Fnll and Complete Particular*
Ou Saturday afternoon, it will be
remembered, we published a brief
paragraph stating that strange
and supernatural in an i feat at ions bad ,
taken place at a house at No. 6., M. ;
& B. Kail Ro«d-
Passengers coming up on the train
were greatly excited about it, and
represented that great excitement j
prevailed iu that immediate neighbor
hood, as indeed ns far distant as the
reports had reached. Determined to ;
find out the exact facts in regard to
the matter, we detailed a special re- j
poller to the m fl« of operations, aod
will now lay before our readers the
FULL PARTICULARS
as detailed to us by him.
Taking the Brunswick train Satur
day night, ill company with Mr. Ma-'
son and Mr. Campbell, of Macon, whq
were also going down for the same
purpose, our reporter. Mr. Peter Liu
denstrutb, arrived at the point of des
tination a little after 4 o’clock Sin -
day morning.
no. G —on burrlncy.
Getting off the train they found no
one in the little place as yet up, but
going to the house of Mr. A. 1. Cur
rency, they were admitted to a vacant
room, the fire in which had nearly
died out.
We may as well remark here that
the town, or depot of burreticy, con
sists only of a station house, one or
two places of business, and the resi
dence of the gentleman from whom it
takes its name. It is situated iu Ap
pling count}, 120 miles from Macon
and about GO from Brunswick. Mr.
Surreucy is a gentleman well-to-do iu
the world, and is universally regard
ed as one of the most honorable citi
zens of the county, and it would seem
that his house would be the last one
ghosts would select in which to play
mischief.
thxi first brick.
Mr. Liudenstruth finding the fire
nearly out went to the wood pile to
get something to make it up. While
returning ho heard a heavy thud up
on the floor of another room, as if
something heavy had fallen. flunk
ing Some member of the family had
arisen, he paid no more attention to
it. But subsequent events convinced
him that that was the first brick
thrown by the ghosts or whatever
agency is at work on the premises, us
no member of the family hud as yet
got up.
WHAT MU. SURRENCY SAYS.
Soon after daylight Mr. Surreucy
came into the room, and after giving
his guests a hearty welcome, proceed
ed to tell from the beginning what
had taken place up to that time.
On Friday evening, a short while
before dark, the family were greatly
alarmed by sticks of wood flying into
the huuMi *ud lulling about the floor
from directions they could tell noth
ing about, and without any human
agency they could see or find out.—
Tho wood would fall before being
seen, and what mysteij still
more mysterious, the room iuto which
the wood was filling had all its doors
and windows closed. Tliiß was in the
front room.
Soon after dark they stopped falling
and were succeeded by brickbats,
which fell at short intervals through
out the night iu every room in the
house. Mr. Surreney, his wife, two
grown daughters, Mr. Roberts a clerk,
and a Baptist minister by tho name
of Bliteh were present, and except the
minister who got upon his horse and
left, they all remained awake the
whole night. Notwithstanding the
windows and doors were tightly clos
ed and no opening left in any portion
of tho house, these brickbats contin
ued to fall, but although sometimes
jußt missing, not one struck any per
son.
BOTTLES AND GLASS TAKE A HAND.
Soon ufter the bricks commenced I
falling, bottles, vases, and glassware !
generally commenced jumping from j
their usual places, falling und break-,
ing. Mr. Currency, seeing the des- j
truetion going on, directed a negro i
man to take four bottles containing
kerosene oil out of the house and
place them in the yard. No sooner
had ho set them down than one flew
back, and fell in the middle of the
room, scattering the oil in every di
rection. The whole family saw this.
It seemed to come down from the
ceiling overhead, and indeed every
thing else did so perpendicularly—
that is to say, came down straight
from above.
These strange antics continued with
scarcely one minutes’ interruption un
til daylight Saturday morning, when
they ceased, leaving the house nearly
bankrupt in crockery and glassware,
and a large quantity of brickbats and
billets of wood around the floor.
That afternoon, Saturday, I‘Jth,
they commenced again pretty much in
thesMme manner and doing about
what hnd aken place tho night pre
viously. the family, which had now
been joined by many neighbors, watch
ed every nook and corner of the house
to detect, and if possible, to unravel
the mystery. But so quickly would
pitchers, tumblers, books and other
articles jump from their positions and
dash to the floor the eye could not
follow, and broken fragments were
the first things seen, except in one in
stance, and that was a pan of water
and some books; they were both seen
to start.
Chairs, shoes and clothing, were
tumbled about the house, as if the
hand of a veritable witch or unseen
devil was present. But the greatest
mystery and most inexplicable inci
dent of this day was the escape of a
lot of ordinary clothes’ hooks from a
locked bureau drawer. They also fell
on the floor, the drawer remaining
tightly closed, as usual. Nothing else
of special note ocurred to-day. AH got
quiet at o’clock Saturday night.
THE OPERATIONS OF SUNDAY.
As stated übove, our special report
er arrived before daybreak, and heard
the story of Mr. Surrency as above re
lated. So soon as be got through
with it he stepped up to liie
OLD FAMILY CLOCK
and was about relating how rapidly
the 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 hands commenced running
around at the rate of about five hours
a minute. It was a 30 hour weight
clock, and after seeing it run at thi s
rate for a short while, our reporter,
: who is a watchmaker by profession,
employed at the store of Mr. J. H. Ot
to, on Fourth street, determined to at
| least solve this mystery, as it w>s di
rectly in his hue. H*> stopped the
; clock, carefully examined the machin
ery, and found it not only in perfect
| order, but nothing unusual inside or
out. He could not for the life of him
see the slightest thing wroDg about it.
THE MAGNET THEORY.
It has been suggested that there
may be a large maguet about or un
der the house, hut magnets do not at
tract wooden substances, and besides,
while the clock was running at this
; rapid rate, Mr. L. had his watch iu
i his pocket, which kept on in its usual
! way, aud was not in the least effected,
; He set the clock right, when it contiu
tmued to keep correct time up to the
time he left.
A RED HOT BRICKBAT.
Nothing else unusual occurred un
til 17 minutes before 12 o’clock, wheu
the performances reopened by a pair
of scissors jumping from the table to
the floor. At that time Mr. Linden
struth was sitting iu a chair, when,
without the slightest premonition, a
large brickbat, fell with gieut force
light beside hm, breaking in two.—
He immediately picked up a piece of
it a'ud handed it to Mason, and both
fouiul it hot. Then taking up the
! other |,iec<- lie tried fc.wo or three times
U> break it throwing it on the
j floor, but/..ih and. >Hi! then laid this
secondnlilf ou the sill of a wiudoyv iu
the room, int tiding to bring it home.
Resuming his suit near the front
stoop, he was again startled by the
piece Le bad placed on the window
falling at his leet aud once more
breaking in two pieces. He did not
pick it up again.
At 12 o’clock a emoothii g iron
jumped from the lire place al OU. six
feet mio the room. It was replaced,
and again jumped out. He noticed
that the iron was hot also, but this
may have been heated at tne fire.
A SHOWER OF CORN.
About, this time dinner was announ
ced, when the family and many guests
walked out to the table. Boou after
being seated, an ear of corn, apparent
ly from the ceiling ovei head, lell be
tween Mr. James Campbell, of Macon, :
and Airs. Surreucy; striking the floor i
with great force, it broke in two, scat- ;
tering the grains all around the loom.
Later iu the day another ear of coin :
fell in another room, striking near
Mrs. Burns, a northern lady, who at
the time had an infaut in her arms.
Soon alter this, whilst Mr. D. M. j
McGanlley, Allen Walls, It. R. Pres
tall, C. C. Eason, John M. Walls, J. ;
W. Roberts and Daniel Carter of that
neighborhood, and Campbell, Lindeu
strutb and Mason were standing in a
front room, a chamber glass was
smashed into fifty pieces in the mid
dlo of the room. They were at the
time intently watching everything vis
ible in the n om, but none saw this
until after the vessel was broken.
THE EXCITEMENT —EXTRA TRAIN.
So rapidly had the news spread, so |
great was the excitement, the M. &B.
It. R. dispatched n extia tiaiu on
Sunday. It arrived at Surreucy j
about 3 o'clock iu the afternoon, with
seventy-five people on board.
But the ghosts, spirits, or whatever j
else they might be caliid, did not
choose to give ifieiu any manifests- ;
lions, and the train left in about an i
hour, taking most of them back. A '
few remained, however, determined to j
set into the matter. There were at
least three or four hundred persons
on the ground during Sunday, and j
up to the time our reporter left, fully j
live hundred had visited the place.
OTHER SIGNS AND WONDERS.
While all these things were going
on in the house, the kitchen depart
ment was by no means idle. Butcher
knives, pots, skillets aud crockery ware
were falling round looso 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 floors of the res- i
ideuce. In one of these a few pins j
and a steel pen were found. There j
were various other incidents of this j
totally incomprehensible mystery 1 ela- j
ted to and seen by our reporter, but
enough have already been given.
what 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 gentle
man, and is greatly annoyed and dis- j
gnsted with the whole preeeediugs.— i
He peremptorily refused any compen
sation from any one of the two or
three hundred persons who have eat
en at his table. If they are produced
by magnets, they must be of a differ- !
ent kind from any ever known.
We must leave the question to some j
one else for solution.
At the time our Macon party left,
peo pie were coming iD from all direc
tions, and we presume the excitement
continued to-day unabated.
THE TRIBUNE’S TRIBUTE TO
MR. SEWARD.
The Tribune says of Mr. Seward:
“ To-day, as the news of his death
is telegraphed over the world, it is
no exaggeration to say that in every
court and cabinet on the earth the
tidings will come with something of
a personal shock. To the few who
govern the many in the republics of
Spanish America, the loss of a pow
erful friend and patron will be
mourned. The statesmen of Europe
I will recognize the demise of almost
the only American whom they have
i ever regarded as their peer, and in
the farthest East, in the uttering isles
of the sea, prayers will be offered in
strange tongues to alien gods for the
repose of the aged chieftain whose
white head and broken frame east
such a wonder about his wide jour
neyings in the hamlet and the pala
ces of India and Niphon and Cathay.
After the death of Lincoln, it was
Seward’s faith in human nature, his
confidence that other men were on
the whole as good as he was, which
led him to believe in and support the
policy of Andrew Johnson for the
immediate restoration of the South.
For this he sacrificed his position in
the Republican party, and at the
election of General Grant, without a
compliment or a civility, left that
department of State which he had
administered during eight years with
a wisdom and adroitness, an un
failing courage and an industry
hitherto unprecedented in our an
nals, and which we may long look
in vain to see repeated.”

