  1. A Mysterious Occurrence.
    There is a man called James McKeown who lives on the Canal at present. He was coming over the canal one morning at one o clock from playing cards. He had a pack of cards in his pocket and while he was walking and whistling at the same time suddenly he head chains rattling behind him. When he looked behind him he could see nothing. In a few minutes after that the pack of cards went on fire in his pocket and after that he never carried any playing cards since it happened.
