A STARTLING STORY. We print tbc following precisely as wo have received it, suppressing at our friend’s request, the name of the local ity where the manifestations have occurred. The story is, to say the least of it, a startling one, and coming from any but one whom we have long known as a gentleman of unimpeach able veracity, would challenge our credulity: C——County Ga., ) Not. ,J2,1872. 'CoL W. T. Thompson: My Dear Friend : I know that no excase is necessary for trespassing ‘upon your valuable time from an old fnend as I am, but I must ask you to bear patiently with me for indicting this long letter upon you. The events related are so astounding, so marvel ous, that I cannot keep them to myself, and know of no one more competent than yourself to give me any reason able opinion in regard thereto. ’Tis a trite saying, but experience teaches me that there is a deal of truth in it, that “ it never rains but it pours.” Such seems indeed to be the case. Disaster follows disaster; mystery is succeeded by mystery; fortune leads to fortune, and misfortune doubles ere it is done. The burning of a steamer at sea, fol lowed by a Metis disaster on the sound; the fidliug of a bridge at Richmond is followed by the falling of the State house door; the waste places of Chicago . are not rebuilt when Boston is more heavily scourged by the same element ' which made Chicago a city of ashes. And now that the mysterious perform ance which occurred at the Surrency dwelling on the M. & B. R. R. have ceased, come other, and if possible, more startling developments in a quar ter many miles removed from the scene of the former. Before laying before you the events which have fallen under my own observation within the last ten days, it is necessary for you to know that I am still a bachelor, and reside in the same old out-of-the-way place, having built, however, a new house since you last visited me. As you are aware, I am often two weeks without a mail, and do not keep fully up with tho current events of the day. Owing to this, it Saturday, 2d of November, befoie A heard of the Surrency affair. On thatj duy I received ray mail, and'at iri{gtit’was reading the account of it in the Savannah Morning News, as con densed from tho '« —, sitting at the centre table in my sleep ing room, not doubting hut it was got ten vp for the special benefit of jour nalism, as sucli things usually arc, or as I thought they were. I was amus ing myself by fancying how many over credulous fools would be found rushing to No. (>, M. and B. R. R., and returning sold. Being in this frame of mind, you can easily imagiue my immense consternation when the lamp, by the light of which I was reading, suddenly left my elbow, traversed the room, and placed itself ujvin the mantel without any visible aid whatever. JIear fiac7i Man's Censure, but Sfyserve Tour Judgment ” VOL. 1. ATHENS, GtEORGIA, NOVEMBER 32,1873. I pulled it off put on again, agaii and the left was this way, pulling off id then the other, only to find the sleeve opposite the one pulled, back on the arm. I spent some minutes, when in trying again to pull off the right sleeve, I found the coat entirely on me, and all efforts to remove either sleeve useless. It felt as if unseen bauds held it firmly on """ After tiring myself down trying to pull my coat off, and finding it use less, I walked to the fire-place and sat down ujxm a chair, when, in the twinkling of an eye, coat, pants, vest and socks were stripped from me, leav ing my slippers on, and conveyed to the chair which I had placed for them, some twelve feet distant. After a few moments reflection upon these astounding events, I concluded , ■ . , T - —1_ a.7— i .» j •• ^ until luesqay morning, when I came that the only thing I eoald do was go to bed. and await further devdop- ments. I went to my bed, turned down the clothes, and was in the act of getting in, when my clothing was as Suddenly and miraculously transferred upon me, as when taken off. I sat down by the fireplace again, when again I was instantaneously disrobed. After that I sat for a long time wrap- ])ed in wonder at those strange mani festations—determined not to endeavor to go to bed that night, but |to sit all the night, if possible, as 1 was. How long I had sat there before the strange act of the night was performed, I do not know. It could not have been a great while, however, for I remember having heard the clock sound the hour of eleven after having been put in bed. While sitting in a chair at the opposite side of the room from my bed, I dis tinctly felt numberless unseen hands take hold of me, and I was lifted bod ily up and carried over the table to the bed and placed in it, the covering placed over and tucked around me. During the whole time my presence of mind had never left me, and I was as composed as I am now. I waited from east to west at the rate of about twenty revolutions a minute, then stop ped and commenced spinning the other commenced spinning way. Taking advantage of a second stop, Mr. P. and myself had barely time to step out when it again started. We viewed this wonderful perform ance for fully an hour. The house, L, chimney, underpinning, and all would spin rapidly around for three or four minutes, then change and spin as rap idly the other way. There were sev eral trees within a few feet of the walls or sides of the house, but they seemed to offer no opposition whatever, but appeared to go through such portions of the house with which they came in contact without opposition or injury. We did not venture into the house again, but went back to Mr. Pierce’s about day-light, where I remained A TREMENDOUS FISH,’ T . NO. 9. <;• Or a Tremendous Story-Take It or Leare It. In 1783 a whaler assured Dr. Swedi- aur that he had found in the mouth of a whale a tentacle twenty-seven feet in length. The report was inserted in a scientific journal of the day, and there read by Deny Montfort, who at once determined to obtain more ample infor mation on the subject. It so happened that just then the French Government had sent for a number of American whalers, in order to consult with them as to the best means by which the French fisheries could be revived. These men were staying at Dunkirk; and here Montfort questioned them, and upon inquiry it was found -that to this place.'