AN .ARKANSAS LETTER
Dover, October 3, 1872
My Dear Boy : The double-barrel
that yon sent came safely to band, and
! I was only shot at once while I was
■ carrying it home. Bill Slivers popped
at me from behind the fence, as I was
parsing his hoo-e, but I had loaded
j tho two shooter as soon as I got it,
| and he didn’t jump np from behind
that fence but obcc.
I am glad that one of the barrels is
a rifle, as I needed it for long range
| practice. The other I can fill with
buckshot, and can riddle a man nicely
at close quarters. I mean to try both
barrels on those Jetts when I meet
them. You see, old man Jett stole a
mule from us in the war, and when it ;
was over pap laid for him and killed j
him. Then Nigger Tom Jett, as we
called him—the black-faced one—he
laid for pap and plugged him. Then
I picked a fuss with Tom and cut him }
into giblets, and since that time bis
brother Sam has been laying for tne.
I know it is his turn, but I think my
double-barrel will prove 100 much for
him.
If you want to see fun, coma down
for a while and bring a rifle. It don’t
make any difference which side you
belong to, and it isn’t even necessary'
to join the militia. It is easy to get
up a grudge against somebody, and
all yon have to do is to lay for your,
man and knock him over. Behind my j
pig pen is one of the sweetest places
I know of, and it is so handy 1 A
good many people come within range
in the course of a week, and a man
can pass his time right pleasantly.

