Some six months ago, crazy woman,
or one said to be so, 1nysterious'y disap-
reared from her house in the vicinity OF
st. Marguereite's Church, and all search
for her was in vain. Her husband was
interchangeable in his search for her. and the
conclusion was at length arrived at that
she must have persisted. During the last
few weeks rumor has been going round
the neighborhood that her spirit had APP
peared and was frequently seen wandering
around the scenes OF her former crazy ca
pers. One night man saw her, and chas-
ing her for more than block, lost sight
of her in peculiarly strange manner, as
though she had faded away. Several other
people testify to having seen, late in the
night, the same apparition and last Sat
urday evening two young ladies, who live
in the vicinity, awakened by We storm
arose to close the blinds, when by the viz
id flashes of lightning, they distinctly saw
tall, pale spectre, dressed n sable hues,
pacing noiselessly to and fro upon the
sidewalk under their window. Their limbs
trembled; their blood froze, and horror
deprived them of the power to give an
| alarm. Fascinated, they stood gazing
while each repeated fash of vivid ligh
revealed again the mysterious visitor
This was no illusion, for the young ladies
were in company, and both recognized til
apparition. No explanation can be iounf
and the affair remains in mystery. Cal

Coon News FOR THE GIRLs.-Brunettes
have gone out Of fashion. nothing but
blondes are the style now, and it is neces-
sari;y very important that the balmy
breath Of summer should not visit too
roughly the fair cheeks of fair women. Ii
occasionally happens. however, that the
face is not sufficiently protected, and, 10
spite of the greatest care and attention,
little flakes of tan will appear, to the grief
and horror of smiling and popular beau
ty. We have discovered, after dilligent
search, a remedy for this evil, and hasten
to communicate it to our gentle readers.
We only ask of them, in retu n for our re
search, that they will cut it out and paste
it on their looking-glasses, where they'll
be sure to see it many times day. 1t is
as follows: Tan may be removed from
the face by mixing magnesia in soft water
to the consistency Of paste, which s.ould
then be spread on the face and be allowed
to remain a inmate or two. Then wash
off with CASTLE soap suds apd rinse with

first time accompanied his father to a
public dinner. Uncertain what to say,
and feeling sure that he could not be

The answer reached his fathers ear
and Instantly the full responsibility Of
his position flashed upon him. If he
said "I'll take ale,' as he had always
said before, his son would take it also
and then? And the father shuddered
as the history of several young men
once promising as his own bright lad
and ruined by drink, started up in sol

hopes also be blasted, and that open

and negro We're the prominent figures.
The facts, as nearly as We can learn. are
these: \ man by the name of Jones

, out Of Lovejey's drug store, and attemp-
ted TO throw him down. Mat ers that
beeaa in fun grew earnest, and the negro
knocked Jones down. Carney, who was
standing by, pitched in, and the three had
it together. Carney grabbed clock
weight out Of the store and struck the
negro on the back Of the head, causing a
terrible wound. The fight then almost
assumed the dimensions Of riot. War
rants were sworn out, but the officers were
unable to make any arrests. AT present
