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.” Thos.

What ho needs now is a pair of well built brogans and a lit tle time to visit the newspaper offices. It is said that upon the Hudson riv er steamboats they frequently carry passengers whose baggage has Euro pean marks upon it, and the baggage master of the steamer and other boats and places are instructed by snobs who own the baggage to be ‘‘careful and not efface the foreign marks.’’— This is about the most complete affec tation of snobbery which can be im agined. No man can avoid his own compa ny, so he had better make it as good as possible. Most of the shadows that cross our path through life are caused by stand ing in our own light. In Arkansas a man was sentenced to be banged, but all the carpenters in the nughborhoed refused to build the scaffold. As the condemned man was himself a carpenter by trade the sheriff tiied to induce him to put up the gallows, but he steadfastly declared he’d be hanged if he did. The editor of the Macon (Miss.) Beacon, with several other citizens of the place, fell iuto ihe hands of the U. S. Marshal, last week, under charge of violating the enforcement act. The charge originated from the tarring and feathering of one Dunn, a semi vagrant and peripatetic “Christian gentleman,” who quartered himself on the colored citizens, and seemed to have no use for the “white trash” in that portion of the moral vineyard.— All the parties have given bond for their appearance at the United States Court.

That sneaking, ornery cuss, Sam Jett, crept up last night and fired at me through the window, but he didn’t happen to kill anybody except a nigger girl. I mean to go for him, 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 tronery, now ?” “ Yes, Dolly, I see you have been drinking to much wine.” “No! not that, Wagnes. I mean extronery phornoaionusms in asmos pliere.” “Why, where, Dolly?” “Upper yonder, Wagnes.” “ Why, dear me! —yes, I do, indeed —the most brilliant aurora that I ev er saw.” “ Wagnes, are things shootin’?” “ Yes, dear.” “ And a flashin’, Wagnes r” “ Yes, Dolly.” “ And a sorter spreadin’ and a dancin’, eh, Wagnes?” “ All that, my dear.” “Ho ! ho!” laughed the husband, much relieved. “Do you know, Wag ues —I mean Hagnes—whets I came out and saw the c’lestial phernomo nurns a-glowin’ upper yonder, blowed effer I didn’t think I was drunk!” A Kentucky negro who was taken to Indiana to vote Grantism through iu that State, in a burst of confidence and whisky thus related his experience of the triumph: “Dem folks up to Indinoppylis treat ed us niggers mighty well; rode us round iu carriages, an’ next day we woted.

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.

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.)

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.

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. , A ngust 16,1872 lm. Wonderful Inprovement.
