' 1 Tlie locality, which la now known ai 1 Franklin Sijuare, wa» tlien the most 1 faahionalite spot In Xow York. Mr. 1 Walton'a mansion wai surrounded by j I spacious grim mis which sloped dawn I to thi'Kast Rlrcr, and afforded a fine , 1 view of t lie fields of Brockellyn, as the : place opposite wai called by the Dutch ' actlfcr*.

The Walton family I bad become, as It was supposed, cx- ' ' tinrc, ami the |wo|icrty had paaaed Into : other hands, when suddenly a member < of thia ancient bouac reappeared In the 1 of a British ara-eaptain. This ' •vent of course made a lennlloa in the 1 eocictr or Xew York, which, sixty I years ago, waa limited to "Wall Street 1 and the lower |«rt of Broadway, and 1 wai easily stirred. Captain I | Guillbnl Walton had nothing, bow- 1 1 ever, to recommend him beyond the proline of his name and form rank " -^mu to the royaPbavyrtau'lii the 1 merchant ser. lee. lie had sailed many yearn, hut, though sea-captains p-nrr- ' ally make money, be brought with him ' 110 reputation of wealth. lie was well 1 called good-lookiog. had it not la-cn 1 . for an rxproasiun peculiarly sinister ' j which Ids counteornee bdre> hen in re- . t |iose, but whichjhosrerrr, passed stray 1 ; as soou is ho began to apredt.

It waa no longer in a fashionable neighborhood, but wae occupied by a weU-toslo family, who were . glad to let a suit of furnished apartments to a gentleman whose name was identified with the houw- Here he exhibited en ordarly Ufc, and thus differed much from other sca-farlug men. who, when aibore, indulge In gaming. It wa. noticed that Is- gradually culth J, ed to an ineflnation of lis- » -t-_ ftrh- ; " when be did » rea'l.iy dmwed that it ; Was from. Ik-ire fbr in. mritem-..'.

Throe ideas, however, were soon ' 1 overset by his introduction to a young e " lady who lived in the upper suburtw I of the city, and was of a respectable c though not aristocratic family. Her ' father bad been a Tory during the Be- f volution, and hod tost a. large Ibrtunc. r lie now occupied a ibw acres near what ii ia now called Sitting Street, and this, » with a small house, was all that Is ton » of his once splendid aetata. I do not v .' know how Captain Walton funned the h | acquaintance uf Anna Rarringtun, hut 1 1 a» sooon as made It sccnud to act u|Kin j »■ his nature with great power. Anna, ft though neither rich norhenutiftil, lad 3 the charm of innocence; and this could ti not but win the admiration of unu who 1 a had gone the world's round and mji. 'l its conventional politeness, so scllisli «' and heartksa. In aildition to this, a Miss Harrington wa» well ulocntrel, e the aristocratic British families of the « city as In ao|uiro a national tone, ft which attracted a true Dritnn Uko f' Captain Walton. The acquaintance, ti therefore, readily ripened into Intimacy f> and, as a natural mult, tlicir strong mutual affinitive led to a matrimonial - A i engagement. Captain Walton became h 1 a constant visitor at Kirtlo Grove, a> r' ' ' Mr. Harrington's residence wras called, ] U and enjoyed that degree of prirliegu •< which is accorded to an cxiiectanl " bridegroom. •Sucli was tlie condition of tilings ' when tlio strange and |ieqilexing train '■ of circumstance of which I am about '' 1 to write took place. They were gen- f" 1 erally known in Xew York, and wen-, " at Uie time, the subject of much remark 1 tlie imprrasiou tliey made on the i * I jmhllc mind was greatly nbatml by that ! far more astounding event which oc- 1 " • curred a few montlis afterwanl— the I ' ' ■ munler of GuUelnw Sands. This [ro1 gcdy. srns cxixetUnglr mysterious.— , " • Wi I i wis tried and aequlttcil,' 'though | 1,1 •In. v then hiecuilt has lien made quite | - apjaacnt.

The latter was iu n vacant j a; • lotnot far from Kittle (i rove, and there ! '' I the body was subsequently discovered. ' !! The popular norel, by T. 8. Fay, en- j 11 - titled "Xormnn I*-*lic," is founded | 11 U|<on this aflhir, which, a» I said, ab- j sorbed public attention to tlie exc'.n- ; sion of all other topics. | n 1 I hare stated that tlie captain had j lv at the Walton House, in Frank- 1 '' , Square, which was srparateil from ) "i Grovo bjta mile's distance.

This atnxl : was ltardly more tlun a crooknl highway, skirting the Collect, or pond, which covered what is now the site of of Centre Street. After nacbiug Cbalham Street the city was i-loaely all the way to Fmukliu N]tinre. up to this avenue oil was rural and j | One night, shortly after his engagemrabt with Anna Ik|nington h.ul com j nffinerflJTic happened to remain nn1 usually late in company with hisAos'f I j and n lady -friend.

