..LawsDoesn't Protect Ghosts.

The latest ghost story among the
negroes was related in Judge Stir
mans court when johnson, colored,
detailed in evidence how he had taken
Henry Williams, also colored, for q
ghost which made war upon him.
About midnight johnson went over
to Henry's cabin to call on him, when
he found the latter out under tree
with his night robe on trying to keep
cool. He took Henry for ghost and
ran. Henry saw that he was taken
for ghost and followed close after
Jack, who picked up heavy club and
felled the supposed ghost to the
ground. A warrant was issued for
johnson, charging him with striking
with inten. to kill, but upon hearing
the evidence the court thought that
as the negro was only intending to
strike at ghost there could be no
malice in it and dismissed the CASE

most Of these old people were small or
medium of stature and spare habit
of body; the voice was rather feeble;
most of them had lost their teeth, but
nearly all enjoyed good digestion, one
old man of SO, clergyman, placed q
hand on the organ in question and say
ing that he knew what it was to have
q stomach. Nearly all of them had
enjoyed uninterrupted good health,
and many had never known what it
was to be sick. They were all very
moderate in eating, most of them using
little animal food. Few INDUCED at
all in Intoxicating drinks, and those
only in notable moderation. They
took considerable outdoor exercise
and nearly all possessed good natured
