AHAUNrED HOUSE.

A curious story is going the rounds Of
the press concerning haunted house in
Pen yam, New York. A visitor thus de-
scribes what he saw and heard: - -.
Our village clock was striking the hour
of twelve when we entered the haunted
room. The stiffness was disturbed first
by what seemed a guitar played few
feet from as, and as sweet voice as ear
ever heard singing to it in low tone. In
an instant the sound of voices and foot>
steps was heard all about us, but, al
though the room was as light as lamp
could make it, we saw nothing. The
singing continued until the same sweet
voice, in the most piercing and sharpest
utterance, cried "Help.', As the un-
earthly yell broke forth we felt our heart
beat quickly, our breath come heavily,
and every nerve Jingle. Three times did
this mysterious voice cry "Help." After
this followed what seemed to be dance
of madmen, together with the most de-
moniac screams ever heard.
"O'er all there hung q shadow and fear
A sense of mystery the spirit daunted,
And said as plain as whisper in the ear,
The place is haunted"
