A ground hog confined in the zoologi-
cal garden at Baltimore cane out of his
hole on February 2. This was the first
seen Of him since he went into winter
quarters, October 20. The keeper
placed some corn near the hole on Feb
ruary l, but this did not tempt him. He
was closely watched, and at l1:3O Oh
the following day was seen to come
slowly out After looking around for
little he went to the corn and com
menced eating. A beam Of sunlight
fell slantingly through the roof of the
inclosule, and in moving about the
ground hog crossed it. He saw his
shadow, and Immediately darted into
his hole The garden keeper will watch
for future movements. The ground
hog has six weeks to stay in the ground,
and on March q the time will be up
for another appearance.

Pitiful Superstition of a Mother at the
Grave of Her Child

Pitiful Superstition of a Mother at the
Grave of Her Child.
That section of the northern part of this
city which is populated by colored people,
says Leavenworth Kan special, is in
a ferment over a curious case of supersti-
ton. A little child named Mary Carter
died from injuries received from being
scalded, and, her mother being very poor,
several ladies took hold of the case,
watched over the child and raised money
to defray the expenses, including those of
the burial.
Enough money having been collected,
a coffin was provided with a plate marked
''Our baby" and the remains were placed
in 1t ready for burial. When the time
came for burial, the sun was shining
brightly on mother earth, and everything
seemed to point to quiet and respectable
burial. A grave had been dug in a quiet
and beautiful part of Mount Muncie
Cemetery and a few friends gathered
around it.
AS the coffin was lowered into the
ground the minister stepped forward and
in solemn tones brought to the minds of
his hearers the uncertainty of this life
and sought in eloquent words to bring
them nearer to their Maker. In cOncIu-
sion he used LOngfellow's beautiful words,
"Dust thou art, to dust returnest," and
was about to perform the ceremony of
throwing the handful of earth on the
coffin, when with bound, the mother,
who had until this time stood silently by,
sprang forward, and, with ''Don't you
throw no earth on my child! That grave
is dug crossways of the worldp made
the sexton stop the burial.
She had the coffin raised and brought
the body back to the city. Immediately
the entire population of the north part of
the town was in turore and hundred
tongues were wagging, saying a curse
would surely fall on the Inhabitants, apro-
DOS of the i'll omen.

BLUE RIDGE MYSTERIES.
The People of North Carolina Startled
by IA Singular Phenomenon.

The People of North Carolina Startled
by Singular Phenomenon.
DR.. j. S. I. Baird writes the AshevilIe
{ N. O. Citizen as follows: ''The people
living in the vicinity of Elk Mountain,
both on the Reems creek and Beaver-dam
sides, were startled by a strange and un-
usual phenomenon which visited that Sec
tiOn about O'Clock on Saturday morning,
Nov. 1. Standing as l did on an elevated
point ON my farm, with full and unob-
structed view of the entire Elk Mountain
range, and happening at the very moment
to have my eyes turned in the direction of
the point in question, it afforded me an
excellent opportunity to observe the whole
phenomenon. The morning was exceed
ingly bright and almost ominously calm.
At point about due north of my home,
and seemingly just over the crest
OF the mountain, and at
was what seemed to be most terrific
subterranean explosion, followed by a
very perceptible jarring and trembling of
the earth for miles around, and heavy
rumbling sound as of the deep intOnations
of distant thunder, which came on with
increasing volume for several seconds.
The sound proceeded with rapid undula-
JlOuS III an ed5JWdIuly ulTGcblOU. IOlIOW-
ing the course of the mountain, and SEEM
ing to traverse the deep bowels of the
earth, until it reached point on the hOri-
zOn of our valley about 45 degrees east
from where it started, when it suddenly
leaped forth from the bosom of the noun
tain, and, lifting itself far above the hori-
ZOn, pealed out upon the ear like mighty
thunderbolt, and thus it ended as sud-
denly as it began. | have cOnYersed with
one gentlemen Mr.. A. r. Hemphill) who
was on top of the mountain in the imme-
diate vicinity of where the first shock oc-
Cured. He says that it seemed to be
directly beneath him, and the sensation
was as though the whole mountain was
tumbling from It's foundation, with fear
full shaking and trembling of the earth. /
learn that two other gentlemen Mr.. Steve
Munday and Mr.. James Edwards who
were on the mountain some two miles
further east, describe the sound and the
shaking and trembling,of the mountain as
most appalling and terrifying, even put
ting the leaves on the trees in rapid and
lively motion. / have seen other persons
who felt and heard the shock many miles
away. But what renders it really phe-
nomenal was its recurrence about sunset
on the evening of the same day. | was
in Asheville IN the evening and did not
witness the phenomenon at that hour,
buf | am told by a number Of reliable per-
sons that there was a recurrence with the
same characteristics about the hour of
sunset"
DR.. Baird's statement is corroborated
by very many others living around the
seat of the strange explosion.
