On Wednesday afternoon OF last weeS
at about three o'clock, Mrs G w Burk-
hart and sister hearing noise up stairs,
at their home, on the corner Of Ferry
and Eighth streets, assembled the stairs.
When near the door, tail, dark look
ing woman, dressed in white, emerged
frem q bedroom door and stsed before
them, ghostly and gravelike. She
raised her hands, when her beholders
became frightened and fell down stairs,
and nsthing more was seen ofthe appar-
ition. This Is the story they tell, and
we have no citizens more truthful. 1t
Is claimed too that they saw the ghost
as plain as anything could be seen, and
both described the woman alike. They
were not superstitious nor believers In
such things. SO that It Is hard to account
for the matter, nor is il for US TO do SO.
We caa only chronicle the facts in the
case. It is now claimed that the house
is haunted aud that this same ghost
makes an annual appearance, others
claiming that they have seen 1t and de-
scribe it In the same way. Mysterious
noises have been heard, not like the
running of rats nor creaking Of BOARDS,
but like - well, we suppose Ike
ghosts,

there would be no end to the silver ship

Ileve this would make them raise their
heads high, but then we are not inclined
to heap many enlogies on this affair until
the evidenc of its wealth is more conclu-
sive. Some one says three first class as
says have been made by good chemists
