SATUBDAY AUGUST 27, 1870. THE CIRCULATION OP THE DI-PATCH IS LARGKR THAN THE COMBINED CIRCULATION OF ALL THE OTHER-' DAILY NEWSPAPERS OF THE CITY. j A Ghost Story? Sue Mnndy and His Plum torn Bride Kevlsit the Glimpses of the Moon. A recent number of the Louisville Cou* rier- Journal lias the following : Many of onr readers remember the daring exploits of Jerome Clark, alias Sue Middy, the notorious guerrilla and robber during the war, and his subsequent execution in this city by the military authorities. The story of his life and crimes lias been revived in a very singular manner. For some weeks past the people living near Eighteenth and Broadway, the place of his execution, have been startled by strange sighs and sounds. The ghost of Sue Muhdy has been seen flitting across the commons in the vicinity of the fatal tree, at all hours of the night . Sometimes alone, with hie hands pinioned behind him and the fatal cap drawn over his eyes ; again, dangling in the air, with a rope around his neck, struggling as if in the agonies of death. At other times he was accompanied by the girl who bo fondly and truly loved him, all steeped in crime as he was, and to wbom he wrote so affectionately with his manacled hands a few hours before hiH death. Many of the people were skeptical 011 the sulyect, and attempted to solve the mystery. The 6trange couple were seen by hundreds of people, but always, when closely approached, mysteriously disappeared?vanished into thin air. Every attempt to solve the mystery only tended to deepen it, and many of the people of the vicinity finally believed that the objects that they saw were Sue Mundy and his phantom bride. The ghosts got to be a real terror, and the nervous maidens and children were afraid to venture out after dark. The ghosts finally got to be such an annoyance tnat the police were appealed to, and on Sunday night last Lieutenant John Shelly was informed that the ghosts wrere in full view. He went to the spot sure enough, and saw the tall form of a man with a female, all dressed in white, hanging on his arm, walking slowly in the direction of the fatal tree, and finally take a seat. He went up to them rapidly, when the female in white suddenly disappeared, or at least seemed to do so. The Lieutenant hastened on and seized hold of the man, and the ghost story was at an end. The man was real flesh and blood, and the female in white had not disappeared. She had only thrown a long black cloak over her white dress, thus concealing her from view except upon a close inspection. They were a couple of lovers, who, for lack of a better place, had chosen the fatal tree as a trysting-placc, knowing its history. As there* is no law prohibiting courting, the Lieutenant released them and explained the matter to the terrified people. A Heroic "Woman? She Plunges into the Water and Rescues a Man from Drowning ? Other Acts of Self-Denial.? The Boston Herald says : "On Sunday a party from Cbarlestown, consisting of Mr. Thomas McLaughlin, the oarsman, his wife, and Mrs. H. E. Trimble, wife of Captain John Trimble, were spending the afternoon at Hull, when the former procured a small boat and took the ladies out lor a pull round the bay. They hud been out but a short time whon Mr. McLaughlin complained of a bad feeling in the head, and requested the ladies, who were both accustomed to boat-sailing, to take the oars, which they did, sculling the boat for a considerable distance, 31 r. .McLaughlin in the meantime sitting in the stern. In a few moments he swooned and fell backwards into the water, which at that point was some forty fathoms deep. "Mrs. Trimble immediately jumped to his rescue, and as he came to the surface threw him an oar, which lie was unable to notice, as he presented a livid appearance, and was apparently in a drowning condition. Discovering his helpless state, and appreciating the importance of quick work, Mrs. Trimble, who had a slight knowledge of the art of swimming, sprang from the boat into the water, a distance of some six or seven feet, and succeeded in clasping Mr. McLaughlin around the body with her left arm, keeping him and herself at the surface about eight or ten minutes, and until the arrival ot a boat containing two soldiers from Fort "Warren, who took the drowning man into their boat, the heroic lady refusing to be taken in until after he was secured. "Mrs. Trimble is the wife of Captain John Trimble, of the brig Timothy Fields, now 011 a passage from Washington, D. C., to this city, and the above is not the first instance of her coolness and bravery. She has been her husband's companion on his voyages for twenty-one years, and on one occasion last spring, while off .Nassau, N. P., the vessel they were in (the schooner Emily Willard) became disabled, and her husband being confined to his cabin by sickness, she took charge of the vessel, and though the crew mutinied, she kept them in subjection and brought the vessel safely into port. The particulars of this affair were published at the time, and it will be remembered Mrs. Trimble received a medal for her bravery 011 the occasion. In her efforts to save Mr. McLaughlin, Mrs. irimble so strTuned the muscles of her left hand that yesterday it was very badlyfiswollen, and she was otherwise phvsically prostrated."

