In• the structure itself there is nothing remarkable'other than it has stood the storing and breezes of many a 81.11:01110r and winter'e blast : in many places the clapping boards ere loose, •while the rents in the rooe let in both tho sunshine ancl the rain. Removed hom the grouud by four posts he tottering appearance gives one the impression of danger, aa yQU VIONV it from the "'four points of the compass. And the many rents which open out like port holes, invited the cyclones, blastand the suninier winds te play their sad direful moaning as they vibrated along 'the walls and through the vacant *chambers, which send cold chills of fear to creep through ones veins. And there are but few belated travellers or midnight marauders but that give it a wide berth, and none are they who -have had the hardihood to pass it in the dead hours of night unless they tools the emposite side of the street, and only then at a break neck speed. Stratge and 'thrilling stories have been told from •time to time of eights blood curdling, seen by people whose Termite, could not be called into question. Of signal lights " moving from chamber to chamber casting rays of pale blue reflections, eiekly and deathlike; like will -0 -the -wisps or goblins out on a midnight orgey•; unearthly 'telltale would burst forth like the undertones of muffled thunder to silence itself and give way to strains of musical melodies unnatural. Then a clamoring noise like the clinking of cheine, would sally forth as if bedlum itself were let loose, only , to be eucceeded by voices of feline wrath,that, would ereet ones hair to a standing posture. The building was erected some fifteen years ago by Mr. Richard Dr•Obt, who uurposed using it for a cabinet factory ; but owing to impecuniosity did not finish it. -Mr. Mc- Leod then rented the buildingand has since had it -lot of„new carriages and buggies stored in it. Mr.. McLeod was the first gentleman who uoticecl anything strange. On. the evening of January the loth last at 10:20 e'cleck Mr. IsfoLeod was , about retiring to his couch, when he beard strenge antl startling 'sounds issuing from the building. Hifi firSt imprespion was that some thief was stealing his buggies and he at °nee went over to ascertain if such was the Vase. On, arriving at the front of the building', he met Mr. Ione Hodgins, who had also 0013:03 out, and to- gether they entered the buildingand there a marvellous aightneet their view. Three carriages were overturned ,and two were standing straight up on their front wheels; they stood awe strieken and amazed and •their very hair arose on end. They at once hastened to the residence of Mr. John Bawdens out village constable, and there metenetiSiely'llrelliterden, but his deputy, Mr. Thos. Robinson. They at once pro- ceeded back to the building and there forted the buggies all in their place as they had been the day previous. The two bold constables smiled in derision at the story which the frightened men had told them. But their anneement may be better inn agiued thau described when a two wheeled cart began te rah up and down With no visible agency.' They -all at once . retreated eseppt Mr. Thu: Robinson. who, being a man of iron nerve,decided to, remain and see out the mystery. • Strange and un- earthly sounds proceeded from the whip - socket of one of the brigmee. and made even Abe lion-hearted Thomas tremble, and he too retreated., and all went home filled with terror at the strange sights they wit- nessed, resolving at the same time to keep it a secret, to see if it would occur again. The neat night about half past eleven as Mr. Wellington Hodgins rind Mr. John Neil, butchers, were returning termite from Mooresville, remarkable sounds • atraok their ears as they reached the Sauble hill, and when thity arrived in front of the Boyal hotelegroans, screams and hisses and other diabolical noises, were issuing from the haunted house. Their horse became uumaixageable and they were obliged to turn round and drive back to The Royal hotel,. They metered the house and -asked Mr. Hodgins the reason of these strange sounds, and he informed them that belied also head the game soundsthe previous night.

Im- mediately upon their entrance, a great commotion ensued, the windows rattled, •the stairs creaked, the cellar' door opened and shut, the roof raised and at once seek back again, while mournful voices were heard 'crying blood, blood, blood. They were completely terrorized as if from a pestilence. In half , an hour they again rettithed, but everything •wits no quiet as the grave itself and nothing enaocoentable •could be notieed exceptnag a • pale sickly 'bletelr light whioli continued H dance up and down the stairs with great rapidity and a noise as of a elap of thunder again drove them front the scene. They were terribly alarmed ; in fact Mr. Wellington Hodgins was so terribly frightened that his nerves are even yet unstineg, and the leant un- accustomed sound eauses biro to start and turn pale ; and he invariably takes •hie dog Nibbe, wall him for protection when he goes abroad.

Three dances were to be deuced, each contestant being•lirnited to five Minutes for each trial. The dames were a mord dance, Italian polka and a Tennesee hoe dOwn. When the referees had taken their seats, John Casey, time- keeper, called on Albert Carrot, who at once stepped on the ylatform attired in a pair of white kuickerbockers, pink .stoek- ings and wigwams. Owing to the extreme beat of the egening he,discarcled hie shirt and wore a red handkerchief mound his neck., , He was loudly oheered. He at once started the sword dance and surprised everyone by his agility and grace. Joe Thompson gigged for him ana Bobbie • Collins accompanied him on the kettle drum. When time was called he was nearly used' nn, but was quickly revived. with a dose of Willie Taylenes mineral water. Mr. Oasey then called on William Whalen, who at once stepped to the front and was also loudly cheered. William was beautifully attired in an evening suit of black felloloth and although ins did re- markably well the referees deeided in favor of Ur. Carrel. Mr. Casey again called time and Mr, Carrel again appeared but it could be noticed at a glance that he exerted himself too numb in tbe previous dance.

Two bottles were quickly Opened mid dispensed with, • James being it hoopitable entertainer, , retracted bit stepo up-stsite after a loaf of qiise best (treated hread and it'eltunk of Stillon cheese, of which he keeps the best in stook. On his return two more bottles Ware quickly die - nosed of, vehen a panpan orgey ensued for some few Minutes. Jaime appeared to be thoroughly enjoying himself, one of his chums on bis.brain the ale scented to hare an exciting effect, loudly insisted on jamas procuring wine pepper and Hit as he thought the ale was flat. James being an obliging man once mare seconded to the store and after procuring the pepper and salt, again retraced his steps to the bake. bouse. In the meantime the popping of the corke had awakened Billy Bell an' antiquated old gentleman who resides With ja133.68. He imagining what was going an, stealthily Hole down stairs, cautiously opened the bake house Owe and silently sneaked over‘to where the basket lay, collared it and its aonteuts, and glided, like a spectre, back le his room and hastely Jacking the door 'winked his bleary eyes, smacked bis benzine lips, and clapping his hands bu his stonmeh, exelaircied.

Consequently James buome very indignant nnd catching a pieoe of dough lambested one of the Minnie in the eye; the other °hum thinking diectetion the better part of valor, unconditionally fled.
