GHOSTS DEFY WATCHERS.
& Family Frightened Indoors and
Afraid to Venture Out.

FLORENCE, ALA, February 3.-John
Taylor, a well-to-do negro farmer, who
lives three miles west of this city, is the
proprietor of real ghost, or ghosts, which
make any other manifestation of local fame
seem earthly and commonplace.
Like the spirits that visited the home of
the founder of Methodism, they are invisi-
BILE, but the disturbances they cause are
striking terror to the inmates of the house
and the whole neighborhood The first
manifestation occurred several nights ago
as Taylor was in the act of retiring. He
had just extinguished his light, when the
furniture commenced to dance about the
room, dishes were thrown to the floor and
shattered and the commotion which fol-
lowed seemed nothing short of bedlam
turned loose. At the same time shower
Of stones rained on the house from the
outside, and the inmates, afraid to remain
indoors, were yet more afraid to venture
forth.
The disturbances have continued nightly
since the first manifestation, though each
night the house has been surrounded by
an armed Gordon bent upon solving the
mystery and catching the offender.

Wedding Superstitions.

A bride who finds a spider on her we'd
ding dress may consider herself blessed.
The bride who dreams of fairies the
night before her marriage will be thrice
blessed.
If the bridegroom carries a miniature
horseshoe in his pocket he will always have
good luck.
No bride or bridegroom should be given
telegram on the way to church. 1t is
positively sign of evil.
If the wedding ring is dropped during
the ceremony the bride may as well wish
herself unborn, for she will always have
i'll luck
Kiss a bride right after the ceremony
and before the newly made husband has
chance to do so, and you will have excel
lent luck throughout the year.
Should bride perchance see a coffin
while being driven to the railway station
prior to departure upon her wedding tour
she should order the driver to turn back
and start over again, or else she will surely
meet with bad luck.

He promises Beauty new collar and all

The erection of monument to the

been suggested by his friends in many
sections of the Eastern Shore, aud
now a movement in that direction Is
soon to be- made, as appears from a
communication i'll another column.
With the committee named to secure
funds, it is safe to predict, that enough
will soon be subscribed for shaft,
which will be fitting testimonial to
his worth as man and his "undylng
devotion to duty" in his private ana
. public life-and which will be credl-
table to the people he served SC
faithfully and well. a subscription
cannot be withheld by the people
whom he served in his profession and
among whom he spent the best years
of his life ftentimes giving to them
not only his services without com
Densation "but sharing with them his
meagre means" The people gener'
ally of the Eastern Shore will con
tribute literally for monument &c
him. who are at all posted as to hl'
public career, and know of his unset
fish devotion to their interests ano
the efficient way in which he dis
charged every duty as their represeu
tatiye in the General Assembly o
Virginia.
AS citizen he lived well up to al

the peer of the best men i'll bis pro
fessiou in the State, and as legisia

a way to commend him to fatur

in erecting a monument to such
man and the funds necessary for tina
purpose should be subscribed withor
