A STRANGE STORY.

The Hartford Comm Courant has the
following:
..Tbe Inhabitants in the vicinity of the
tnwn-house were aroused n few nights
since at midnight by a succession OF hor-
rible shrieks, groans and imprecations, as
II moceeding from person in mortal
terror. As they rung out in the still night
air they were enough to send chill to the
s,o,,test heart. The building was dark
when the shrieks were first heard, but
4 Iipht was soon seen moving towards the
place whence they proceeded. The sounds
then gradually lessened and were at length
succeeded by subdued meanings, after
which silence finally reigned again. Those
who had been aroused, did not easily re-
call the slumber so rudely interrupted,
and many a dream of demonacal horrors
must have visited their couches before the
morning broke. st I'd
Anxious to investigate the affair, gen.
tleman went to the town-house,. where he
learned the following facts. The keeper
was one of the first aroused and proceed
9 Cd 70 the cell whence the sounds proceed
ed. There stood a man, clinging to the
bars of the window, his hair tossed wildly
about, perspiration steaming from his
brow, beseeching in the most abject
y.
manner to be taken out of the cell. lie
prayed, cursed, swore, and declared he
would die if kept there longer. He was
taken out and was with great difficulty
brought to his senses, when in faltering
and broken sentences he told his story.
He had been sitting upon the side Of the
bed about two hours without feeling any
desire to sleep, when suddenly female
figure dressed in white rose slowly through
the floor almost at his side. Terrified at
the apparition he shrieked loudly for help,
and as he did so the figure grew larger
and larger until it became about four times
life size. He then rushed for the door,
where the keeper, upon his arrival, found
him clinging to the iron bars. The keeper
was certain the man could not be suffering
! from delirium tremens. as he exhibited no
signs Of intoxication when brought there
two days before. and of course had moth
ing sp!rituous to drink while there lie
had been arrested for vagrancy IS
What makes the affair still more strange
is the fact that just year ago that very
day an inmate of the same cell had arous-
ed the. keeper in precisely the same man
ner. begging to be taken from the cell,
and affirming that he saw white female
figure rise from the floor. The matter
has created no little stir in that part of the
town; there is no end Of speculation, and
retailers of ghost stories are in high glee.
