We promised our readers some time
a „ 0 to “ive them the benefit of the re
sult? ofanother investigation we intend
ed to make into the “ Surreney Mys-
terv,” provided there was anything
more of it. About a week ago we
received a letter from Mr. S., stating
tliat lie was again being plagued by
the same unseen agency that infested
his dwelling house about a mouth ago.
We forthwith took advantage of the
first opportunity to visit again the
* ‘ haunted house.
Upon arriving at the depot, the first
object that struck our vision was the
pleasant countenance of Mr. Surreney
—a gentleman whom we had known
for a number of months—and the first
thought that struck us was why shuld
any power, human, divine, or satanic,
so persistently seek to injure his for
tunes, or disturb the peace of himself

of the Un- A Curiosity of Natural History.
Alluding to the report that in Bon-
avista harbor a gigantic cuttle-fish was
capturi d, measuring thirty feet from
the tip of the horns to the extremity
of the tail, and having a bill the top of
which resembles that of the largest
eagle and the under part that of a par
rot, a correspondent says:
“If the captor of this thirty-feet
cuttle could have procured enough
rum to preserve it (no easy job, certain
ly), it would have been a lortune to
him. Barnum and Agassiz would
have bid against each other furiously
for possession of the creature, and the
managers of the British Museum would
have sent out an agent to compete.
Perhaps the highest bidder of all,
provided he is in pocket just now,
would have been Victor Hugo; as he
could confront the world with this,
and prove that his celebrated devil
fish, in the “ Toilers of the Sea,” is no
fanciful creature, and that “ fact is
stranger than fiction.” That some spec
imens ofthe cuttle-fish have attained
enormous dimensions is well establish
ed. In Oriental tales, they are repre
sented as throwing their arms over a
ship’s hull, and dragging her under

We were told by Mrs. Surreney—
and her statement was corroborated by

daughter, and others of the family, as
well as Mr. J. D. Carter—that on

that time it had never varied with the

We wound it up, set it with our watch,
and it kept perfect time for three
hours. At one o'clock the hour hand
stopped perfectly still while the min
ute nnnd performed its regular revolu
tion of an hour on the dial plate. We
regulated it again and it did not vary
with the time of the watch for several
hours. At half-past seven the hour
hand, instead of refusing to move for
ward, started out at twelve times its
ordinary speed and performed an entire
revolution on the dial plate in one
hour. I* was about five minutes ahead
of the minute hand all the way around.
At this juncture we interfered and
went into an examination of the
machinery of the clock. We are not a
watch maker and consequently our
search was not very satisfactory. There
was nothing out of order that we could
detect. \\'e get it right again, and up
to the lio Ur wo left it kept perfect

Buried by a Bear.—The
ing is from the Omaha 'tribune:
A gentleman who arrived a few
days ago from the iower country, where
grizzly boars help the herders to take
care of the sheep, relates a curious bear
adventure which occurred to an Indian
herdman in his employ. He sent the
man to a distant portion of a large
ranch to look after a herd of sheep.
The Indian at nightfall got under a
shed with a roof of branches, but open
on all sides, and lay down inside his
blankets. After a few hours sleep he
was awakened by feeling the hot breath
of some animal on his face, lie moved
his arms and at once understood the
situation—a huge bear was snufling
him. The man, with great presence of
mind determined to keep perfectly
still, lor he knew if he moved or cried
out, one blow of those huge paws would
break his skull like a walnut. Bruin
scratched off the blankets and seized
Indian by the legs.
Though suffering terribly, the brave
fellow did not allow a groan or cry to
escape him. The bear dragged him
from the hut for some distance, and
then commenced to dig a hole to lay
the Indian and cover him up from the
coyotes. After the grave hand been
dug deep enough, the bear, contending
himself with about a pound of flesh
from the victim’s thigh, moved the
body to the hole and covered it up,
The Indian managed to keep the earth
over his face loose enough to allow him
to breathe, and when the bear retired
he crawled out towards the mustang,
which was picketed some fifty yards
outside the hut. With great difficul
ty I10 mounted, and then rode towards
the ranch house. A doctor was sent
for, and pronounced the wounds,
though severe and painful, not likely
to prove fatal. The next day a hunt
was organized, and the grizzly was
killed, in the neighborhood of the spot
where lie had stowed his intended
meat.
Polite gentleman—Good morning
sir. How do you feel yourself to-day ?
Deaf gentleman—Very stormy and dis