It 'certainly would interest her, Inasmuch ! as she was a believer in tlie supernat- ■ ural; but then It might, on the other , - bund, excite apprehensions, snd hence - he concluded to say nothing about IL . t This conclusion was strcngthcd by • subsequent considerations. The mystcnous fsotlall might be a delusion, ! while the letter might bo a hoax; but I I yet, while be endeavored to treat tho - 1 tlio matter with this indltfcrcncr, It r ati! 1 haunted him, and filled him with • iK-rplcxlng thoughts. One thing wss t certain, on returning from his next 0 visit to Miss Barrington's, hei waa care. 1 ful to Kvo'.d Mult, rrv .sir. i t. In or- » der to do this, he took tlie broail high- . way on the North Blrrr side of the dty - (at present known as Hudson Street). - and tlien turned up Vesey Street, paas- :- ing Ut. Paul's ciureb-jsrd, crossed c Broadway, thence down Partition t .Street (now Fulton) to Pearl, and up e IVarl to his residence. During this - ; long walk Captain Walton lirorei notli- - 1 ing to disturb or annoy Mm: and his e j unpleasant feeling had worn off when y j ton days subsequently, another inri1 ! dsnl occurred which revived till* with o ' full power. He hmdheen to the thror I tre— the lhuk Theatre, of cwrse, for " It was tlien the only iastitution of Uw It kind to Xow York, and fisr yearn afd . tcrward headed lu posters to this simr. ;de but dignified style: "Tbaatro"- ^ snd had rocortcd Miro Harrington to " Uie carriage which contained b-r falhs 'er. The old gon firman aridura went.

having seen one of Cooper's best Imprhumationa,- he indstol on taking ; Anna home, and thus reiicviog the captain nf a long excursion to their re- j sidencc and hack. Ttio latter then | turned down Ilcekman Street, and as It one o'clock. Oils locality was alto- 1 gelher descrtnl.

But all was qniet, tho 1 street was deserted, and no form was ] risible. He continued his way, ner- ' and miserable, for tlie sounds beclear and unmistakable and filled with dread. As be readied St. ' ' George's Chapel they seemed to strike ' simultaneously with his own steps.— they changed, and exhibited the inequality; sometimes slow. ' sometimes lagging very far behind, ' and then hurrying up in a run until j usual propinquity wa« reached; and this was not subsequently eiceodi Walton turned, glancing over 1 but no one was visile. Tlie horrors 1 ' of this intangible, unseen persecuUon 1 became intolerable; and when, at last readied the old mansion, his nerves | Utterly out of the question, and did not : evffn attempt to lie down until after •In) light, lie was awakened by a ' from Ills servant, who had tlie morn- 1 tog's mall. There were several letters among which otic instantly excited his 1 attention, and be read Its contents with ' an eager eye. They were aa follows: > you think.

There ( lay before him, identical to hand- c writing; and lie not only read but stud- t led them to every word and syllable, f until they were printed on his memory The whole of this affair gradually become connected with certain pas- ( sages in his own life which, above ail j others lie hud tried to forgot, Tint which ^ now came fresh Into his memory. It ( therefore a fortunate circumstance, iiiasmtirli 11. If assisted to divert and occupy liis mind, that he then conceived the idea of recovering Mr. Bar- J cr, Anna Barrington's. This grew out ol a remarkable position of the case. Mr. Barrlngton owned, prior to tlio Revolution, a large tract of land ( the suburbs of the city, which was now worth five thousand dollars per acre, and hence would bring an cnor- ^ tnous sum of money. This laud, howover, was file property of his wife, but during tlie hurry and confusion of ^ military proceeding. It had bren vlew«1 as belonging to himself, and lietitu ^ been sold. Anna Harrington was J her mother's sole heir; and. liar- ' 1 been wronged by the sale of the e»1 into, it would bo proper for Congress t to correct the error and to restore her possession. To further this end Captain Walton had obtained the influ- ' 1 i-noa of Aaron Burr; and any measure ( recommended by him was to be carried. It is true, liurr was unpopular ' in Xew York,, but his influence in ' Congress, notwithstanding this, wa. ; : very great The excitement growing out of this claim so engrossed Captain ' Walton's mind that it lost ita gloom, ' ' ami i-mo-d -ntrc motr eiaattc and tmt- 1 ' urn', so that Ilia friend, congratulated ' him un his improved uppearance, and am! Mias Harrington could not conceal : har delight After a while, however, 1 1 he waa dismayed by occasional renew- ' • aU or tho some annayance, which oc- ' curred to tho daytime, to lonely ' places as well as at night Sometimes 1 tliey appeared so (Mnt that It waa dlf- < 1 dealt, if not impossible, to distinguish 1 ' between them and tho hndci of an ex- ' r cited imagination; and when he was 1 : in company they were beard' by him ' 1 and by none else. For instance, one ' night he Whs returning from a public ' meeting held in Martling's tavern, ' which afterward became Tnmmany I 1 llall: for, although not a politician, ' ho would oAasionally go to lienr a fine' 1 speaker, and on this occasion It was !

I well ■ remember that group, of which I wa* - " a member, walked down Frenkford 1 Street to Pearl, and another tiirmlrr 1 of this group was Captain Walton. 1 He seemed taciturn and ahrent-uiln l1 nl, nod so different from his ooaveraa- - tiouai mood that one might imagine 1 tii at some deep anxiety was preying 1 on his heart.
