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 MONSTERS OF THE DEEP. 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 water ; ami some of the older natural ists accepted these stories as true. and quiet family. Surely there was nothing in tliat lace that would excite the malice of the most evil disposed. We were cordially received and con- There arc, however, well-autheutica- ducted to the house where we sat j ted instances of divers in the Indian and listened to the recital by the fam ily of many wonderful things that they asserted lmd transpired there since our last visit. We were told by Mrs. Surreney— and her statement was corroborated by those of her husbaud, brother-in-law, daughter, and others of the family, as well as Mr. J. D. Carter—that on the 12th day of November hist, just after her daughter had put one of the •Seas having been caught in the Ion; lithe arms of this fish, with their cold adhesive powers, and held by the mon ster in its clammy embraces till life was extinct.

Oil another occasion, a few days afterwards, a similar trick was per formed in another room, and a set of candle-moulds that Mrs. Surreney had just a few minutes before put into a tub of water in the kitchen was sitting erect on the bundle of bedding when the room was entered.

The rest of the week—Sunday. How was Jonah punished? Whaled. Forgers to be encouraged—Black smiths. Cincinnati belles devote Friday to eating onions and celery. No wonder time is so often killed when it is struck every hour. A true religious sentiment never deprived man of a single joy. A man recently knocked down an elephant. He was an auctioneer. Editor—A poor wretch who empties his brain to fill his stomach. It is said that corkscrews have sunk more than cork jackets have saved. A young ladies’ conumdrum—Who is our favorite Roman hero ? Marius. Girls like to mary men by the name of William, so they can have a will of their own. Speak nothing but what may benefit others or yourself; avoid trifling con versation. The fences around Mt. Vernon are covered with signs of stomach bitters and coil liver oil. Why is it easy to break into an old man’s house? Because his gait is broken, and his locks are few. When they want to get rid of an un welcome • intruder, in the “ far west” they say: “Fan him with your boots.” To deal frankly, honestly, and firm ly with all men turns out the best in the long run. Hudibras calls matrimony a per verse fever, beginning with heat and ending with frost. Some one speaking of the red nose of an intemperate man, said : “ It was a very expensive painting.” Woman ought to do all she can to make this world a paradise for men, as it was all her fault he lost the other. It is said that iron is a good tonic for debilated young ladies. That may be so, but ironing is a lietter one. It is stated as something incredible that a lawyer was recently baptised in Iowa. “ Every man his own waslicr-wo- mau,” is the way an enterprising ven der of recepts for a washing compound advertises them. Kansas is the most fertile State in the Union. One potato hill recently turned out a half bushel of rattle snake?. . “ Keep ’em alive, boy ! keep ’em nttaciMiient. Each of its eight arms alive!” said an old phvsiciau to his Dead clock, and at about the speed of a I minute baud. It finally broke out. j On another occasion, about a week j afterwards, while Mrs. Currency’s little son was asleep in lied, a smooth ing iron struck him in the- hack indie-1 ting a painful wound. .Several were in the room, but could not tell where the iron came from. It was recogniz ed as one that had been in another room. It must certainly have been an evil genius that so ruflely roused die little slumberer from his peaceful dreamer. It was ?tated, if our memory serves us right, that on the same day a bottle, haded through the air by the same unseen jiower, struck the colored nurse on the head while she had Mrs. Cur rency's baby in her arms. It glanced and struck the wall with great force. The girl was hurt but little. Mr. H. W. Currency, who witnessea it, states that it evidently hit the wall with greater force than it did the girl’s head. These are but few of the many strange and unaccounted for doings about the place as related to us. We now come to what came under our own observation. When we entered the house Mr. C. told us that his clock had lieen crazy ever since these “ strange things” had Lieen going on about his place. Up to that time it had never varied with the schedule time on the M & B. U. R. 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 time. The above we give to our readers as we have heard and seen, ami we leave R Er them to draw their own con clusion. \\ ONDekful Bov.—A boy named Frank Janies, whose parents live in the western part ot the city, has, with the sole aid ot a pocket-knife, produced a wonderful work.

