THE appearance of a ghost. it is said, has
thrown the people of CHARTERS into fever of
excitement. 1t is reported that the ghost can
be seen almost any time after dark. A gentle
man who came within reach of the ghost dealt
the object blow from his gold headed cane,
breaking the cane, but having no other effect.
At the morning services of the church the
following announcements are made: Don't be
afraid of the ghost. Come to the evening SER
vices" This does not seem to have the desired
effect, for the attendance is small. 1t is be-
lieved that Mr.. and Mrs. Ghost will be brought
to close quarters before long.
