GHOST STORY.

A dispatch from New Haven, Conn.,, says:
"The inhabitants of Seymour and vicinity
are much exercised in mind over the exist
ence in that town of veritablc haunted
house, and those who have occasion to pass
the place after nightfall do so with quick
ened pulses and fear that they may see
something that would cause fright at least.
It is believed that in the little brown house
where John Sullivan and his wife were
found dead last winter, after having been
undiscovered for at least thrty-six hours,
there is some strange and terrible secret,
and that instead of its being, as some sup
posed, O case of double suicide, perhaps
both Sullivan and his wife were murdered
in cold blood. For some time past timid
people have hiuted that all is'not right in
the lonely little place. Two or three fami-
lies have occupied the place since the
tragedy, and they at once move out and
away, and are reticent as to the causes,
only saying that they do not care to
live there Finally it transpired that
the first family were annoyed by strange
noises. The second family heard all sorts
of supernatural sounds, and so did the third
family, and it would be extremely difficult
now for the owner to get tenant. Very
recently young man was riding along IN
company with young lady, when she sud
denly gave shrek of terror and convul-
sively seized him by the arm. He hastily
asked her what she meant, and as soon as
she could regain her composure she said
that she saw the form of woman on the
roof wildly waving its hands. Her COM
panion tried to make her believe that there
was nothing in it, but she insisted, and still
L t1~, NJ,
He made up his mind that he would sift the
mystery to the bottom, and the next night,
in company with three or four reliable
friends, he visited the spot. While they
saw nothing, they assert that they heard
many noises that in their opinions must be
ascribed to supernatural causes. There are
but few agnostics and but few more opti-
mists in Seymour. They are mostly pessi.
mists and many firm believers in ghosts and
hobgoblins What will be the outcome re-
mains to be seen.

CURIOUS ELECTRICAL FREAK.-As the
o'clock train from Baltimore was few
miles out of Washington yesterday after
noon the passengers were amazed to see
ball of fire as big as a mans hat rolling
along the line of the rails before and behind
This was little before the thunder storm
began. Conductor Barnes of the train says
that he saw the ball of fire following the
train, and that when it apparently reached
the middle of the train it exploded with the
noise of cannon shot, distinctly Jarrlng the
cars, and that afterward there was distinct
smell of sulphur in the cars. The passen-
gers, who also witnessed or felt the phe-
nomenon, were dreadfully alarmed, as they
thought somebody had attempted to blow
them up with torpedoes.
