er tour of lecturing. She has eight members of the
Shaker community with her; and last night, in Dor-
chester, Alington Hall was crowded with persons
apparently anxious to listen to her. But they did not
seem quite to relish the performance. After Mrs.
Girling had delivered her address, the five young
women and two of the men began to make evolutions,
and these she stated to be the manifestesions of the
spirit. The audience seemed imoatient, and there
were discordant noises. Ides. Gilding was asked
whether she and those with her did not 'get a decent
cruet out of it'? Come and me us,' was her reply,
and a Shakers.' added, 'lt is • very dry crust.' 'The
' meeting dossed in uproar. The audience did not seem
to think the Shakers worshipped In 'spirit and iu
, truth.'"
