A TRUE GHOST STORY.-The follow
ing account Of a ghostly apparition was
handed to us by one who was an eye
witness thereof; aud who 10 DESTROYS OF
giving others an opportunity to puzzle
their brains in the endeavor to account
for its mysteries:
In the pioneer days Of "Old Cedar, "
a merry company of boys and girls was
met in an old log cabin. not three miles
from Upton, to spend the evening and
bid farewell to friends and relatives
prior to their departure for Oregon
While the merry talk went round, the
old clock called forth the noon of night,
warning all that 1t was time to take the
the parting hand and speak the parting
words. Just then, and with no warning
from without, the door flew open aud
Uncle d. stepped in with strange look
upon his face, and in a low tone, trcmu-
lous with alarm, inquired "if any one
had put anything In the old field" The
response from all sides was "No!" follow
ed by general rush for the door, and
the cry, "A ghost, a ghost!' The first
hasty glance caused the timid to shrink
back, while the strongest hearted trem-
blel as they gazed. A voice said, "Who
will 20 with me and solve the mystcry:"
Only moment was necessary to bring
an answer, and the two volunteers went
hand in hand to within y few steps of
the apparition, and halted. TO all APP
pearances a woman stood before them
in the habiliments Of the grave; her face
showed deadly pale from beneath the
cap awry, and the flowing shroud was
only confined at the waist. 4 challenge
was given, but no answer returned. The
adventurous pair approached step near
err and one of them, taking II menacing
attitude, said, "Speak or you will be
hur!' Still no answer came, when.
suddenly the brave challenger, with Il
single look over his shoulder ut the
frightened group who were huddied to-
gether ut the door of the cabain waiting
in terror for the denounent, sprang ut
the ghost, and quickly snatched Aunt
Mary's old straw bed-t tick off the bush
Oh which it had been hanging.

JUSTICES COURT.-The case of the
State vs.. John G. Maurer, charged with
"distnrhing and disauieting an assem-
bly, met for religious worship" was call
ed before Justice Sweet, in the court
room at one o'clock Monday afternoon.
We publish elsewhere an article giving
a detailed account Of the events that led
to this litigation ; and consequently will
say nothing here concerning them. The
case excited great interest, and kept the
room well peopled the day and u half
during which it was in progress. A
jury consisting of Messrs. John and
Ames Wisener, Geo. Boughman, G..
Ellison, Cha's Millhouse and J. Is. To-
zier was impanneled after considerable
difficulty and delay. Very many wit
ne>ses were examined upon both sides !;
the defense attempting to prove that the
occasion Of the disturbance was not in
an assembly met for religious worship,
but that it occurred at All inform gath
ering after the religious meeting had
been dismissed. The jury retired at !
o'clock Saturday evening, and sealed
their verdict late Sabbath afternoon. 1t
found the defendant guilty, but recon-
mended the greatest leniency in the
judgment Of the Court. Justice Sweet
acted upon this recommendation, only
assessing = fine Of s.; but the costs,
amounting to S99. made the rather
serious aggregate of SlO4.6O as the price

Two WIVES seem to be too many for a
man to have, and enjoy quiet withal
even if one Of them is in Pennsylvania,
willie the mutual husband, aud wife
number two are looking for peace and
"bscurity in the far Off State of Iowa. a
Mr.. Blackburn came here some weeks
ago from Bedford Co., Penn, with a wo-
man whom he represented as a newly
married wife. lie bought J. 4. TayIor's
interest in the livery business, and set
tied down at once into the quiet citizen.
Since his hasty departure at five o'clock
last Saturday morning, it has transpred
that the woman who came and went
with him occupied the unenviable po-
sition of a second living wife; and also
that the crime of the parties was not
made bigamy by the performance of the
marriage ceremony until some days af-
ter their arrival at this place.
1t seems that Mr.. b. WAS married but
not mated years ago; that lie had been
separated from his first wife for three
years, two of which he spent in Illinois,
(Why didn't he go to Chicago and get
divorce?) and that the woman who ac-
companicd him here came with him
from his old home in P.nna., fully cog
infant OF all the facts III the case. 1ney
had written to an old friend and &C.
quaintance of both families, living in
this vicinity, that they were coming;
and he met them here and took them to
his home, surprising, of course, that all
was right. Although we'll acquainted
with both parties and their families,
years ago, he had not heard of BIS
first marriage, which happened during
his residence in the west; and he was,
accordingly, prepared to be very much
astonished when told that the couple he
had met were yet unmarried. The
friend, whom we will call Mr.. p, re-
marked upon this information, that "he
thought it high time they were;;' and
was told in reply that they "wcre ready,
and the sooner the better" According
~, Mr.. p, in the innocence of his heart,
procured a minister, saw the knot tied,
and directly wrote back to old Bedford
the news; thus all unwittingly helping
forward the commission of the crime;
and then revealing it, together with the
whereabouts of the parties. One day
last week Il. received u telegram in form
ing him that all was known, that lie
would soon be called forif he staid here;
aud in consequence, he concluded not to
stay.

life in Upton. On one of the warm days
with which we were well nigh cajoled
into the belief that spring was at hand,
the noses Of . small neighborhood were
suddenly turned up by an odor no less
strange than strong and unpleasant. No
cause was known for the terrible stencil;
and a "smelling committee" after care
fully analyzin to the best of their abil-
ity, the odorous particles that were in
hailed with every breath, decided that
some one was making soap, and using
a,gtul nasty soap grease. The truth was
that a young NJ. D., living in the fra
grant vicinity, had received body from
some city hospital for anatomical purpo-
ses; and being surprised by warm wealth
er, had been obliged to resort to boiling
in lye as means of self defense, as well
as to cleanse his precious bones prepara-
tory to mounting. The school misses
above referred to, and, in fact. misses in
general, have decided that it was All es.
sentially barbarous operation; and de-
clare they never can meet the Doctors
glance without being possessed with the
idea that he is looking for another Sub
ject." AS he is unmarried, this may te
correct idea; but we give him friend
ly warning that to make his attentions
acceptable to any of the Upton fairs, he
must first disabuse their minds Of the
belief that, in his opinion, to be boiled in
lye is the chief end Of woman.
