Passengers coming up on the train were greatly excited about it, and rep- ri seated that great excitement pre vail d in that immediate neiglilmrliood, h ind of a veritable witch or unseen tievil was present. liut the greatest mastery and most inexplicable incident ot this day was the escape of a lot of ordinary clothes hooks from a locket i bureau drawer. They also fell on the door, the drawer remaining tightly closed, asusual. Nothing else oi special note occur.el to-day. All go! quiet at half-pa t eight o’clock oatur day nignt. THE OPERATION’S SUNDAY. As stated above, nor -pe-ial reportei arrived iH-tbru daybreak and heard in j story ot Mr. tiurreucy, as above reia ■ tel. *So soon as begot through with it lie sltepped up to the OLD FAMILY CLOCK, and was about relating how rapidly tlie hands had traveled around the dial when the ghosts were about, on the previous day. All eyes were turn ed to it, and much to their astonish ment the h inds commenced runniic around at the rat? of about five hours a minute. It was a thirty-hours weigh cloek, and after seeing it run at this rate lor a short while, our reporter, hv profession, J. H.

MORE PARTICULARS. The Macon Enterprise says: Front pis lingers, couddctars and officers of the Macon and Brunswick rtailroad, who arrived in the city last • ght, we learn that the house ot Mr. S irreucy was yesterday the scene of ;i£ iter, if not more excitement, than -ver. Curious people were arriving upon every CRIMINAL ABORTION. The Evangelical Association Creating Sensation in Cincinnati. The Commercial published a sensa tion this morning in the proceedings of the day previous to the Evangelical Ministerial Association, in which the subject of criminal abortion was intro duced and discussed, Rev. Dr, Hat- lield, of St. Paul’s Methodist Episco pal Church, formerly of Chicago, and trait.. t c . one bent upon I somewhat famous for his terrific un living toe my teiy, mid all coming nvay more mystified than when they ■vent. Mr P. P. Surrency, the owner of lie hou-e and his family, are represet- jd to he thoroughly worn out with the strange occurrences and the great crowds flocking to 1 heir formerly peace ful home. They know nothing of the sluugiit on the theatres, called attention to the appalling prevalence of criminal abortion by respectable American women. He affirmed that there was not a block in Cincinnati that did not contain . T ' , women' who murdered THEIR UN* BORN CHILDREN’, and thought it uothing. They come HYDROPHOBIA—IS THERE * CUBE FOR ITl ANY incomprehensible mystery further than j t(1 he said, and to the sacra- \\iiat has til ready been told that their , lnen | s ; t H hands stained' with the FULL PARTICULARS as dett.iled to us by him. Tuk ng the Brunswick train Sat- itr lay night, in company with Mr. Mason and Mr. Campbell, of Macon, who were also going down for the same purpose, our reporter, Mr. Peter Lin den-truth, arrived at tlie poiut of des tination a little after four o’clock Sun day morning. NO. 6, Oil SURRENCY. Getting oil the tram, they loutid no one in the little place as yet up, hut going to the house of Mr. A. 1*. Snr- reney, they were admitted to a vacant room, the lire in which had nearly died out. We may as well remrk here that the town Or depot of Surrency consists only of a station-house, one or two places of business, and the residence of tne gentleman from whom it takes its name. It is situated in Appiingcounty, 12b miles from Macon, and about sixt y Irom Brunswick. Mr. Surrency is a gentleman well-to-do in the world, and is universally regarded as one of the iiio-t honorable citizens of the county, and it would seem tnnt his hou>e would lie the last one ghosts would select in which to ply mis chief. T.»E FIRST BRICK. Mr. Lindenstruth, Gliding the fire uca.-Jy out, went to the wood pile to 1 get Something to make it up. While 1 returning he heard a heavy thud | upon the ll ior of another room, as if 1 something lit ary had (alien. Think-J ing some member of the family had arisen, he paid no more attention to j it. liut subset] unit events convinced nim that was toe first brick thrown by the ghosts, or whatever agency work ott the premises, as no member of the family had as yet got up. WHAT MR. SURRENCY SAYS. Soon after daylight Air. Suriency •■.line into the room, :utd after giving directly in his line. He stopped the cioea, carefully examined the mneitin- ry and found it in perfect order but nothing whatever unusual, inside or out. He could not for the life of him see the slightest thing wrong about it. THE MAGNET THEORY. It ha- been suggested that there may he a large magnet about or under the house, hut magnets ..o not attract wooden substances, and, beside-, while the clock was running at its rapid rate Mr. L. had his watch in lti.