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 agreeable. Polite gentleman (slight ly astonished but determined to recover lost ground)—Indeed! how is your wife*, sir? Deaf gentleman—Very windy and blustering, indeed. A Terre Haute lx>y of tender years has drowned seventeen kittens, tied tinpans to the tails of nine dogs, brush ed his father’s silk hat against the grain, and blown up a pet canary with a (ire-cracker in the last month, and still his mother intends him for the pulpit. In France they arc discussing the ques tion, whether it is right for a man to kill a faithless wife. young brother practitioner, men pay no hills.” Men often criticise girl’s figures ; but when a girl has a few thousands of her own, they generally think the figures about right. Mrs. O’Leary wonders “ if them Besting spalpeous will be after sebwear- ing that it was her poor baste of a cow that burned their city.” The little boy who sung “ I want to lie an Angel,” is said to have acknowl edged to a reporter, that he would rather be Captain of a canal boat. 1 nllated rubber bustles are the latest popular whim of fashion. It takes a young husband with weak lungs half follow- i an hour to blow his wife up to a fash ionable rotundity. Swift at one time proposed to put a tax on female beauty, and to leave every lady rate her own charms. lie said the tax would be cheerfully paid and would be very productive. A grand dog-show is attracting the Philadelphians. Accompanied by a good citizen in the agonies of hydro phobia, such a show would be profit a- ble and instructive. “ Sal,” said one girl to another, “ I’m so glad I hain’t got no beau now,” “ Why so?” asked her compan ion. “ Oh, I can eat just as many onions as I please.” When a man whips his wife in Memphis they call it “ the ghost of a sensation.” It is because the whipper has generally been communing with “ spirits.” \ young lady suggestively remarks : “ If it was not good for Adam to live single when there wasn’t a woman on earth, what shall be said of old bache lors with a world full of pretty girls ?” Tne private who in the late review, was struck by a thought, and the by stander who sat down on the spur of the moment, are both reported to be slowly recovering. Young New York has invented a new way of passing Sunday. Pro gramme : Breakfast at eleven; walk till one; Cafe Brunswick till two; Harlem lane in the afternoon, and Christ Church in the cveuing. An editor, who has been soliciting “ short articles from the subscribers of his paper, lately received a baby’s under-garment, somewhat dilapidated, but short enough, doubtless, to merit all requirements. A young man who went West from Danbury a few months ago, has scut only one letter home. It came Fri day. It said : * “ Send me a wig.” And his tond parents don’t know whether he is scalped or married. The editor cf a Western paper writes: “ My wife and I have sepa rated. As we both wanted to be boss, nud as she was likely to beat me, I left her. She says she will nail me yet, and I believe her.” 1 came for the saw, sir. What saucer ? Why, the saw, sir, that you borrowed. I borrowed no saucer Sure you did, sir; you borrowed a saw, sir. I never saw your saucer. But you did; there’s the saw now, sir. Oh, you want the saw; why didn’t you say so? The Philadelphia North American having stated that “ a big Indian of the Arrapahoe persuasion has em braced Christianity in Washington, the New Orleans Timet remarks that “a mighty small Indian could embrace all the Christianity there is there now.’ 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- perate fight.. One soldier was killed and four wounded. Two citizen.^ Win. Nass and Hurcher, were killed 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. ICEMBER 13,1873.

A gentleman who was engaged in remov ing the remains of some of his deceased relatives, was asked by an acquain tance, who was similarly engaged, to assist him in lifting a coffin from a grave. He did so, and the lid was taken off To the horror of the small body of spectators who gathered around it, they discovered that the body, which was that of an uncle of the gentle man who was removing it, had lieen disturbed in the coffin. It wos terribly contorted, as if the deceased had died in great agony. The face wore an expression of in tense pain and horror, the arms were dravn up as far as the coffin would admit, and the head was twisted round to the shoulders, from which the flesh had apparently been gnawed by the struggling man. Sickened by the horrible sight, the spectators drew back fron the coffin and looked speechlessly into each other’s eyes. Not a word Miscellaneous. LAMAR CO”B, A. S.

Builders 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. was spoken, but there was not a man Loars “ lei present who did not feel that the deceased had been buried alive—prob ably while in a trance—and had awaken ed only to perish in his living tomb.

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 t^e news, fi^r behold it is his business atkhe appointed time to give to thee withont asking. 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 meet in the sight of good breeding. Neither examine thou the proof sheet, for it is not ready to meet thine eye that thou mayest understand. Prefer thine own town paper to any other, and subscribe for it immediately.

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.

Important j\ T otice TO HOTELS, BOAROITlG HOUSES 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.” GREENE &R0SSIGN0L, Successors to Wm.
