the upper part of Walkers creek, not far
from the scene Of the McChesney ghost, we
learn there have been similar manifestations
for the past two weeks at the house former
ly occupied by Mr.. David Snider. The
ghost, or devil, Or whatever it is, has taken
to his old tricks Of throwing hot rocks,
pancakes, and turning up jack generally
The annoyance became so great, as we are
informed, that the family have left the house.

acres 100 bushels, Mr.. Joseph Fravel sc
bushels on one acre, Mr.. Alfred Holdings
worth so bushels on three acres. Mr.. j
W. R. Moore, of Mount Jackson, tried al
experiment, using manure from wheat ane

was spread over the ground very lightly
