 Long Hills latest sensation is ghost
 which makes it's appearance on the road Ito Daniels Farm, between Mrs Me
 Mahon's and the house occupied by Tru- man Favreau. It first appeared to Thom-
 as Mcclure, one Saturday night, as he
 was walking home from the depot. He says it seized his valise and swung him Ipartly around. The air was heavy and I stif1ing and the handle of the vaIise was so hot that he could hardly hold it. The
 Fayreau boys claim to have seen and
 stoned it and say that it looked like a 1 man disguised ina sheet. It is said to have fled from one courageous young la l dy who commanded it to disclose it's I identity. ssIf I thought a man or boy was hiding there to frighten women or any one else, 7 said sportsman, s'I would lay for him some night with g Igun. don't thirS he would trouble people any more. ;
