Full and Complete Particulars.
On Saturday afternoon It will be remembered
we published a brief paragraph stating that
strange and supernatural manifestations had
taken place at a house at No. t>, Macon and
Brunswick Railroad.
Passengers coming up on the train were
greatly excited about it and represented that
great excitement prevailed in that immediate
neighborhood as indeed as far distant as the
reports had reached. Determined to find out
the exact facts in regard to the matter, wc de
tailed a special reporter to the scene of opera
tions and will now lay before our readers the
FULL PARTICULARS
as detailed to us by him.
Taking the Brunswick train Saturday night,
in company with Mr. Mason and Mr. Camp
bell of Macon, who were also going down for
the same purpose, our reporter Mr. Peter Lin
denstmth, arrived at the point of destination a
little after 4 o’clock, Sunday morning.
NO. 6—OR SURRENCY.
Getting off the train they foand o cue in
the little place as yet up, bht going to the
house of Mr. A. P. Surrency, they were ad
mitted to a vacant room the fire in which
had uearly died out.
We may as well remark here that the town,
or Depot of Surrency consists only of a station
house, one or two places of basinets and thu
residence of the gentleman from which it takes
its name. It is situated in Appling county, 126
miles from Macon and about 60 from Bruns
wick. Mr. Surrency la a gentleman well-to-do
in tho world and is universally regarded as one
of the most honorable citizens of the county,
and it would seem that his house would be the
last one ghosts would select in which to play
mischief.
THE FIRST BRICK.
Mr. Lindenstrutli finding the fire nearly out
■went to the wood pile to get something to make
it up. While returning he heard a heavy thud
upon the floor of another room, as if some
thing heavy had fallen. Thinking some mem
ber of the family had arisen, he paid no more
attention to it. But subsequent events con
vinced him that that was the first brick thrown
by the ghosts or whatever agency is at work on
the premises, as no member of the family had
as yet got up.
WHAT MR. SURRENCT SATS.
Soon after daylight Mr. Surrency came into
the room, and after giving his guests a hearty
welcome, proceeded 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 sticka of
wood flying into the house and falling about the
floor from directions they could tell nothing
about, and without any human agency they
could see or find out. The wood would fall
before being seen, and what made the mystery
still more mysterious, the room into which the
wood was falling had all its doors and windows
closed. This was in the front room.
Soon after dark they stopped falling
and was succeded by brickbats which fell at
short intervals thioughout the night in every
room in the house. Mr. Surrency, his wifa, two
grown daughters, Mr. Roberts a clerk, and a
Baptist minister by the name of Blitch were
present, and witli the exception of the minis
ter who got upon his horse and left, they all
remained awake the whole night. Notwith
standing the windows and doors were tightly
cloaed and n* opening left in any portion of
the house, these brickbats continued to fall,
butalthough sometimes just missing not one
struck any person.
BOTTLES AND GLASS TAKE A HAND.
Soon after the bricks commenced fulling bot
tles, vases, and glassware generally commenc
ed jumping from their usual places, lulling and
breaking. Mr. Surrency seeing the destruc
tion going on directed a negro man to take
four bottles containing kerosene oil out of the
house and place them in the yard. No sooner
had he set them down when one flew hack,
fell in the middle of the room, scattering the
oil in every direction. The whole family saw
this. It seemed to come down from the ceil
ing overhead, and indeed everything else fall
ing did so perpendicularly—tliat is to say came
straight down from above.
These strange antics continued with acarcoly
one minutes’ interruption until daylight Satur
day morning, when they ceased, leaving the
house nearly bankrupt in crockery and glass
ware and a large quantity of brickbats and bil
lets of wood around the floor.
That afternoon, or on Saturday, 19th, they
commenced again pretty much in the same
manner and doing about what had taken place
the night previously. The family, which hau
now been joined by many neighbors, watched
every nook and corner of the house, to detet
and if possible, to unravel the mystery. But
so quickly would pitchers, tumblers, books
and other articles jump from their positiois
and dash to the floor the eye could not follow,
and broken fragments were the first things
seen, except in one instance, and that was a
pan of water and some books; they were 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 moat inexplicable inci
dent of this day was the escape of a lot of ordi
nary clo’hea hooka from a locked bureau draw
er. They also fell ou the floor, tho drawer re
maining tightly closed, as usuul. Nothing else
of special note occurred to-day. All got quiet
at B>j o’clock Saturday night.
