The entertainment Mt in the burnt cork line, given
in the new hail at the Insane Hospital, on Friday
evening, was the last of the series of amusement
for the present season. 1t was given by the Min
strel company composed of employees at the hos
pi,al, headed by Mr.. Priest, genuine and born
comedian. Their entertainment consisted Of songs,
dances, Imaginable sketches, ETC.. interpreted with
witty sayings, local hits, etc, all carried off in
really creditable manner. This troupe has fur-
nished several previous entertainments of a SINH
lar nature, much to the qualification Of the IN
mates who have been in attendance in large num-
bers and who have apparently been very greatly
edited by the performances. The chapel hall has
thus far proved q gratifying success; has really
paid for itself the past winter in aording to the
poor unfortunates an opportunity to get outside
of themselves in thought and feeling. The relax
alton and diversion afforded here have been felt
in the easier management Of the patients who have
shared in the bentfi of the entertainments.

WHAT WAS POUND IN THE VAULTS OF A
HAUNTED CHURCH.

Such a commotion as there was in
town when It came to be fully believed
that our church was haunted, never in
my life saw before, and hope and trust /
never may again. It was all that was
talked about, from one end of the COM
munity to the other, until at last not q
child dared to go to bed in the dark, and
many q grown person was In the same
predicament.
The church, you know, is surrounded
on three sides by large number Of ev-
erereens, so that even in the broad day
light il is gloomy and solemn, in and
around it; and since it had got about
that It was haunted, few there were who
cared TO pass it after dark; and even in
the daytime people used to take pains
to cross to the opposite side Of the street,
so that they might be as far from the
ghosts as possible.
As YOU can see, it is but little way
from my cottage here to the church; yet
even the walls can only be seen in one
spot, and about half Of one of the win
dows, owing to evergreens Of which I
have spoken growing so close about it,
and there, perhaps, it was little wonder
that saw nothing of the ghosts there
were more than one, people said and
il was noised all about the town that
strange sights and sounds had been
seen and heard coming from within, at
late hours in the night, or very early in
the morning.
The first word that 1 heard about the
ghosts came from my wife. A relative
had died in a distant town, and I had
been summoned there, and found it inn
possible to return for a week. My wife
could not well accompany me, so when
she got letter that I would not be back
before a certain day, she went out of
town on short visit, coming back in
time to open the church doors Of Sun
day morning, and then it was that she
learned that there had been terrible car
ryings on in the church while we had
been gone. Lights had been seen
cleaning out through the evergreens,
and sounds had been heard by people
that were entitled to credit; and one
more daring than the rest had entered
the yard at the dead hour Of midnight,
aAd had clambered up to one Of the
windows, and had tumbled back in
great alright, at the risk Of breaking
his neck, and hurried away as soon as
he could, declaring that he had seen o
figure dressed in long white robe glide
along the aisle and disappear along the
passageway that led to the vaults be-
meath; and he also maintained that he
had heard sound coming up there

And men Of all me ages
That shall sweep In grandeur BY,
Shall come 10 view this holy pile
And revere Its history;
More than the Coliseum
Shall this grand cathedral be,
Because within It's holy walls
Was shaped our destiny.

For within these walls was truly shaped

How Gov. Hayes Met and Won His Wife.
After Rutherford B. Hayes graduated at
the Harvard law school in 1916, he COM
menced the practice of law in Fremont,
Ohio, and was considered brilliant, rising
young man. He was fine appearing, in
telligent, and handsome, and as it was well
understood that he was the heir of his bach

banker and merchant of the town, young
Hayes was considered good catch by
mothers all over the state, who had mar
riageable daughters. In 1s49 or 1850,
young Hayes visited his mother at his birth

"Mr. Ii. Nortrup, a German grocer, Tor
long time has kept private bank account
at one of our leading savings institutions.
On Thursday. he went TO the bank and
checked out $1,000 On reaching his
place of business he thought he would count
the package. Instead of S 600 he found
$4,000 in The pile. Being somewhat busy,
he delayed returning To tho bank that day
to right the wrong. Yesterday morning,
however, shortly after the opening, be APP

replied the teller. Whereupon the honest
Teuton told the bank man how his check
had been doubly honored, and passed over
the thousand dollars. Then The teller told
Nortrup that he ought TO have brought
back the money The day before; that had
he been an honest man be would have done
SO and that he had laid himself liable to
arrest in not pursuing that course. The
grocer left, receiving neither thanks nor
the promised $50. He feels aggrieved.'
