A Candy-loving Ghost,

A very singular circumstance is said
to have occurred in a family in this city
.ew days ago. 1t appears, fir ON what
information we have, that the family
was sitting in what is called a circle,
and were supposed to be holding COM
munion with the Inhabitants ofthe outer
world, when little girl, formerly known
by the family, who had died some time
before, came, and, as she had promised.
placed in the hand of the head of the
family piece of candy. In their Cir
cies this girl had frequently been visi-
tor, ana mad often said that she would
bring him some candy. but had never
done it before until the occasion above
mentioned. The canay was pronounced
genuine, and is still preserved and
shown as evidence OF the fact, together
with the word Of the family that it came
in the manner described. 1t is in the
form OF piece of stick candy, and what
is most remarkable, it is asserted that
when held in the hand and thereby sub
jected to animal heat it is changed in
shape TO perfect representation of q
rose; that when the animal heat is with
drawn 1T returns back to its ori ginal
shape. This wonderful phenomenon, we
are told, has been witnessed by num-
ber Of our cltlzens whose testimony
would not be questioned by any one on
any other subject besides that of spirit
ualism and phenomena OF what is
termed naturalization. We have not
had the opportunity OF seeing the candy
ourselves, and don't expect to, but give
it to our readers as a circumstances
which we have been informed by num-
Der of persons is correct.-[Couhcil

BOILING EGGs.-There is an objection
to the common way OF boiling eggs,
which people do not understand. 1t is
this: The white, under three minutes'
rapid cooking, becomes tough and In
digestible, while the yolk is left out.
When properly cooked, eggs are done
evenly through like any other food. The
result may be obtained by putting the
eggs into dish with coyer, or in a
tin pail, and then pouring upon them
boiling water, two quarts or more to a
dozen eggs, and cover and set them
away from the stove for fifteen min
utes. The heat of the water cooks the
eggs slowly and evenly and sufficiently,
and to jelly like consistency, leaving
the center or yolk harder than the white,
and the egg tastes as much richer and
nicer as fresh egg is nicer than stale
egg, and no person will want to eat
them boiled after trying this method
once. 4 .s ,s-.

RESERVOIR DISASTER.

No Lives Lost, but Buildings CrumbIe
Like Paper-Great Damage to Proper
tY.
At $50 P. NJ, on the 30th ult., not
withstanding all human exertions to
prevent the disaster, the reservoir dam
at Worcester, Mass, gave way with a
crash, and go, 600, 600 gallons (140acres)
of water, forming a solid mass 20 feet
high, rushed down the ravine with a
velocity of twenty miles an hour. The
ravine was 100 feet wide, and a mile
long, and confined in this narrow space,
the water tore along, crushing down
large pine trees, clearing out the rear
and front walls Of fine dwelling house
owned by E. w Olney, while a small
cottage opposite was taken up whole,
and Whirled around ON the surface of
the water like a top. Three Or four
other houses likewise suffered. At
Kettle Brook, further down, J. A.
Smith & Co. s WOODEN mill stood at the
head of dam. When the mass Of
water struck this it gave way, and
three-fourths Of the mill was swept
down the stream. The next mill the
BOttOmly, was completely destroyed.
The boiler of AshwOrth & Jones mill,
while being borne away like a chip,
exploded. The railroad embankment
Of the Boston and Albany railroad next
succumbed, revealing after the passage
Of the water, a gap 400 or 500 feet
wide and 20 feet deep. The passenger
and freight depOts were left standing
Near GAINESVILLE section of the
stream forced its way on to the line of
railway, and the grade being steep at
this point, the water rushed down the
track 10 feet high, tearing up the rails
for mile About two hours from
the time the LyndebrOok dam broke,
the flood reached Leedville and struck
the Salinet mill owned by Albert Cur
It's 1t crumbled into ruins, and the
dam gave way. In three hours New
Worcester, nine miles from the start
ING point, felt the shock; thus three
miles an hour was the average speed,
although the first mile was made III
three minutes. The Boston & Albany
railroad will not be open for travel for
several days, but their trains viii run
as usual via Ware River, and Boston

sible to estimate the loss.