THB OMIUTIONS OF SUNDAY.
Ae stated above our apecial reporter arrived
before daybreak and heard the story of Mr.
Surrency ae above related. So soon ae he got
through with It he stepped up to the
OLD FAMILY CLOCK,
and was about relating bow rapidly the hands
had traveled around the dial when the ghosta
were about, on the previous day. All eyes
were turned to It and much to their astonish
rneut the hands commenced running around at
the rate of about five hours a minute. It was
a3O hour weight clock, and after seeing it run
at this rate for a short while, our.reporter who
is a watchmakor by profession employed at the
store of Mr. J. H. Otto on Fourth si reet, deter
mined to at least solve this mystery as it was
directly in his liue. He stopped tlie cloek,
carefully examined the machinery ai .1 found it
not only in perfect order but nothing whatever
unusual inside or out. He could not for the life
of him see tho slightest thing wreng about it.
THE MAGNET THBOHT.
It has been suggested that there may be a
lsrge magnet about or under the. bouse, but
magnets do not attract wooden eubstancee and
besides, while the cloek was running at its
rapid rate Mr. L. had his watch in his pocket,
which kept on in its usual way and was not in
the least affected. He set the clock right,
when it continued to keep correct time up to
the time lie left.
A XED HOT KBICKBAT.
Nothing else unusual occurred until 17niiu
utes before 12 o’clock, when the performances
reopened by a pair of scissors Jumping from the
table to the floor. At that time Mr. Liudcn
struth was sitting in a chair when, with
out the slightest premonition a large brick
bat fell with great force right beside him
breaking in iwo. He immediately picked up a
piece of it nnd handed it to Mason and both
found it hot. Then taking up the other riece
he tried two or three times to break it by
throwing it on the floor, but failed. lie then
laid this second half on the sill of a window in
tho room inlending to bring it home. Resum
ing his seat near the front stoop, he was again
startled by the piece he had placed on the
window falling at his feet and once more break
ing into two pieces. He did not pick it up
again.
At 13 o’clock, a smoothing iron jumped from
the Are place about six feet into the room. It
was replaced and again jumped out. He no
ticed that the iron was also hot but this may
have been heated at the fire.
A SHOWIER OF CORN.
At about this time dinner was announced,
when the family and many guests walked out
to the table. Soon after being seated an ear of
corn, apparently from the ceiling overhead, fell
between Mr. James Campbell, of Macon, and
Mrs. Surrency; striking the floor with great
force it broke in two, scattering the grains all
around the room. Later in the day another
ear of corn fell in another room, striking near
Mrs. Bums, a northern lady, who at the time
had an infant In her arms.
Soon after this whilst Mr. D. M. McGaulloy,
Allen Walls, Robsrt K. Prestall, C. C Eason,
John M. Walls, J. W. Roberts and Daniel
Carter of that neighborhood, and Campbell,
Lindenstruth and Mason, were standing in the
front room, a chamber glass was smashed into
fifty pieces in the centre of the room. They
were at the time intently watching everything
visible in the room, but none saw this until
after the vessel was broken.
THB EXCITEMENT —EXTRA TRAIN.
So rapidly had the news spread, and so great
was the excitement, the Macon and Brunswick
Railroad dispatched an extra train on Sunday.
It arrived at Surrency about three o'clock in
the afternoon, with seventy-five people on
board.
But the ghosts, spirits, or whatever else they
might be called, did not choose to give them
any manifestations, and the train left in about
n hour, taking most of them back. A few re
mained, however, determined to see iuto the
matter. There were at least three or four hun
dred persons on the ground during Sunday, and
up to the time our reporter left fully live hun
dred had visited the place.
OTHER SIGNS AND WONDERS.
While all these things were going on in the
house, the kitchen department was by no
means idle. Butcher knives, pots, skillets and
crockery ware were falling around loosa to the
terror and horror of the cook.
Another mysterious thing occurred on the
first or second day. Littlu piles of sugar to
tally unlike anything of the kind then used by
the family were found upon the floors of the
residence. In one of these a few pins and a
steel pen were found. There were various
other incidents of this totally incomprehensi
ble mystery related to and seen by our report
er, but enough have already been given.