- pocket, which kept on its usual way, and was not in tlie least affected, lie set the clock right, when it continued to keep correct time up to the time h left. A RED HOT BRICKBAT. Nothing else unusual occurred until seventeen minutes before twelve o’clock, when tlie performance re-opened by a pair of scissors jumping trout th ■ table to the floor. At that time Mr. Lindens'ruth was sitting in a chair, when, without the slightest premoni tion, a large brickbat fell with gre.u force rig'it beside him, breaking in two. He immediately picked up a piece ot it and handed it to Mason, and both found it hot. Then taking up the other piece he tried two or three times to break it by throwing it on the floor, hut failed. lie then laid this second half on tlie sill of a window in the room intending to bring it home. Resuming his seat near the front sloop, he was again startled by the piece he bad placed on the window falling at his feet, and once more creaking in:; two pieces. He did not pick it up again. At twelve o'clock a smoothing iron y I jumped front the fire place •nbout six ,s nt ' feet into the room. It was replaced and again jumped out. He noticed that the iron was also hot, hut this may have beeen heated at the tire. A SHOWER OF CORN. At about this time dinner was an bis gu >ts a hearty welcome, proeeede.i i nounce d, when the family and many had , jmiijts walked out to the table. Soon to tell from the beginning what taken place up to tiiat time. On Friday evening, a short while before dark, the family were greatly' alarmed by sticks ol wood living iuto the hou-e and M in* a!>out the floor, from directions they could tell nothing about, and without any human agency they could see or find out. The wood would fall before being seen, and "hut made the mystery still more niy-terious, the room into which the woo 1 was falling lmd all its doors and windows closed. This was in the front room. h msehold furniture lias been ruined or is every day being destroyed by an unseen power. A HOG APPEARS ON THE FLOOR. Front conductor II. H. Sharpe, of the Brunswick road, who came up this morning, we learn that on yester day whilst six or eight men aud women were sitting in the front or parlor room, a hog deliberately walked in at the door and without showing the slightest signs of trepidation, advanced to the center of tlie room. Every one remained motionless — conversation cea-ed—nil eyes were turned upon the strange visitor. The hog stood for a blood of the unborn innocents. He called upon the ministers present to look the evil in the lace and confer together as ministers of God, as mem bers of society, and as parents, for the best means to check the evil and save American Society and American life from destruction. He stated that upon inquiry and investigation he found that physicians were importuned every day to produce ahortious by the ladies of the highest standing, aud GAVE AN INSTANCE of a wealthy and influential lady whom Iter physician in vain urged to abandon the purpose, but in reply to all his ar mament then made a short circle iu |g„ incuts an( j persuasions site said, ‘1 the middle of the floor, and after doing so walked into an adjoining room. Every one followed it. Whilst some w rein the room, some were ill the do »r, but all intently watching wh it it would do, it instantly vanished like a vapor or an appa a ion. lei in; its midi -nee stupefied with horror, with no one able i.o tell how it escaped. The windows ■vere down and no means whatever open for escape. AN OLD SAILOR TAKES A STRANGE DRINK. Among the numerous visitors yester day was an old sea captain by the name of Burns, who has been around the world three or four times, and who was determined to unravel the mystery if possible, or at least some ]M>rtion of it. Getting into the house, he was told of the smoothing iron tricks, and selecting that as a particular object to watch, he sat down before it. He watched the iron for .a long time with out seeing it move, and getting dry, he longed for a bottle of whisky which he knew Mr. Surrency hud in an ad joining room. No sooner had- he thought of this than the bottle fell at -iis side; he picked it up aud helped himself, set it down and continued to eye the iron. It did not move, but