EIko Ghost Sensation.

From the Independent, Of December I4th.
A great deal has been said and writ
ten about ghosts, spirits and supernat-
ural manifestations Of every descrip-
ton In all manner Of places but We
are firmly convinced that the State Of
N~evada-this particular portion In no
wise behlnd-can and does produ,o
the most remarkable exhibitions OF
g%hosttantics on record, or else persons
become "crazier" and more wildly
insane than In any other portion Of
Gods moral vineyard. We have just
interviewed q man named Chase, who
Is the victim of the strangest hallucin-
alton that perhaps ever entered the
added brain Of any man, and heard a
story-told calmly and dispassionately
that narrowed up our feelings" to
an unlimited extent. His story runs
as follows: ~ was sitting In my cab
in. near the upper bridge across the
Humboldt before the fire, early 10 the
morning Of the 18th instant, when a
man, or what seemed to ME to be a
man, came In and took a seat beside
me by the fire. He then said to me,
Those hands Of yours belong to me,
aud I desire to burn them ; you Will
please put them In the fire. Although
| the language was mild, the tone was
that Of an order, and. though l was
very 10th to comply with the Demand
I had not the power to resist. and &C
cordingly put them In the fire a. d.
rected. 1 held them In that position
As long as I could-it was very painful
at frst-then drew them out and
dipped them 10 melted grease, which l
had In the cabin ; then poked them In
the fire again-the stranger closely
watching ME all the time. I continued
the process Of dipping my hands In OIL
aud putting them In the fire until the
fingers and a portion OF the hands, as
you see, were consumed. At this juno
ture the irresistible Influences exerted
by the stranger before mentioned, was
withdrawn, together with the stranger
himself, and / Immediately desisted
from further mutilatlon Of my limbs.
It seems that the miserable man, after
having thus crucifled himself, went to
the house Of Mr.. Bozarth at the bridge.
made knwon his condition, and desired
that gentleman to shoot him, but Je-
rome preferring to act In the character
Of a good Samaritan to that OF execu.
toner, promptly declined, aud brought
him to the County Hospital, where he
Il now receiving the attention OF Dr.
Meigs. We learned yesterday that the
Doctor had amputated the arms below
the elbows.

BafoRE the great fire Of London,
streets were extremely crooked and 80
narrow that the houses, each story Of
which overhung the next, came near
enough together for lovers to shake
hands. II not to kiss, from garrett to
rgalrst over the way. Houses were
generally Of wood, or lsthed and plas-
/. tered on the outside. The fire con-
ilmed thirteen thousand houses, and
nearly all tho churches and halls Of the
section were devastated, and the loss
was estimated from ten to twelve mil
lions sterling. Its extent was more
than q mile IN length and one-half
mile in width.

IT Is said that Mrs. Fair, having
fully established her innocence Of any
crime in killing Crittenden, and the
jury having also decided that she was
not guilty, she Is now about to II the
San Francisco authorities for defama-
tion Of character and false imprison-
ment, with damages laid at $loo, 600.
Those San Francisco barbarians will
learn yet perhaps to their cost that
they can't traduce the reputation and
restrain the liberty Of our Washoe

COLORADO.

Dispatches from Washington state
that Delegate Chaffee, Of Colorado, ap-
peafed before the House Committee on
Territories. and urged the reporting Of
a bill for the admission Of Colorado
into the Union IS a State. The dele
gate claim, that the Territory has q
population large enough, and also the
resource to entitle It to a full repre-
seutation in Congress. A bill to ad-
q. init Colorado, twice passed Congress.
- but was vetoed by Andrew johnson,
and no attempt was ever made to pass
It over his veto. There Is . feeling at
present against the admission Of Ter.
= f~fsorfss, aud we learn that the Com.
e. .maseee are no: favorably disposed
toxard Nc. Chaffee's measure. The
..., admission Of Nevada at so early a day
has been generally considered q grave
error, aud affords . strong reason
xrasslnst the admission Of other Terrific
ries until they shall have a full quo,s
~ ~ population. Were 1t not for ambi
tlous politicians who are DESTROYS o
becoming Uhitsd States Senators, thu
Territories would not be 30 clamorou