WHAT IS it ’
No one who lias as yet visited the place can
give any rational theory as to the agency which
produces these strange sights. Mr. currency
is a plain, old fashioned Georgia gentleman
and is greatly annoyed and disgusted with the
wliolo proceedings. lie peremptorily refused
any compensation from any one of the two or
three hundred persons who have eaten at his
table. If they are produced by magnets, they
must be of s different kind from any ever
known.
We must leave the question to someone else
for solution.
At the time our Macon parly left people were
coming in from all directions, and we presume
the excitement continued to day unabated.
Cutting Afprat—A couple of young men— we
mean boys—got into a little scrimmage Saturday
night, and one of them not slightly cut. The case
was brought up before a magistrate tills morning.
Personal. —The following named gentle
men hare been drawn aa jurors for the United
States Court at Savannah. W. T. Morgan,
Samuel H. Singleton and F. L. Groce.
Took it Again. —Our old friend Judge
Knott is in luck. He received the premium
for the best bole of long staple upland cotton
at the Atlanta Fair.
He Hkar’n It.—'While waiting for the cars
at Dawson, last night, several negroes were
around the depot anxious for the steam “in
gine” to come along. One of them yelled out,
“Listen 1 I jes heur’n her whoop at Gray’s
Station an’ date’ only five miles from hcah, an’
yon jest know don’t took dat steam hiler long
to step fire miles.”
Mack Brothers— These gentlemen and they
are gentlemen in every sense of the word—have a
few lines to which we call the special attention of
all of our readers who are in the habit of purchas
ing such articles as they keep on sale. We take
great pleasure in recommending this house. We
know it to be all that it claims.
<♦♦
Declined. —W. C. Smith Esq., a colored
Democrat made a speech at Clinton last Satur
day to his people. A Radical negro named Joe
Trippe was to have replied to it, but after
hearing the logical and commonsenae jeech of
Smith, got into his buggy *nd left. Smith was
too much for him, and be is doing the Demo
cracy a vast deal of good if be ia a colored
man. See his appoint mmuts in another col
umn.
In Limbo.—' There appeared before his Honor,
the Mayor, this morning, a suspicious negro,
who gave his name as Henry Lewis. * He has a
little game nhieli gull* the unsuspecting,and it
is something like the following: He has a num
ber of photographs, some of them with a prise
written on the back, and others blank, lie
offers a draw for a half dollar, and if the victim
W lucky enough drew n marked photograph,
he draw* a watch. The negro had In his pos
session a number of silver and bras* watches
which he valued at S3 apiece. It Is said he hus
a partner In the business, nnd one of our most
expert policemen lias an eye on him. It is
strongly suspected that Henry belongs to the
class of gentry who have been fingering the
pockets of visitor* at the State Fair at Atlauta,
and will bo kept In Umbo until he can proTe
himself innocent. The police are on the scent,
and they are not the boys to let game slip
through tlielr hands.
Young Drunkards. — Is thorea more deplo
rable sight Ilian that of a boy—one that has
been brought ‘‘in tho way |lie should go ” as
far ns the exertions and influeneo of a kind
mother father extend—on the streets of a city
drunk 1 Is there any thing that will break a
mothers heart quicker or lessen her steps to the
grave? Youug man, it Is of you we speak. It
is you whom we saw drunk on the streets ut
tering oaths and making use of profane words.
Stop 1 -.top right now and mends your ways or
you will find a home among felons. Think of
father, mother, sisters and brothers whom you
are disgracing. Y outh has its follies, and by
this time you have had yours. Throw aside ths
whiskey bottle, abandon your evil associates
and be a man.

The Great Dry Goods Uouse of 8.
Waxelbaum and Brother.— This mammoth
Dry Goods House is truly one of the greatest
in’ all the Southern country. We doubt if
there arc many which are more extensive on
the North American continent outside of New
York and Philadelphia, and even in those
cities there are not many carrying heavier
stocks or doing a larger trade.
Occupying the centre of Triangular Block—
running through from Second street to Cot
ton Avenue, and from cellar to roof, there arc
five grand divisions to the establishment.
