Now, when I tell you that I came to
Oldtown with oxactly six hundred dol
iar3 in my pocket, nnd that 1 had no
idea what I bIioiiIiI do when that was
spent, you will feel surprised that, six
months ntler, '1 owned this place,
JStil i ll tell you all about It.
It was what folks call a haunted
place, and for ten yeaw it stood vacant
I'eopio tried to nvo there, but wcro
always frightened away. If it had
been only the house, that could havo
been torn down ; but nobody could
ever farm the land. Twelve" years
before thN, the proprietor had been a
jealous old man, who had a young wife,
whom he would novcr permit out of
his sight if he could avoid it. How
ever, sho ,vas ns sly as ho was watch
ful, and sho managed to tlirt sullicient
ly to make herself talked about.
iseing very pretty, two silly young
fellows felfin love with her, and one
used to follow her about, making eyes
aim signing ureadiuiiy, like n lover
n play. Tho postmistress said lie

And nt last tho news spread through
ino piaco that sno had run away with
him. He was gone, and sho was gone!
and tho old man came otio morning to
Lawyer lantivy, and sold his property,
at n great loss, to a man who had
wanted it for years a rich man, who
liked to havo it said that ho owned
Urn finest place in Oldtown. It was
plain that tho poor gentleman did not
care, what, beeanio ot himself ; and
when ho had got tho money he wan
uerea away, and was never seen
ugnm.
Tho new protector moved up to thu
great house in the state; but at dawn
tho whole fannlv servants, and all
returned to their old quarters. What
tnoy had scon or what they had not
seen, it was hard to tell, but they wcro

an imuriy irigiiienea to ucatii. xne
doctor was sent for for tho ladies, and
thoy spoko of tho most awful appar
itions. After this, the head of the
family and threo constables, from the
little market town, spent a day and a
night there. Thoy held thoir tongues j
but those who saw them next day knew
thoy had been well frightened, and the
man put tho placa into tho market at
once.
Lawyer Tantivy privately told peo
ple that only a coward would havo
been frightened by rats in an old wall,
and.ho sold tho property to a city man.
Much the samo thing happened, but
tho houso was not eold again. The
city man went elsewhere, and tried in
vain to get rid of his bargain. It was
left for the summer once, but tho peo
ple did not stay a week. After a
while nobody would farm tho ground.
Some say thoy saw a woman with her
throat cut j somo that they saw a man
with a wound in his breast ; somo
both. Voices were heard ; hands
wore felt ; and there, when I came to
the place, tho old house stood, with
moths nnd spiders for its only ten
nuts. I went up nnd looked at it and then
I talked to Jane. Sho had not n bit
of superstition in her, and sho agreed
to what I proposed. I went to old
Tantivy and offered him a hundred n
year for a five years' lease of the place,
the five hundred to bo paid in ono sum.
"After that," said I, "I'll give you two
thousand for tho property. Wife and
I are not afraid of ghosts." The old
lawyer shook his head. "You say
you've met with losses," said he, "and
havo just six hundred dollars loft t
Keep it. You couldn't Jive in that
houso ono week. I've tried it. I'd
make a bargain with a rich man., but
I'm not rascal enough to tako a poor
man's all." "I risk it," said I. "I do
it freely, but tho papers must be made
out fair and square two thousand
nfter my five years' lease." And so I
had my way.
Jatio ami I went up to tho houso
next day. It was a wonderful, grand,
dirty old place. Wo H :t to work to
clean it to drivo out tho insects aud
the ratsj and wo got somo fresh straw
to sleep on, for tho beds wero all mold
ing away. That night at nine wo lay
down, with a lamp burning, aud went
to sleep like two tops ; and I think it
must have been twelve o'clock, or
nigh to it, when Jane shook me vio
lently. I started up, and holding each
other's hands, wo both saw what had
frightened hor. A man stood near
the bed, a young man, with fair hair
curling about his temples ; his breast
was baro, and wo saw a great bleeding
wound there, I had my pistol under
Diy pillow, and I drew it out and look
ed at him,
"Away you go, or I fire," I said j
"I'm not a fool to bo tricked in this
way." Instead of obeying, ho slowly
moved towards tho bed. Jatio shriek
ed, and drow tho counterpane over her
head. I covered him with my pistol.
"Oile step more and 1 fire," I Baid
Ho took tho stop. I lired. A shriek
of laighter followed, and there was
no one there. I aroso and ssarched
tho place. Every window was barred,
overy door lockod. I unlocked ono of
tho doors, and entered tho adjoining
room.
A groat bod, with tester and canopy,
stood there, nnd upon this lay tho
figure of a woman all in white, cov
ered with blood. I rushed towards it,
lamp in hand. Again thojo hollow
shrieks of laughter, and nothing but
tho stained and yellow ticking of an
old feather bed lay under the canopy.
"Luke ! Luko !'' screamed my wife,
who had followed me, clinging to mv
arm. "It is nil true. Let us leave the
place."
"Jan," said I, "it seems to bo true
that this place is haunted, but wo have
risked our nil on it. Tho tilings wo
havo seou havo not hurt us, and 1 pro
poso to drivo them away. I'll tuko
you to the village, if you like, and
leave you there to live, but heio I stay
till I beat tlu'so ghosts."
"Not alone," said Jano s and sho did
not loavo mo. If you beliovo mo, day
nnd night for threo weeks, we wero
haunted in people never wero before
faoi'S, voices, hands in tho houso or
in field i and worse than nil, wo grew
ill. I sent for the doctor, who wouldn't
conic, and wo went to him.
"Y.ju nro poisoned," lie said "What
hnvu you eaten, or what havo you boon
drinking. Wo thought it over, und I
told him wo know of nothing harmful,
and that wo cooked and prepared our
own food.
"I nover know any ono to pass a
day nt that oonfoiuided house you live
in without being affected in this way,"
Hii'ul ho j evon thoso who did not oat
there. ''Constable Collins says ho
touched nothing but cold water, and ,
ho came to mo near dying."
"It's tho well, then,'' said I.
"They used to call it tho best well in
me country,' said tho doctor.
"It 1ms n nasty tasto now," said
"I'll beg water from my neighbor until
l vo cleaned it out.
And that day I began. Wo got
better siowiy, and i tried to inro twe
farm laborers to help mo with my well
Not one would come. I was almost
tired of living ns I did and feeling lik

