One of the most remarkable cases of sudden cure of disease of | ing, was that of rheumatic invalid, wet which is connected an Amusing ghost story. There were s couple of men, in some old settled part of the country, who were in the habit of sosting pap ne robbing church yards of the bu of the dead. There was » public road, leading by @ meeting-house where there was @ grave- Soe Lewes weed * the road a tavern. arly m ight night, while one of the tiieves was engaged in “robbiug &@ grave, the other went off to steal a sheep. The first one, baving accomplished his business, w: the shroud around him, and took his in the meeting-house door, Swaiting the coming of companion. A man on foot, passing along the road towards the tavern, took him to ry host, and, alarmed almost to death, ran as ast as his feet could him, to the tavern, which he reached out of breath. As soon as he could speak, he declared that he had seen a ghabt, robed in white, and sitting im the church door. But nobody would believe him. He then declared that if any of them would with him, he would go back. and they might be convinced. But, incredulous as all were, no one could be found who had the courage to go. At length aman, who wasso afflicted with rocumatism het be could not walk, declared he would go with him if he could only walk or get there. The man then posed to carry bim on his back, took him up, and off they went When they got in sight, sure enough there it was, as he had said. Wishing to eausfy them- selves well, aud to get as near a view of his ghostship as they could in the dim light, they kept veuturing up nearer and nearer. The man with the shround round bim, took them to be his companion with a sheep on his back; and asked, in a low tone of voice Res he fat?” eeting with no reply, he repeated his ques- va rain his mts Aled ir. : “* Is he fat?”’ No reply again, when he exclaimed, in a vehement tone, “Is He war?” This was enough. The man with the other on his back replied: ‘Fat cr lean, you may have him; and dropping the invalid, traveled back to the tavern as fast as his feet could carry him. But he had scareely gotten there, when here came the invalid on foot, too! The sudden fright had cured him of his rheumatism ; and from ‘hat time forward he was a well man! This is said to have been a real oceurrence. And it is not the only case cf such cures of which I have heard.” I once heard of an old woman, who had been bed ridden, I think, for twenty years, and who, upon the house taking fire, made her escape upon her feet, and was never so confined by the disease after- wards.— Phila. Courier. Witt Breap Couzg Dows?—The wheat pressing forward to market begins to embar- rass the western roads, whose freight e ‘ui, will soon be fully employed. "The Vintoeks Central road has found it necefsary to order three hundred more cars. A large amount of wheat has already reached Chicago from the southern section of the road. One station alone, Jouesburg, it is estimated, will give the road this season 300,000 bushels. fF The exodus of agricultural labors from the uorth of Scotland to the Canadas stil! con- tinuer.
