WELSH GHOST STORY. —A strange ghost seory (says the Birmingham Gazette) comes front the Principality. There is a friendly society at Peutardowe, in the Swansee amongst wh oe rules is one that the fuer ii allowance on account of a deceased member shall not be paid in cases of suicide. One of the members recently died by his owa hand, and the club accordingly refused to pay the death money. For this reasonable and just refusal the members are now complaining that. they are subjected ti serious pers, cation from an unseen, and, presumably, a ghostly agent. The manifestations began on a rei eat Sunday, when one of the officers, returning ; home over a lonely road, was assailed, es be nseerts, by the spirit of the late member, who, failing to obtain a satisfactory reply to his demand for the money, in a ,einewhat uespiritlike manner aesaileil the unfortunate man, and actually " tor.; ois clothes to ribbons." Such, at least, we the account he gave, in tones of horror, at the fist public house he came to after this terrific I encounter. But the ghost does not appear to have been satisfied with this demonstration. On the following Tuesday evening, whilst the members were assembled in the lodgerooru, the usual knocks were heard at the door as of a bother seeltite, admittance. The do r.r was opened, but no one was to he seen. The members, however, are all very certain that they heerd the vice of the deceased utter the words, "Pay my widow my funeral mency, and then I shell be at rest." The meeting precipitately I,reke up, and the members are now puzzled to know what to do with such a determined deceased brother.
