He came into the city sometimes to beg,
and would piteously implore for money,
stating that he was starving. Sometimes
he would gather rags or scraps of paper
and sell them. Every one supposed him
to be Rretohedly poor. He had an evil
look, apd mothers would remove their
children when, they saw him coming.
One day last week, however, child, the
son Of ME Abraham Skinner, went ont
alone to fish in the; stream, and happen
ed to wander on until, before he knew it,
he came to the hovel Of the old man.
at first he was frightened, but seeing no
one around, he plucked up courage and
went nearer. Everything was silent
He went and peeped through crack in
the side of the hut. He almost scream
ed at what he saw, for he beheld the old
man bending over bag Of money that
he was counting. There were other bags
beside him containing large quantities Of
money. Mr.. Skinner's son was so terrified
that when he attempted to move he
stumbled. Like lightning the old man
rushed ont aud seized him. "Ha." he
screamed, "I've caught you, have I?
You saw me, did you? Well, now.
you'll pay for it." And before Mr..
Skinner's son could say word, the old
monster, with ah awful laugh, drew out
o knife. and cut the child's tongue out
Then no chopped off his fingers. 'sNow, F."
he said, "now you can go, for you can't
tell. The poor boy ran of, overcome
with agony, and ran to his fathers house
only to fill them with CONSERVATION.
What was the matter with their child?
He could not speak to tell them! He
could not write,4 for his fingers were cut
Still the poor boy, after efforts of the
most horrible pain, managed to fix a
pencil between his bloody stumps of
fingers rand wrote the awful talel a

hastened to the miser's den. He was at
the door as they approached, and fred q
revolver six times at them, wounding
two Of the party seriously. Mr.. Skinner
returned the fire, and the aged villain
fell, with piercing yell, mortally wound

moaned. "n,y henutiful money!" and he
crawled to his bags of gold and sank

slowly recovering. The miser was
buried the day after and the hut was torn
down.

A girl in San Jose is possessed of a
devil in the shape of bushwhacker's s.
ghost. The spirit, on being questioned,
replied, through the mouth of the girl:
II was what you coll bush whacker, and
was killed by this girls father, and, rs [
still feel spirit Of revenge against him,
I have taken control of her to further
my designs; have nothing against the
Apparently, the evil spirit went on to
tell many things which had happened
between himself and the girls relatives,
tall OF which was true,) and finally told
them that there was letter on the way
to them, giving information of the Sc
we're sickness of little sister of the girl,
whom be was using for his evil purpose
The letter alluded to arrived in few
days. confirming the truth OF what had
been foretold. The relatives of the girl,
with whom she was living, thinking that
the child might be insane, sent her to n
private asylum in Alameda County a few
days ago, and have learned that she is
not disturbed any longer by the revenge
full monster. The spirit had told them
before that he would leave the girl when
she should be removed from her rela-
tives, but he would enter into some other
member of the family. A day or so ago
6 iotteT was received from missouri,
stating that the father of the girl was
afflicted in manner which exactly cor
responds with, the former disorders of
the child. The story comes from the
parties directly connected with the
strange affair, who are upright, honor
able people.
