had been sold to outside parties. Fur
ther inquiry fails to verify this report.

Sanborn Of much care and RESPONSE
bility.

grocery store, on the corner OF State and
Fifth streets, to Mr.. Andrew Ford, of
this city. Mr.. Ford has resided here
for some years, and owns a place on

Capt. w. A. Rogers was stricken with
paralysis on Wednesday night. The

John SUNNY then gave Us leaf from bis
personal experience. lie said that some 20
years before when he was young man, be
ing then on his way across the Negro
Mountain. be called at q house in the out
skirts of the settlement, then occupied By
lone woman with her family Of children.
She received him with great eordiali;y and
managed to detain him for supper. after
which she insisted upon his staying all
night. Upon his refusal a cloud that boded
mischief passed over her countenance, and
then il was he recollected that she had the
reputation of being witch. he now felt
that going or staying be was at her mercy.
However, as the sky was clear and there had
been fresh fall Of snow, the full-orbed
moon eheered him with her light, for he
might soon reach safer quarters. Passing
through an aband ned clearing near the
verge Of the forest be heard a noise over
head. and saw large flock Of wild-ducks,
the CLINT OF whose white wings was distinct
ly visible as they wheeled around and final
ly settled on q natural mound near by.
Hsving no gun he shied club among them,
upon which they arose with loud cry and
disappeared. Being evidently the work Of
enchantHent il made him feel uneasy and
hasten all the more to escape the uncanny
influence. he soon arrived at bridle-paih
leading two miles through the forest to a
farm house beyond. He had scarcely enter
ed the forest when it suddenly became dark
as Egypt, and gradually there broke out all
around him the dismal wailing of myriads
Of cats of every kind and condition. OF
course be knew that it was only an Illusion,
but all the same every hair on his head bris-
tied up with terror. He shot like meteor
along the narrow trail, lever stopping until
he had reached his place of refuge The
sext morning he reviewed the scene, but
found no trace ofany living creature excep,
the tracks he had made in his hasty flight,
which showed, by the length Of the inter
walls, that he had made better time than he
had ever done before in his life. The hour
was now late, and as there was no one pres
ent to give US the witeh's version Of the sto-
", we went to bed.
