A Stramge Visitation.

~ 0SE~MAC VAoAS1oV4OAAs
It will be remembered that Mr.. John
Weston, who resided in the northern
part of Mobiles county, was lost in the
great storm last month while on bis
way home from the woods where he
had been for fuel. Although diligent
search has been made no trace of tie
missing man has yet been found. A
strange story, however, is connected
with the sad affair, which renders the
Case unusually interesting to all. 1t
appears, from the account Of Mrs. Wes-
ton. that on Friday morning after the
three days storm had subsidized, as she
lay in the bed ANYTHING the return of
Of her husbaud-she having used all
the wood he had prepared before Icav-
ing-she heard some one approach the
house, and presently there was knock
upon the door aud the voice OF a neigh
Dor saying, "Mrs. Weston, John is
frozen to death r She arose, greatly
excited, and as she did 80 her three
year old child, who having heard the
announcement, commenced to cry. Mrs.
w. opened the door, expecting tho
neighbor, whose voice was entirely ia.
miliar to her, to step into the house
but not only was she surprised to find
nobody there, but there was no track
in the snow within her view.. The
neighbor, whose voice the woman SC
distinctly recognized, says he knew
nothing Of Mr.. Weston's absence, and
that he did not leave home on thai
day.
ANOTHER STRANGE CIRCUMSTANCE
w. w. Cosper, who lives abont ,
mile and half from Weston's place
relates an incident connected with the
search for Weston that may seem in
credible to those unacquainted with
the character of the man. lie says
that six days after the storm he had
carried forkful of hay to his cattle in
his stable, aud as he returned to the
door, distinctly saw the missing man
dressed as usual, with soldiers over
coat on, standing in the path, abou
fifteen teet from the stable door. HI
says that everything was so real abou
the appearance Of his neiShbor that hi
had no thought Of anything unnatural
and when the ncighbor addressed hin
with some familiar exclamation of greet
ing, ho answered as he usually doe
when so addressed, and added, Why
you here? We Thought you were fro
zen." Weston replied, $50 am, ant
my body lies a mile-and-a-half nortl,
west Of Horscy," at the conclusion o
which remark the appar;tion suddenl
disappeared, :" like mark wiped fror
slate" as Mr.. Cooper says.
