Good and Bad Four —Flour inspectors
ha simple way of judging the quality
of flour, and bakers and good housekeepers
iiso expected to be adepts, when the
easy. The surest method is said by
ho know to be the following; Look
th color ; if it is white, with a slightly
Mjwish tint, it is good; and if it is very
white, with a blueish cast, or with black
-peeks in it, condemn it. Kxamine itsad
h siveness; wet and knead a little of it
vecn your fingers; if it works soft and
: Ly it is poor. Throw a lump of dry
• eur against a smooth perpendicular sur
;cc; it it falls like powder, it is Lad.
Squeeze some of the flour in your hand,
and if it retains the shape given by the
pressure, it is a good sign. Flour that will
stand ali these tests is safe to bpy.

ri Ghost of a Priest Interrupts the
a & Addresses the Congregation.
\ remarkable story is current in I'itts
_n and other parts of' Western Penn-
V .vania. It possesses the elements of the
-iMest romance, but isreligi usly believed
by very many persons. We give it as it
was told to us, without, of course, endors
ing the occurrence as actual facts.
About two weeks ago, in the village of
Latrobe, iu western Pennsylvania, a solemn
mass was performed in the Roman Catho
lic Church, for the repose of the soul of a
. -cased priest. A number of worshipers
at re in the Church at the time Just as
dating priest was about to perform
.. .ji i solemn part of the rites, his pur
was checked by a most astonishing ap
> ■ irauee. The form of the deceased priest
himself appeared in front of the altar, with
hand uplifted in a warning manner. The
officiating clergyman stepped back, when
the ghostly priest, or priestly ghost, ad
dressed his brother in .the flesh and the
congregation. lie said they were taking
unnecessary trouble to get him out of Pur
gatory. The priest might save his prayer
and the penitents their pennies. They
could not get him out of Purgatory, be
cause he never was in it. Furthermore,
there was no chance for him to get there,
as there never was such a place as Purga
tory. It was all a mistake. He should
feel much obliged if they could get him
uui of the spot where he was, but that was
impossible. There was but two places of
future existence, one of perpetual bliss and
the other of perpetual punishment. Only
two priests ever went to heaven, and lie
was not one of them. lie therefore warn
ed them that their messes for the repose of
his, or any other defunct parson's soul, were
useless.
With that admonition this remarkable
*lost disappeared, and the congregation
dispersed.
Ou what foundation the story rests, is
more than we c-an tell, but there must have
been some event to give rise to such an ex
traordinary report. — Cleveland Ilerald,
February 25.
The Catholic Side of the above.
From <h Pit'ttburg Dispateh.
A S" range Story—The Ghost of a Ben
edictine Monk Appears to a Novice— Ti
dings from Purgatory. —We alluded re
cently in a paragraph to a current report
that the apparition of a Priest had appear
ed to the living at Latrobe ; and we present
below a detailed account of this supernatu
ral phenomenon, in which the exagger
ations of the ourrent rumors are eorreoted,
and the reality of the appearance affirmed.
After all, there is nothing more marvelous
in this than in the storieß related in Mrs.
Crowe's " Night Side of Nature," and
Oweni'e " Footfalls on the Bouiaries of
A JO ~:r ".v'orid," while it is better auihen
tickted than itaif oi the narratives admitted
into these volumes of the supermundane.
Those, therefore, who are ready to subscribe
to the truth of the narrations given by
Owens —who, himself, has come to beiieve
in au intermediate state ot progress on,
will be sadly puzzled upon what grounds
discard t!\e Benedictine Monk of St. \ in
cent's Abbey, as an illusion. The follow
ing is the communication of the worthy
Abbot:
EDITORS DISPATCH— Dear Sirs : A friend of
mine handed me a copy of the Dispatch of
the 20th instant, drawing ray attention to a
•• Queer Story," telling that recently, while
" Mass" was being celebrated in Latrobe, the
spirit of some priest or saint appeared and
communicated the information to the assem
bly that it was all a misapprehension about
" 'Purgatory ao such place of intermediate
state of probation existing; and worse than
all, that hut two priests had as yet found their
way to heaven.
The truth is, that at St. Vincent's Abbey,
near Tatrobe, a Xoviee saw, from the 18th
Sept. until the 19 Nov., 1850, evetj day,
eleven to twelve o'clock, A. M., or f:otn
twelve to two o l clock in the night, the appa
rition of a Benedictine Monk in his full fes
tival dress. —After all, he asked him, in the
presence of another member ef the order,
what he wanted. The spirit then answered
that he had been suffering seventy-seven years
already, because he had not said seven Masses
of obligation ; that he had appeared to seven
other Benedictines, at different times, and
had not been heard; and that he would have
to appear after eleven years again, if he
would not help him. He wanted then seven
"Masses" said fur Liu;; besides this the Xov
iee should, for seven dys, observe the strict
est silence and retreat : and more, he should
say for thirty three days, each day three
times, the "Fiftieth Psalm," barefooted and
his arms stretched out.
This was done from the 2ist November till
the 25th Ltecember, when the last Mass was
celebrated, and the Ghost disappeared. Pu
ring this time he had appeared several times
again, exhorted the Novice most impressively,
to pray for the Smils in Pttryitfory, since they
suffer very hard, and consequently are very
thankful to those who concur to thrj- •
tier. d sad enough, snii that of the live
P....-i who had already died at the abbey,
no one was yet in heaven, but suffering in
Purgatory.
This is in substance the facts that gave ori
gin to your strange report; we give it as much
credit as it deserves; but this report is cor
rect.

As a general thing, the Commissioners 3 f

haps of sufficient importance to tnei i;
The Commissioners have no desire t. c n '
any part of their expenditures, and here iw
their willingness to make explanations, so f ar
as lies in their power, to ar.y one whQ ß ,'j..
call upon thorn. In many of the suggestionj
of that conunmiieatio.il they see 7n.tli : '-
unreasonable, though it w uid require mui'*
labor to give in detail the various items j".
thiuks ought to be published. Oth -J
(fox scalps f.=r instance) are paid by the Tre-i's
urcr on certificates from Justices of t'h>
Peace, and are therefore not properly within
the jurisdiction if the Commissioners; oth
ers are probably so interwoven with general
ders as to render a separation extremely dif.
tieult. They however subjoin such items
may be of interost, with the remark that
far as the county debt is concerned, no part
of it'was contracted during the past year

GREAT IMPROVEMENT !

Simple aud Economical!
MAN"\ attempts have been made to produce
a Cofiee Pot capable of condensing and
retaining the aroma and strength of the Cofiee
ordinarily wasted by evaporation, and vet bs
simple enough to come within the limits of or
dinary comprehension. Hitherto this desirable
end has beer very imperfectly attained, and by
means difficult to explain and understand.
THE OLD EMPIRE COFPEE POT
has none of those faults; on the contrary it i!
so arranged as to condense perfectly, and theie ;
by retain all the rich fragrance and strength of
the Coffee, giving a most delicious beverage a'-
a quarter less expense, and yet is so perfectly
simple that it is actually impossible to txaltc
any mistake. A child can comprehend the
whole thing perfectly. All who have used thu
Coffee Pot are delighted with its great simplicity
and excellence. For sale at the Tin and Store