the bottle left as mysteriously as it ap peared. THE TESTIMONY OF MR. W. C. REMS- II ART. Under date of the 22d, Mr. W. C. llein-haiirt writes front Jesup to the Blaekshear Georgian as follows : Knowing you would like to hear something about the strange doings in tlie house of Mr Surrcncv, I have don’t care ; if you don’t do it I’il do it ntyself, for my husband don’t want any more children, aud neither do I.” Dr. Hatfield cited the Iloman Catholic Church as settiug an example of watchfulness over its people in this re spect, so much so that he, ns a Pro testant minister, stood abashed and silent before the Catholics, he said. And even the German were rais ing more children in tins country than any other people in it; and if some thing was not done to prevent DESTL’RTION OF FOETAL LIFE among the American people, the gov ernment of the country would eventu ally pass into the hands of foreigners. Rev. Granville Moody, of the same Church, and Rev. Henry D. Moore, of the Congregational Church, affected not to believe the statements, but the former finally acknowledged that there was something in them, but it was es sential to be guarded in expression, as there was a reporter present. The thing lias produced a genuine sensation and made the assembled rev erends - look at each other ttr if the bop turn had been knocked out of things. The publication was the town talk to day, and will set theological scientists on a new trail. Account of the Death of Two Adven turous Tourists in the Crater of Vesu vius. The Revista of Naples gives the follow ing account of the loss of two gentlemen in the crater of Vesuvius, who, with great temerity, insisted on being lower- i ed down to the dark cavern iiuinciiiutc- concluded to drop you a few lines to : j y i JC > ow t j 1( , or jtj ce of the crater : “A after being scaiCHl an ear ot coin, up- let you know what I have seen.

Later in the day another ear of corn fell in another room, striking near Mrs. Burns, a Northern lady, who at the time had an infant in her arms. Soon after this, whilst Mr. D. M.

BOTTLES AND GLASS TAKE A HAND. Soon after the bricks commenced falling bottles, vases, and glassware generally commence I jumping from their usual places, falling nml break ing. Mr. Surrency seeing the destruc- ti m going on directed a negro man to Like four bottles containing kerosene oil out of the house anil place them in the yard. No sooner had he seilhem down when one ilew back,fell in the middle of the room, scattering the oil in every direction. The whole family *;'w this. It seemed to come down from the ceiling overhead, and indeed everything else falling did so perpen dicularly—that is to s ir came straight down from above. These strange antics continued with scarcely one minute’ interruption until daylight Saturday morning, when they ceased, leaving the house nearly bank rupt in crockery and glassware and a m ge quantity of brickbats and billets ot Wood around the floor.

But the ghost, spirits, or whatever else they might be called, did not choose to give them any manifestations, and the train left in about an hour, taking most of them back. A few re mained, however, determined to see into the matter. There were at least three or four hundred persons on the ground during Sunday’, and up to the lime our reporter left fully five hun dred had visited the place. OTHER SIGNS AND WONDERS. While all these things were going on in the house, tlie kitchen department was by no means idle. Butcher- knives, pots, skillets aud crockery were falling around loose, to the terror and horror of the cook. Another mysterious thing occurred on the first or second day. Little piles of sugar, totally unlike anything of the kind then used by the family, were found upon the fl »ors of tlie resi dence. In one of these a few pins and a steel pen were found. There were various other incidents of this totally incomprehensible mystery related to and seen by our rcjiorter, but enough have already been given. WIIAT IS IT ? No one who has yet visited the place can give any rational theory as to the agency which produces these strange sights. Mr. Surrency is a plain, old- fashioned Georgia gentleman, and is greatly annoyed aud disgusted with the whole proceedings. He peremp torily refused any compensation from any one of the two or three hundred persons who have eaten at his table. If they are produced by magnets, they must be of a different kind from any ever known. J. \\ . Brothers, Supervisor, and l>. j, ar [y consisted of two American M.