Desperate Fiuiit by Jackson’s
Cavalry with Indians in Oregon
—A Large Number Killed, and
the Battle Undecided.—San Fran
cisco, Dee. 1.—The Commissioner of
Indian Affairs of Oregon ordered Su
perintendent Ordeneal to put the
Indians on the Klamath reservation by
force if necessary. He went in person
but the Modoes refused to go. The
matter of removal was referred to the
military authorities. On the 28th,
Major Jackson, with company B. first
cavalry, thirty-five men, left Fort
Klamath for the camp on the Modoes
near the mouth of Lost river, and sur
rounded the camp and requested an
interview with the chief. The Indians
were told that the soldiers had not
come to fight them, but to put them
on the reservation. The Modoes re
fuses to comply, and were ordered
lay down their arms, During the par
ley an Indian raised his gun and fired
at Lieutenant Boutelle, but missed his
aim. Boutelle returned the tire, and
killed the Indian instantaneously;'
Firing on both sides ensued, and tie
battle lasted two hours. It was a det-

and four wounded. Two citizen.^

Fifteen Modoes were killed, all womei
and children. Many horses were cap
tured. The Indians retreated to the
hills in the afternoon, but returned
and recommenced firing. At last ac
counts the fight was still going on, and
ixty Modoes were engaged. Both
sides were expecting reinforcements.
Four desperado chiefs were killed.
A Dog That is Worth Some
thing.—A. B. Newman, assistant
lightkeejier at Mount Desert, Ale., is
the owner of a fine Newfoundland (log.
On Sunday, Air. Newman’s little boy,
nine years old, strayed away, and was
missing for about'two hours. The
mother went out of doors and called to
him, when the dog, in response, ran
up from the shore with the boy’s wet
cap in iiis mouth, and signified by his
actions that he desired her to follow
him.
'the mother, alarmed, called the
father, who was sleeping in the house,
and they followed the dog as quickly
as possible. Down by the shore, on a
rock, the little boy was lying insensi
ble, his clothes wet, as if he had been
dragged from the water. After long
efforts, in which the dog rendered ail
the assistance lie could in his mute
way, the boy was resussitated, and
afterward told his story. He was on
the beach gathering shells when a large
wave came in and carried him off in
the undertow.
The dog jumped in after him, hut
the wave prevented him from reaching
the boy for some minutes. He seized
him by the leg of tho trowsers and tried
to drag him ashore, but the cloth tore
in his teeth ; and the boy said he had
an indistinct recollection of the dog
coming down below the surface for him
again, and that was the last thing lie
was conscious of. It seems that the
dog had dragged the child upon the
rock out of reach of the waves and had
tried to restore him. When he heard
the mother’s call he took the cap to
inform her, as well as he could, of the
affair, and hasten assistance.

An Old Church.—The Old South
Church, at Boston, which has stood for
one hundred and forty-three years, and
which was saved by the exertions of
the firemen, during the recent exten
sive conflagration, has undergone a
varied experience of vicissitudes of life.
During the occupation of Boston by the
British army, it was used successively
as barracks, as stables, and as a thea
tre, by the English officers. During
the late civil war, it was used as a re
cruiting station, and after the recent
fire it was again occupied as barracks,
by tlie troops engaged in patroling the
streets of the burned district. The
Old .South Church has. however, at
last yielded to the march of improve
ment, and will probably never more be
used for religious purposes. It has
just been leased to the United States,
for a Post Office, and the work of re
constructing the interior for the ac
commodation and distribution of the
mails will soon be commenced.

