Rendezvous is Being Removed.

The spooks which formerly communicated with Rev. Kier and his followers, will now have to seek a new place of habitation as their rendezvous in the old log house on Quincy street, near Seventh, is being torn down and the logs removed out near the hill, where they will be used for constructing another house. John McDowell, colored, is supervising the razing of the spook headquarters, and apparently is doing the work without fear, but then, he is working during the day, and spooks never appear until after the shades of night have fallen.

It remains to be seen what revenge the ghosts will take on McDowell for his disturbing their place of meeting.
