A HAUNTED HoUsE.-Again the deni,
zsns oi East Wheeling are excited. The
sensation this time is the result Of q
haunted house. Not merely o house from
which sounds that cannot be accounted
lot emanste-not merely a place where
spirits congregate and yet remain invisi-
DE; not this, or it never would be made
public. Butthis time his ghostship comes
ioFth in terrible hideousness, with glaring
eyes-even eyes Of fire, and yet the head
seems severed from the body, md by a
fearful cash at the throat, from which the
blood seems still flowing. Unlike other
ghosts, this one docs not come every
night, but only occasionally, which makes
II far more terrible for the occupants Of
the house, for now it comes when least
expected, and when the inmates are least
prepared TO see it. The last visit which
Nmade was only a few nights since, when
al or near the hour OF midnight the head
was seen perched upon tho fence near the
chamber window, and was utteriug terri.
D!ecrtes oi vengeance for the blood that
mad been spilled. In consequence of this
ae house Is privately offered for sale at
less than its value, and whether sold or
UO' Will soon be without q tenant.

"A MOST heartrending fair oc-
cured IN Tuscola township, Tus-
cola county, on Wednesday even
Ing last. George w. Elliott, who
lives in the south part of The
town, had been to the village to
make preparations for Thanksgiv.
iLg. Returning home, and about
half a mile distant, lie saw his
house in flames. Running and
screaming he soon reached
the fiery threshold, but too late
the roof fell with crash, consum.
ing all his worldly goods and
bnrying Il wife and child in the
ruins. The child three years Of
age, was heard to scream twice
than all was still, save the crack
ing of the flames. The remains
of mother and child lay eide by
side, the mother not being very
badly burned. They were buried
on Thanksgi, ing Day. No one
knows how the fire originated &.
1t is supposed that the lamp burst
in Mrs. Elliott's hands, envelop-
ing her in burning oil. The
lamp was found her eide. De

21st, together with the entire
household contents,and u consider.
able amount of money belonging
to a German family who were
spending few days at Mr.. Wills.
The two men were at Clam Lake
when the fire occurred and none
but the two ladies and two small
children occupied tho house.
These members had retired for
the night and were not aware of
tho danger until the sparks from
the ire began to drop on their
bed, when they seized the children
and rushed ont doors just in time
to escape the falling tiInbers. Their
nearest neichbor, we learn, lived
about a mile and a half from
them, where they travelled through
the deep snow, in tho dark Of
night with the two children in
their arms, bare footed and nearly
bare backed, as they were unable
to save particle of clothing more
than their night clothes. When
they reached their eishbors they
were nearly persisted with cold.

severe winter, when labor lie

these two families. They are ob.

hope, and believe, that the good
people of Wexford will contribute
literally from their store to them.

The Pentwater Neacs tells the
following:
A short time since a Young
man stopped for the night at The
Corlett House, and being in a
strange place his mind was not
entirely clear as to the ownership
of property, for he got it into his
head that suit of clothes which
were lying near were HE, and put
them on aud went away with them.
He got away over in the township
of Ferry before he found his mis-
take, and then Constable Rounds
had to tell him of it. Esquire
Baker kindly gave him permiss-
ion to board with Mr.. Sayles for
thirty days, so that he might learn
the ways.
