A Haunted Valley.

For twelve years George Meet, of
Nicholsville, KY, maintained the truth
of ghost story that he repeatedly told.
Although he was a man of good charac-
ter, his narrative was, of course, disbe-
ieved, or attributed to hallucination.
He died recently, and his last words
were in affirmation of the old tale, show
ing that it had at least one firm believer.
1t ran as follows: In the neighborhood
is lonely valley, in which is an old
graveyard. Through this Neetrode one
night. Suddenly he saw man riding
at his side, whose horses hoofs made
not the slightest noise on the ground.
Frightened by this strange silence, he
reached out his hand only to find that
neither the man nor the horse had any
more substance than a shadow. He
spoke to the phantom, and was in re-
spouse led to the graveyard. There the
ghost said that tombstone had been
removed from his grave to another, and
he wanted it returned. Meet trembling
ly performed the task, whereupon the
ghost said 'fThank you," and disap-
peared. The town accepts the dying
declaration of Meet as positive proof.

Whitworth, of England, the great mach
mist, made measuring machine of
such delicate adjustment and register
that in order to use it the temperature
of the room in which it is kept must be
at an exact point, otherwise its indica-
tons are valueless, owing to the axpan-
sion of the metal composing it under
varying temperature. The exactness of
workmanship has been attained in this
country also by the Pratt and Whitney
company, of Hartford, Conn.,, who have
for years been supplying foreign arm

yelled with great pomp IN the presence
OF 10, 00G persons Emperor William,
Prince Karl, OF Prussia, and the nobility
of Germany. The greatest enthusiasm
prevailed. In the spring of Is, 4. D.,
the Roman legions under Germanicus-
100, 900 strong, with 1000 vessels
fought decisive and entirely disastrous
battle with Herman, prince of the Che

IT appears that the first estimate of
Secretary Bristow, and the director of
the Mint, that 10000, 900 would be suf-
ficient to commence the substitution of
silver for small fractional currency, was
far too small. That amount has been
ordered for Boston alone Throughout
the country the bars and coined silver
amount to over $40, 900. 1t is ex-
pected that the Secretary viii now soon
make the attempt by calling the 3, 5, 10,
l. and % cent notes, issued since 1862,
and substituting for them silver coins of
the same denomination and amount. If
it is found that the silver coin can be
kept in circulation, then the 80 cent
notes will be called in, which will re-
quire about 10, 900, 600 additional silver.

Decision in n Silk Snug CLING Case.

new YORK. December 16.-In the United
States Circuit Court, criminal branch, to-day,
the counsel for Charles l.. Lawrence, indicted
and extradicted for completely in the great
slk-smuggling frauds, moved that his plea
Of no. guilty to the counts in the indictment
charging him with passing false papers, or
dered TO be entered by the court, be eX.
plunged from the records on the ground that
persons eXtradicted Tor one offence could rot
be tried Tor another; and, further, that Presi-
dent Grant and Attorney General Pierrepont
had ordered that Lawrence be tried only for
forgery.
Judge Benedict denied the motion 90 the
ground that the court in ordering the pleas
to be entered had complied with the proVi-
siors OF the statul es. and no instructions, no
matter from what source, if in violation of
law, could be entertained, and that the re-
sponsibility for the counts in the indictment
charging other offences than forgery rested
solely with the grand jury.