I was aroused next morning as usual by my cook knocking at the door for admittance. I got up, opened the door and went back to bed. She came in, built a fire in the stove, put on a boiler of water, and, as was her custom, went out to do her milking.^ My house is a four-roomed, single-story building witii an L on the east of the north-half.

My beard being very hard, it is with great difficulty that 1 can shave myself without warm water, so I took my mug and went through the dining-room into the kitchen to get some. There was a hot fire in the stove, and I place since, nor do I intend to go nntu informed by my “ spirit” picture that it will be safe for me to do so. Need I say that I confidently look for Lydia to come and tell me when to return. This, my friend, is the whole story. I have only to add, that from couriers sent me every day I learn that mani festations still continue at my house, though less violent in character. I do not attempt an explanation of these things. I only give the facts, and I submit these facts to you, because you, above all men, know me, and will not doubt my story. You have also seen much of the world; have been strange places and seen strange sights, and I know of no one better able to give me a theory which will account for these strange performances. In regard to publishing them, I have only to say that you can do as seemeth best. If you think they would be of any n terest to the public you can use them, aud have my consent to publish my name in full. I conset to the publish ing of my name because those who see it and know me will not doubt that I believe I saw these things at least. My place of residence and the point from which this is written you would, if you desire to publish, oblige me by sup pressing, as I have no desire to be annoyed by “ reviewers,” or to have my premises overrun by a curiosity hunting public. Should this ever eiid and you desire to know its termination, you have only to make the request. Sincerely your friend, John W. Blackwell. MIT AND HUMOR. Why is a newspaper like an army ?

Not alone, how ever, for with it came the picture of Miss Lydia E. I*., to whom, if you rememlier, I was engaged when she died, a little over twenty-five years -ago. The picture—an old-fashioned sun picture—came from the mantel and placed itself or was placed by some unseen agency, open before me, when it commenced to make signs to me with its right hand, the left one in the picture, however, which 1 perfectly understood. I have since learned that they are the identical signs used for the letters of the alphabet by mutes, ho knowledge of which I previously had, nor have now, but which I then under stood as : readily as I do the English language. And I am confident that the picture in life had no knowledge of them. To one who did not know me I would not make this statement. But to you, who know me so well, I do so without the fear of exciting even an incredulous smile. ’Tis a plain, unvarnished statement. The picture made signs so rapidly that the eye could follow them only with great diffi culty. Yet my eyes did follow them, aud, as before stated, although I had no previous knowledge of their mean' iug, I interpreted them without diffi culty, nor lost their slighest meaning. The substance of the information imparted was that the iady, whose pic ture has been making the signs, or rather her spirit, was my guardian angel, ami had watched over me from e time ot her death. Her task, if such it coul 1 bi called, had not been w.thout its care., for she had to defend me from the influence of certain evil spirits, among them onr old school-boy enemy, Tom B , who were deter- umei, it possible, to accomplish my , U1 ?' ^at time she had reasons .? fY ~** r temporary supremacy, ai i ltu |. tauguec] numerous other evL Ini., 1 ( lcm am l were even then f J "Jfhwg my house.