Tile cellars or ground rooms are used for
packing and unpacking goods for all depart
ments and for the storage of Domestics.
The right hand floor above is the chief whole
sale department, and here we find a ship load
of Prints, Domestics, Alpaccas of all colors,
Janes, Blcachings, Shirtings, Stripes, Checks,
Ginghams, Fancy Dress Goods, Red and White
Flannels, Opera Flannels, Tickings, Brown
Coods, Corsets, Linscys, Poplins, and so on,
running through the entire catalogue.
On the left is the general Retail Room, and a
busy scene it always presents, morning, noon
and night. It would be much easier to tell
what is not in there than what is. It contains
among other tilings the largest stock of silks
in Georgia—some of them running ns high as
£ 100 per pattern. Oar ladies can find anything
there from an inch of ribbon to a cashmere
shawl.
The two floors above are set apart fur ready
made clothing, boots, shoes, hats, shawls,
hosiery, gloves, linens, shirts, balmoral skirts,
cloaks, blankets, quills and notions ad infini
tum.
But it is useless to call every article by name,
it would take tip half the space in our paper.
Dealers must go and seefor themselves. A su
perficial glance makes one think there is
enough on hand to supply the whole trade of
Macon for months to come, and yet so great is
the trade of the house, it is necessary to send
off new orders for fresh supplies almost every
day in the week. Scarcely a steamer leaves
New York for Savannah without having con
signments for “S. W. it 8., Macon.”
The Senior requests us to make the positive
statement as a fact that they #ll at New York
price*.
We found the house this morning full of
country merchants and citizens, and every clerk
jnst as busy us he could tie; and no wonder,
for such a stock as that will attract people to it
the dullest day in the week, and at this season
no one wishing to purchase will go by it.
A large capital, industry, the most scrupu
lous honor, and a long scries of years devoted
to the business, lias placed this house in the
front rand of Dry Goods Dealers in Georgia. It
is known far and wide as such and will continue
to be for a long time to come. oct9-8w

TO EVERYBODY
AND HIS CHARMING WIPE!
r IMIAT all-importimt event, the election, having passed away, and the “ times that tried men’s
1 souls” have merged Into the “ piping times of peace"; and Winter has been ushered In
among twitter of birds and music of the leaves os they fall to the ground ; and the Summer hal
ing faded away anil tile weather reduced to something agreeable, I have to announce to my nu
merous and beloved patrons that I have recently returned from an extended trip to New York,
Philadelphia, Poughkeepsie and Wcehasi-an, and other celebrated markets, where I purchased,
and have now in my store, the largest lot of
“GOODIES!”
Ever brought to Macon, consisting In jmrt of Sugar, Cofl'ce, New York Canvassed Hams and
Breakfast Bacon, Lard, Butter, Canned Fruit, Jellies, Pickles, Raisins, Nuts, Apples, Lemons,
Cabbages, Onions, Potatoes, Crackers, Cheese, Spiced Hams, Bologna Sausages, and—well, it
would take me all day to write what 1 have got, and it would fill tills paper so full that Smith
wouldn’t have a local for a week. It is almost unnecessary for me to mention the fact that lam
prepared, as ever, to supply Oysters and Shell fish of all kinds, from a Crab to a Greeleyoystcr.
The finest Kish, fresh and on lee, is kept by me, and sold at living rates.
In view of tile fact that the people of Macon, arid those visiting Macon, are determined to eat.
whether they get anything good or not, I have prepared myself for the emergency, by making
ample arrangements to liave my
DINING TABLES
Supplied with the very best this and other markets can aflord. That popular dish, “Birds on
Toast” being my own Invention, the people can always find the same ut my restaurant. To
g( tlier with my polite corps of waiters, this branch of my business will receive the putronage
of all of my old customers, and, I hope, many new ones. My restaurant is, a Is well known,
supplied with the very best
EATABLES & DRINKABLES
that could be found. Therefore, gentlemen and ladles, having laid before you what I have on
and and wishing you all the best luck and Unit I can suit you in your purchases from me I
must close this letter, if ut any time I can serve you, you liuve but to command me or my
corps of attentive and obliging clerks, and you will be made happy. Thanking you for past
favors, I am tenderly yours,
W. P. CARLOS.
