A Ghost Story.

On one of the West India Islands was
an old mansion, almost a ruin. The
owner had died years before, and it had
been long deserted because strange noises
were heard in the rooms. Doors would
open without hands, and things would be
pulled about in a very strange way.
One evening party of gentlemen were
talking of ghosts and Boosting Of their
bravery, when the haunted house became
the subject Of discussion. None were
brave enough to venture there at night.
A few had tried it and were driven out,
and all protested an unwillingnesS to sleep
there alone; until one of the party, who
had listened quietly, said; Gentlemen,
this is strange story; but | mean to find
out the cause of all this fuss. | never
saw ghost yet, and never expect 10; and
l think it time that fine old place should
be repaired. I will sleep there tonight .
Night came, and our brave friend
wendell his way to the old house. 1t
looked drear enough III the dim moon
light; but he, nothing daunted, assembled
the front steps, soaring the bats that tiut-
tered about in every direction. The door
opened readily into broad hall; and after
lighting q candle he began to explore his
new quarters. There were rooms on
either side, partly furnished; but he
mounted the stairs to explore the sleeping
apartments, for he had determined to

niture, in all but one, was in such q state
of ruin and disorder that he had no
choice; so he at once decided to occupy a
large room opening on the front, and near
the main staircase. The bed was hung
with curtains, yellow with age; and the
chairs were in rather shalzy condition
from the ravages Of the "borers;" but he
determined to be comfortable; so taking a
book from his pocket he commenced to
read. The stiffness was sppressive
nothing to be heard but the buzz
Of the insects outside, and OCCASION
ally a bat flying against the win
dow. All was still in the house, and,
smiling to himself at the causeless fears
of his friends, he threw himself on
the bed and was soon lost in sleep But
suddenly he awakens with start What
can that strange noise be? Thump, thump,
thump. Steadily it comes nearer, and
then the door opens; and thump, thump,
rightup to the side of his bed. | shouldn't
wonder if he was just little frightened,
and the more SO for an instant when the
cold nose of the dog touched his hand
He did not jump and run as others had
when they first heard the noise, but he
stayed to see what it was; and this was
the whole mystery: The poor dog had
put one of his feet in the shell of a 6 Soier
crab" The negroes eat these crabs and
the shells are thrown about in great pro-
fusion. The shell was hard and made the
only sound as he came slowly up the
stairs every night to his masters bedside
to try and find him. He it was that made
all the strange noises and opened the doors
so mysteriously. The gentleman kept the
dog and often told the story of his night in
the haunted house, where the only "Ghost''
was a poor, harmless dog.-ChrjstjG1a at

MIDNIGHT DISPATCH Es'
BROOKLYN.

BROOKLYN, July 1.-The jury hav-
ing indicated the desire to come INTO
court, at twenty-five minutes past
one o'clock Judge Nelson came INTO
court and assumed his seat upon the
bench. He was followed into court by
the counsels for plaintiff and detehu-
ant. who were received with cl'p-
ping of hands AID stamping OF feet;
They all took seats in their usuai
places and conversed with one another
AT about two o'clock the jury came
in and took their seats, looking paie.
and exhausted. Some of them carried
their coats and travelling bags III theli
hands, from which the audieuce argued
that they had co;he to an agreement
and were prepared toleaye court. Judge
Nelson requested the utmost Silence
to he observed in court during the pro-
ceedings.
Tilton and Beecher were both a0'
sent. The clerk called the jury, VINO
answered to their names in low tones
The foreman having Announced the
failure of the jury to come to a verdict,
Judge Nelson said he was sorry they
could not agree, and asked them u the
disputed question was one of fact OIL
law, when Mr.. Carpenter stated IN
low voice that it was impossible fol
the jury to agree, aud that he regretted
it very much, as the question of disa'
greement was one of fact.
Judge Nelson called attention u
the length of the trial and the impor'
lance of coming to verdict. The facts
were fully before them and had beel