Switches. ? The Springfield (Mass.) Republican says : "The recent revelations about 'jute the dark, fibrous bark, wherewith women endeavor cheaply, to counterfeit the luxuriant heads of hair denied them by nature? have been regarded, no doubt, as merely sensational, or perhaps the product of some misogynic imaginanation. But the doubters have no chance. The disgusting little borers that fill the fibres of the jute plant, whether used in massive chignons or long bunches, are causing a lively and by no means pleasing excitement in various quarters. Finding their way to the heads of their harborers, they burrow there until the scalp is raw, and in some cases affect the whole nervous system and craze the brain. In this city several women lie in danger of death from this loathsome insect ; one of these dwells on the 1J ill, another on D wight street, and the disease in its lesser form is quite frequent. Without any hair-splitting, the moral seems to be that ' honesty is the best policy' in personal adornment as in business, and jute chignons must take their place with the poisonous dyes and lotions of the quacks as among the implements of fashionable suicide." A Rich Hoax.? Somebody in Detroit recently perpetrated a gigantic hoax. All sorts of people were invited to meet the writers at a certain restaurant at certain times of the day. For two full hours the place designated was crowded, pilly boys with canes and dollar diamond breastpins, villains with b|g whiskers and " loud " clothes who ought to be in State prison, courtesans in bionde wigs and lily-white who ought to be? respectable, persons of both sexes who ought to be out of good society, and a lew who tliink they have a claim to remain in it, came to that restaurant during the afternoon to sit and wonder why he or she did not come. After awhile the hoax was discovered, and there was a general stampede, and a liberal use of inelegant expletives. Nilmson. ? This Is the manner in which the Swedish prima donna herself spells her name ? Nillsson. The natural termination in Swedish would be sen, but the lady is supposed to know how to spell her own name. ? To what extremities the confirmed punster is sometimes driven may be seen by the following : Consider the house a structure ; consider the house a shelter ; consider the house ? home : and then, oh I then, consider the flousatonlc I ' *'??

Staude's saloon, on Broad street nearly opposite . the theatre, was entered by burglars through the rear door yesterday morning between 3 and 4 o'clock. The articles stolen were a silver watch, a Derringer pistol, nine boxes of sardines, two boxes of cigars, a bottle ol cordial, and four dollars and a half in currency. No arrests have yet been made. Deserting Seamen.? Two negro sailors, named William Allen and Franl: Osborne, arrested by Detective Rogers on Thursday evening, were brought before the police court yesterday on the chaige of being deserters from the brig Charlotte. The testimony of the captain ot the vessel showed that the prisoners had shipped with him in New York for an eight-months' voyage to Europe via Richmond, and that upon their arrival at this port they had deserted. Captain West produced the hrig's shipping papers in corroboration of this statement. Justice "White decided to commit the deserters until the brig is ready for sea, when they will be turned over to" the captain. Police. Court, Thursday? 'Justice J. J. White presiding. ? Hen ry Carr was charged with being engaged in an affray at the C ity Spring Park on the 18th instant, and assaulting and beating William C. Slater, and Cor being a vagrant. The two last charges were dismissed, and on the first charge he was required to give security for hi* good behavior. Richard Chiles and Jim Holmes (colored), up on the charge of being vagrants and common thieves, were sent to jail in default of $300 security for their good behavior. 31ary Sullivan (white) and Martha Jane Bell (colored), charged with abusing and threatening each other, were sent to jail in default ot security for their good behavior.

Train Behind Time.? The mail train on the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad due here yesterday afternoon was detained for a short time owing to a land-slide o n the track at a point between Covington and Alleghany stations. No damage was sustained by the passengers, and the cars also were uninjured. Colored Men as Juroors. The Petersburg Index states that at the September term of the Hustings Court of that city there will be witnessed " something never before seen in this community or in the State- viz., colored jureis." This is a mistake. Those who have attended the United States Courts in Richmond have seen colored men in the jury box frequently during the past three years, and they have also sat on grand and petit juries of the State courts in several of the southside counties during the last days of General Canby's government. Some of the best and most influential citizens of Richmoud have been on a grand jury of Judge Underwood's court with colored men. Personal.? Hon. Hugh L. Bond, of Maryland, the recently apj?ointed judge of the United States circuit court for this district, was in IMchmond yesterday in consultation with District Attorney Wells. He lett for Baltimore last evening by the Richmond and York River line. Manchester Items.? Accident.? k son of Mr. Samuel Craig on yesterday fell from the Petersburg "bridge. He was taken home, and is now doing as well as could be expected. His escape from death was very remarkable. The Concert.? The concert of the rosebuds was a grand success, the large au- 1 dience being delighted. The concert will be repeated. Sent On.? The case of Johnson and the Commonwealth vs. Jetfkins, involving a number of delicate points, and which "created such a flutter among the negroes of this place, has been sent on to the grand jury. David Epps, who was concerned in the same difficulty, was houorably acquitted. The case embraced crim. con., larceny, assault and battery, harboring, and almost every other known one in the criminal calendar. Election of Fire Warden.? James M. Moody, Esq., has been elected second warden Manchester Fire Department, and Wilber K. Weisiger secretary of the Alerts. These are excellent appointments, both gentlemen being zealous firemen, ana representatives of a class that have contributed much to the prosperity of the Alerts.
