there were no noises. This we repeated several times, and we found that whenever he stood over the one place the rapping was heard, and when he moved away from that one place, there was no rapping in answer." NOTE.--The remainder of Mr. Duesler's statement does not vary from that of my mother and others, and, for want of room, is omitted. It was dated April 12, 1848. STATEMENT OF MISS LUCRETIA PULVER. "I lived in this house all one winter, in the family of Mr. ----. I worked for them a part of the time, and a part of the time I boarded and went to school. I lived there about three months. During the latter part of the time I was there I heard these knockings frequently: in the bedroom, under the foot of the bed. I heard it a number of nights, as I slept in the bedroom nearly all the time that I stayed there. One night I thought I heard a man walking in the buttery. This buttery is near the bedroom, with a stairway between the two. Miss Amelia Losey stayed with me that night. She also heard the noise, and we were both much frightened, and got up and fastened down the windows, and fastened the door. It sounded as if a person walked through the buttery, down cellar, and part way across the cellar bottom, and then the noise ceased. There was no one else in the house at the time except my little brother, who was asleep in the same room with us. This was about twelve o'clock I should think. We did not go to bed until after eleven, but had not been asleep when we heard it striking. Mr. and Mrs. ---- had gone to Loch Berlin, to be gone till the next day. One morning about a week after this Mrs. ---- sent me down cellar to shut the outside door (which fastens on the inside). In going across the cellar I sank knee deep in the centre of the cellar. It appeared to be uneven and very loose. After I got up-stairs Mrs. ---- asked me what I screamed for. When I told her, she laughed at me for being frightened, and said it was only where rats had been at work in the ground. "A day or two after this, Mr. ---- carried a lot of dirt into the cellar, just at night, and was at work there some time. Mrs. ---- told me that he was filling up the rat-holes.
