,
when IL is said that churchyards yswn, and
hell itself breathes forth contagion TO the
world,) and as our readers are aware ~
was fearful night, no. CLEAN OF light
was vouchsafed us from the heavens-the skies
being covered by dark rain clouds which were
pouring their contents down upon rs with relent.
less fury. Dorbg our walk home not q living soul
crossed our path or obstructed our wsy-not even
metropolitan policeman. But to our ghost, or
rather to our subject. As we ascended the steps
leading TO our room tall, gaunt figure. clad IN
white, suddenly arose before US, and with one
spring grasped us by the throat. laying Its cold.
clammy hands upon our shoulders. An Involuntary
shrek escaped from our lips, whilst our right
hand naturally sought our pistol. The outcry
caused the ghost to relax bis hold upon our neck,
and at the same time aroused every one IN the
house. A light was brought and the mystery nm,
rsveled. A servant bad, through kindness OF
heart truly commendable, placed upon the gal
lery an old mosquito bar for our watch dog to
lie upon. and he mistook us-muffied as we
were-fcr q burglar, sprang upon rs, carrying
with him the bar in the meshes OF which ne hsa De-
come entsneed. Our nerves received quite
shock. but we are now more than ever attached to
our dog.
