Remarkable Ghost Story.
From the Underwater Index.

The upper portion of this county has been
of late the scene of some of the most remark
able, and to >ome. unex plainaby phenomena
that have ever been witnessed in this section
Some negro tenants 90 farm in the neigh
borhood of Lloyds for more than four weeks
have been annoyed as they passed about the
place, by having rocks, bones, pieces of wood,
wads Of paper, green walnuts and variety of
articles dropped from no one can tell where,
in disagreeable proximity to their persons. -
These mysterious showers are not confined to
any particular locality, but move from one
point to another with rlost astonishing rapid
ty the missiles vary in size, some of them be-
ing mere pebbles, others, rocks weighing sew
eral pounds. Many of the most intelligent and
trustworthy citizens of the vicinity have wit
uessed these things, and after the closest inves-
tigation have been unable to give any satistac-
tory explanation of them.
But even more astonishing than the falling
of the rocks is the fact that these invisible dis
turbers OF the public peace make tracks under
ret out their hiding places; track of a ,pecu-
liar appearance, resembling that of human
being but of width entirely disproportioned
to its length, will suddenly present itself to the
astonished vision of those who are seeking to
pry into mysteries which his ghostship eyi
dently desires 10 conceal; all these tracks have
been made BY the right foot, with single ex-
ception, when two left foot tracks appeared to-
gether; an UNUSUAL occurrence, as generally
there is but one track 10 or near the same spot
They are said to follow persons on horseback at
distance of few feet, and make their foot
prints 10 the tracks of the horse, though their
forms are invisible to persons following at the
distance OF few yards They seem also to have
taste for mathematical calcuia tons, as at some
points in the field, which is their usual place of
resort, circles are drawn, filed with Figures,
whose meaning none have been yet able to in-
terpret; it is possible however, that these are
ghostly methods Of calculating to hairs
breadth the direction and proiectil force Of a
rock intended to scrape the shins of mortal
sight seers without breaking the skin.
Fire arms have been used to frghten away
these adopts in the art Of ball-tossing, without
avail. and they daily, under the bright glare
of July sun, continue to perform their tantas-
tic tricks to the mystiication and demorlliza-
ton of the ''natioD' wards, )" not one of whom
could be induced by the promise of all the gold
that has been dug from the mines OF California to
spend an hour within these haunted precincts
