A GHOST, The Waterville Mail saws

"Watervlle has ghost! A real no mistaken
article, with voice like rebel yell, and heard
all the way from Fairfield Village to Ticonc
Bay; now moan as of one in dire distress, then
a shrek like the voice of a lost soul, and anon
ayell of despair or rage-but all perfectly hair
raising and blood curdling To people on the
west side OF the river it appears to be located
on the east side, while on the east side it sounds
on the west side.
1t has been heard at night for several weeks,
and gets worse and worse, and once as the
Pullman train passed there was such an ont
break that the passengers were sure that the
cars had run over some poor wretch. The
alarm and excitement has grown steadily, es.
pecially among the French population at the
head of the Falls, who are sure that it is the
spirit of the poor Frenchman who was
drowned just above College Rips, while ago.
"Oh, you may laugh" said Frenchmap, "my
boy he laugh too, when toe i'm, hut when
he hear himself he don't laugh any mcre.' A
great company, mighty host, with guns and
pistols and clubs, were out last night, and
though they heard the voice they saw no bodily
shape. Some SOOTHING unbelevers say it is
nothing but bog cat, others say it is screen
owl; We are non-committal and say nothing"
