vailing local sensation at the present
time. Is the Virginia ghost story, as re-
lated In this mornings Enterprise. A
young lady Of fourteen, named Agnes
McDonough, living on North c street,
has had the spirit OF her father, who
died six years ago, appear to her Oh
several occasions recently, so that she
could sec him and hear him speak.
The spirit IA not seen by any others
than herself. yet he could be heard
talking to her. The young lady and
her parents being Catholics, the resi-
dent priests In Virginia and Gold Hill
were informed OF the circumstance,
and have investigated the matter
pretty thoroughly. They have con-
versed freely with the spirit, and ex-
press both conviction and astonish-
ment. Other gentlemen OF reliability
also attest to the facts as stated.

SEVERE AccIDEST.-About 6 o'clock
last evening Samuel Adams, employed
in driving horses hauling cars around
the temporary track at the blockaded
tunnel OF the Virginia and TrucSce
railroad, below American Flat, met
with al accident whereby he lost his
left leg. He got the limb caught be-
tween the bumpers OF two cars,
and terribly crushed, both bones,
FOR a distance of several inches between
the knee and ankle, being broken In
several pieces. He was brought up to
bls boarding house, on the Divide, II
Drs. Hall, Webber and Bronson SUM-
moned, who, after mature consultation
and %deliberation, amputated the leg 4
short distance below the knee.
The BAIL LAST SIGur.-The reSn-
lar annual ball of Eagle Engine Com
pany No. 3, Virginia, given'at Piper
Opera House last evening, was a very
pleasing and agreeable affair through
out. a fine aSsemblage being present.
including an unusually large numoer
OF ladies and gentlemen from Go!d
Hill. We have never seen any nan IN
tho city more elegantly and tasteiniiy
decorated, and everything was aunt
rably managed. Dancing was Kept up
tin along toward morning. and every
body seemed to enjoy the festive occa-
sion hugely.
THE Gas QUEsrroN.-lt seems that
the gas dying out night before last
here in Gold Hill, was not the fault OF
the young man who attends the works,
but of the gas itself. He attended 10
1t properly but It would not work sat-
i~sfactorily. 1t does not seem to OPP
crate with the requisite regularity,
and we understand that the manage
ment propose substituting coal gas.
Anything, as long rs IL gives n regular
light that can always be depended
upon.
