The Historic Hatchet,

We take the hatchet for our text, be-.
cause to morrow is the anniversary of
the birth of Washington, and the legend
of the little hatchet is inseparably con-
nected with the memory of the great
man. And yet these matter. of fact peop-
lie, who go patiently mousing around
among old documents and records, say
the pretty story is not true-and so an
other cherished belief is shattered. Still
the hatchet remains an emblem for q
truthful man, ,(when it does not suggest
the Indian with his tomahawk) Though a
good many of our fellow citizens have
evidently buried the hatchet, as it does
not appear as sign over their doors.
Railroad men are supposed to have use
for the hatchet as trade mRrk-except
agents of 'The Burlington" who have
no need for anything but the truth in
detailing the advantages and attractions
of the 1900 miles of track of system, the
superb equipment, the fast time, the
courteous treatment, the sure connec-
tions. Call on any railroad coupon tick

Exorcising a Ghost with Holy waser.

) Exercising Ghost with Holy Water.
For some. time there has been great
deal of talk regarding haunted house
which stands on the Oregonia and Har-
.veysburg pike, about eight miles from
Morrow, o. The house is the property
of Dan Gallagher. who is one of the
noted characters of Warren county.
The fame of the ghost rapping in the
house spread far and near, and investi-
eating parties were organized, which sat
up to meet the ghost. The rappings in
variably occurred shortly before mid
night, and continued several minutes.
Some of the boldest of the investigators
rushed out to the window, but could see
nothing. The tapping, however, would
at once cease on their approach.
Finally Gallagher declared that he
would fix the ghost. He secured YES
sci containing holy water from the
church at Oregonia, and the ghost was
exercised in the presence Of many curl
GUS spectators, several of whom had
come from distance.
The scene was a most dramatic one,
Dan approached the window and re-
moved his hat, which was the signal for
/ the others toauncover. Sprinkling the
window profusely with the holy water
Dan in tragic tones thus addressed the
invisible visitor: -.
"If you are bad spirit depart hence
and never return. II you are good
spirit come forth and show yourself"
Several minutes of profound silence
elapsed, but there was no response. Dan
again sprinkled the window and repeated
his Invocation. Still no ghost appeared,
and it is said that no more tappings have
disturbed the rest of the Fries family,
and the ghost or mischievous neighbor
has certainly stopped rapping. Cor.

circumstances. even in the life of
steer, which foreshadows coming
events, and it is reasonable to sup
pose that the hay-scales, John ID. Good
and Peter, the meater, suggested any
thing but peace and happiness to that
steer. Our informant does pretend to
state with eXactness what was at that
particular moment passing through
the intuitive vision of the steer. but
his future evolutions indicate that he
had an eye to business and obstructive
impulse to eradicate from his imag-
ination all appearances of a sanguinary
future. An air of contentedness per.
vaded his countenance until the classic
features of Lee Colyer appeard on th4
numerical side of the hay-scales; that
settled it. Raising his caudal append
