for many years deceased. II is said that distinct and
likeness OF Mrs Garth who has been dead for
twenty years, be seen on pane or glass in the
uppe r sash of Of the windows, presenting very
much the appearance Of photograph negative. The
discovery is said TO have been made by woman
who washing clothes in the yard, who imagined
watching her through the window, and
went inside to who II We gather these facts
from DR.. Charles Brown, who has himself the sim
guar picture. DR. Brown remembers that about
twenty years ago Mr. Garth told him that his wife,
while standing at that window, was stunned by sud-
den flash of lightning, and the Doctors theory is that
the outlines oil her features photographed the
window pane at that time The youngest daughter Of
Mr.. Garth, and others who were well acquainted with
Mrs. Garth have seen the picture and pronounce II a
