A HAUNTED HOUSE.
Kaitlin? of Chains-Terrified Renters
A Plactty Young Man Alone-Tits
Women im White-A Race at Night
Glimpses of Garters-The Mystery
Cleared l p
There ie in the-- part of this city a
small brick house which for two years past has
borne the dreadful name "Haunted." We
have no knowledge of its being at all historic,
or of a murder or two, or any other crime hav?
ing been committed in it to warrant ghostly
manifestations. Yet there it stands, accredit?
ed with all the mystery which ever attaches
to a house supposed to contain incorporeal in?
habitants. Women and children avoid it in
the daytime, and the men who live in that sec?
tion have learned that, at night, the "nearest
way 'round is the shortest way home."
As a publication of the locality of the house
might be of injury to its owners, we refrain.
During the past two years it bas been frequent?
ly advertised in the "Io Bent" column, and SB
frequently was rented, but the renton did not
remain in possession long. Tbs longest pe?
riod it was held was two weeks, and the short?
est ten hours. The occupants heard rattling
of chains, the shuffling of feet, and saw doors
which had just been locked fly open and shut
to without the least noise. The conventional
groans were missing in this haunted house,
but the clanking of chains, shuffling of feet,
and the door manifestations were sufficient to
so frighten the occupants as to make them
leave without giving even a day's notice. Each
and every occupant bad the same story to tell.
Finally, the owners of the house despaired of |
ever getting an occupant for it, and allowed
it to remain idle. A young man who didn't
believe in ghosts was heard to assert bis dis?
belief, and also his willingness to sleep in the
house, and prov? that there was no such indi?
cations of ghostly occupants as were spoken
of. He was called upon to carry out hie pro"
position.
"Betag stout of muscle, strong ol nerve.
Be did not from his purpose swerve,"
And one night last week he might have been
observed in a room ot the bouse with a bottle
of the ardent and two revolvers, laying in wait
for ghostly intruders. Thus he remained until
about ten o'clock, and seeing nor bearing noth?
ing of spirits, he put himself outside of some
and then went to sleep. Mot long did he slum?
ber. A noise aroused bim. He arose and
walked to the window, and saw two women
clad in white (petticoats is the name the cloth?
ing goes by among the initiated) coming to?
wards tbe house. They bore a ohain, and, as
soon as they got upon the back porch, com?
menced polling the chain back and forth.
Hoping to catch them in the act, our hero
crept down stairs, but, while passing through
the hall, made a noise whicb alarmed tho wo?
men and off they went at a rate most surprising
to oar watcher. He pursued, but did not
overtake them, and, with the exception of
knowing that they wore red garters-their
rapid pace and the wind allowing him oppor?
tunities of observation-he has no clue what?
ever for identification purposes.
Being convinced that the rattling of chains
and shuffling of feet heard by tbc former occu?
pants was occasioned by these or other women,
and that the alleged mysterious opening and
shutting of locked doors was oa?the effeot of |
the imaginations of the timid occupants, tbs
watcher retired to rest, determined tbat on tho
morrow he would, if possible, solve the ques?
tion be was constantiyaskiiig himself, "What
is tbe object of these women in frightening off
the occupants of this boase ?" At an early
hour he arose, left the house, and about ten
o'clock circulated among the women who lived
in the neighborhood-of a class pope 'arly de?
nominated the "low-down people." By judi?
cious questioning he ascertained that there
was in the lot of the haunted boase an excel?
lent well of water. From this well the neigh?
bors had to obtain water or send a long dis?
tance for it, and then get a-poor article at that.
When the house was vacated they had free use
of the well, but wben occupied they were not
permitted to obtain water even for drinking
purposes. To keep the bouse vacant was evi?
dently to their interest, and they took ap tbe
ghost method, which was a "success" until a
man who had common sense enough not to be?
lieve in ghosts agreed to occupy the house and
ascertain for himself whether there were such
visitants. The neighbors thonght he was to
be.au occupant and tried their game anon bim,
with two result above stated.

