The Man in White.

The following extraordinary story is
told by the Richmond ERQ0irer:
The inhabitants of that quiet locality
known as "Butchertown" have had their
security disturbed lately by the appear
ance OF ghost-a veritablc ghost
clothed in the cerements of the grave,
and whose hands are as cold as ice. 1t
made its appearance in this way. ~
few nights since young lady went to
her room, and on opening the door and
entering she was confronted by II spec
trail appariton in the form of man,
clothed in white, whose breath was cold,
and whose presence eXhaled an earthly
odOr. She was very much frightened.
and spoke to it. When she did so il
vanished, whittier she could not tell,
and nothing more was seen of it that
night
She went to bed. and the next NOR
ming communicated to the family what
she had seen. They were incredulous,
but cosented to so up with her TO her
again be visible. Accordingly about
the same hour at which it had been seen
the previous night, they went up. The
room was dark, and the young lady,
who must have been a brave one, was
the first to enter. She put out her hand
10 light match, when it was seized by
the ghost. whose hand was as cold as
ice. She shrieked and fell down in q
iainting fit. The persons with her
struck light, and saw an unear.hly
apparition standing in the middle of
the room. Ii remained stationary for
perhaps minute, and vanished. No
one could tell how it got out of the
roem-whether it went up the chimney.
out of the window, through the key
hole, no ono could see. The young la
by was attended to, and recovered in
due time from her swoon. The affair
has created great excitement in the
neighborhood. The officers who "laid"
the Albermaric ghost should be ap-
pealed to for assistance.

Dreadful Calamity.

The Louisville papers Of the 9th, con-
tain accounts of the death of the Rev.
BENZ. j. SPAULDING, under the follow
ing sad circumstances:
Our whole community was surprised
and deeply grieved to learn that the
Very Rev. Benz. J.. Spaulding. Admin
istrator Of this Catholic Diocese, died
at six o'clock last evening. The man
ner of his death was most heart-rend-
ing. He retired at his accustomed hour
10 his sleeping apartment in the Bish-
ops house at the Cathedral on Monday
night. About II o'clock Father Bou-
Chef. whose room is just underneath
DR.. Spaulding's, heard him out on the
gallery, and groaning as if in great bo-
Oily pain. Father B. fastened up stairs,
when he found to his infinite horror and
establishment that DR.. Spaulding's bed
was on fire, and that the Doctor had al
ready been dreadfully burned, and had
plunged himself into the bathtub in an
adjoining room, where he was suffering
the intensest agony. When Father Bou-
chet sufficiently collected himself he
threw the burning bed clothes out of
the room and helped DR.. Spaulding to
another apartment, placed sheet about
him, and made him as comfortable as
possible. Drs. Grove and Force were
called in and used every exertion in hui
man power to relieve the sufferer; bui
he continued in the acutest pain until
nc expired at six o'clock last evening.

Tho German Benevolent Society Of Ottawa
celebrated their 14th anniverssry yesterday BY
q picnic in Hoes Grove, winding up with ball
in the evening. They were joined in their festiv.
tiles by the German Turner's, the Ottawa Lieder
Tafel, and the Tailor's Union. All formed, at
about 10 o'clock, in . grand procession, and
marched from Turner Hall to the grove, present.
ing vsryIbeautiful appearance. The process
sion was led BY Denhard's Brass Band: then
came a carriage with officers and speakers; then
tho Turner's in uniform: then the Liedertafel
then the Tailors' Union ; the Benevolent Society,
all in beautiful new regalia, bringing up the rear.
The exercises at the grove consisted of an oration
in English by julius Avery, Esq, a speech in
German, by Prof. Hagenbach; vocal music by
the Liedertafel and singing section of the Turner
Society; and instrumental music by Denhards
band. Then of course there was an abundance
OF eatables with beer, wine, &c. the party en-.
ioying itself richly, as the Germans always do on
such occasions, until nearly evening at the
grove.
The Ball in the evening was we'll attended,
but our pape, went to press at too early an hour

The Cattle Plague.

The call for meeting OF the farmers of this
county, to be held ut Ottawa on Saturday, Sept.
9th, at . o'clock p. NJ, appears in another col
ulan, the object of the meeting being TO take
steps to prevent the spread OF the Spanish fever
among the cattle of this county. The disease is
evidently extending with fearful rapidity, and
the most prompt and vigorous steps are necessary
if we can hope to escape its ravages in this
county.
Oar readers will find some speculations under
our agricultural head, by favorite correspon-
dent, in reference to the cattle disease which, if
throwing no new light on the subject will at
least be found very pleasant reading.

Now such has not been our intention. We have
three or four other hotels in this city that are

Park House. as at present kept, ,s certainly q
hotel Of which no city need be ashamed !; and the

in any city be called well kept second class
houses, that We can honestly recommend TO trav.

RIPE CoRN.-On Monday, Judge Cation laid
on our table an ear of common field corn of this
years growth that was, he said, a fair specimen
of nearly the entire field, and which was certain.
ly beyond the reach Of frost. The corn was
planted at the usual time, whence we infer that
most OF the corn in the county is equally forward.
The corn crop in this region is the heaviest we
have had for years, the only danger now left for
it being early frost; and as, from the above that
danger seems already over, we can safely say
that in this portion Of Illinois splendid corn
| crop this year is assured beyond contingency.

THE New GooDs of Scott, Houtz & Co. came
just in time to catch the opening tide of the fall
trade. They are certainly doing asplendid bus.
mess, not only on account of the general i'm
proyement in trade, but because their goods are
really very superior and sold at reasonable prices.
They are merchants who seem thoroughly to un.
derstand their business, and by their general
pleasantness and urbanity of manner, and fair
and liberal dealing, have gained wonderful
trade and popularity in a very short time.
