A Haunted House.

The Greensburg Ind. Herald is re-
sponsible for the following account of a
haunted house in that place: 1t says the
house is situated near the railroad track
and has been occupied some time by an
Irish family. The costs makes its ap-
pearauce every night, just as the clock
strikes twelve, and for an hour makes
itself at home by throwing chairs, tables
cooking utensils, &c., about the room in
a promiscuous manner. The family stood
it as long as possible, and then moved
out.
Another family moved in, but got
enough in one night. The owner offered
twenty five dollars to any one who would
''lay' the ghosts, and a young man, pos
sessed of more courage than money, off
cred to do the job He armed himself
and repaired to the house. Just as the
clock struck the hour of midnight a
slight noise was heard, followed by a
groan. About this time doors in the up
per part of the house commenced shut
ting in q mysterious manner. This con-
tinued for some time, when the door of
the room in which the young man was
sitting suddenly Opened, and lady,
dressed in black and deadly pale, stood
before him. He started toward her when
she vanished through the door, and on
going to the door she was nowhere to
be seen. The house, several years ago,
was the scene of a most brutal murder,
ih which man killed his wife by cutting
her heart out. He left the country, and
did not return until the war broke out,
whaii lie enlisted in a New York regi-
ment, and was killed during the storming
of Vicksburg. -era #R

The new addition to A. r, Stewart's S
dry goods store, on Broadway, New
York, corner Of Tenth street, was thrown
open to the public on Monday. The
building is about 2O0xS0O feet, and is
said to be the largest establishment of the
kind in the world. The New York Sun
says: -s...s .
There are upwards of 1000 people
employed in carryingit on. Last winter
there were 1,400 sewing girls on the
books, and there are at least 500 legiti
mate statesmen in these "1S acres of dry
goods" The amount of business done
in the Wholesale and retail departments

We have seen for long time, the Orange
Native Virginian:
"Bide your time said J. @. Ad-

all possible earnestness.
But--sit down here, my man, in this
barrel Of boiling pitch, while pour a
hod full Of Goals into your lap and fasten
a heavy, white iron collar around your
neck. The situation may be unpleasant,
but don't be impatient, for will send a
negro around every half hour or SO to
spit in your face, and will come myself
regularly to abuse you like dog and
tell all manner of lies upon you. Take
it easy, bide your time, and at the end of
four or five years, if I'm entirely satisf-
ed that you have no unkind feeling toward
the negroes and love me-really love me
-as I think ought to bo loved, I'll let
you up and permity you to work for my
benefit, just as you did before the war,
and just as if nothing had ever happened.
