McCrum, a few mornings since, and after closing tbe door carefully, asked tbe protection of that officer. The request, in the abynce of all apparent dan ger, coupled with the perfectly cool demean or of the speaker, and the tact that be wat an entire ttrsnger, caused tbe Magistrate to take a more critical surrey of bis visitor. Thoughts cf "Jim Cummings," tbe Toung boys daylight robberi es, "alone with a ma niac,' etc., came quickly. But tbe eye of the stranger gave no indication of mental ceberation, and the expression ol hia conn tenance was as terene and tbe tone of voice as calm as that of a friend conversing with friend. Inquiry at to the character of the danger threatening him brought the follow- irg revelation : lie bad left Cleveland, Ohio, the day pre vious, in company with a number of others, on a train of coal cars. Mixed in with the coal cars were a number of cart carrying corpses that were being shipped to Phila delphia. They were tumbled into the cara ami packed in ice. In tome casoa there were only bead or lega of the corpse. There were spirits also on the train, and two of them girls rode on the locomotive with the engineer. While the train was in mo tion these rpirila would play around the ' wheels of the locomotive std cars. They were little things abont a foot long. One of them told him the corpse ot bia father was on the train and be should go and speak to it. He went to a car and found it. He recognized him and raised its hand and let it fall on its face, tbia was, (letting his own bsnd tall on hia face). "You see," said the man, "it had no Arab, or strength, and be couldn't bold it up." Continuing, he aid, be took a pebble and placed it between tbe teeth of the corpse of his father, so that it could taik to bitn. When tbe train stopped at this station, be jumped off and wat running forward with otbera to get something, when a big fellow, who waa standing in the crowd at the depot, pointed bis finger at bim and said, "there gors tbe man that killed hia father and brother," and immediately every body Began to point at bim and make lun of him, and then they formed baidt to kill bim. Some of them bad guns and others bad ropes to bang bim, and they had boen after him all night, and he wat alraid they would find him. Everybody knew it, and all were making fun of bim. He protested that be bad Dot killed bis father or brother; said that bit father died twenty years ago, and that bit brother was hurt oa the rail road and died about ten years ago. All this was narrated in a cool, off-hand manner, as if told of another and not of himself at the principal actor, and without any perceptible evidence of excitement ,or fear, even when speaking of tbe bands bunt ing lor him to kill bim or bang him. Being aasured that no one about here would do bim any barm, and that the bands bad gone on with the train, be said be would take the pike from thia place to Harrisburg, aa be was afraid there might be some of the bands along the railroad. Ev idently be bad not been about tbe raiiroad very much, perhaps not at all, as be bad none of the black dirt aronerallv seen uron tbe lace, Lands and clolhea oi those who travel that way. Moat certainly tbe young man is partially demented, but he gives no indication of it either by the eye or countenance, or man ner of conversation. Were it not for tbe introduction of tbe spirits, corpses, etc., iu bis stoiy, his perfectly cool and straight forward way of tolling it would not betray hi. condition of mind. We have beard of bis appearance ia other places, but do not know whether bia hallucination is always tbe same, lie appears lo oe pen ecu j uarui less. Who wat he f Oriental Sews.

When, in consequence of age and dis ease, the hair becomes weak, thin, and gray, Ayer's Hair Vigor will strengthen it, restore its original color, promote its rapid and vigorous growth, and impart to it the lustre and freshness of youth. I hare used Ayer's Hair Vigor for a lone time, and am convinced of its value. When I was 17 years of age my hair began to turn pray. I commenced using the Vigor, and was surprised at the good effects it produced. It not only restored the color to my hair, but so stimulated its growth, that I have now more hair than ever before. J.

If too amm nrmtana from debility and loss of appetite; if your stomach is out of order, or your mind confused; take Ayer's SarsapariUa. This medicine will restore physical force and elasticity to the system, more surely and speedily (ban any tonic yet discovered. For six months I suffered from liver and stomach trouble. My food did not nourish me, and I became weak and very much emaciated. I took six bottles of Ayer's Samaparilla, and was cured. J. M. Palmer, Springfield, Mass. ft Ayer's SarsapariUa, Prepared by Ir.
