It is possible that tliere inay be a sensation sprung on the people here of unknown proportions. In fact the sensation is here, but whcther it will develope into anything more tlian a sensation cannot be told at this writiug, for Chief of Pólice Sweet lias not as yet returned Torn his tour of investigation. The story now permeating the ambient atmosphere runs in this way : A cigarmaker named John E. Kramich, who lives on Pontiac St., says that about six weeks ago he was spearing flsh in the niillpond near Geddes, when he caiae across the body of a wornan lying on the bottom in a few feet of water. The body had on a pink dress, and one leg, drawn and cramped, was visible below the skirt. He struck the leg with his spear, but both he and his companion were so thoroughly frightened that they hastened from the spot and determined not to teil about it. It is also asserted that a woman living near the spot asserts that she bas seen the saine thing, but hastened away in fright. The body, they say, lies by a stamp, and is apparently fast to the bottom. The pólice are making a thorough search of the pond. No one has disappeared from here lately, which adds to the mystery. Botli Mr. Kranich and the womau who conflrms the story are of undoubted veracity, aud either they have been the victima of a strange hallucination or else there is some one down there in the pond.
