Mr.

Joseph Latrd wan an old revolution ary soldier who lived in Muddy ttronk. about two miles oaBtof this npot. He was farmer, and one night about the year 1825 ho bad to go on horseback to Harrington after a doctor for hid wife, who had been taken ill In the night It won Just after midnight in tho fall of the year, and ns ho came down the hill near the spot he happened to look down beside the road, and there stood a brass candlestick with a lighted candle, apparently half burned, At this time he had never heard of anything out of the usual order eonm-cled with spot. His horse was frightened and would not stand still, although It was one of the most reliable and steady going steeds in the neighborhood. The thought struck him that somebody was searching for something and had left tho can die there IIo reined up the horse, and step' ping one foot out of tho stirrup ho reached down to pick np the light.

As hht hand approached it, It disappeared like a Qa and how bo ever got back on the horse nud gal loped to the village ho could hardly tell. He held his for some days, when he confided his experience to Erastus Turner, his brother-in-law, who was regarded by his neighbors as a man who "did not fear a face of clay." He asked Turner, "Am 1 getting to be out of my headp' when he had conclud cd. Then Turner bad an experience to relate concerning that very spot. A few months before that ho had occasion as a school trustee to go down toward Great Barrington village to engage a young lady to teach their district school. He was also on horseback, and was riding on a walk by that very spot.

It was about 9 o'clock at night. Ho was paying no attention to hit surroundings, when all nt onco be paw tvhitc object about tho size aud shape of feather pillow rUo apparently from ground on ono side and pass directly over head about ten feet above, and land on tho other side of the rood, where it disappeared. He involuntarily stopped to see it, and said it was in sight about thirty seconds. There was not a breath of air stirring, and the night was cloudy and dark. Borne time afterward Mix Turner, a son of the man who had seen the white object go over his head, was driviug along one night rather late on his way homo from the village.

He bad never heard of anything out of the way with the place. When bo reached the spot he heard footstejw behind him. Ho turned arouud aud saw a man on horseback. Be spoke and said: "Til turn out and let you go by a piece ahead." The rider made no reply, but, with a large black horse, drew the rein to one fide, and in a narrow and difficult part of tho road seemed to go by with ease. As be came up oven with Turner, tho latter saw that the man had no bead.

The night was quite light, so that objects could be plainly distinguished. Turner, in his surprise, ejaculated, "Great God Almighty! who and what oro youf" Aa he tercd those words the horse and headless rider disappeared into thin air. Justus Adams aud Mark Seeley were young men who worked in a woolen factory at Van Deusenvillo, about two miles north of Great Barriugton. One night in tho autumn of 1827 they took a pair of horses and a wagon to carry home some young women who worked In the factory, but whoso jmrents lived about a mile aud a half beyond this spot. On their return it was about dusk, and as they reached the place they saw a pack ped' dler walking just ahead of them, and ho fairly staggered under his hugo and apparently uuwieldy burden.

Said Adams to Seeley "Wo will give that old critter a ride," to which the other agreed. They drove up and stopptxl, and Adtiuis said: "Jump in, old man, ond we will give you boost" He came toward them, when they saw that thojK had no head. Thou hedisapijeured, and the horses, very siuady started and ran for about a aniens hurd us they could go, und the drivi'i'and his companion were unable, of their fright and excil mciit, to check their in the slightest degree. Tho horses finally slopped of their own accord. It was noticed that these, young men, who wero jolly and jovial, wero after thut as sober and serious as judges.

It was many months before they would go down tho Three Mile Hill road. About the year 1842 the inhabitants of the vicinity were working on tho road, aud the roadiitabter concluded that the road ought to cr mi no a uuavv plow, urawn uy two yoke or oreii, uv tailed to plow a deep ditch on each bide of the road. Ouo of the men had to bear heavily on the plow bourn to make a deep enough furrow. Finally some queer looking bones wero turned up and thrown to one sida Everybody was amazed and could not conceive whut they wero doing there, Atjhis juncture a physician from Great Barrington came by on his sulky. Ho was stopped, and one of the men handed up some of the bones for inspection.

"Where did you get theseI" asked the doctor. The man pointed out the spot. "These ore human bout's," the physician said. Ho took charge of them, and that was all that wiw over done about the matter. Dfttnu Humor had its one of lutr choicest topics about ibis time and soon after thut a certain old and tolerably wealthy man, liv lug between the Great Harrington, would novel' go to sleep unless he had a lighted candle in Inn room, and that us novel- could to go up thut road on or pleasure, Ono of lie men previously inentioui 'd, had wen the queer tflguts, said IhuL it wub the belief of muny Unit ho ne-'er could die in peace without muling that would seuwi- tiouni in extreme.

In ttcrka county, nt the little vll lage of Bhillington, lives Samuel Shil ling, a living fulfilment of a remark able coincidence.

He first saw tho ligh r.f on Fob. r.U9. Beginning with the date of his birth, it seems that the fjtiter of Ms country has kept a watch ful eye on Samuel Shilling every day for the past seventy years. Shilling was married on Feb. 22 to woinnn, who, like himself, was born on that date.

Their first bom un Washington's birthday, exactly on? year to day after their marriage, and two years afterwards, on tho Bame date, boy and added to the Washington-blessed household. Five years rolled around, when, on the fifth anniversary of their wedding, an other infant, a little girl, was added to their blessings. The fifth and sixth child another pair of twins, canio around on schedule time two years later, exactly and upon tho seventh anniversary of the wedded life begun on tho natal day of our first president. Mr. Shilling is very proud ofthe lucky coincidence that has cotmectel his namt and that of his faintly so inseparably with that of tho immortal George Wash ington.

