The latest sensation in these parts
is the Eo,oad WySterg, which III
brief is as follows. Mr.. Chas. lIo
dolph, who resides at thew estMouud
was awakened one ni4ht by the bab
bling of geese. Just as he awok,
he beard one of his chrldren cal
him. He went up stairs expecting
to find them in their room, where
they had been placed in bed some
hours bcfore--it being now about | /
o'clock. 70 his surprise they were
not there. The voice was again
heard, coming from the outside.
Mr.. II. rushed down stairs, opened
the outer door, and there stood his
two children girl six years old
and a boy four years old-in their
night Dire. ses, their garments soiied
| ymud, but they were unlnjured with
the exception OF a slight bruise on
the girls face How they got there
is n mystery. Upon examining the
room thov occupied, it was found
that i've panes Of class were broken,
two panes being entirely gone, and
the piece of sash between them--the
opening being ! ft. by : ft. The
broken glass was found within the
room. A trunk in the room was
also somewhat injured, the injury
having evidently been done by a
board which was in the room and
which was used as support for the
lower sash.
Tie children when questioned as
to who did this mischief, accused
each other; and when asked how
they got out doors maintained a
strict reticence. The distance from
| their window to the ground is Ia fl.
/ Mr. Rindlaub Of the Witness who
visited the place and carefully inter
viewed Mr.. II. and examined the
room, gives it as his opinion that no
supernatural elemental agents is
currently reported bad anything to
do in hurting the children from their
bed out of the room onto the ground;
but that there is bare possibility
of their having clambered down the
wall which presented many nitches
into which could be placed hands
aud feet. ..
