A young lady, a widow, who describes herself as
young and handsome, has been advertising in the French
newspapers her desire to be married. A few weeks ag

MESMERIC CLAIRVOYANCE.—A few years ago the very existeel
of mesmeric agency was, in this town as in most other parts of ,74
kingdom, treated by some as an idle fable, and by the majoritY
the public its most curious phenomena were regarded as thef:r
duction of imposture acting upon credulity and excited isna.-.1..,
tion. The various professors, however, who .have visited o'44g
Lafontaine, Braid, 'Collier Spencer Hall, and others—have j 0
ago `convinced all but the obstinately blind that the human sr_of
and senses are capable of being operated upon by the aFeacisite
mesmerism or magnetism animal o" otherwise, end various .444
gular effects produced, such as the cataleptic, the clairvoyant, ~ito-