don’t keep clear of me.
My wife wants to know if you can’t

though, to-day, and will be glad of a
chance to try the double barrel.
A MATTER OF SATISFACTION.
Not a bad story is told at the ex
pense of a most distinguished citizen
of Phil : ; 11*. It seems that a din
party was m p glass during the
recent brilliant display of nothern
lights, and this gentk Ui,,n, stepping
out to cool his burning brow, was
startled by the display about the fros
ty pole. He stood perfectly amazed;
then turning to the window he saw
within the wife of his bosom sitting
with the ladies, waiting for their liege
lords to end their champagne and se
gars. Pushing aside the curtains, he
beckoned Mrs. Agnes to come out.
Sh* complied, wheu Im. auiil ti>
solemnly:
“ W agnes, d’yer see any thing ex

“ Yes, Dolly, I see you have been
drinking to much wine.”
“No! not that, Wagnes. I mean

“Why, where, Dolly?”
“Upper yonder, Wagnes.”
“ Why, dear me! —yes, I do, indeed

“ Yes, dear.”
“ And a flashin’, Wagnes r”
“ Yes, Dolly.”
“ And a sorter spreadin’ and a

“ All that, my dear.”
“Ho ! ho!” laughed the husband,
much relieved. “Do you know, Wag

ANECDOTE OF REV. PETER
CARTWRIGHT.
Many anecdotes could be told of
this eccentric and talented man, but
there is one too good to let pass. He
once had a dispute with a doctor rela
tive to religion. The doctor said he
wanted honest and unequivocal an
swers to a few questions.
“ Did you ever see religion ?”
“ No.”
“ Did yon ever hear religion ?”
“ No.”
“ Did you ever smell religion ?”
“ No.”'
“ Did you ever taste religion ?”
“No.”
“ Did vou ever feel religion ?”
“ Yes.”
“ bow, then,” said the doctor, with
apparent triumph, “ I have proved be
yond a doubt, bv your own respecta
ble witnesses, that religion is not seen,
heard, smelled or tasted, and but one
solitary witness, feeling, has testified
that it is an experimental fact. The
weight of evidence is overwhelming,
and you must give it up.”
Cartwright asked:
“ Did you ever see a pain ?”
“ No.”
“ Did you over hear a pain ?”
“ No.”
“ Did yon ever smell a pain ?”
“ No.”
“ Did you ever taste a pain ?”
« No.”
“ Did you ever feel a pain ?”
“ Certainly, I did, sir.”
The doctor and his family were con
verted.

