A GHOST STORY.
In a lnte issue of our esteemed co
temporary, the Strouilsburg Time
nmxwred a long nrticle onteiinp
with elaborate dotait upon the clr
cwnstnnces of it ghost materializ
ing to a certain bilmlons gentlemen
aciic-aciininHd a cell in our Jail ovi
nis-ht. It is ft fine romancn wor-
they of the pen of Munchausen, and
breaths n spirit of candor. His
ghostship was in n humorous mood
and asido from boir.g represented as
somewhat cool was a very lifelike
article- Tho evidence of Jeff, who
saw Bnd conversed with the em hod
ied spirit, ought in the condition he
was in, to satisfy any doubting mind 1
cf the fact that ghosts do walk
around and visit the haunts familiar
in the days when tliey were encum
bered with their fleshy envelope.
The article is a decided nddition to
the science of ghostology and ranks
the anthor as an expert. No one
not familiar by experiment with
the condition in which Jeff was
when he saw the apparition could
portray so vividly and realistically
its size, color, temperature and ten.
nityand discourse so naturally in
spirit language. The whole des
cription is refreshing and brings to
our mind another strong argument
why certain newspapers ought to
be read by children and even intro
duced as supplemental reading in
the publio schools, Such tales
would delight the youthful mind,
and moreover from them might he
drawn useful and pointed lessons
of certain examples which they
would be wise to shun.
THIS ONE MISSES US.
The latest reliably informed
newspaper writer says a railroad
will be built down the abandoned
canal and become a competitor of
the Erie to there is no need for.Mil
fordites to begin dodging this pro
ject.
One way to secure a road here is to
make it worth whilefor.to come and
one of the ways to do that is to
build more large summer hotels.
Experience has demonstrated that
large houses in this valley, suitibly
located with ample surroundings,
will be filled with summer guests
The business is profitable, and rens
onably certain.The advent of people
would be of great benefit to the rais
ers of produce, and of vast benefit
to the , whole surrounding commu
nity.
Railroads would probably never
induce manufacturing to a great ex
tent in the county, nor in this town
and the agricultural interests are
difficult of development. Our nat
ural scenery, fine roads, and invigor
ating climate are our passports to
prosperity and all that 14 neoessary
is for ns to utilize the gifts nature
has so lavishly bestowed by open
ing up a way for the health and
pleasure seekers from the cities to
"corue here and enjoy them. There
are many and splendid sites for such
houses in the valley and on the hills
why not occupy them?
PROPEBTY WILL SUFFER.
Closing the D' and H. Canal will
occasion much hardship along its
line in this county. Many promrtis
were built almost solely with refer
ence to its trade, and their vahio
depended wholly ou iU continued
existence. Now that it is to he
abandoned they will greatly depre
ciate, and, in some instances where
little lund is attached to the build
ings will become practically value
less. This will in many cases almost
ruin the owners

GOT THE BIGGEST SQUIRREL
That Achievement Led Jnmea Stone
1 1) Asralnat the BlKKrat Wildcat.
"I shot a squirrel once that was two
feet and a half long and weighed five
pounds," said James Stone of Mercer
county, Pa., "and although I believe
that squirrel was the biggest one ever
killed In Pennsylvania or anywhere
else, I guess, It was all the more re
markable because if I hadn't killed It,
I wouldn't now hold the record for
having killed the biggest wildcat the
State ever got rid of.
Ijvasit for Ms'rJ.'VfpTOp-
. saw something bounding through are
top of an oak tree that startled me. It
was so big that I thought some fox
must have suddenly become seized
with the power of climbing trees an,
scurrying through the branches a . I
was exercising It. I wasn't so startle .,
however, that I let the big animal get
away from me. I fired, and down It
came tumbling to the ground.
- ,
'That's satisfactory,' said I to my
self. 'Now, let's see what we've killed.'
I took a couple of steps toward the
spot where the game was lying, anil
then stopped so suddenly that I almost
fell over backward.
This,' I said to myself again, 'Isn't
quite so satisfactory, and 1 gues we
won't see what we've killed, Just yet.'
On the lower branch of a tree, just
ahead of me, and between me and the
tree out of wbleh I had shut the ani
mal that had start'ed me, lay a wild
cat, the like of which I had never seen
before. It had evidently been lying
there in wait for its dinner, and per
haps had its eye on the animal I had
ihot. However that might be, the big
;at now had its eye on me, and I didn't
like the way that eye glared, either.
At first I thought I would call every
thing square as it was, leave my un
known dead game for the wildcat tQ
dine on, and go home without further
investigation. Then It seemed to me
that if I retreated thus, and told my
adventure when I got home, as I cer
tainly couldn't help doing, I would
naturally be looked at somewhat with
suspicion; so I resolved to save my
reputation, enlarge my zoological
knowledge, and also get the $2 bounty
on that wildcat's scalp. I put in a big
iouble charge of squirrel shot and pre
pared for action.
"The wildcat remained on the limb,
srouchlng as if ready to leap upon me,
emitting the low, savage growls or
snarls peculiar to Us kind when en
raged. The animal wag twenty-five
feet away, but as it Is no trick at all
for a wildcat to spring a distance of
thirty feet, even on the level, I knew
this one could easily launch Itself upon
me If It was so Inclined. Consequent
y. I did not wait for this possible overt
ict on Its part, but fired.
"The Immense beast leaped straight
up from Itit J J n)! when the chargo
truck it. Falling back, it caught with
the long, sharp claws of its forepawa
an the limb again, where It hung,
writhing and filling the woods with
frightful yells. They were so frightful,
in fact, that I was almost forced to
tbandon the field after all and leave
the wildcat to fight it out by itself,
lust then, though, blood began to pat
ter down from the wound my shot had
made, and 1 loaded up to give the ani
mal another shot. Before I could do
that, the wildcat's hold on the limb
relaxed, and the animal came tumbling
to the ground. It lay still for a sec
ond, but then, badly wounded as it
was, rose to Its feet aud rushed at mo
with short, quick bounds. I had no
time for reflection, but blazed away
again. So fierce was the aafsault of
that infuriated wildcat that, although
that last charge filled Its heart and
lungs with Bhot, it did not lessen the
velocity of the assault and tho nnlma!
j lashed right on, striking me on the
breast with its huge, sharp claws,
which closed spasmodically on my
Nothing as they struck. The force
with which the wildcat buried itself
against me threw me backward to the
ground, -and the cat fell Bqtiare upon
me. Hut the great brute ai dead
Uad been dead, in fact, before it reach
ed me. I crawled hastily from under
the dead animal, drenched from head
to foot with its blood.
"After recovering as much of my
equanimity as I could under the cir
cumstances, I proceeded to investigate
the other thing I had killed. I could
icarcely believe my eyes when I saw
it. It was a squirrel, true enough, but
bigger than any three of the biggest
squirrels I had in my bag, and I had
some big ones. It was as red as a red
fox and with a brush almost as long.
The wildcat measured nearly five teet
a length aud a three-foot wildcat U a
big ore."

