Many years ago near Cynthiana, Ind,
an Indian was drowned while bathing
in an old mill pond. farmer near by
who refused 10 loan a sheet 10 try the
rolling" remedy soon after moved
away, saying that the Indians ghost
had appeared to him. Years rolled by
and the ghost story had been forgotten,
when few days ago the Indian again
appeared. A farmer who was fishing
In the creek was visited by man. stark
naked, who walked into the cold water.
Presently he appeared right under the
rod and with an unearthly laugh got
astride of it, The farmer did not wait
for any more OF the performance. The
next night a similar apparition ap'
peared to cattle buyer, who promptly
drew his gun and blazed away at the
figure. After the shot there was q
hoarse, mocking laugh and the naked
figure vanished into thin air. 1t is now
believed that the ghost OF the Indian
has revisited the place aud watching
parties have been organized for the pur'
pose of solving the mystery.

4 inches below the average. The coolest
month was February and the hottest month
was August, the period of both extremes
coming one month late, as January is usually
the coolest and July the warmest month.
The driest region was that of the interior
counlies-from Alegany on the west to
Howard and Montgomery on the east where
the fall ranged between 80 and 83 inches.
This section of Frederick county is on
the isotherm Of $40 or one degree below

thu So isotherm, two degrees warmer and
Westminster on the 53 degree line or one
degree colder, than we are, while Hagers-
town is on the 55 degree line, that of the
