Bear In mind that this appeared in the clt-fame above leenlied 'opook'' baooted locality. There are weird anil lonely spots, 89 described, by the set tlers, where at nlitht a horse will shy and ncare without anv apparent cause whatever: and tliero Is a road near a certain town In this county where horse, and rider have been suddenly stopped by unseen hands ves. stopped in the darknesd and led aside from the road by the irhostiy highway men ! Others have felt :i vauue tear creepinir over them while passing this spot In the shades of nijrht, their hair even bristlliia; up and raisin their hats ofl their heads, while the frightened bead would Itart buck and sn'irt refusing to no on for a time. Thev say that beast can sometimes perceive wht man cannot : and apropos to this point. 1 will relate a story concerning canine jHTspieaeity in thH reir:ird. There was an old ruined mill where a workman had one time been crunched up amomr the wheels, and his spirit was still said to haiiat the place. A blithe youn mechanic had dten to pass bv that way in the eveninir while on a court lug expedition." In the neia;hl.orhood of the old mill the road wound thronirh a piece ol woods, and as ouryounir friend wji steppiror merrily alonic the my. branch-embowered passage, witn hissreat tlirer-like dsr.

All at ou-e the huife and powerful animal, which but a moment i betore was trotting quietly alone by his master's j side, suddenly slupjwd and ran away Into the I woods showlnpt abject tear In his movements. This ' aelieu was the more extraordinary as the tloir was i exceptionally trusty and fearless, commonly caring , lor neither man nor fccast. Just betore the doir began to give bak, the man experienced an unde- I fined fear creepinir over him his hat literally ! raising upon his head. As the dog left him the vague terror Increased till he crossed a bridge, panning a running br sjk. when the lear in-tanily forsook him and he was entirely hlinsell airaio. The dog. having. Biado an ample detour, came trisking up again, when ail wenton ns leior. '1 he dug s conduct was very strange, inasmuch as he evinced su'-h abject lear t ticking Ids tail under him like the veriest whipped cur. Now the dot; would not scare nt anything human that was sell evident especially at night, when his canine in stinct lor guardimr was commonly mo:E active. It in just as plain that he won!.

I What was known as the "Old Hickory ' Ilrewerv," located in the western part of Al- ' toona, and owned bvMr. Martin Hoelle, was i discovered to be on fire about one o'clock on : Wednesday morning of last week, and so fierce and uncontrollable was the progress of the flames that in a few hours scarcely a i vestige of the brewery or the stable adjoining i was left M mark the. spot. The fire is sup- ! posed to have been the result of accident, and : the loss is said to aggregate about $!0,000, I " on which there was an insurance of ?i.-,00. : A WrcKroSTony. Some malicious person h,ts started the rumor, and it has, of course, ! as sudi reports do, spread very extensively, ! that Mrs. Thomas Woods took the medicine purpose i of an un- i born child. Dr. T. J. Christy, the physician who made the post mortem examination for : the coroner's inquest, informs us that there was not the slightest foundation for the ru- j mor, anil, further, that the medicine which , the lady took had no properties which bring about such a result. The story is a ! Very distressing one to the family of the lady, i of whom all her acquaintances speak very i highly, and has caused them much sorrow and pain. Hanging is too easy a death lor the wretches whoso delight in scandal that they would become the authors of an un founded rumor of such a character. Let the dead rest in peace. Altoona Call.

IJoth of these men are undoubtedly eloquent, and while Inoersoll is credited with sincerity in his unbelief, the general impression is that lieecher wears the mask of hypocrisy and assumes a virtu even If he has it not.

I Now, as the man mentioned the vision, or what I ever it might be called, before he started out on his doubtful quest, there ran be no doubt as to his ! veracity, or misgivings on account ol hi memory, i M'esfiall next recount a Ptransre occurrence which i happened not seven miles from Ixiretto. 1 A young miss had leen over to the village store for some necessary articles and was returning home In the dusk of the evening. On approaching "the :orks ot the road." about half a mile Irom the vll l:tir'. she met a lady In black, with a large book open lietore her, walking with a slow and stately Htep and apparently perusing, the volume before her. The girl brushed clothes w ith the mysterious ldy. and as srK.n as she passed our informant tnrncd to look after her. Judgeot her horror when f-he saw nothing at all l-efore her eyes save the woods on eah side of tlie road. Lady, hook and all had vanished within the time It took for her to turn round. Tsow this happened in the plain. open road, where no one could hide If so distmsed. and they hadn't time to reach the w.ods bepre the ob server turned to look. Moreover, that very st had an established reputation for being haunted, and at r certain hour in the evening, any one pass ing would be sure to he:ira mvstenous sound, asot a he ivy piece of bark lalim Irom a high tree. This Mime' m sterious sound liiis been heird by ra:iny. At another time a man well known in the neigh borhood was returning fmm work in tho shadows of the evening crossing fields and wending thro' woods on a "near-cut" across the country. He had reached a hollow In the fields where hills arose on all stdes glooming on the dim horiron. Judtfe ol his feeiiiigs when right betore him rose, as if out ot the ground, a conglomerated, fieecy bundle, as of w-Ml, rolling slowly on ahead of him. This ap- rearance nvoedar.d tumbled on In the dim star ht for a good while, Ireerirg ti e Mint.
