A Ghostly Brakesman.

We wish it distinctly understood that we do
not deal instinctively in the sensational, and
have no desire to create, manufacture, or reyel
in the imaginary, but truth is tranger than
fiction owing to the fact that so few people
tell the truth, Editors, Of course are the cleo
tive few. BIT what we are now going to re-
late, may be implicitly relied upon, as i! comes
from an authentic source.
For some months, ailroaders-conductor
engineers and brakemen-have been noticing,
between Titon and Alatoona, that when their
respective freight trains would enter on to that
norton OF the track named, that their number
would be reinforced by an extra train hand,
who of course the officers of the w. 81 A.
Railroad cannot persuade to sign the death
warrant" This individual appears suddenly
on top of the freight cars, takes seat and re-
mains there for many miles, then the unknown
brakesman disappears Conductors, seeing
him. have often went out to collect his fare but
on nearing him, he would vanish like mist.
One night, an engineer on freight train,
plainly saw the ghoshtly brakesman, seated on
top of the third car from his engine, he deter
mined to settle the vexed question as 10 who he
vas, aud accordingly, left his engine in charge
of the fireman, and proceeded at once towards
the mysterious object The engineer approach
ed cautiously, with both eyes fixed on the
form of the man, but as he neared his ghost
ship. he gradually faded from view, leaving
the engineer completely bewiliered, but who
still hied TO unravel the suddenness of his dis
appearance by passing over the entire train and
looking in every place, which was. eapa-
ble Of epnceaing man, hut nowhere was the
msu visible The engineer turned around in
despair, and as he cast his eye toward his en-
CINE which swift in speed, there sat the
object OF his search, unterrifed and full of life,
on The same identical spot where he first dis
covered him. Il was all incomprehensibly
strange and unaccountable TO the engineer but
his intrepid courage never failed him, aud he
again went towards him and as he approached
again the apparilon dissolved itself into moth
ing. The engineer passed on to his engine and
an leaking back there sat percled upon the
car box the same unknown being, where he
remained until the train had lefi many miles in
the distance, then his ghostship disappeared,
and returned probably, to re-enact on the next
passing train the same seancrs.
His appearance on the top Of train has be-
come a matter of Indifference among the Rail
road men, and all effort to find out who he IS,
has ceased Some say that it u, be the
spirit of an unfortunate brakesman who was
killed while in TIL performance Of his duties,
and whose love for the avocation while living.
iorcss his discontinued spirit back 10 the same
pursuit.

THE GEORGIA CoLONISTS FOR
LIBERIA

A company of one hundred and
fifty colored persons, interesting on
account of their somewhat venture
some undertaking as we'll as the pos
sibilties that are theirs, landed at
the New York dock Wednesday,
from Georgia, en- route for Liberia,
the negro republic of Africa. This
little colony, which has numerically
improved upon that of the Mayfow-
er by forty mine, will take passage
on the bark Jasper, which has been
fitted up with special reference to
the voyage, and is promised to
present throughout manifest i'm
provement upon the usual run of
emigrant ships both in comfort and
cleanliness. The colonists are a
selection from over three thousand
applicants for the passage, and come
from various parts Of Georgia, be-
ing nearly all in families. They
are we'll educated in a common way,
and brought up according to the
teachings of the Methodist and Bap-
fist denominations in so good fash
ion that the mate of the steamship
which brought them thus far on
their journey declared that their
prayer meetings and Qualifications
were highly edifying. The pas
sage is expected to occupy from
thirty five to forty days. Sixty of
the emigrants will land at Monrovia,
the capital of their new republic,
and the others will sail further on to
Cape PaImas. This is only the adj
vance guard of more than three
thousand colored people in Georgia
who wish to go to Africa and build
up a State founded upon the enter
prise and devotion of the Southern
freedmen. President Roberts of
Liberia, has written them, giving
ample testimony to the rapid ad-
vancement of agriculture and COM
merce since the foundation of the re-
public. Each family upon landing
receives twenty-five acres of land
free and each man citizenship

so low in Nebraska that farmers
find it difficult to employ hands at

to coral the fattening cattle among

ALATE CERTIFICATE UPON THE SUBJECT
of DR.. JESSE GREENS cure of
DRoPsY, of Cherokee County.
W no HFRERY CERTIFY ,bat

DO HEREBY CERTIFY, that my wife
n has been afflicted with Dropsy-sht
was swollen from her waist TO the end of hen
toes, apparently, as much as tho skin would adj.
NIT of / had regular Physicians to attend her
but they failed to arrest the progress ofdisease
or to give her any relief and Recommended
tapping, as The only remedy left with which
they could give, even temporary relief About
the LIST of Sept, my attention was called TO Dr.
Jesse Green's Advertisement on the cure OF
Dropsy, in the marietta Journal" l hastened
to carry my wife to him. l arrived al his house
on the 9th day of September-she had not at
tempted to lie down for several weeks previous
to going TO DR.. Green 's-could not raise her sell
up out of a chair without assistance-cou!d
scarcely lalS from pressure on the lungs and
weighed nearly two hundred pounds. DR..
Green, by the use of internal medicine, reduced
her the first day five inches arouad the body and
relieved her lungs so she could breathe free
the 9th day she could lie down and rest, the
first time she had lay down in 6 weeks In
IL days she had reduced her weight 55 pounds
and at the end of % days. she had reduced her
rs pounds. There is no swelling about her
now, but to the contrary she is very lean She
needs nothing but flesh to restore her to her
former good health and that she is gaming every
day. l believe, that DIR. Green's treatment will
cure any case of Dropsy, if taken in time His
medicine appears to be entirely harmless, but
removes all symptoms of DrOpsy like a charm.
The above facts concerning the condition of my
wife and her speedy cure by DIR. Green are
we'll known to many ofour friends at this place
and they will give any information desired
when called on for the same.