Many remarkable stories, all true, at far as the writer has been able to ascertain, have been related, but it is doubtful if there another case, on record where a father, his wife and six claim one birthday, and that, too, oneol the most historical in tho whole Louis Republic. Lord Joliii KtiMelt. If he had not much pretension to exact knowledge, his reading was wider than that of most of his contemporaries, and he had not merely a large acquaintance with authors of many nations, ho had thought on what he read. His mind, too, had been enlarged by intercourse with superior men and hy tho opportunities of foreign travel. Few men of his age, standing on tho threshold of a career, had Been so much that waa worth seeing, tlo had knowledge of every division of the United Kingdom.

In London he had breakfast with Mr. Fox, he was a frequent guest at Lord Holland's dinner table, he was acquainted with all the prominent leaders of the Whig party, he had become a member of Grillion's club. In Dublin (where hit father had been lord lieutenant) he had seen all the best society; in Edinburgh (where he was pupil of Professor Playfair) ho had mixed with all that is beat in letters. Abroad his opportunities had been even greater. He had read his Camoens in Portugal, his Tassc Italy; lie had journeyed through the length of Spain; he had ridden with the duke of Wellington along the lines of Torres Vedras; lie had watched a French advance in force in the neighborhood BurgOB.

The hitter la known an tho "Canadian Nightingale," nnd the appellation is well de served. 8ho tells the story of her life berselt as follows: "My father was a an excellent from the very first ho carefully trained me.

At Milan my maestro was LombardL Ho is GO, believe, but with an assistant ho still receives pupils and to them valuable Infoi-tna- tion. I made my London debut ntCoveut Garden when I was 18 In 'La Sonnnmbula, That was in 1S7H. I had previously appeared in tho same opera tn Hlclly and in Paris. Somuanibula' contains, 1 think, the most perfect music of any opera, and this, as well as tho fact that It contains a good part for young girl, explains, why it is gen erally chosen by debutantes. "The two incidents most vividly impressed upon my mind may bo said to be almost hiB- torlc.

One occurred in 1S70, during tho celebration of America's centenary. I sang 1 a at Home' before an Immense audience in Chicago, and tho enthusiasm of the people I flmll never forget. But 1 was most overwhelmed with emotion wheu I had to sing 'Home, Sweet at the opening of tho Colonial exhibition, in ISSfl. There wero 12,000 people in the hall, representing all parts of tho British empire, while at one end, on the dais, quietly sat the woman who was queen of them all. For a moment the scene dazed me, anil I was overcomo with emotion, But singers have a great power of will, thialc, nnd as eoon as I began to sing I lost all consciousness of the magnificent surround ings."

Albani has a house at Braemar, an when she is there she is frequently invited to dine with the queen at Balmoral, "and sometimes," said the singer modestly, "her majesty takes tea In our cottage. She likes the old Italian music best. You see she hears so little that is new. Her majesty is also very fond of Scotch songs, such as 'Robin Sometimes Princess Beatrice, who is an excellent pianist, accompanies mo, and see, here is a photograph she gavo mo with an autograph." When naked how she explained tho large number of American lady singers constantly in England, she said: I don't think tho American air is iK'tto adapted to tho cultivation of the voico than that of England. But in America, nllhougl.

England has bij; musical colleges, tho youngr- singer has far greater choiiccs. If in any town a girl is thought to have talent, tho means aro at once found by public subscription or by a few rich citizens to enabio her to obtain a training in Paris or Italy. Of course a good many are sent to Europe whose voicescau never bo trained to do great things, but it is thought that out of a number there must bo a few prizes, and patriotic prido is the great incentive." LEW DOCKSTAOSH, Among lovers of burnt cork fun tho name of Lew Dockstader at once calls up visions of all that Is best in that lino. Ho is considered to be a minstrel of minstrels, and moro than that, a jolly good fellow and an honorable man. When, not long ago, the announcement was made that he was financially involved, and that his embarrassments had necessitated tho closing of his New York theatre, expressions of sympathy were more frequent than words of condemnation, oven among members of his company whoso salaries were in arrears.

Tho day after tho an twuncoment of his trouble was made he put a ttop to the stories that he had ignomiui ously fled, by telegraphing from Philadelphia that he way in that city and was ncgo- iating loan, which would enable him give HI each 'one of his creditors a little. He said that ho hud had just money enough to get. from York to Philadelphia, but said, "Tell tho boys that they woirt lose anything." Ue added that his wife was completely prostrated by tho shock of his failure, When the message was received, "the boys" of content.

Those who have seen hlui on the btuge would hardly recognize him on the street, lie has reddibh hair, a mustuohe, aud a boywh but somewhat florid face.

He says that ho uevw went before uu audience in life without having felt, for au UiUaut, slight attack of stage fright. This always vanished, he says, if he found that there were oue or two good laughers iu the audience. Mirth is infectious, and four or five hearty "ha haV at a start will put au uudiuucti in good humor for au entire eveulug.

On Juno 18, 1880, he struck out eighteen men of the St. Paul club, twelvo being in succession. His Quo work In the box for Duluth led to his engagement, by the Chicago club, with which he played during tho seasons of 18S7 On Sept. 21), 1SS7, ho retired the PitUburg team with only ono safe hit. Baldwin was one of the party making a trip to Australia and Europe during the winter ot Ou his return ho was released by Anson and was immediately snapped up by Manager Buckenberger for the Columbus team as a prise.
