ing facts:
a yousg man, who boarded with the
old gentleman for some time. states
that at various times he heard unusual
noises about the house during the
night, which seemed like some one had
thrown on the floor load of plank;
then the plank appeared to Slide over
the roof of the porch aud fall with a
heavy thud to the ground, On one
occasion he arose and went out to in
vestigate the cause, but without sue
cess. On returning, the old gentleman
told him not to te alarmed, as he had
heard the same noises for some length
of time; but could assign no cause from
whence they came.