A Quaker Printer’s Proverbs.
Never seudeth thou an article for
publication without giving the editor
thy name, for thy name often secures
publication to worthless articles.
Thou shouldst not rap at the door
of a printing office, for he that auswer-
eth the rap sneereth in his sleeves and
looseth time.
Never do thou loaf about, ask ques
tions, or knock down type, or the boys
will love you like they do shade-trees—
when you leaveth.
Thou shouhlth never read the copy
on the printers case or the sharp and
hook container thereof, or ho may
nock thee down.
Never inquie thou ofthe editor for

atkhe appointed time to give to thee

It is not right that thou shouldst
a?k him who is the author of an article,
for it is his duty to keep such things
unto himself.
When thou dost enter his office, take
heed unto thyself that thou dost not
look at what may he laying open and
conccrnetli thee not, for that is not

Neither examine thou the proof
sheet, for it is not ready to meet thine

Among the numerous projects the
present state of the jury system in this
country has elicited, there is one that
has been found to work well in Scot
land. There the jury, instead of being
led to bring in a verdict sini]'
of guilty or not guilty, can choose
milder course, and say “ not proven.”
Coincidences.—A woman writing
to the Missouri Republican caUs atten
tion to the fact that the burning of
Chicago and the Michigan fires occur
red on the sixth anniversary of the
burning of the Shenandoah Valley bv
Sheridan with troops mostly composed
of Michigan and Illinois regiments.
The Roston fire began on the 10th of
November. On the 10th of November
General Sherman issued his order to
burn Rome and Atlanta. Boston and
Chicago were the only Northern cities
in which illuminations were gotton up
in honor of the burning of Columbia,
S. C., 'by Shei man. These are strange
coincidences, to say the least.
A bale of human hair has been late
ly abstracted at a railway station of
Hamburg, on route for England. The
bale weighed no less than one hundred
and forty-one pounds, and it came out
that the capillary produce was chiefly
derived from lunatic and other asyl
ums, reformatories, penitentiaries, etc.,
and even some of the prisons of the
highest class, as far as penalty goes.
What a theme for a spirited chat at a

perplexing case, where, though the
moral conviction of the jury was obvi
ously that the criminal was guilty ; yet
the proof was, from some cause or
other, defec:i e. Such a finding elim
inates the criminal from, at least,
the penalty of the crime, but it is a
stain that few persons are hardy
enough to endure where they are
known. It is also a condemnation,
whereas a verdict of not guilty is, at
least in appearance, a full and free
acquittal. At the celebrated trial,
many years ago, of Madeleine Smith
for poisoning her lover, this verdict
was rendered. It was a case involved
in much mystery; but the general
sence of public justice was, in a meas
ure, satisfied by “ not proven,” when
either guilty or not guilty would have
created certain discontent.

She Did Not do it.—In answer
to “ How Did She Do It?” I simply
replv that somebody either “ slept
double,” or was left out in the cold.
The second, either refused the request
of the chambermaid, and remained in
No. 1 with the first, or went to No.
11 to find it occupied by the twelfth.
“ An individual tew be a fine gen
tleman, has either got to he born so
or brought up in it from intimacy.
He kan’t learn it suddenly, any more
than he can talk Injun korreckly by
practising on a tommyhawk.” So
says Josh Billings.
Serious Charge.—Willis Gordon,
a negro, was committed to jail in Har
risburg, Va., on Wednesday last, (says
the Rockingham Register) charged with
committing a raj>e upon the person of
Miss Hannah Bell Dixon, a poor but
respectable white girl, living in the
Chestnut Ridge. The outrage occurred
on Tuesday (election day,) near tire
residence of the young woman, who is
about sixteen years of age. The girl
represents that the outrage was com
mitted under circumstances of great
atrocity. Gordon is a married man,
and has lived in Harrisburg.
Dromaderies.—“ Old o’man, I
reckon as how the menagery has cum.
I seed a ceuple of the camels go by the
gate jes now.”
“ Why, good sake?, John, I reckon
not. The show won’t he here till next
week. Are you shore they was cam
els?”
“ Well, I don’t know. They had
powerful humps on their backs and
went stoopin and slidin along. If they
had beeu on their all fours I would
have sworn they were camels.”
A superintendent of police once
made an entry in his register, from
which the following is an extract:
The prisoner sot upon me, called me
ass, a precious dolt, a scare-crow, rag
amuffin and idiot, all of which I certi-
j fy to be true.”
