Lewistown enjoyed the luxury OF ghost
during the late days of autumn, and the
first days of winter The ghostly visitor
frequented the vicinity Of the Lutheran and
Presbyterian churches. People in that part
of the town were shy of it and gave it all
the room it desired to have whenever il put
in an appearance They seemed to have no
desire to cultivate the acquaintance of
being that from its appearance came from
either under or above the earth; Lewis
town people could not tell which. But not
every one in the staid old town believed in
the supernatural character of the ghOstly
visitor. A few of the bloods of the town
concluded to unravel the mystery that sur
rounded the case, and make an effort to
capture the spirit. One night they lay for
the woud-be spirit, captured it, and strip
ped it of its ghostIy apparel; and, 10 4! and
behold, it WAS a fellOw-townsman named
Rodgers. What fall for Rodgers, from the
ethereal regions of ghost-laud to that of
cell in the county prison, where his captors
lodged the would-be ghost. Moral.-Don't
play ghost.
