A special to the Philadelphia Times
from Wormclsdorf, Pa, saws: For several
months the citizens OF this village situated
near the foot of the South mountains,
range Of the Alhghanles,) have been dis
turLed by the most unearthly wells coming
from The hills. II was generally supposed
that they emanated from some strange animal
which had taken refuge in the mountains.
Mr.. Griesmer, OF the Bethany Orphanss
Hcme, Reformed Church Institution at
the foot OF the mountain, several times
heard the screams. Franklin Waterman.
Jacob Matthews, and Theodore Startze (all
cid bunters), followed up trail for several
hours, but were fiually obliged 10 give up
as they were led into the mountain fast
Besses. Stones and huge rocks were rolled
down che hill In their path, and they were
Obliged 10 dodge these missiles every now
and then. Theodore Startze says he

beast. He stood still, the blood chilling
in his veins. lie had his guu with him,
but he dared not shoot. lie next started

person has given the mountain wide
berth. several farmers lost sheep and
chickens. To-day the mystery was
cleared up. A party OF Womeis-
dorf hunters sooared the mountaiu.
They found human footsteps 10 the

they found a young woman, probably
TWENTY-FIVE years OF age. She was thinly
dressed, her Surroundings were uncouth.
and she appeared much frightened. She
has wild and haggard look, and who she
