Mn. FtisoE, DEAR SrR - Some
| mani atfofls of interest having oc-
i Cured in Deerfieid, III this county, |
will give you the most important in-
cidents IN the order of their develop
ment:
In the Townsbip Of Deetfeld, Por-.
tage county, Ohio, one-fourEE of a
mile from the centre, stands q house
with some good acres of ground at
tsched, thak within the last thirty
years, has been bought and sold many
times. No sooner. would a buyer get
settled, than he would be seized with
desire to sell.
About four years ago It was bought
by Mr.. Carlton. His family con-
sisted OF a wife, two daughters, near
~ grown, and son, now eight years
old. The Carlton family were an
noyed BY strange, unaceonntable
noises that soon gave il the notoriety
OF being haunted. These sounds were
often heard in one cham Der, as If doors
were opening and being shut hard
also loud raps, sometimes singing
and voices in conversation, and often
groans and shHeks. Twice they saw
tile form OF woman walking in the
garden.
Last Winter, Mr.. Carlton became
SO exasperated at the annoyance, he
thought to drive them away by force
ii possible. When the sounds were
heard, he commanded them with au-
thoritY TO quit and leave the family |
alone. They took no heed to orders. |
At this Mr.. Carlton went into a great |
passion, enforcing his commands with |
u
as defiant as ever. Then he threw /
stove-Wood at the point whence the
sounds proceeded, and yet they tan
talyzed him. Soon after, he was taken
i'll aud died In few hours. This oc-
CURED in February last (l873). The
family still live there and these haunt /
ing sounds continued till late In Sum
meF, when Mrs. Carlton went to Paris |
an adjoining town, to visit some
friends. They advised her to get 8

settlers in Deerffeld, and was in those

Since her insanity is removed, this
is the story she tells OF herself:
( "My name is Mary Coolie. [ was
born inG ermany. I came to America
with two brothers and-settled near
Maadyille, Penn, bringing their
wealth with them. One brother, Cor
nelius COolie, still livos there; the
other died. was seduced BY doc

persuaded me to leave my home and

Deerfield and rented this house, aud
soon after, gave birthkto q still borg
babe, which the Doctor buried ia the
garden. lie refused to iulfiIt his
promise of marriage. and in my grief,
despair and loneliness, was bereIt OF
reason and became q laying maniac,
and in my frenzy, cut my throat. The
Doctor put my body in rough box
aud buried it in the garden also, and
left for parts unknown"
A few old residents remember his
coming and going, but no one there
ever knew that Mary Coo4ie lived or
