Pa., a terrible hubbub lias been raided by the appearance of a phantom far mer, who is nightly seen plow ing a lield. The apparation was lirst discovered about three weeks ajo by a farm hand who was reLiriiiiiiX late from court iug a pretty maid. Emerging from a wooded pathway, that (skirted an old forest for miles, this rustic was staitled to hear a sepulehtnl voice commanding a team to halt. lie looked in vain about the place for a mo ment or two, and was about movintr on aain when the same saound fell on his ear. A shiv er crept down his spinal column as he heard the creak inj; of an unseen harness, and this terror was far from being allayed by tiie whinny of a horse almost directly before him. At that moment the new moon stole over a neighboring tree tops, and in its mystv light the rural t swain saw the phantom, farmer. It was clearly outlined against the dark back ground and its two hands held in steady grusp the projecting handles of a plow. Before it marched a pair of spirited hor.-cs, dimly out lined in the ini.-ty light, their heads erect, their eyes Hashed fire as they moved hastily along. The young man waited another moment to reasure himself, and was about to tajo to his heels when plowman, horses ami plow suddenly vanished. Then he. too, lied in wild alarm. At Silas Ihowns corner gro eery on the night - this the ou::g man. Albert Cooper ' y name told the thrill mg the .lory. I .town, like main ot on tigers in the store, sntii- ed incredulously, and advi.ed (oopci to "reform." A discus ftion arose, in which ho! words wore exchanged and se veral bets were made that Cooper was drawing the long bow. i upshot of the matter was that the crowd adjourned to the al- leged siene of the gho.-ts opera- tions to verify or (improve Coop- er's tale. They not long to v.ait. Without the noii-o that had warned Cooper the night before, the dhantom farmer appealed before the .-even men that sat P0W0IR upon the fence, or to be more j head for a moment and thought appropriate almoft fell from it j fully resumed his reading. in terror. 11 is long winte nair anc beard streamed in the laps ing wind.

About his body which could not well be traced theie was a j hofphoreseent glow which dazzled the eyes of the turilied spectators and shown far ahead of the steadily inovii g horsi s. Ilia p'ow he leaned on seemed of skeleton frame, but it tos.-ed oil the toft moitt t-aith as easily as a steam er turns the river naves. On he came, the horses fceming to exhale lire; their lit ads erect and aching, and foe t falls as iirni and clear as the watchers ever heard. At the corner of the iield they turned obediently at a word from their spectral driver, and again passed befors the a frightened spectators who thereupon lied in haste. On the following morning a crowd of rustics determined to go to the field i n 1 see whether any trace of the farmer could be found. As they came in s'ght of the enclosure one of the number exclaimed in astonish ment. "I'll be durned if the thing doesn't plow sure enough!" He was right. One half the field had been gone over, evidently by no novice. The furrows were not quite so broad as those made by an ordi nary plowman, but they were less ragged and more deep and were as straight as the most ex perienced eye could make them. A day or two afterwards the same group went to the lield again, and this time found that the phantom had finished his work. The owner of the field was one of the number and he took a solemn oath that he had net turned a sod in the enclosure.--St Louis Globe Democrat. Thaught He was Dead. He is a rrilroad man occupy ing a responsible position on one of our great lines. A few years ago there was a crash on his road and the train on which he was riding was knocked into smithereens.

Iy and by a physician busthed up, looked at Ids prostrate, motionless form and pallid face and said: '-That poor fellow's a goner, I guess." Then he kneeled dowd. lifted up an eyelid and saw a dull, ex pressionless orb. 'Yes, he's dead fast enough - take him away!" exclaimed the doctor. The supposed corpse sudden ly I egan to move its lips. The I fie !-tart Jed surgeon listened i .ini s wj,.lt ju, jC!mj. j ..y,.,, hlHnkL.d old fool, that's , iny glass eye !"--Lewiston Jour- uai.
