TS9 And Now He Going to Have Spring Opened Without Further Delay And the Mother of the Irish Leader Again Absolutely Without Income nerf related quite a peculiar incident that occurred to hiin a f6w days since Shortly after the scene viewed by Mr HlaJoway Mr Rowland started to mill horseback with a sack of corn Upon placing the sack on the back he led him to the fenoe to mount when the sack instantly fell to the ground He replaced it and again started to mount when as before it fell again This was repeated two or three times when Mr Joe Johnson a young man living near by came up Mr Rowland asked him to assist him in getting his sack of corn on the horse as it was so fall he coaid not hold his horse and place it so as it would stay They placed the sack on the back when Mr Johnson was to hold it while Mr Rowland monnted the horse To their great surprise the sack was gently lifted from the back and set by the fence some twenty yards distant from the two gentlemen Very natural to anppose the gentlemen were somewhat alarmed at this but still they had courage enough to go again to attempt to elevate the sack when it was removed as before and something said tonch this sack any This was warning enough for Mr Rawland and the sack still sits by the no one being brave enough to venture there again This invisible object has visited several houses in this neighborhood and no one knows when it will be their guest There is much excitement about it TENNESSEE WHISKIES APPLE AND PEACH BRANDIES Imported Freoth Brandies Gins Bom Champagne and Claret Wines etc NO 152 NORTH MARKET

through the gate some fifty yards from the horses when he was called back to the stable by his son on account of a mule having his head hang under the trough After releasing the mule he started again for the horses when to his surprise they were gone He did not think very strange of this but went to the house and asked his wife what young ladies they were who rode those horses and where they had gone She said she saw two young ladies pass through the yard but did not know who they were and thought very strange of it While Mr Holla-way thought very strange of what he had seen he would not
