Haunted Houses" in London.

A London paper says: a great deal
of curiosity has been excited for long
period in reference to a number of large
houses in Stamford street (Blackfriars),
Snowhill, Newington, and other parts
of London, which have for nearly half a
century been allowed to remain empty,
and suffered to get into a ruinous state,
the rental value of the property being
many thousands per annum. One house
in Stamford street, at the corner of Hat
field street, which was formerly let for
Gl00 per annum, has been empty more
than forty years. The various premises
were popularly known as haunted
houses and crowds have collected occa-
sionally round them, particularly the
houses in Stamford street, upon the re-
port that a ghost had been seen walk
ing about some of the rooms. Their
real history appears to be this: The
property originally belonged to a solici-
ter named Reed, a man possessed of a
large fortune, and he, through mere
whim, determined not to let any portion
of this property. He died some five and
twenty years ago, leaving, it is said,
strict injunctions to his widow to carry
out the same course. His directions were
obeyed, and at the death of his widow
the same injunctions were given to the
daughter until her death, which took
place a short time ago rather suddenly.
BY this event the condition of affairs in
relation to the property will, in all
probability, now be changed, and the
estate will be put to some useful pur-
pose. The habits of the deceased lady
were most penurious. She resided in
one of the houses in Stamford street, her
only establishment consisting Of one old
woman and the residence of the 'old
miser,' as she was generally termed,
could easily be recognized by its dirty
and dilapidated appearance. Periodi-
cally the two old women would make a
visit to the other houses in the street,
the time chosen being generally evening.
With lantern in hand they would go
through the different rooms of the large
and ruinous buildings, and these visits
gave rise, no doubt, to the ghost ru-
mors that were rife, and We're the cause
of the crowds assembling to see the light
cleaning from the windows. Almost
Immediately after the death became
known it appears that persons claiming
to be the heirs-at-law of the deceased
took possession of the house where she
resided, and among the strange rumors
that are ahoat in reference to the sub
iect is one that sum of money amount
ing to nearly 100000 was found boarded
in different parts of the house, and con-
cealed in all manner of out-of-the-way
places. At first it was rumored that the
deceased had died without making a
will, but it has since been stated that a
testimentary document has been discoy-
cred. 1t will, perhaps, be reccollected
that few years ago some persons took
forcible possession of one of the houses
in Stamford street, and set up some
claim to the property; but it was shown
that they had no legal title, and they
were forcibly elected by order of a mag
istrate. Since then the whole of the
property has remained in the same con-
dition as before"

Pure Water.

The value Of pure water as sanitary
agent cannot bo well over estimated.
Especially should great care be bestowed
upon the selection of the water that is
used for drinking and cooking, and
while in many cases really excellent wa
ter is readily accessible, it is also the
case that much of the water that finds
its way into our hodics is very unit for
that purpose.
The great evil in the case of most
kinds of water is tho presence OF organic
matter in other words, dead and decay
ing animal and vegetable matter has
found its way into it. In the country,
where the supply of water is obtained
from spring bubbling from hillside,
and constantly changing, this difficulty
does not prevail to any great extent.
But in thickly peopled districts, where
wells are sunk beneath the surface, we
often find find water so impure that it
produces disease.
This is especially the case where wells
and cesspools are in proximity to each
other. 1t is n generally received idea
that after water has been filtered through
o thick layer of soil it becomes purified
from all organic matter, and that this is
true to q certain extent there can be no
doubt But it often happens that liquids
highly charged with organic matter will
flow through assures in the ground for a
considerable distance without losing
much of their impurities.
Alderman Mechi tells us that after a
heavy application of liquid manure to
his fields the drains that are situated
three or four feet below the surface al
ways discharge large volumes of highly
colored liquid. If this be the case under
circumstances that would seem to afford
the very best conditions for perfect filtra-
ton, what must be the result where the
distance that the sewerage has to pass is
not very great, and where it constantly
flows through the same assures or chan
nels.

notes, it was found that the young ad-
venturer had already seen great deal
more of that city than Mr.. Dallas had,
although for some time resident there.
The introduction to the Emperor took
place in this manner. The young man
wrote note to the Emperor acquaint-
ing him with the strong desire he had
for private interview, and mentioned
his particular purpose. Soon after this
he was waited ON by person who asked
him if he was the American gentleman
who desired to see the Emperor. "I
am" was the answer. "Come, then,
with me, and your wish shall be graft
fed" The American was conducted into
small room in the palace, the Emper-
ors cabinet, probably, where sat a mid
dle-aged gentleman who asked the same
question, and being answered in the af-
firmative, said, 81 am the Emperor"
The conversation-procoede but the EN-
peror not finding himself over-fuent in
English, said to the young man, "Come
with me and l will present you to the
Empress, who speaks English much bet
ter than )" and taking him into anoth-
er room introduced him to the family
circle, The American and the Empress
were soon engaged in an animated con-
versation. "You have no servants in
America" said the Empress. pardon
me, we have many" was the reply.
"Yes, but you do not call them by that
name; you call them help" "Ah"
said the Yankee, shaking his finger at
her Imperial Majesty, You have been
reading Mrs Trolloppe." $50 she has"
interrupted the Emperor, and they all
laughed in chorus. Meantime the acorn
was not forgotten, but duly delivered /;
the young man was afterwards allowed
free access to the imperial family circle
was provided with an intelligent guide
in military uniform, who was to show
him everything worth seeing in st. Pc
tersburg, and was afterwards sent at the
imperial expense to travel post through
the empire wherever his curiosity might
lead him. The acorn, it seems, was duly
planted aud terminated and became a
tree. In token of the truth of this, if we
may receive the words of the Boston
7rareller as authentic, some leaves and a
little twig from it are deposited in the
cabinet of the Boston Historical Society.