We do not know ot any more terrible aud shock ing form of disease. It is harrow ing to oile’s feelings to merely read a description of the sufferings of its vic tims. b there any cure for it ? A correspondent of the Detroit Tribune describes » case where the man was in convulsions aud harked like a dog, but which seeuts tp have been successfully treated. The Tribune says: “ Du- iug these convulsions the patient would seize tbe pillows from his bed in his teeth, and shake and rend them with .all thtfrsqpmiug ferocity of an .angry AaS&Aitn^'ffllWifbf water alto exhibited, itself. The doctors decided to place the patient upon the same treatment which had been successful iu a former case, which, for the aid it .may he to others who suffer from this disease, wo here give, as follows : The injection under the skin of large doses of morphine and the administration of large doses of castor, which is a power- fill anti-spasmodic. Abcut one grain of sulphate of morphine was injected under the skin once in four hours, and half a drachm of powdered castor, mixed with syrup, given internally. The effect was to produce sleep in about an hour and a half, which lasted about the same time, when the con vulsions returned at intervals of an hour to an hour and a half until 9 o’clock Sunday morning, when tlie last convulsion occurred; after which he suffered severely from obstinate vomi ting until Monday at 10 o’clo k, when that also ceased leaving the patient comparatively easy, hut very much prostrated. Since that time he has gradually im proved, and now is, to a.l appearances, quite well. Iu addition to the aliove treatment snail quantities of chloro form were inhaled at times, and on Sunday morning the patient was wrap- lied in a woolen blanket wrung out of warm solution of muriate of ammonia, eighteen to twenty grains to the ounce. This was the triatment which checked this fearful malady and which the doc tors, for the sake of humanity, are anxious should lie published to the world and thoroughly tested.” A Tennessee Belle in Italy.— The l’rincess Marguerite admires Miss l’olk very much. She often says, playfully, if she were a man she should fall in love with her. On Monday she talked a great deal with our beau tiful American belle. The Prince also entered into the conversation some times, and when he and tlie Princess regretted Miss Polk’s projected visit to America this winter, Priuco Humbert said, playfully, he should issue an or der prohibiting her from leaving the country. As the Princess Marguerite admired Miss Polk's toilette, I must give it among the rest of niv chi fans. The long bounced skirt and overdress were ot white mull, with dark blue velvet sash and bows; a blue velvet jacket, trimmed with broad white point lace, hung over her arm; at her belt was a morocco chatelaine, set with rock turquoises and garnets, with enambled chains for fan, scent bottle, portemon- naic, parosol, etc., each of which was i>riiainented in morocco, as the chate laine. She wore a Spanish hat of blue velvet, with long blue and white ostrich plumes; her splendid chestnut hair, which is all her own, was let down in long, rich loops on her neck. “ How pretty your hair is,” said the Princess Marguerte, with the naivete of a girl. “ I wish I had worn mine so to-day. It is always the most be coming style. But I had it put up high on account of the fashion, aud it is not half so nice.” The Princess Marguerite also has beautiful hair of hor own, and very naturally likes to show its richness and length. A Hungarian Ykagedy.—A spir ited Red Riding Hood, aged twelve, was met by two wire workers while car rying some food to her friends work ing in a field near St. Audrasz, Hun gary. The two gypsies demanded of the girl to let them have the provis ions, hut were stoutly resisted by the girl, when the monsters seized her and tied every limb of her body with wire so tight that the tlesh was cut iuto, and then they passed a wire through both lips of tlie little sufferer and twisted it twice to rending. This horihle mar tyrdom was enacted in a ntaize field, where the fiends consumed the provis ions she had so valorously aud hero ically defended. The owner of the field linp|iened to pass by, and, hear ing a faint moaning, the horrible sight soon opened upon him. Retreating hastily to fetch help, he fortunately met the commissaries and two pau- dours, who were chasing vagrants. The monsters were taken into custody a few hours afterwards. A Smith had to bo called to open the wire net by which the interesting martyr was tor tured, but, sad to say, when tlie wire was extracted from her lips the poor girl breathed her last.

Among these 64 nations, and during the same per- riod, 85,31 ware and 275 revolutions took place, whereby 68,856,700 men were killed. These are some fine ex amples of the beauties of kingcraft.— Exchange. The latest advices from Idaho rep resent a general Indian outbreak im minent. SREENE & RQSS1GNQL, Successors fo Wm. II.
