ANOTHER Moon GHosT.-One muddy
night, during Christmas week, while
we were in the country, mysterious
noises were heard over the house-doors
opening, hollow sounds inside the walls
hoarse voices in the yard, strange grow
ling. and, above all, the ringing OF the
back-door bell, which had not been
heard for years. At intervals, Knight
long, this bell was heard. The sleep
of the household was broken, and ma
nv were the speculstions, at the break
fast table next morning, as to the cause
of these queer noises, especially the
bell-ringing. 1t could not have been
the wind, because there had been much
windier nights, and the bell had never
stirred. Just as we had reached the
conclusion that the Moon ghost had
cmigrated from Albemarle, young
gentleman, who had gone to examine
into the matter, returned and.reported
that the old black hen had selected the
transom, close by the bell, as a lodging
place for the night. Hinc Mae Iachry-

NEGRO SouATTERs. In parts OF Loui-
"a and generally in Fluvanna, negro
nuts are multiplying rapidly. Many
of these7huts are built In the widest
solitudes, mile or more from arabic
land, and accessible only by narrow
nath, which the traveller passes unno-
ticed. They are built in the hastiest
manner, of the rudest materials and re-
semble more the habitations of the beav-
or than the residences of human beings.
Turkey-hunters complain that these
huts are often placed just in the spots
they would have selected as "blinds,"
and that the turkies have been SO har-
raised by negroes that they fly before
the hunter comes within hundred
Yards of them. In these thickets, the
negro children are being reared in alb
solute, almost barbarous, idleness.-
These are the first fruits of Abolition
ism--the beginning of the end.
