ELOPED WITH AN HEIRESS.

A Hartford, Conn, special says:
Three weeks ago to-day Frank ii. Cor
bin, married man living in Newing-
ton, and until recently doing business
here, and Miss Lucy A. Robbins, also
of that town, disappeared, and from
the previous intimate relations exist
ing between them, there is no doubt
that they have eloped. Mrs. Cprbin
was seen, and said Miss Robbins had
been one of her most intimate friends,
and that she had the utmost confidence
in her, but it became apparent her hus-
band and she had become fond of each
other, and in a conversatian with her
a full confession was obtained. This
was in October last. She tearfully and
penitently admitted her relations with
Mr.. Corbin, but pleaded not to be ex
posed, and promised there should be
no further cause for complaint. The
injured wife pledged herself for th'
sake of all to keep it secret, provided
the intimacy was broken off, but sooI

infatuation had led her to break he
promise, and then she began proceed
ings for a divorce. Mrs. Corbin is
very attractive lady under thirty year
and has one child, a boy five year

A Peddier's Ghost.
West Liberty Scorcher.


Rv the roadside, on high bank of
the Licking, near the northern boun-
dary of West Liberty, is a lone grave,
a little rude mound, marked by rude
stones at head and foot,sbut no inscrip-
ton to inform the passer-by who sleeps
beneath. Here lies, awaiting the res
direction, the body Of Morris Hagger-
ty, an Irish peddler, who was murder
ed in this county in 1858. To some OF
our people whose minds are imbued
with superstitious notions this is a spot
of peculiar interest Rumors Of lights
at night fitting about the place, ac-
companied by weird, spectral form
that vanishes in the air and strange
voices, have invested it with all the
dread phantasies Of haunted place
Many and strange are the stories told
of SIGHTS seen and noises heard about
this place, and many an urchin sits al
night with dilated eyes, quickenee
pu Sc and chair on end'' as he listen
to the stories told of the frightful form
that caper at night about the grave
the murdered peddler. Ridlculou
and absurd as it may appear, it IS toll
and believed that the mystic wandere
from that humble grave entered tn
cottage home of DIR. Thornby, wheI
he resided here, and ilched his knlf
| from his pantaloons pocket and playe
havoc with his queensware. 1t Is re
ported that these stories recently pre-
vented the consummation OF real e.
tate transaction in that vicinity.

FOUR GHOST STORIES.
WEIRD WITCHES, STRANGE LIGHTS,
AND PECULIAR SOUNDS.
Ghosts That Ride on Horseback.
Madison { (Ga.) Madisonian.)


There is superstitious idea with
some that horses are witch ridden. We
take no stock in this relic of an igno
rant age, but a strange incident which
recalls this oft agitated matter is the
fact that for several years the horse of
s. b. Cohen. q merchant of this city,
has been found III II pIufupc Po--r,i~a-
ton in the early morning, with the
print of leg on either side, as if he
had been ridden bare-backed. The
stable is locked at night and the horse
is in his stable at daylight every morn
ing, but for the past few mornings he
is painting as if he had just returned
from long jaunt and is wholly unfit
for service d, r:ng the entire day
Changing the lock on the stable has
no effect on the witches. The more
ignorant are much agitated over the
matter, contending that witches visit
his stable, while the intelligence O
our community don't understand th'
mysterious occurrence. A watch ha
been stationed at the stable.

There. are 10000 square miles of al

North Carolina, one ofs-the ofa
States. is but partially developed. It
| has MANY and great advantages to offer
t, immigrants with capital. It is the
hest -watered of all the States. Its
sounds and bays and nearly one hun
dred rivers offer all the water that Is
necessary for fishing or manufacturing.
/ It's minerals are of great wealth. Its
forests are immense. Think OF State
with tens of thousands OF acres covered
with virgin forests, rich in many
choice woods. IF North Carolina were
fully developed no State would lead
her. for none is richer in natural re
, sources. IF her largest rivers were
opened up the means Of cheap trans
portation would be multiplied greatly
The time will come when millions Of
neonle will dwell within our borders
when the riches buried below the
earth will be fully developed wheI
the busy hum of industry will be heare
all along our rivers, and when Nortf
Carolina shall be named only to b.
envied. But when?
The idea we presented in the Sta
more than year ago in connection
with our vast timber supply must b
adopted before the prosperity OF ou
State will be commensurate with tn
promise of its great resources. Ou
people must manufacture cur mn
! timber at home. We showed thu
