one OF the first things the colonist wants
to know Is whether living will be fairly

sonably cheap, and will the comforts I
shall want for myself and my family be
procurable at moderate prices?"
These are the sort Of questions that
occur to the balancing" colonist. Bur
as regards the French colonies n close
investigation can prove only one thing
namely that settlers in them ara
handicapped by high tariffs and tina
dear prices that follow high tariffs
Hence the French colonies find II eY-

are going to leave Europe find the
french colonies too dear, and even tho

Jersey Town Is Greatly Excited over
the Appearance of an AppsiiIion.
The crew OF freight train No. 4y., OF
the Amboy division, Pennsylvania rail-
road, firmly believe that they saw a
ghost while on the run from Jersey
City on Thursday night. The train left
Jersey City at IL o'clock on Thursday
night, and, having freight for Wood
bridge, N. j., stopped at that place be-
tween l and o'clock in the morning.
Fireman Bender went forward to flag
any approaching train, but his hair
stood on end when he saw a white
form, apparently a woman, seated on
stone wall covering a small stream and
rapping the stones with a stick. He
mustered up courage and asked the
ghost what it wanted. In response the
spook gave a blood-curdling cry. At
this Brakeman Whitehead, who had ar
rived on the scene, hur~iedly took to
his heels and sought shelter in the
caboose. When Engineer Campbelps
attention was attracted to the spook he
exclaimed: mo ghosts for me-" opened
the throttle and rapidly carried his
train away from the haunted spot.

figure at the same spot about a week
before. Several Woodbridge people
also saw the ghost, and the town is ex-

same manner that our sun gives light

heard some one call for help. Think
ing 1t was some boys calling for some
sport they at first paid no attention 20
1t, but the cry kept up and they finally
concluded that some one was really
wanting help. After passing through
che woods for about so rods they found
VIM. Thirkettle, of Berlin, pale as a

neck Of large black snake which was
coiled around his left arm, extending
from his hand to his shoulder. After
the snake was removed from Mr.. Thir-

ured and found to be just five feet in
length. Mr.. Thirkettle said he stood
near a tree picking berries and felt
something against his arm. but thought
nothing of 1t till all at once snakes

quickly seized him by the neck when
the snake frightened his grip on his
arm. and Mr.. Thirkettle could not get

a pony through the village. No one
knew who it was until they saw the
stranger rein up and dismount in
front of Farmer Spangler's home.
He proved to be Luther Ash, who had
travelled all the way from Ok Bow
Mount on horseback to claim Eliza
spangler as his wife. He and Eliza
went TO Owosso AMI were made one by
