MISCELLANY.
A MYSTERIOUS HOUSE.

Some years ago gentleman whom we
will call Col. Someryille, was desirous of
buying house in the west end of town,
and passiRg one day through well-known
square, he observed house to be sold.
which seemed to him, as far as outside ap-
pearance and situation were concerned, to
be the very thing he wanted. The print
ed bill referred him to firm of estate
agents in the city and to them he at once
went, though he could not help entertain
ing misgiying that the price would be
exorbitanSly high and beyond his means.
No harm, however, could be done by SIM
pie inquiry. He was agreeably astonished
to find that the sum demanded was only
200. Not being commercial man, he
could not help expressing his astonish-
ment at the small sum demanded, and
naively inquired if the mansion was much
out OF repair. The representative of the
hrm replied unhesitatingly that the house
was Ill very good repair and would not re-
qulre more than the usual outlay upon
decorations. The Colonel. pressed his in
quiries, and, as he seemed to be likely
and desirable purchaser, he was soon in
formed of the circumstances under which
the house, in question was to be sold. 1t