ODE TO THE IDES OF NO
VEMBER.
I started out oue pleasant morn,
Iu search of game with dogs and horn,
And thinking that my head was level,
111 luck for me—l met the devil!
“ Good morning, six',” said I at once,
“ Good umw-er-ning!” Vas his re
sponse,
Whicii ti'led my dogs with sach a fright
That they ran howling out of sight.
Then, holding out his brawny hand
Acrosx my path, he bade me stand,
Aud I witkjhorrid fear oppressed,
Instant, obeyed his stern behest.
While thus he spoke, “My gentle sir,
Now tell me, did you ever bear
Aught of my noble sou who reigns
O’er fair Columbia’s bilks and plains?”
“ No, never, sir,” was nay reply,
“ I know him not beneath the sky;
Nor, till this moment, did I know
That proud Columbia could show
A son of yours in her domains,
Much less a kiDg who o’er her reigns;
For we are free, aud that because
Our people make their own free laws,
And will not suffer cm to reign,
And bind them with a monarch’s
chain.”
“ Well, I’ll confess,” was his repiv,
“ The truth of this I can’t deny,
My noble sou, I know fail well,
Must soon return with me to hell.”
(Tliotn worclo 1-1 V itartlil
eyes.) HP
“ Pray, sir,” said I, in great surprise;
“ Who is this son of whom you speak,
And why these tears -upon your
cheek ?”
“ Why, sir,” said he, with eyes aslant,
“ His name is General U. S. Grant;
Aud I have, planned, aud taken pains
These many years, aud furnished
chains '
To strengthen him, but appears
(Aud that is why I am in tears)
That all is vain, and I mftst see
Mine enemy, old Horace G.,
Boon take the place of ray dear son,
While ye proclaim, “With Grant,
we’re done!”
Then flame and smoke burst from bis
mouth,
And imprecations on tbe.South
“ That ne’6r again will b«nd,” said he,
“ In suppliance to U. S. (J. —
And we will long, withjgfief, remem
ber
The fall that waits us November.”
Then turning as if in great pain,
With lengthened strides he crossed
the plain;
And I, recovering from my fright,
Bawled after him with all my might:
“ Hold on ! yonr majesty, hold on !
One word with you, before you’re
gone!”
But ah! he would not stop for that,
Because I was a Democrat.
THE A UTUMN SHEAF.
Still I remember early autumn days,
When golden leaves were floating in
the air,
And reddening oaks stoeil somber in
the haze,
Till sunset struck theta with a red
der glare—
And faded, leaving me by wood and
field,
In fragrant dew, aud fragrant vel
vet mould,
To wait among the shades of night
concealed,
And hear that story which but once
is told.
Through many seasons of the falling
leaves
I watched my fading hopes, and
watched their fall; v
Iu memory they are gathered now like
sheaves,
So withered that a toach would
scatter all.
Dead leaves, and dust more dead, to
fall apart,
Leaves bending once in arches over
me,
And dust inclosing once t loving heart,
And I so happy with youth’s mistery.
It cannot be unbound, my autumn
sheaf—
Then let it stand the ruin of the
past;
Returning autumn brings the old be
lief,
Its mystery all its own, aud it will
last.

Doctor J. S. I’emherlon’:
( Dkar Sin—lt gives me pleasure
to furnish you with an account of
: tho remarkable cure which 1 have experienced
\ Horn the use of jour Compound Extract ofi
1 stillingiu. Port-sixteen years 1 have been a
| great sufferer from Scrofula in its most
distressing forms. I have been eon lined to my
room and bed for fifteen years with scrofulous
i ulcerations. Such was my condition—far more J
I painful and distressing than language can
| describe. Most of the time X was unable to
i rise from bed. The most approved remedies
I for such cases had been used, and the most
! eminent physicians consulted, without any
decided boiieiit. Thins prostrated, distressed
j desponding, 1 w as advised by Doctor .’ever, M
I Floyd county, Georgia, to commence the use
j of your Compound Extract of Stillingia.
| Language is insufficient to describe the relief
J 1 obtained from the use of the Stillingia as it
is to convey an adequate idea of the intensity
of my suffering before using your medicine";
sufficient to say, “I am cured of all pain,” of
all disease, with nothing to obstruct the active
pursuit of my profession. More than eight
months have elapsed since this remarkable
cure, without any return Os the disease.
For the above statement I refer to any
gentleman in Bartow county, Georgia, and to
tlie members of the bar of Cherokee Circuit,
who are acquainted with me. I shall ever
remain, sir, w ith the deepest gratitude.
Your obedient servant, J.C. BRANSON.
