Turns Things Upside Down in Old
 House on the Hudson.
 New York Herald
 In one of the beautiful old houses overlooking the Hudson. at Grand View, near South Nyack. there's ghots-not the common variety of wrath that inhabits dusty attics. but a most active aparition that sits bolt upright on a sofa in broad day, walks unbIdden into the bathroom. tumbles the soap and towels about, turns on the water. turns off the lights. causes doors to open and shut. and does sundry and divers things that nothing but real ghost could do, and a capable ghost at that.
 This uncanny visitor makes his ap- pearance in the residence of MT. and Mrs. J. NJ Blauvelt. who occupy one of those fine old houses on the west bank of the Hudson. It has a beauti- full lawn, grand old shade trees. and large airy rooms, which overlook the water The Blauvelts are reckoned among the good people of the Hudson valley, and not the sort to be seeing unnatural things; nevertheless Mrs. Blauvelt and their butler. Cornelius Racliffe have been so persistently con- fronted by the ghost within the last month or two that there is little sleep or pleasure left for them anywh ere.
 It was two months ago that the ghost first made his appearance. He was sitting on couch in Mrs. Blau-

velt's sitting room, as plainly visible as any piece of furniture in the room. It was In the middle of the afternoon, and at first sight Mrs. Blauvelt thought an elderly man had wandered into the house.
 She spoke to him. but no answer came. Again she spoke. and as she moved toward him, or it. the form seemed to dissolve and float away.
 Naturally the incident upset her and she told her husband about it. He laughed. Then she told some of the older neighbors, and they asked her to describe the form that she saw. She did so. She told of the stooping form, the deep eyes. the beard. and as sh e proceeded several of the neighbors held up their hands and exclaimed: Why, you are describing Uncle John Collinsr'
 "I knew who Mir, Collins was" said Mrs Blauvelt. ''and surely there was no reason why his ghost should haunt me or the house. MT. Collins built and occupied the house for many years. and was a most estlmable old gentle man. He died natural death and the property Is still owned by his children. Certainly there was no excuse for the appearance of a ghost in the house. but that did not prevent one from ap- pearing."
