some cover them with dry wood ashes and

A Ghost In the Cellar of ~. Petcria
catholic Church.


A few evenings ago as two of our cili-
zens were vending their way homeward,
having traded at one of our village grocery
stores, little imagined that they should have
to encounter an evil spirit however, such
was their fate.
An elderly gentleman noted for his hui
morous turn of mind, happened TO meet
them on Freight street, conversed with
them for few moments and then remark
ed at is growing late pretty fast boys.
shall not keep you out in the cold any
longer. Good night" And so saying, re-
tired to his house somewhere in the neigh
borhood of the gas-houso.
In this shot conversation, he learned
that our heroes, intended to visit st. Peters
church, for the purpose of ascertaining ii
the furnaces were alright. And a thought
flashed across his mind that this would be n
fine opportunity to play a good joke upon
them. He Immediately seized up his lamp
and followed the young men. II was then
about 10 o'clock and everything seemed
still.
The entrance to the cellar il through a
door on the outside and at the east
end of the church, and then you come III
contact with hugh rocks, the passages
being in places rather scrpentine to either
wheel or turn about. He (the supposed
ghosD proceeds down stairs, takes his
stand at the foot, while his lamp flickers
dimly, in order to suit his purpose to best
advantage Our heroes return, having
taken all necessary observations, finding
the furnaces in good working order, &c.
The first soldier in advance, as might be
expected, becomes terribly frightened
when the ghostly phenomenon caught his
eve. He of course endeavors to beat re-
treat, but is prevented by the rear guard
who grasps him by the shoulders with the
tenacity of a drowning man. At this juno
ture, business becomes lively. Their groan-
ing commenced in good earnest. For
tunatcly, however, one of the party is II
little more cool than the other, accidentally
picks up piece of board, and taking as he
supposed one step forward, commanded
the ghost to speak, "Speak, speak,
speak !" But the ghost didn't calculate to
speak just then. In winding up this ghost
story, must remark here, that had not

trick, come forward to the rescue, season.
ably, death might have been the result. l
am informed that one of the men thus
scared was confined to his bed next day,

The Late Indian 0ntrages.

WASHINGTON, Feb 90.
Col. John IT, Smith, 14th Infantry, re-
porting officially from Fort Laramie on the
recent Indian outrages in that section con-
cludes :
"The indications for some time have
been that the Indians would be trouble
some, to what extent it is impossible to
forsee. / have no confidence in them, they
may TO some extent remain quiet SO long as
their demands are acceded to and they are
not molested while committing depredations
on stock or killing people If we should
kill a few of them or sent troops to their
agencies in my opinion it would be well to
prepare for an Indian war. | understand
agents require troops 20 be stationed per-
manently at agencies where there are no
conveniencies for quartering or subsisting
troops. Cavalry would be very expensive
to subsist there. If agents must have
troops it would be better to establish large
post at some point on the Niobrarak river

IMPORTATION WANTED.
Is He an ImpOstOr ,

A letter has been received from Monroe,
n. Y, under date of February 10th which
narrates:
That there was young man at that
place, who gave his name as Charles Price,
who says his grandfather lives in Rutland
and owns the Fountain House," or some
name similar to that. He had arrived that
day without money or friends, but had a
good many epileptic fits while here or
feigned them.
lie was given tick ct to New York and
money to get to Rutland, and the parties
write to know if his story his true.
He claimed to have been at a boarding
school at Relay House, Maryland. The in
ference was made from what he said about
his studies or treatment that it was an asy-
lum of some kind. He claimed that his
| other grandfather and brother-in-law left
him at this school and left for Galveston,
Texas.
He escaped from the Relay House about
three weeks before and started for Rutland,
but claims to have been robbed of his va
lise, clothes and money.
Tie party who writes the letter had sum
moned physician for him three times the
day the communication was written. The
letter says he seems to have travelled ovei
all the states with his grandfather. He
claimed his father and mother lived in Rut'
land with his grandfather.
This looks very much like the tricks of an
impostor as Rutland has no "Fountain
House, nor is there any family such as is
described, known to the people.
Any parties that can give information
are requested to communicate to j. Is. XII
burn, postmaster, or w. II. Bertholf, Erie
