DEMONOLOGY.
For somo timo imst tho citizens of
Wllllfimsport havo been In a statu of
Intense excitement, arising from wlmt
sccmcil to bo n well mitlientlcnteil chso
of supernatural visitation. AVc have
been nt somo pains to investigate the
subject, not only because of lis singular
character, but because wo hove known
tho young lady who Is principal in tho
nffair, from her childhood.
Miss Rebecca Owens, about whom
all this excitement is raised, Is tho
daughter of Mordccai and Louisa 0v
ens, formerly of Dcnvlclc, lu this conn
ty, where sho was born and raised. We
remember her as a gay, laughing girl,
who apparently never saw a troublo
nor knew n care. A few years ago lior
father died, and sho went to livo with
an aunt who resides in William-sport
whero sho became a member of tho
Pino Street M. E. Church. Her ago is
about fifteen years.
Not long since sho observed that
wherever she went singular noises fol
lowed her ; or If she remained standing,
sounds llko rapping with tho knuckles
were heard, and sometimes a scraping
or scratching of tho wall. At other
times it would seem as if a heavy sub
stance was being dragged over tho floor,
So frequent did these alarming sounds
become that tho girl, and Anally the
family, became alarmed nnd betool
themselves to prayer. To increaso their
terror the spirit, if such it be, began to
call her in an authblc voice, using such
expressions as "Picky, come with us
wo want you." "Becky, they are v alt
lug for you in hell." Not only was her
namo used hut that of other persons,
On Saturday evening the Pastor was
called for, and at first ho thought there
must bo somo collusion bvtween the
girl nnd outsido parties, but investiga
tion proved that sho was not only inno
cent, but was really suffering on account
of these strange visitations. Tho mm
Ister nftcr satisfying himself on this
point, called in another well know
Clergyman, but tho "spirits" were not
to be overcome by prayer, and mocked
the supplicants. On Sunday morning
tho family took tho girl with them to
church, whero tho samo noises were
heard and her namo was again called
whereupon sho got up and left. Theso
sounds and voices were heard by all In
her vicinity Thoy followed her along
tho street, rapping and talking from
tho fences, from theground, from board
walks In the street, and from places in
accessible to human beings. During
her nbsenco from tho house, the same
phenoncma were observed. At class
meeting on tho samo Sunday tho samo
voices nnd noises were heard.
One of tho hymns commenced nbout
as follows: -
" If you want to go to Heaven,
Ton must bo followers of the Lord."
No sooner had this been sung than
tho voice returned
"You must bo lovers of tho Devil,
Or you can't go to bell when you die."
A pious old lndy and gentleman tools
her homo with them to stay one night,
ami Miss Owens slept with tho lndy
while tho gentleman kept watch at tho
foot of tho bed. About midnight th
ominous sounds were again heard, Miss
Owens being sound asleep, but In a few
moments n heavy crash at tho head of
tho bed awakened her. This was sue
cceded by sounds of sweet music which
apparently camo from the walls and
to which all threo listened in amaze
ment.
At ono timo when tho calls for
"Becky," were unusually strong tho
aunt said, "you shall not havo Becky,1
tho voices returned "we will hav
Becky I" Tho aunt asked "what do you
want with her ': " Tho reply camo "v
want her to go with us to hell."
It is needless for us to recapitulato all
tho incidents of this singular matter.
Hundreds of peopio visited Williams
port to prove tho truth of tho state
mcnts or rumors that wero llyin
abroad. Many efforts wero also made
to detect imposture, but as yet the my
tcry remains. Some assert that a gang
of devil worshippers resldo in that city
while othors say they are only a band
of spiritualists.
The effect on tho girl was nearly to
dethrone her reason, and nt ono timo
sho was taken with a lit, during which
many supposed her to bo dead, nnd
straightened out hex limbs and bound
up her Jaws. However, sho camo to
and last week accompanied her mother,
who had been sent for, to Wllkesbarre.
Tho mother believes her to bo bo
witched. Sho has been offered enor
mous sums to exposo her daughter to
tho vlow of tho curious populaco, but
sho has refused.
Wo deeply sympathize with our young
friend, nnd sincerely triiit this mystery
will bo cleared up, nnd if she lins been
rondo tho victim of heartless scoundrels
that they may bo properly punished.
We suppose it is not generally known
that tho celebrated Charlotte Temple,
of whom every lady has heard or read,
passed hor childhood In a house, situ
ate at tho corner of tho Bowery and
Pell street, in New York City., Tho
houso Itself has given way to tho spirit
of improvement, but tho locality is eas
ily bottled.

