occurred last week in the country some
miles from Corinth. A Mr.. Mangum kill

deer drive, and while at n Of the stands
he saw an object approaching him which
so alarmed him that he raised his gun
and fired at it. The object which resem-
bled a man covered with a sheet, contlu-
ued to advance upon Mr.. Mangrum, when
he drew his pistols and empticd all the
barrels at the ghost. None of the shots
seeming to take effect, he climbed a tree
to make his escape. BY the time he was
a short distance up the tree the white
object was standing under him with its
eyes fixed upon him, and he declared that
it vas the spirit of the young man whom
he had killed. Mangrum was so startled
at the steady gaze Of the eye that he had
been the cause of laying cold in death,
that he tainted and fell from the tree
His friends carried him home, the ghost
following and standing before him con.
stautly, 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
