(Philadelphia Item.] The immediate neighborhood of St. Peter's Church, Third rnd Pine streets, has been in a state of intense excitement for several days, owing to the alleged appearance of a ghost, the crowd of people surrounding tho graveyard being so great at onetime that it was found necessary to seek the assistance of tho police to preserve order. Late one night, while some persons were passing the graveyard, they were startled at seeing a white apparition standing at the head of a new-ly-made grave. They communicated the fact to others, and tho news soon spread in all directions. The next afternoon the crowd became so great that tho assistance of the police was required. People made desperate attempts to get into the graveyard, but were promptly ordered out. About ten o'clock in the evening a shriek from a woman renewed the excitement. She held up her hands

This afternoon, while the family were in another part of tho house, ho came in from his work, went into the sittingroom, where there was a large fire burning in the fire-place, and there took a lit. After some time one of the members of the family camo in and found him lying with his head in the fire, burned to death.

and, though declining to give his name, stated that he had seen the ghost in St. Peter’s graveyard. “I am not joking, sir, he said ‘I would give my name for publication, but that does not affect the matter in the least. I am not superstitious and do not believe in spiritualism, but I saw the ghost as plainly as I see you. You may publish what I say or not, just as you please, but I saw the ghost, and it was a ghost—a resurrection of tho dead. The brilliancy which surrounded the ghost was so great that I could not distinguish any object around me when I looked away, being badly frightened.” A young man giving his name as George Harold was among the crowd at tho cemetery last evening, and informed an Item reporter that as he was coming home from a political meeting on Frid.y evening ho was startled by seeing a white figure arise from among the graves and hover over the tombstones. After the first fight had passed off, he concluded to investigate the matter, and crossed over to the other side of the street, ond as ho placed bio hood on the roiling ; preparatory to climbing over,
