On Thursday evening of last week Mr. and Mrs. E. Durham, it is said, heard some very strange noises in and around their dwelling, sounds like a scratching on the wall inside and out, after that an explosion like a cannon under the house and finally the table took to jumping up and down of its own accord. They concluded by that time that they had best vacate the premises. They took their children and made their way to Mr. Durham's father's, where they still remain afraid it seems to go back. ===========================================================================