well, nnd sat there, wondering whethe
it might not bo best to give up and go

They took out of that well two bodies
rolled up in sheet lead. By bits of
iWclry, and things of that sort, thov
louud out that they were the bodies of
the young wife of thu old proprietor
and tho young man who used to run
nfter her. The old man had killed
them both, but he must have had helj

And now people began to remember
how two iiluinbers, who had a good

Iron Men in Council.
The iron manufacturers of tho West
havo quietly prepared a great surpriso
for their employees and tho public in
general. Heretofore, when the tnno
drew near for tho annual adjustment
ot wages in the mills, the mnntuactur-
ers quietly awaited the demands of tho
workmen, then held a meeting aud tie.
cided whether to accept or reject them.
This year tlio manufacturers have re
peatedly within tho past two months
declared that instead of wages being
adjusted, as usual, they would havo to
be subjected to a complete readjust
ment, and that on n basis lower than
has been paid since the close of the
jreat strike. They also determined to
tako tho initiative instead of awaiting
tho result of tho deliberations of tlio
workmen. In pursuance of this policy
threo or four well known representa
tives of the iron trade havo visited tlio
headquarters of tlio Western Iron As
sociation m 1'ittsburg two or three
times a week during tho past month,
but their work has been done iti secret.
On Thursday, April 5th, the names of
iron manufacturers doing business in
Cleveland, Cincinnati, Wheeling, Cov
ington, Uhicago, St. .Louis nnd other
Western cities nppeared on tho hotel
registers. At about 10 o clock these
men entered tho rooms of tho Western
Iron Association, and the doors were
closed to outsiders. They were not
opened until p. m. An annual
meeting of tlio Western Iron Associa
tion was held, but its business did not
consume much time. When it was
finished a meeting of the association
organized during the great striko last
year was held. Tlio business consid
ered was tho wages to be paid next
year. Tlio men who had been meeting
so mysteriously at the rooms of the as
sociation presented a revision of the
scales of tho present year, and this was
discussed, and, after somo minor
changes, adopted as tho basis on which
tlio manufacturers will stand. Tho
exact figures of tlio manufacturers'
scale could not bo ascertained, but it
was learned without doubt that it pro
poses a reduction in wnges from 10 to
20 per cent. Tlio reduction takes in
tho whole list of mill workmen, pud
dlers as well as finishers coming in for
their share. It is made necessary, tho
manufacturers say, by tho condition of
trade and the reduction of tho tariff,
and will not bo diverted from.
Advice to a Boy.
Get away from tho crowd a little
while every day, my dear boy. Stand
ono side and let tho world run by
whilo you get acquainted witli your
self i and see what kind of a fellow
you are. Ask yourself hard questions
about yourself. Ascertain from orig
inal souroes if you are really tho man
ner of man peoplo say you aro ; find
out if you aro always honest ; if you
always tell tho square perfect truth in
business deals ; if your life is as good
and upright at eleven o'clock nt night
as it is at noon ; if you aro ns good n
temporanco man on n fishing excursion
as you are nt n Sunday-school picnio ;
if you aro as good n boy when you go
to Chicago as you aro at homo ; if, in
short, you really aro the sort of young
man your father hopes you are, your
mother says you are, and your sweet
heait believes you are. Get on inti
mato terms with yourself, my boy, nnd
beliovo nie, every time you como out
from ono of these privnto interviews
you bo will bo a stronger, better, purer
man. Don't forgot this, Telomachus,
and it will do you good. Jfuwkeye.
Cauiiot Cui.Tuni: A Boston paper
says that in tiio town of Danvers, Mass.,
the raising of carrots on nn extensive
scale has for years been quite a busi
ness. After yoars of experimenting
says Jas. J. Jl. Gregory, they settled
upon a variety which originated among
them, known in thoir locality as tho
Danvers carrot. It is in form about
midway between tho Long Orango and
Short Horn class, growing generally
with n stump root. Under their culti
vation they raise from twenty to thirty
tons to tiio acre, and at times even
larger crops.