I went from the kitchen, and after getting some cold water, went through the motion of shaving with my soap, brush and mug perpetually bouncing up and down before me, and books, chips, bricks, brushes, combs, flitting through the room in all conceivable directions. After a while my cook, who had return ed from the cow-lot to get breakfast, came into the room with dilated eyes and an expression of horror on her face. Her tale was that although she had a good fire in the stove nothing would cook. She could not bake, fry or broil, and to use her words, “the water had all gone to ice over a blazing fire.” I treated the matter as lightly as possible, and told Aunt Peggy to take the breakfast to her own house, about thirty yards off, and prepare it. She did so, and in due time I was asked into the dining-room to break fast. I never want such a meal again. Nails, pin9, pebbles, sand, gravel and every conceivable thing of the kind "fell into my plate, as soon as I had put food on it; and among other things there fell into my plate a plain gold ring, with the initials “ToL. E. P. from J. W. B., 1840,” which I imme diately recognized as the engagement ring I had given the original of the picture, and which had been lost for twenty-five years, or since the lady's death, she having died in October, 1847. Ben. Johnson saw one in the mouth of a whale, from which it hung to the length of thirty-five feet; and Reyn olds another, floating on the surface of the sea, forty-five feet long, and of reddish brown color. But of all re ports which he heard, the following was the most minute, and yet also the most extraordinary: Captain John Magnus Deus, a Dan ish sailer of high character and estab lished uprightness, deposed that, after having made several voyages to China in the service of the Gottenberg com pany, he had once found himself be calmed in the fifteenth degree of south latitude, at some distance from the coast of Africa, abreast of St. Helena and Cape Nigra. Taking advantage of his forced inactivity, he had determ ined to have his ship cleaned and scrub bed thoroughly, and for that purpose a few plants were suspended on the side of the vessel, on which the sailors could stand while scrubbing and caulk ing the ship. They were busy with their work, when suddenly an anchor roll—so the Danes call the animal—rose from the sea, threw one of its arms around two of the men, tore them with a jerk from the scaffolding, and sank out of sight in a moment. Another feeler appear ed, however, and tried to grasp a sailor who was in the act of ascending the mast. Fortunately, the man could hold on to the rigging, and as the long feeler became entangled in the ropes he was enabled to escape, though not with out utterly most fearful cries. These brought the whole crew to his assistance. They quickly snatched up harpoons, cutlasses, and whatever they could lay their hands on, and threw them at the body of the animal, while others set to work cutting the gigantic feeler to pieces and carrying the poor man to his berth, who had swooned from T 4«*tmTpodhs tn reunion and enr” IC.—It appears there society organized in The society had its annual !W days ago, heard reports, 1 more members.