An Acorn Become a Tree.

When the Russian Grand Duke Alexis
was in Boston, visiting the rooms of the
Historical Society, and was about to de-
part, Admiral Possiet, who was with
him, took from his pocket, as the Boston
Trareller reports, small envelope and
handed it to Mr.. Winthrop, observing
that it might, perhaps, be thought of
sufficient interest to entitle it to appear
in the Society's cabinet. The envelope
was opened and disclosed three oak
leaves and little twig. An inscription
in Russian explained that these We're
from an oak tree in ST. Petersburg which
grew from an acorn planted by the EN-
peror of Russia, who received it from
George Summer, who took it from an
oak overshadowing the tomb of Wash
ington, at Mount Vernon. This circum-
stance may recall to the memory of a
few of our readers the anecdote which
the late George Dallas, our minister at
st. Petersburg some twenty-five or thirty
years since, used to tell of the acorn and
its bearer.
Mr.. Dallas was called upon, as he re-
lated, by young American, who said
that he desired much to see the Emperor
of Russia, as he had brought an acorn,
the fruit of a tree growing by the tomb
of Washington, which he wished to pre-
sent him. Mr.. Dallas said he could not
possibly undertake to obtain for him
private audience from the Emperor with
80 little occasion for it. well" said
the young man, 81 am determined to
see him at any rate" "Have a care"
replied Mr.. Dallas, "or you may get
yourself into an unpleasant scrape. If
YOU do, / will not undertake to help you
out of it," "I shall see him at all
events" was the young mans answer,
and he took his leave. Shortly after
wards Mr.. Dallas met him in company
with man wearing military uniform.

THE PAINTERS QUIETUs.-An artist
in Nashua, n. H., not long ago, was do
ing his best at a sunset on the Rhine. A
magnificent old castle occupied a prom
inent position in the picture, behind
which, it is supposed, the glorious orb of
day had just disappeared, giving the
rocks, hills and dales that picturesque
twilight which is so much admired by
lovers of nature. As its rays fell upon
the placid sheen of the Rhine its retiec-
tions sparkled like molten silver The
artist surveyed his work in general out
line, in blending and shading, laid down
his pallet and brush, and was congratu-
lating himself on the success of his mas
terpiece, when counrfyman, who, un-
noticed, had been reviewing the picture
from behind, remarked, with a measured
tone:
"Well, swan, that looks nat'ral"
"Ah, indeed p replied the artist, look
ing at the speaker, who certainly had
not the appearance of having travelled a
great distance beyond the barnyard.
Do you recognize it,"
Recognize it? guess l do. Been

There was an artists studio to rent
next day, and Raphael lost talented fol
lower, but the world in general and
Nashua in particular found an excellent
carriage and sign painter.

The Clerks Story.

When used to tend store at Syra-
cuse the old man came around one day,
and said he
Bows, the one who sells the most be-
tween now and Christmas gets a vest
pattern as present.
Maybe we didn't work for that vest
pattern tell you there were some
tall stories told in praise of goods Just
about that time, but the tallest talker
and the ono that had the most check Of
any of us, was certain Jonah Squires,
who roomed with me. He could take a
dollar out of mans pocket when the
man only intended to spend a sixpence ;
and the women-Lord bless you-they
just handed over their pocketbooks to
him, and let him lay out what he liked
to them.
One night Jonah woke me up with

AGRICULTURAL.

AGE OF A Co%.-The age of u COW is
known by the teeth and horns. This
animal is furnished with eight cutting
teeth in the lower jaw at the age of ten
months the two middlemost of these fall
out, and are replaced by others that are
not so white, but broader; at tho age of
sixteen months, the two next milk-white
teeth fall out likewise, and others como
up in their room; thus, at the end of ev-
cry six months, the creature loses and
gains, till at the age of three years all
the cutting teeth are renewed, and then
they are long, pretty white, and equal I;
but in proportion as the animal advances
in years, they become irregular and
black, their inequalities become smooth
er, and the animal less capable of chew
ing its food. Thus, the COW often de-
clines from this single cause; for, as it is
obliged to eat great deal to support
life, and as the sinoothness of the teeth
makes the difficulty of chewing great, a
sufficient quantity of food cannot be sup
piled to the stomach. Thus, the poor
animal sinks in the midst of plenty, and
every year grows leaner and leaner till
it dies.
The horns are another and surer meth
cd of determining the animals age. At
three years old, very slight external
shell coating falls off the places where
the horns are about rising. At four
years of age the COW has small, pointed,
neat, smooth horns, thickest near the
head; at five the horns become larger,
and are marked around with the former
years growth. Thus, while the animal
continues to live, the horns continue to
lengthen, and every year new ring is
added to the root; so that, allowing
three years before their appearance, and
then reckoning the number of rings, we
have, in both together, the animals age
exactly.
