from Saffron Walden, table-motions only were obtained through Mrs. Everitt’s mediumship; but the move ments were of a marked character, for once a small table moved without contact with anybody, and at another time, at supper, the table rose from the ground with all the things on it. At the end of the three months slight “ticks” or raps were heard, and these quickly grew more powerful, till before another three months had passed away, tremendous blows would come upon the floor,“ as if,” says Mr. Everitt, “somebody were striking the floor from the kitchen underneath with a log of timber, jarring the whole house up to the top For a whole year the physical manifesta windows. tions increased in power. It was not meaningless noise, but always showed that there was an intelligence behind, or using this power, for it sometimes gave very startling information, and by her placing only one finger on a small table, it would sometimes walk along the passage, and up and down stairs. During all this time Mrs. Everitt was very timid; she could even hear the spirits walking before and after her sometimes. These things did not come by her will or wish, and she seemed to care very little about her mediumship ; it was a very considerable time—perhaps two or three years—before she would let the spirits use her hand as a writing medium, although they often asked her permission. She let them write messages by means of the planchette, shortly before she allowed them to write through her hand. Very often at the séances the power was so strong, that the spirits would shake the whole house from cellar to garret, and the vibrations at last loosened the hold of the ends of the rafters in the brick work of the front of the house, so that the floors of the upper bed-rooms were in danger of falling through. Mr. Everitt accordingly had to have the brickwork of the two upper storeys of the front of his house wholly rebuilt, and after this expensive opera tion was performed, he was told by the spirits that the damage had been done to give evidence that the mani festations were real, and not mental impressions. Since the rebuilding, the house has not been shaken so vio lently, although powerful vibrations are often set up. It was in November, 1867, that the audible spirit voice was first obtained through the mediumship of Mrs. Everitt. Miss Nichols (now Mrs. Guppy) called upon Mrs. Everitt, and they had a dark séance. Fruit and flowers were brought by the spirits, who then changed the places of the sitters, and asked Mrs. Everitt to go to the other side of the room. A peculiar low whisper was then heard, as if somcbody were trying to articulate; this frightened Mrs. Everitt and Mrs. Guppy; but the former was then thrown into a trance-sleep for the first time, and the spirit John Watt first made himself known to the mortals present. He gave an account of himself, saying that he was a native of Torquay; that he was an engineer by trade; that he left this world at the age of thirty years; he was not married in this world, but has since met with his conjugal partner, whose spirit name is Mercia. He speaks of her as a pure spirit, for she never breathed in this world, as she was still-born. During the next ten or twelve sittings, John Watt always refused to use a paper tube; but at last he took it, and then could speak very much louder. Later still, other voiccs were obtained through Mrs. Everitt’s mediumship. John Watt often sends an assistant of his, Joseph Smith, of Torquay, to talk to the circle when his other work will not let him come himself; his assistants also often get everything ready before his arrival, so that he may then begin to speak at once. One day, about two years ago, Mrs. Hardinge came to the circle, and from that time a spirit, who gives the name of Znippy, and says that he was born on one of the South Sea Islands, has often spoken with an audible voice through Mrs. Everitt’s mediumship. He says that he came over with Mrs. Hardinge in a big ship, and that he "died" in America when about fifteen years old. Now and then departed friends of persons who have casuall visited Mrs. Everitt’s circle, have come to talk with an audible voice, and, in some instances, have satisfactorily proved their identity. In connection with Mrs. Everitt’s mediumship, a very curious circumstance once took place, tending to shov that perhaps the eastem superstition as to efficacy of charms and amulets originally had a foundation upon facts. On the 25th March, 1868, Mrs. Everitt went to a séance at the house of Mrs. Gregory, near Hyde-park, and a ring was taken off her finger, in the course of the sitting. When she came home she searched for it, but it could not be found. Next day, March 26th, John Watt said that the ring was in his possession, and that Mrs. Everitt's spirits were throwing their influence into the ring to strengthen her mediumship. For three or four weeks afterwards, John Watt’s voice and the other manifestations were very weak, and John Watt said that the power could not be regained till she had the ring back again. Twenty-nine days after the ring was taken, Mrs. Everitt was at a dark séance, at the house of Mr. Childs, 21, Offord-road, Islington, and was told that the ring had been brought back. A light was
