Interesting Narrative of Travel in
Norway
[Alta California ]
Hammerfest, June 26.- We arrived here
on the longest day of the year after a pas
sage of fourteen days from Christianstand,
Norway. We had a rough passage part
of (he time w lien outside of the Islands
rain almost every day, and cold astireen-!
land ; we shivered in overcoats when on I'
deck in the latter day* of June. Thescen |'
cry. however, is grand, surpassing that of
the Alps and the castled Rhine. There
are thousand* of mountains covered with
snow, and more picturesque than any we
have ever seen. Some are more thaniil
thousand fret high, nnd have many wafer
fills, fid by the melting snow. A pari of
the way there are mountain*on 1> 111 sides
A* for islands, there are thousands of them,
with a vapor hanging over tliein, morning
and evening, wnich is very beautiful
Our first landing in Norway was Chris
tianstand. Mrs. K and myself took a
prominauu through ilia city We found
the streets clean, broad and straight, and
the houses very neat. The population of
the place is 11,468. Many of the ladies
ate beautiful; most of them arc blondes,
and all have good figures. Our next stop-!
ping-place was Bergen, a city cf 80,252j
'inhabitants. It* principle trade is fish A
'professor living there told me that last
year it rained eleven months and seven
days. A Norwegian gentleman who pass !
ed through Bergen nine years ago during
a heavy rain, when on his way to America,
lias just returned and artlessly inquired if!
it hud been raining ever since. We all
cninoto the conclusion that it Imd. There
is at Bergen a museum with the best col
lection of fish that 1 have ever seen, com
prising the skeletons of three whales, from
; seventy five to eighty feet lolig, lHrgi
sharks, and many varieties of the finny

Mr. (irecu'a dcnlh, say ithuul three
month., Mil. (ircen heard singular
tioiaea tihoUl the house after liiglil and
sometime* in the day time, heavy
breathing* and tuoatia resembling a
person in the agon t* of death ; at one
tune alio heard a noise tinder the house
like a liorte rolling about and pawing
violently as though in the agonies of
death. Again she saw frequently m
her room at night after the tamp was
lighted, a shadowy figure resembling
(he head ami shoulders of a medium*
sited man moving around the wall
next the ceiling, and uniformly as the
shadow reached the lamp the flame
was extinguished, and this pheuotne
uou happened us often a* four or live
Lines in a night. At one time when
she and her family with some visit
or* were silting quietly in the room,
tiie front door, without any visible
oause, was aeen to fly violently OJH-II;
and shut again as violently, and so

Atone tiuie she thought she heard

front door as if about to enter. Upon
opening the door, however, no one
could he seen. Again near the steps
of the hack door she thought she saw,
after dark, a small white dog. resent !

another time the hagk door of Iter

her, ami she ran out of the house.
1 he apparition disappeared.
Other persons, friends and relatives,

occasions, and corroborate Mrs. ;

The most mysterious and cruttuiug
development related bv her ia raid to

1! o'clock A. M. .She was in the
celier of the house getting kindling
wood, and iu stooping down thought
she saw the lower limbs and feet of
Mr. (irteu standing by her, and im
mediately fell the pressure of a cold
hand upon her shoulder. Site turned
and looked, and reports that her hus

"In thename of the Jesus Christ,

her in his natural t< tie of voice and
language, telling htr that the suffer
ings of this life were ill no way to be
compared to those of the other world,
and that he was permitted to come
back to her to advise her of her neg
lect of duty, and to urge her to act
otherwise. He also scut by Iter uiea
ssges to his brother Charles Green,
lln. Ka.-lu l Wulki r, and to Miss 1". i
gertoti. ail living here. He further
requested to have three masses said
for (lie repose of his soul; one on the;
first Saturday of this mouth, and the
other- on the two following Saturdays.
il<- further informed her that he would
not visibly appear to her again, hut
could have appeared twice more had
he desired to do so, hut not to her but
to other persons named by bttn —his
kindred. Then repeating the word
' friend" three times he vanished from
sight. Mrs. Green says she has heard
loud knocking* on the floor, and heard
groaning*, as of jiersotisiin extreme
distress, since, but has seen nothing
more.