DEATH or COLONEL Wat. P. SHTKOLEB.-The
mournful intelligence of the death of Colonel
Wm. Pinckney Shingler was received in this city
yesterday. The remains, whicb arrived by
the Norttifistern Bailroad, were taken to
Mount Pleasant for interment. Colonel Shing?
ler's career as a public man, a citizen and a sol?
dier is well-known to most of our readers, and
bis death, while in the prime of manhood, will
be deeply deplored. A native of Charleston
District, he came to thd city as a youth and
filled a position in the office of Mr. Daniel
Horlbeck, then clerk of the court. This he
retained until the election of hia father, Colonel
8. B. Shingler, to the sheriffalty, when he ber
came obisf clerk in that office. After the ex?
piration of his father's term, be himself be?
came a candidate for office, bat was defeated
by Mr. J. D. Yates. He subsequently oc?
cupied tbe position of teller in the Planters'
and Mechanics' Bank. lu '56 or '67 he formed
a copartnership with his brother and con?
ducted a brokerage and banking bouse in
Broad-street. He had retired from business,
however, before the wax sod engaged in plant- j
mg in Berkeley District, near Goose Creek, and j
was elected senator in the State Legislature
iron that section. Upon the first mutterings
of war, he was elected s member of the Seces?
sion Convention. Being thoroughly imbned
with the dominant spirit of tba State, he took
an active part in the war, and rose to the posi?
tion of lieuteuant-cc-'onel of the Holcombe
Legion. While in command of s portion of J
the South Carolina cavalry, lu the Virginia
army, he made some brilliant sorties (bat
struck terror into the enemy. After tho war
Colonel Shingler resumed his planling opera?
tions, ind also served as senator in the first
seesion of the State Legislature. Having con?
tracted a malarious fever, it assumed a viru?
lent type and falling upon the lungs, changed
to consumption, to which he fell a victim, at the
age of 42._
ATTEMPT TO MURCHS IN Ena IFIELD.-In
Edgefield District, on the evening of the 8th
instant, a white man named O'Donnell was re?
turning home, when he was shot in tbe back.
He was found next morning still alive, bat ig?
norant of the perpetrator of the deed. Dr
Pragit, near whose house he was shot, has
taken bim in and is earing for bim. ?
OTT TAXIS.-Attention is directed to aa ad?
vertisement of the City Treasurer, notifying
all taxpayers that the last instalment on real
estate is doe this month, and if not paid the
property will be advertised for sale, not only
in the city papers, bat throughout the State.
Delinquent taxpayers should make s note of |
this fact and govern themselves accordingly.

CHANGE OF SCHEDULE ON THE SOUTH CARO?
LINA RAILROAD.-By a change in the schedule
of the South Carolina Railroad, which goes
int 3 effect to-day, the trains, though leaving
at the same time, arrive one hour earlier. The
night trains leave as before, bu' by the new
arrangement.are enabled to connect with the

days, Wednesdays and Fridays. This is a de?
cided gain-passengers and mails were hereto?

isfaction._
A LETTES FROM MAGISTRATE BUNCH.

treatment of fifty years a;o, mnit be considered a
proof th it human beings are very hard to kill.
The lancet, calomel, cantharidles and drastic pur?
gatives were then tb? order of the day. The phy
elo an plsyed into the hands of the apothecary, and
the unfortunate patient was drenched morning,
noon and night with prostrating medicines. We
ive in a more rational and conscientious era. The
mportauce of supporting Nature in Its conflict
with disease is now understood. Complaints in
themselves weakening are no longer aggravated by
artificial depletion. They are met with TONICS
that rally the vital powers and enable them to de?

PLANTATION BITTERS.
Thia wonderful vegetable restorative is the sheet
anchor of the feeble and debtbtited. As a cordial
for the aged and decrepit! it has no equal among
stomachics. As a remedy for the nervous weakness
to which the tender sex are especially subject, lt is
superseding every other stimulant and nervine.
In all climates, tropical, temperate or frigid, Its acts
as a specific In every species of disorder which un?
dermines the bodily strength and breaks down the
animal spirits. Wherever it ls introduced lt be?
comes a standard article-a medicinal staple. Drug,
gists, although their profit upon lt is small, find it
absolutely necessary to keep a preparation for which
everybody inquires, and for which nebody will
eaccpt a substitute. It is to-day the most popular
medicine in the civilized world. Extensively ss lt
is advertised, Its best alvertisemont is the beneficial
result which uniformly follows its uss. Every bottle
aold Insures the sale of at least haifa dozen more.
Cmise other stimulants it braces and fortifies the
system without exciting undue cerebral acMon.
The cheering effect which it prodnees upon th?
mind is not momentary, but permanent. There il
no subsequent depression. It does not, as is the
case with all other stimuli, beget a ?raving for ex
citants, ?n the other band, it soothes and canns
tbe nerves, combining, strange as the anomaly may
seem, the qualities of a sedative and gentle anodyne
with those of a tonic and Invigorant. The perfect
purity of all its ingredients, their admirable adap?
tation to the purposes they are intended to aub
erve, the judicious proportions in which they are
combined, and the scientific skiB with which they
are blended, rendar this famous article at once the
most] potent and the most harmless of all known