it was in tne latter part of January
years ago that I found myself at
Hawk's Landing, on the Minnc-iiu side
of the Mississippi river jm;t linv the

the day's trip had been completed. Tint
the delay may have upcet him, nnd I
think he her,an drinking bi-rnre we
started, although no one then noticed
It. He certainly had provided himself
with a large hotile of liquor, as 1 soon
had occasion to know. I suppose I
could rot have hren more than 12 o- 13
years old, althouph life In a new .-nun-try
and on u farm hnd ;;lven tr.r. n.itllty
to take caie of myself beyond my
years.
We were not yet half way when
the sun was only a little above the
Minnesota bluff:-., with hli; orange sun
does Rtni'dlnf,; up eu-h side of It. ,Tut
as It disappeared below t'-o bluffs the
driver slid out of his s at into a drunk
en sleep in the bottom of the sleigh. I
climbed over Into the front scat and
took the reins myself.
"You seem to know how to drive;
do you think we ran get there to-nli-ht?"
asked the ether pasf engcr.
"I can drive four horses," I answer
ed very proudly. "We can get through,
I guess, if U doesn't storm so that we
can't follow the ti ees."
I had for some time beon looking
anxiously for the lights of the town,
although there w.'s no hope of sowing
them yet, when n.y interna, --. at
trsrtcl h.r dn-k ohjec! on lui-'-now
far to the right toward the Wisconsin
shore.
The man saw it ami said: "What's
coming over there some other
teams?"
"They wot. id:.", be going En fast," I
answer'.d, piii. t i: op the whip from
the bottom of tiii- slclli. The shalow
was r.ow (lircilo to the rlfht.
"It's some scrt of an animal," went
on the man. lie prat-rd for a moment
and ad ilcd: "Thry look like big does."
At that moment there came the cry I
had so often heaid at home, only much
de.M er, harsher and louder.
"They're wolves!" I said, nnd I
cracked the whip nt the horses, al
though that was hardly necc? ry, as
they heard the savtie how: a; well as
we did and knew It meant d uifier.
The second time I looked back I saw
that the pack v?s much nearer. I could
make out the let! tiers and rco that there
must t-e 20 or 30 of the animals, all
told. My fellow p.isEcnper was cling
ing to the seat ami crying to me to
drive faster, all':oi;(.h the horse 3 were
fairly running away and I had practi
cally no control over them oue way or
the other.
"Can't you throw out the trunk and
back eat?" I shouted to him.
I heard the man throwing nut tho
small .sicks and the buffalo robes. Tho
robes seemed to delay tho wolves
longer than anything eNp. They
stopped nnd tore them to shreds. We
got a quarter of a mile statt. All this
time the drunken driver was steeping
like a log In the bottom of the rlclsh.
The horses were becoming exhaust
ed, and I could feel that they were go
ing slower. ' Right ahead I cuuld Bee a
high ridge In the ire where It had
cracked and shoved up. A notch had
been cut In it Just wide enough far a
sleigh to pass through. I held the
reigns steady and tried to slow up a
little, In tho hope of steering safely
through the narrow crack. As we
came tip to it I saw a dark streak be
tween the rough cones at either side;
the crack had opened two or three
feet during the day and new ice had
formed. We struck the opening In the
ridge squarely; the nigh horse reared
up and Jumped over the new Ire, but
the other stepped on It and broke
through with one fnrwirl Icl-. Ho
fell, but the other horse drapsed lilm
and the sleigh beyond the crack,
where we stopped all In a Itonp.
1 Jumped over the dashlioird and
fell In the snow bealde the horse. He
was struggling to rise, hut I f;uef,jid
what had happened and threw my body
across his neck and felt of hla leg. It
was crushed and broken. I got out my
knife, cut the breast strap which held
the neck yoke and called to the man
to unhook the truces, which he man
aged to do at last.
The wounded horse wes asnln strug
gling to rise, ami had sprawled him
self out of the way. I shouted at the
other horse; he started with n bound,
and the man and I threw our
selves into the sleigh, half Knocking
out our trains as our headj struck to
gether. We looked back tutil saw the
whole hungry pack fall upon the aban
doned horse and bear him down Just
as the poor animal had succeeded in
getting upon his three sound lcj.-s.
The horse that was stili niLu hfd to
the sleigh plur-tl on biavcly for sohte
