He uuhiiched the horses, led them out
of the bridge and tied them to the
fence. He then returned with the IN
tention of backing the wagon cut, but
he found that the wheels we're firmly

light bed which he had handled many a
time without assistance, was so solldly

brought into requisiticn. They had a

to loose the wagon, but it remained as
stationary as though it were part oI

despair. The farmer had already
mounted his horse preparatory to start

to the tongue ratified. He went back
the magic spell was broken, and the
wagon followed in tie wake of the
horses as though nothing had occurred.
The affair created wonderful sen.a-

day is dark mystery.
So late as one night last week two
young men in buggy, drawn by a
powerfully built family horse, approach

horse put forth his best hicks, but the

A HAUNTED BRIDGE. - Bedford
Counfy's Latest .Mystery-Or Humbug.
The local reporter of the Bedford
Inquirer, with the fate Of Ananias
staring him in his minds eye, puts in
PRINT the following story of haunted
bridge:
And now We stumble Upon mystery
in Harrison township. About six miles
west of this place IS bridge known as
kinton's bridge, which spans the Juni-
alta, and is spot of no mean signifi
cance in the history of the township.
By many of the citizens, for many
years, this ridge has been dreaded, and
there are there are those who rather
than cross it, would wade the sparkling
stream at a temperature OF 20 degrees,
not that the superstructure is faulty,
nor that there is any petty jealousy be-
cause Smith or Jones built the bridge,
bat because it Is believed that the devil
or some other body or thing who has
not the interests and happiness of the
citizens at heart, wields terrible, evil, {,
magic influence over it. Many Won
derful, and if they did not come from
men of unquestionable veracity, we
would say slightly incredible stories are
told concerning what has happened in
this famous bridge, but as we have not
the space to recount them all, we will
give the latest sensation.
One afternoon, some time since, a
farmer started with load Of corn to
Mann's Choice, aud on bis wav had to
pass through the bridge. He was a
man not given tc fear nor to the belle!
in spooks, ghosts and hobgoblins. He
arrived at the town in safety, unloaded
his corn and started for home JUST as
the sun was disappearing in the western
horizon, his wagon, drawn by two pow
erful horses, entered the bridge, when
all of = sudden they came to halt
whack went the whip about the legs of
the fiery steeds, who strained every
nerve to go forward, but it was dead
stall. The driver dismounted and ex-
amined The wagon, found that it had not

In conversation with lady in re-
gard to the blessings womankind had
( conferred on our race, We ventured a
hint at the proceedings in the first and
grandest garden ever made on this
earth. She retorted by asking Us if we
knew how long Adam was in the gar
den before he got his wife. 1t was a
long time ago that We read the account
of Adam and Eve in Paradise, but We
said that We thought be was only one
das without Eve in the garden, and
that was Sunday or the seventh day
She was surprised at our recollection,
ard pronounced it correct, but wanted
to know ''what period of tine day as
considered IN Genesis compreheudei. "
We could not retraia from compliment
ing the intelligent acuteness OF the
lady, and begged to be allowed to con
less tudI dS I've was 100 uiuCu iOI -hSdui
in the garden, she was too much for US
on this question, and continued by say
ing that naturally We incli led to
form positive opinions, but the present
case was an exception. We could not
conclude in eur mind, as to what length
of time constituted day in the phrase
ology of Genesis, or the days of the
creation whether ouly a hours, an
hundred or thousand years.
She pronounced US as unsatisfactory
and indefinite as lawyer, and declared
her intention of next asking Geolo-
gist, for she would like to know how
long Adam was in the garden before he
was blessed with the companionsbIp OF
woman
1t was day but how long was that
day! Was the 9Th day as long as the
9th and 9th ard the Others that ereced-
ed thetl Will some Geologist tel
the lady the number of hours or years
of the creation days. She would then
know how long Adam was without a
wife, in the garden.