this singular parasitic shrub for orna
mental purposes is recommended in for
eigu papers, nnd young trees with mis
tletoo growing ou them aro offered for
sale in English nurseries. It is gener
ally found ou branches of ntmlo trees,
but is not very particular in this respect,
and takes its habitation also on differ
ent other trees. It may bo raised from
seed placed in tiio crevices of tlio baik
of young, healthy branches! or it may
bo propagated by grafting! in which
caso a portion of the bark of tho tree
from which it is taken has to bo cut

Flio Ilarrisburg Patriot thinks that
tho census report is no better than it
should be, but it nevertheless furnishes
somo valuable liilorniation and nffords
curious subjects for reflection. It has
been very expcnsivo and exceedingly
dilatory, but coming along m It hns in
Installments tho better opportunity has
been given to sludy it in detail. A
writer in tlio Wellington J'oU has
been giving nttention to tho compara
tive figures it presents, nnd ho has been
enabled to draw somo surprising ns
well as interesting deductions from tlio
analysis.

Writing to the N. II. Mirror and Ear
ner, M. S. Dean says: "In 1881 1 had a
piece of run out intervalo land that did
not pay for mowing. After I had used
my manure all up, I thought I would
try somo guano. So I measured off three
acres and plowed it aud put my Handall
harrow on it and cut the sods up fine.
Then I sowed on twelve bushels of oats
and harrowed them in. Then I sowed
on 1000 pounds oPguann and stocked it
down. The oats camo up in duo time,
and grew to be a good crop of straw,
and filled well nnd stood up well till
pe. When I camo to thresh them
they yielded mo 50 bushels to the acre.
and last season I got a very good crop

No Whiskey i
Brown's Iron Bitteks
is one of the very few tonic
medicines that arc not com
posed mostly of alcohol or
whiskey, thus becoming a
fruitful uourco of intemper
ance by promoting a desire
for rum.
B .town's Iito.v Bmuns
is guaranteed to be a non
intoxicating stimulant, and
it will, in nearlj every case,
take the placo of all liquor,
and at the same time abso
lutely kill the desire for
whiskey and other intoxi
cating beverages.
Rev. G.W. Rich, editor of
the American Christian Re
view, says of Urown's lion
Hitters:
Cin.,0.,Nov, id, iSSi,
(Struts t The foolish wan
ing of it.il force in limincss,

gence of our people, niaKts

anil if applied, will save lain
dreili who resort to salixuif
for temporary recuperation,
Bhown's Ikon Bitters
has been thoroughly tested
for dyspepsia, indigestion,
biliousness, weakness, debil
ity, overwork, rheumatism,
neuralgia, consumption,
liver complaints, kidney
troubles, &c, and it never
fails to render speedy and
permanent relief,