ELECTIONS.
Tho township elections which are to
tako placo in this county on tho lolli
proximo, should bo nttended by all our
citizens. The selection of good men is
of prime importance, and should not be
neglected. Tho Act of Assembly ap
proved the 30th of March, 1800, requires
tho names of all tho candidates to bo
printed or written, or partly printed
and partly written on a single piece of
paper, similar to the tickets voted last
Fall. In tho townships, tho tickets
must bo headed "Township," and tho
names of all tho candidates follow, with
the ticket so folded that the word "Town
ship appears on the outside. Tho tick
ets ior tno tmrougiis arc to ue tho same
except that " Borough" must bo substi
tuted for "Township" on tho heading,
Our friends should organizo before, the
day of election, and nomlnato a ticket,
becauso If left until then many votes
will bo lost, and the opposition would
in consequenco carry the closo districts.
Wo would advise the wo ot printed tick

Tho opposition are well organized,

Till: CLOSING! 110UUS OP CONGIRUSS.
Tho excitement nnd confusion attend
nut upon the closing hours of a Con
gressional session were considerably
heightened last evening on account of
tho veto message on tho military gov
ernment bill, which had been expected
almost every hour since tho opening
of the session on Monday last. It was
delivered to thoHoiiso precisely nt half
past one o'clock, and was soon nfler read
by tho Clerk, Mr. M'Pherson. When
tho leading had been completed, Mr.
Itlaluo offered n resolution suspending
nil tho rules of tho House, in order to
reach a direct Vote upon tho bill, tho
President's objection to tho contrary
notwithstanding. By tho decision of
the Speaker, thu question of suspending
tho rules had priority over any other
motion, anil, after nn nppt-al from that
decision had been voted down, tho reso
lution was adopted by n strict parly
vote. Tho rules having been suspended
there was no chance for tho Democrats
to defeat tho bill by dilatory motions,
although Messrs. Lo Blond, Finch,
Buyer, and others expressed themselves
ready to sit it out to tho end of tho ses
sion, If they could by any means prevent
the pas-age of tho obnoxious measure.
But they wero powerless. TheSpcaker
was against them, nnd so was the whole
Radical side of tho House. Shortly af
ter threo o'clock tho Clerk commenced
to call the roll on the final passage of
the bill. As tho call progre.--ed it bo
camo evident that the Radicals wero
united, and tho bill would receive a full
party vote, which it did witli but three
exceptions Judge Hale, of New York,
Mr.Stlllwcll.of Jndiana.and Mr. Haw
kins, of Tennessee. When tho result
(yeas 135, nays -18) was announced there
were somo manifestations of npplnuso
mingled with his-es, from the galleries.
A ines.-ago was immediately sent to the
Sonata announcing tho action of tho
Hou-e. Tho bill, however, was not
taken up until the evening session. The
galleries were densely crowded, and
even the corridors nnd lobbies wero fill
ed with anxious-looking individuals,
awaiting nn opportunity to hear what
was going on inside. The debate was
ntthcr limited, Iteverdy Johnson mak
ing the longest speech in vindication of
his eour.-o In supporting tho obnoxious
bill, which seemed to be satisfactory to
himself and tho Radicals around him.
At precisely twenty minutes to eleven
o'clock tho question was taken and re
sulted in the pas-age of tho measure, by
more than tho necessary two-thirds vote.
Cowan, Dixon, Doolittle, and Norton
were among those who voted in the
negative. Tho President pro tewnore
(Mr. Fo-ster) announced tho enactment
of the bill, notwithstanding tho objec
tions of the President. Tho Senate soon
after went into Executive Session, and
remained for some time. General Dix
was confirmed as Minister to France.
f-onatnr Slinrmnn's l.rntlior f 'P Slim-.
man, L.-q., was confirmed tu Judge of
-- j . . -
the Northern District of Ohio, nnd Sen
ator Cowan's nomination as Minister to
Austria was tabled, which was tanta
mount to its rejection. Tho vote is said
to havo been very close. Tho carousal
in each wing of the Capitol continued
through tho night. In nearly all the
leading committee rooms n substantial
repast was served up, nnd in several of
them whisky and other strong drink
was abundant. Bills passed and con
ference committees wero appointed ev
ery few minutes. Altogether, the scene
was anything but credible to tho legisla
tion and legislators of iho country. A
recess was taken shortly after eight
o'clock this morning until half past sev
en this evening. Tho indications aie
that tho session will last through most
of tho night and a brief recess will bo
taken to-morrow morning. Tho Until
adjournment of tho Thirty-ninth Con
gress will tako place at twelve o'clock,
and the Fortieth Congress will assemble
immediately thereafter.

