HAUNTED BY A JAWBONE.
An O-seou Spook Tliat Made a Household
liwoiiifoitable.
About three miles north of Amity,
in Yamhill county, stands a long, low
dwelling house, which, some thirty
years ago, was reported to be the scene
of some very supernatural disturb
ances. The house was occupied by a
family consisting of a man. his wife,
and a daughter, a young lady 18 years
of age.
This young lady was the victim of
the ghostly visitation referred to. The
first thing the famiby knew a pair
of old slippers was noticed sliding
about the floor, dogging the girl's foot
steps. But these soon disappeared,
and in their place came the lower jaw
bone of a hog, which persistently fol
lowed her. She undertook no work
that was not all undone bv unseen
forces as soon as completed. For in
stance, she would set the table, and
the verv instant she had linished and
before she could turn around, dishes.
tablecloth and all would slide off onto
the floor.
Following the fashion of those davs
the lady wore hoop-kirts. These would
jump on her bed and dance around
during t he night.
Just across the road from the dwell
ing was a spring where the family pro
cured their water. Often when the
girl would go after a bucket of water
every stitch of clothing would drop
from her right in the center of the
road. From a well-built and prepos
sessing young lady she began rapidly
wasting away. Various expedients
were resorted to to get rid of the jaw
bone, but all to no purjiose. The fa
ther at one time nailed it in a soap
box, carried it off piit a distance
from the house and buried it. The
first thing to meet his eyes w hen he
returned home was the bone, which
was as tireless a ever following bi
daughter's footstep. Burning and
other ways of retrinr rid of its tor
menting ,presem-e were tried, but like
Banquo's ghost, "it wouldn't dwn."
As a last resort the family removed to
California. in the hope of ridding them
selves of the ghostly visitor, but the
last that was heard from them the
bone still uursued them.

It was iii the New York Central

Little Lord Fauntleror son approached
