of MiddlebroOk, four miles north of here

Firemen on the Virginia Midland
Railroad tell wonderful stories of the
nightly appearance of a ghost on the
track OF that road, near Otter River,
where tramp was killed some time
ago. His ghOstship first appeared on
two white horses, but, becoming more
bold, of late the spiritual stranger, in
the form OF man, has dispensed with
the steeds, and has several times, unat-
tended, taken position on the track in
the attitude of mad bull, and defied
the iron horse. One night last week the
fireman of an engine discovered what
w h5 SuppOS6u W Uo uldu OH bne GIACK.
The engine, which was going at a
high rate of speed, struck the man and
apparently killed him. The train was
stopped, and several hands were sent
back to see what damage had been done.
The body was seen short distance down
the road, but upon the men reaching it,
it disappeared. AtOther times the ghost
has appeared in the cabs of engines, and
after surveying things generally, just
stepped out into space.
MAssILLoN, Oct. 8.-A frightful acei-
dent occurred on the farm of Daniel
Baughman, near the village Of Justus,
south of this city, yesterday afternoon.
Among a number who were operating q
saw-mill was Zacharia McFarren, aged
twenty years, son of Samuel McFarren,
a wealthy farmer living Sugarcreek
township. He was standing in front of
the circular saw assisting to turn a log,
when a spike of which he
had hold in the frame on which
the timber rested gave way, and he fell
backward against the saw. Revolving
with terrific rapidity, it tore into his
body, making a wound two feet long
and about six inches wide, and cutting
bones and everything else in its path
clear through to the bowels. Three
doctors worked four hours last night in
efforts to save the young mans life, but
he died at three o'clock this morning
from the shock.
