The Strange NOiss which Keeps
Marion County Folks Awake.
L "SOunds Like the Meanings of Some
Large Beast in the Last AgOnies OF
DEATH Miscellaneous
State News.

The citizens OF BsrrackVille, Marion
have been very much annoyed OF
late by strange noise which they are up-
able to account for. The FAirmout Index
says the noise sounds like the moaning
Of some large beast in the last sgonies OF
death. 1t has been heard by different peo-
pie in different localities at the same time.
When frst heard it seems to be only q
short distance of, but when you go TO the
place from whence it seems to come there
is nothing to be seen, but the noise can
still be heard in another place. Three
men in different localities have searched
diligently for half dsy thinking some
of their stock Was in trouble, but failed to
seeany object that would explain the
noise. Other citizens, among whom are
John sorderly, Ed DragOo. Theo Yccum,
David Glasscock, Fielding Clelland, Robt
Clelland, ST., Eli Williams George S. Con
way and David Straight, have spent much
time in endeavoring TO trace up the noise
and learn its cause, but all efforts have &C
far proved futile, and the farmers and vii
layers are much mysn6ed.