Nothing unusual occurrec about nine o’clock, when, as my friend and I were sitting by the table reading, our books were violently snatched from bauds and thrown with great my honor ! may you live long, and may I have the making of your fires here after!” A lady, who asserts that her opin ion is based upon a close observance, says that men, as a rule, regard their wives as angels for just two months, namely—a month before marrying her, and a month after burying her. A good many reasons have been given why a ship is, by common con sent, designated as of the feminine gender. Another has just turned up. No, it isn’t because she is in stays, nor anything of the kind. It is because so much attention has to be paid to her rigging- “Madame!” saida French priest to a free-thinking lady, in a railway carriage, who persisted in annoying allusions, “ you assert to know the Bible from cover to cover; I wish, then, to imitate Balaam, who remain ed silent when his traveling companion spoke.” A strong-minded woman in Detroit made the following gentle reply to a politician who had called at her house to get her husband to go to the polls. “ No sir, he can’t go! He’s washing now, and he’s got to iron tomorrow; and if he wasn’t doing anything he couldn’t go. I run this ere house, I do, and if anyone votes it 11 be this same, Mary Jane. men still in its hug^rms, endeavored to sink; but the crew, encouraged by their captain, did their utmost to hold on to the lines to which the harpoons were fastened. Their strength was, however, not sufficient to struggle with the marine giant, anil all they could do was to make fast the lines to the ship, and to wait until the forces of the enemy should be exhausted. Four of the ropes snapped, one after the other, like mere threads, and then the harpoon of the fifth tore out of the body of the monster with such violence that the ship was shaken from end to end. Thus the animal escaped, with its two victims. The whole crew remained overcome with amazement; they had heard of these monsters, but never be lieved in. their existence; and here, before their own eyes, two of their comrades had been torn from their side, and the third, overcome with fright, died the same night in delirium. The feeler which had been separated from the body, remained on board as an evidence that the whole had not been a frightful dream ; it measured at the base as many inches as their ill twenty-five feet long, and at the end provided with a number of suckers, each as large as a ipoon. Its full size must have been iar greater, however, as only port of it had been cut off, the animal never even raising its head above the surface. The captain, who had witnessed the whole scene, aud had himself thrown one of the harpoons, ever afterward consider ed this encounter the most remarkable event of his checkered life, and calmly asserted the existence of the kraken.— “ Odd Fish,” in Dublin University Magazine. Killing Criminals Scientifical ly.—Dr. Paul F. Eve, of Nashville, has written a pamphlet to prove that hanging is not only unpleasant but positively inhuman asa means of death. The doctor contends that it is an ex ceedingly difficult matter to dislocate the human neck, and that this event rarely happens in ordinary hangings, the victim dying gradually of strangu lation. What is worse, the conscious ness of the criminal is not suspended by the fall, anil he suffers terribly during the period—from seventeen to twenty-seven minutes—he is engaged in shuffling off his mortal coil. In deed, the doctor thinks that, with the exception of crucifixion, hanging is the most painful of all deaths. Dr. Eve is doubtless right in many or his deductions. Hanging is a beastly way of killing a criminal, even when artis tically done by a sheriff who uuder- tmitt, his business..anil .never loses big But when the job is bungled, ns it is three times out of five, banging is horrible, inhuman and disgusting. The object being simply to kill the pri soner and get him out of the way, it would seem that scienco ought to pro vide some simpler, quicker and more humane method than that of choking him to death. Dr. Eve suggests as a substitute for the lmlter a modification of the Spanish garotte, fitted with a spring so constructed as to drive a knife into the neck, severing the spinal chord and producing instantaneous death. This would bo a decided improvement on the halter, but a powerful galvanic battery, producing a painless death with the swiftness of a lightning stroke, would be better still.

Got one. It was no use; the next drummer wanted to see the machine, “ and pei- bap3 he’d hitch up a trade.” So the falrmer put up, “ Got the small-pox here.” That worked well for a while; but then came along a drummer frightfully pitted with the small-pox, who smilingly said, “ See’n you ve got it bad around here, they’ve put me on An Item fob Boys.—It is not nec essary that a boy who learns a trade should follow it all his life.

It is predicted that Lake Erie, now the pathway of a mighty commerce, Sill in time dry up and become the home of a teeming’population. Careful surveys have shown that, while Lake Michigan has an average depth of 1,800 feet, Lake Superior of 900 feet, and Lake Ontario of 500 feet, Lake Erie has an average depth of 120 feet, which is said to be constantly decreas ing. The bottom of the lake is quite level, and composed of soft clay. This clay is constantly accumulating from sediment carried down by tributary streams. The south shore is composed of easily disintegrating blue, gray and olive shoals and gray sand stone. The western aud northern coasts arc made up of lime stone of the Heldorbeg group, which quickly yields to the action of the waves. Consequently both shores constantly are contributing to fill up the bed of the lake. The work is uot rapid, but it is said to be as certain as fate.
