From our Gracevll. e CORES FtEueIt-
had about come to the conclusion
that the only thing of legendary
character. which this matter-of-fact
western country could lay claim to.
was the fable, that "once upon a
time" there was high price paid for
wheat. A few days ago, however. l
learned that Lake Toqua. which, with
its wooded shores, vies in loneliness
with many more famous scenes, had
added to it's beauty the charm OF a
genuine ghost-story.
The Toqua apparition is evidently
Of conservative nature. because 1t
never dreams of acting so unlike a
ghost as to appear to earthly eyes be-
fore midnight, But, for the last few
nights, just as the echoes of the lasts
stroke of twenty-four o'clock have been
dying away, a few individuals have
had the privilege of beholding a phan-
tom horse, which appears to rise
out of the centre of the lake.
The REALTORS OF this extraordinary
tale assert that the spectre IS
one Of great beauty, and must be the
ghost of at least an one hundred-and-
fitty-dollar horse. The vapory equine,
after few preliminary snorts, dashes
off at full gallop, and makes the cir
cult of the lake at speed almost
equal to that displayed at Il Stevens
County agricultural fair. Having
performed this apparent race against
time (the beholders were SO startled,
that, although Americans, they failed
to pull out their watches and beD the
fairy charger rushes back to the start
ing point, and, with kick and final
snort, disappears from view.
/ am credibly informed that the few
occupants of the grand stand las it
were) on these occasions are all men,
who indulge in no stronger beverage
than brandy and red pepper. and
whose reputation for truth and verac-
ity is unimpeached.
