THE eyes Of an owl would be at
fault on such a night as this. Be
quiet you brute DO you mean
to repay my confidence by break
ing my neck ?"
The animal had SHE'D SO vio-
lently as tonearly throw his rider,
and S God trembling in every
muscle. His master peered into
the darkness in the enleavor TO
make ont the cause Of his terror.
He could perceive before him The
dim outlines of dismantled
church, with its broad avenues of
gravestones clustered about it.
Beside the road, so close that he
could have touched ii with his
whip, he discovered an indistinct
white object crouching upon one
Of the graves.
Resolved upon knowing what it
was, he dismounted and approach
ed it. As he did SO, The figure of
a young girl rose and fed rapidly
away.
He called aloud that he was a
friend and that she had nothing to
fear. The only answer was the
weird wall of The tempest through
the broken arches. With a feel
inc akin to superstitious terror, he
hastily remounted his horse, and
did not draw rein until he reach
ed the village inn.
"Who occupies the old church
yonder % he inquired of he land
lord.
"Ah you too, have seen it,"
exclaimed the landlord, mysteri-
ously.

When she was alive her name was
Ada Morton. Her father died a
year back, leaving her heiress to
his property. Asshe was minor

Eastburn, her guardian, who, in
case OF her death unmarried, was
to inherit the property. One
night, just such 8 nightat this,she
disappeared. Her hat and cloak
were found next morning. Mean

Like many other young men of
fortune, Charles Barclay was af
ficted with too .nuch leisure. His
sole object in this part of the
country, WAS merely a Ianguid
search after amusement. The
landlords story, had strongly a
reused his curiosity.
Without dropping hint as to
his Intentions, he lett the inn on
the next night, shortly after IL
O'Clock, and proceeded to the
church. The place was silent and
deserted.
For more than an hour nothing
occurred to attract his attention.
He became drowsy, and was on
the point Of falling asleep where
he sat, when a low, wierd peal
from the old organ moaned
Though tic chnrch. He sat erect
and istrned with suspended
breath. The sound rose higher
aud clearer, and presently the
sweet but mournful tones Of a
Woman'5 voice, Joined in. He
strained his eyes through the
darkness but could see nothing;
arising, he called out;

LOCAL INTELLIGENCE
A BATTLE IN ANNVILLE.

College Statlents Against the Town Boys
A rattling fight took place late Satur
day night in Annvillc between the Leba-
non Valley college young men and the
''tOwH boys" The Jubilee singers gave q
concert in tho chapel of the college, and a
number Of young men Of the town stood
on the outside listening to the music.
They allege that number of students
poured water on them from the upper
stories. This led to the disturbance. The
town boys resolved upon vengeance
on the water throwers. 4 short
time afterward several of the ring
leaders Of the "water brigade" appeared
on the streets, and nc sooner did they put
in their appearance than the town boys
closed in on them and left some marks Of
their regard for them in the shape Of
black and blue eyes. bruised faces and
skinned noses. The college students then
appeared en- masse at the town hall, where
the ladies' fair was being held, and COM
menced to vindicate their bruised com
panions by a vigorous assault. A general
melee followed, in which baseball bats
and stones were freely used, and was par
cipated in, not only by town boys and col.
lege students, but also by country bsys
and rOughs from Lebanon and Harrisburg.
The results Of the fight could be seen next
in the way Of black eyes, swOl-
len faces and bruised noses Several arrests
were made.

PERSONAL,

When Secretary Lincoln came into the
cabinet he found Mr.. FORBES, who was an
usher at the White House during his
fathers administration, holding messen-
gers place in the treasury department.
On the night that President Lincoln was
assassinatcd Mr.. Forbes, who was favor
ite of the family, attended him to the
theatre. Secretary Lincoln has had him
appointed to a clerkship in the adjutant
generals Office.
Signor CAMrANINI, escorted by the post
master general, who is personal friend
of his, paid his respects to the president
recently. Signor Campanini speaks Eng
lish badly and the president talks very
we'll in French. The conversation was
carried on in French, which left the post
master general somewhat out in the cold.
but at every good opportunity he would
stick in some remark in English which he
thought apropos.

that many shad will be caught above the

at all events be caught below the dam, and
that will be better than not to catch them

Mr.. Robertson is reported by the New
nomination was "reward," a "reward''
for action as a delegate to the late conven-
tiOn. If MIR. Robertson, in his action,
was influenced by a sense of duty if
he voted and acted, his honest convictions,
it is difficult to sec what claim he has for
any reward, not to speak of such great re.
ward. The action Of which an estimate is
thus invited, is understood to be this Mr.
Robertson and sixty-nine other men &C.
cepted from a state convention q certain
trust. They sought and accepted the posi-
tion of agents or delegates to the National
convention. The state convention declared
a plainly stated judgment and policy, to te
observed and supported by those it commits
stoned. 70 this declaration all selected
delegates gave implied consent. But
several Of them, in addition, made
most specific personal pledges and
to exert themselves in
good faith throughout to secure
the nomination of General Grant |
They made this pledge as the means of OBJ
tanning their own appointment as dele
gates, and they did, rs we both personally
know, obtain their seats in the national |
upon the faith of their personal
statements of their earnsstness and fidelity.
The obligations thus assumed We under
stand to involve integrity as much as the
Of ono who receives the proxy
,f stOckhOlder in q corporation upon the
pledge and promise to vote rs his princi-
,al would vote. Whether Mr.. Robertson
vas or was not himself bound, not only by
lonor and implication, but by expressly
irving his word, becomes quite immaterial
n view of the claim made icr him. 1t is
insisted that he "organized the bolt" Or,
3 it has been sometimes stated. che was
he leader OF the bolt"
This is to say, that he invited, per-
,,aded. induced others whom he knew had

to have been elected but he did not then
have the courage of his convictions,
when he would have done himself great
credit and the country great good and
saved his party infamy, by boldly stand
ing up for what he felt to be the right.
Then was the time to oppose his party on
principle, to its ultimate benefit and his
own glory. But there is no chance in
this issue either for glory to himself or
good to his party or the country. It is
not even claimed that the nomination.
which is the cause of the issue forced
upon the Republican party, is an unfit
one. There is absolutely nothing in the
row but question vi The supremacy of
leaders in the Republican party.

benefit to their party by healing its
