A HAUXTKD MANSION. In tho centre of this beautiful manufac turing city, auyi a Watcrbury (Coun.) cor respondent, stands a handaonie mansion surrounded by spacious grounds. Wide carriage drives and winding walks ap proach it over broad, grocn terrace and under interlacing foliage. Everything about it ii arranged in comfort and to please the eye. The uiiinsioii is of the t otitic stylo of architecture, moat popular 20 years ago, aud bus ulwuys been looked on as line of the finest dwellings in Wes tern Connecticut. As the city increased in popul ition it grew around this place, the valuo of which was greatly inerensed by its central locality, Hut now the pluoe is looked UMin with a sort of fear, aud people intinetiyely shudder as they pass it, dreading to look upon into its grove nnd luwui through four of seeing some spirit of evil, This four hus increased since the lust tragic event connected with the place the death of iot mistress, Miss Carrie J. Welton, who was frozen to death on Long's l'oak, Col. The house wus first built by a wealthy maiiulueturcr by the name ol Scoviil, Mr. Scoville's second manager was unfortunate his wife being much addicted to strong drink. I'nable to remain in his elegant mansion with her, ho unceremoniously do. parted, and soon died a broken-down man. The property then passed into the hands ol Joseph C. Helton, rresidcnt ot the Watcrbury Hntss Company, and cunnec tcd with about all of the mnnufactnring interests here. One night, on returning from New York, Mr. Welton heard a commotion in the bain, doing thither, he found two of his horses loose, and he wont in the stall to separate them. His favorite horse kicked him in the hronst, inflicting wounds from which ho soon died leaving no will. The estate wns divided between his wife mid only daughter, Carrie, the house going to tho wife. Amity ruled until the mother tried to get the daughter into an insane asylum. The household was then again broken up, and the house was loft to ghosts. One of the many Iron Is of the sprites is .the besmirching of the door knob of (he best chamber with u substance like coagulated blood, which reuppenrs every iiiurning niter being wiped oil. Sev oral latmhes have nttempted to reside there since the Wclluns loll, but soon gave it up, although not publicly nssigtiing any reasons therefor. Mrs. Welton had re turned tu the mansion before going to I'.ui'upc, nnd the furnishings there now belong lo her. but the house is closed nnd wears a fotbidding look. All sorts of sic rios lire in circulation about (he old man sion, one ol which was (nut the (laughter had been seen in the yard on horseback ut midnight. Although the property was put in the market at u low figure, it is impossible to sell it, ns it 1s firmly believed I bat a curse rests upon It. KA V KS-IUMM'I'INtJ A MINIS. TI'.K.

"You oiightcnlcr talk about him that way," said the old lady, 'fur he's doniu' the host he kin. I din't like it though the way he dove into the butter. Now, he oughter know how source butter is.
