issue of the election and lifting it above
the two false issues with which the Office

would enkindle sectarian strife in respect
to the public schools, of which the estab-

A Family Driven from Their HON Q
by Ghosts.
From the Cadiz (Ky.) Democrat

[From the Cadiz (Ky.) Democratl
1t has been reported to us that Mr..
Henry johnson aud family, who have
been living until quite recently near The
mouth OF Little River, have been COM
pei led to abandon their hume on account
Oh the extraordinary and my steFieus Yis-
itatiens Of ghosts and hobgoblius to
which they CLAIM TO have been subjected
some time past. The story goes that
johnson has been thrice married, and
that the spirits OF his deceased partners
are clamorous for their successor to his
bed and board to make di trlbution of the
effects lett by them among their immedi-
ate descendants.
A lew nights since, while one of the
spirits was revealing to q son the where
abouts of a gold ring left among her
earthly treasures, and for whicn she had
no particular use in the spirit land, the
wife, with the curiosity Tor which the
sex is so remarkable, attempted to over
hear the whispered con ierence, wnen, to
her utter CONSERVATION, she was thrust
aside by the intefpositi0n OF an ice-c cold
hand lad upon her brow, which had the
effect of repress.ng all further efforts to
pry into the secrets Of the grave. The
ghostly visitant informed the son that
the ring was concealed i'm the trunk of
A,So "iee1ihc roA, HFlnS near Lin
coin, and who is sister OF the present
Mrs. johnson.
These spiritual vistations are accom-
panied with number OF ghosty demo u
straIions Of most astonishing charac-
ter. Cats are seen to enter the house
through solid walls and make their exit
In the same mysterious manner. Gray
horses come dashing up to the house
from Hillman's coa1ing, and disappear
from sight into the earLh. This is not
the half that mas been told in the neigh
borhood where johnson lived about
these ghosts. The conclusion OF the
whole affair is that johnson and family
have abandoned the premises and lett
the ghostly occupants in quiet possess
sion.
