Every evening about tho hour of mid
night, in a large white frame building near
our City Hall, there is a long white robed
figure presents itself before the upper win
dow and after gesticulating in a warning
manner, retires. Immediately after, is
.
heard the most unearthly yelling and groan
ing imaginable. The residents have be
come alarmed and know not what to attri
bute it to. Some say that the; supernatural
visitations are owing to the j death, under
very suspicious circumstances, of a certain
person some few years ago, and the noises
cow spoken of have been heard time and
tmc again, but not of sufficient importance
to be noticed by the general community.
Lately, however, the groans have been
- i
more frequent, and as before stated,
always accompanied by the same spiritual
being. : Others again say and with appa
lent tiuth thatitis the murdered spirit of a
soldier, whose "taking off 'j was by no
means according to the " strict articles of
war." ,
Whatever the cause, or whatever the
means, profound ignorauce at present seems
to be our lot. Since the discovery of the