Both the majority and minority of the
Judiciary Committee havo submitted
reports on tno impeachment investiga
tion. Tho former simply state that in
their opinion tliero is sufllclent reason
for recommending n continuation of tho
investigation to tho next Congress, but
they submit no evidence. .Tho latter
(Mr. Rogers) says that tliero is not a
particle of testimony in nil that has been
taken which will sustain a siuglo
charge contained In tho resolution au
thorizing tho Investigation ; and, fur
thermore, that tho evidence taken by
tho committee Is not such as would be

The general Impression is that 'the

The lands held by this Company, consist of
FOUll HUNDRED AND FORTY
ONE ACRES,
and sixty-four perches, of cniefully selected land
lying southwest of Wllkes.llarre, I,u7cmo couu
ty. Ha., in tho western part of the Great Northern
cr W oinins Coal Hasiii.
A very careful and thorough examination re
cently mado has proven thco (for tlio nbovo)
Imidi to ho tho embodiment of a vast amount of
tho very best quality of atithracllo coal, bavin
every facility that could bo desired for tinns
poi latlon in all directions. Tho abovo tract U
crossed by n good load, nnd also directly in
front, and Joining aro tho I.ackawnuna illloom.
buri; railroad, and tho Wyouiins canal, tlms of.
fordl ng tho vi ry best ndv antnge of a carrying roai
nnd cinal ruuuliig to tho very mouth of tho
mines without expense to tho company.
Tho measurement of tho dlflereiil iiedsnr scurrm
already developed was carefully obtained and
added together : tho thickness of these seams,
Including the celebrated "lied Ash," "Huck Moun
tain," or "OranJ Tunnel" vein, is thlrty-ono and
n half feet, C!i;2-), every cubic yard of which will
yield a ton, giving a largo amount of tho best
quality of eonl.
The location Is such that all tho veins may bo
cut and worked to the greatest possible advauUga
ubovc w.iter level, nnd ut much lessoxpnso than
can bo done from coltcrlcs operating below v.atar
level.
Tlio coal can bo brought to tho surface throujh
drifts or tunnel vi hlch drain thovvnler from tho
mines nnd saves tlio hoisting of tho coal. No tU
eligibility of theso lauds for clunp mining la un
questionable,. Very lately tho "Grand Tunnol
or "Hod Ash" vein lias been opened, nnd is now
producing as lino a quality of coal na has ever
been pvoduced In tho anthracite, regions. Tho
bleaker now In opcintton Is capable of pieparlm
rom 1M lo'. tons per day. Thosurfacecoulalnj
un abundant supply of wood and timber very val
uable for mining put nous, which gives the tract
tho ndvant.igo or many other coal lands. Thu
fact that almost nil valuable coal lands nro bclug
lapldly taken up by heavy capitalists orlargocor
purntions, shows that they must steadily and
greatly riso In tho market value, whllo with tlio
Immense and constantly increasing demand for
this coal, and the Itailrond and North Hrnnch c..
nal, passing by tho mouths of the mines, through
tho (front Iron making districts of IJIoomsburj,
Danville, Duncaunon, Ilarrisburg, Mlddlotmvu,
Marietta, mid Columbia, to tlde-wntor nt HoVr
de Grace, ono can scarcely conceive of n moro
profitable or pcrmanant source of wealth than
