The citizens of Caramel have been living in a state of suppressed excite ment since Thursday evening, because of a miraculous yarn told by a young man of 20, who, while coming through the woods from English Centre, came across a ghastly find a human hand. The wayfarer lost his way when about two miles from Cammel, which took him into the wildest recesses of the forest. Evening was fast approaching, and as the young fellow did not fancy the idea of spending the night in so undesirable a place he kept pushing on, trusting more to luck than any thing else to bring him to English Centre or some habitation where he might rest free from the dangers which lurk in this region. In pushing his way through an opening into a spot less densely grown with shrubbery and trees, the young feliow declares that he found a vest lying on the ground, and fastened to one of the lapels was an emblem of the I. O. O. F. He removed the trinket, and on looking around discovered a felt hat lying nearby. After a casual glance of the surroundings the young man started off again, but had hardly gone two paces when he barely missed step ping on a human hand. The shock following the horrible discovery ren dered him speechless for a brief in terval, but with an effort he regained his secses, and without waiting to pur sue investigations any further, dashed off as fast as his weary legs would carry him. Toward nightfall he reach ed Cammel in an exhausted condition. At Hostrander's boarding house, where he put up for the night, he related his adventure, designating the spot as best he could, where the ghastly find was located. The following day a posse of twenty five citizens, with the young man m the lead, started on a search to inves tigate what to them looked like a murder. The place was discovered after a diligent and protracted hunt, the vest and the outstretched hand were wanted to establish credulity to the story as related by the hero of the adventure. Despite the evidence which was wanting to give the slight est foundation to the yarn, the young fellow stoutly maintained that he was telling the truth. There are quite a number of citizens who are disposed to pursue the investigation further, and the probabilities are that another party will be organized this week to make another effort to verify the story of the ghastly find and clear up the mystery.

The following article appeared in the Plii'adelphia Times on Wednes day. , Williamsport, September j. The little town of Laporte, Sullivan county, on the top of the Allegheny mountains, along the line of the Wil liamsport and North Branch Railroad, is experiencing a rare sensation. A man named Cresno has gone into a trance, and every effort thus far has failed to revive him. Cresno has been a resident of Laporte for eight years, working for the Union Tanning Com pany. Where he came from no person knows, and nothing is known of his life previous to the time that he ar rived at Laporte. He spoke of him self very little, and was a peculiar fel low. He was a good workman, and was always deeply interested in religious matters. His spare time during the past vear or more has been devoted to a religious work he had purchased, and some time ago he announced as his belief that Christ had not yet be come a living person, and that he was destined to perform many miracles that are prophesied in the Bible. He also stated that on September 2, 1895, he would go into a trance, and remain in that state forty days and forty niehts. Little attention was paid to these remarks, but yesterday, when those who had heard him talk thus learned that he had actually gone into a trance, they were surprised, not to say alarm ed. The people at his boarding house, fearing that he was dead or dying, sent for two Laporte physicians, who said that Cresno was by no means dead. They did everything in their power to revive him, but failed. Then two physicians from Dushore were sent for. They also pronounced the man in a trance. The medicine usu ally given person while in that state was administered, but to no avail. The four worked yesterday and to day, and have effected no change in Cresno's condition. Except that he has not changed color, Cresno is to all appearances as dead as a door nail.
