On or about the Goth of June last, as |
lay meditating before day, Isawplainly the
appearance of a young woman, by name
Ashley, standing by my bedside. Tab
-ha departed this life about the 18th OF Fe-
bruary last. The apparition said TO me,
g win YOU go to my fathers house, and
read ana pray with them, pray nightly
with them, and warn them to prepare to
meet their God in heaven? And also, go
to my sisters house and warn them also to
10 prepare to meet their God in heayen!'
And | said will go. This alarming sight
and voice putme in strange amazement
for ten DAYS when one day as was alone
in my Smith shop, about midday, | heard
avoice say to me, 6 am afraid you will
not go to my fathers house." then turn
ed to see. who it was, but saw 10 one. /
then turned to go out, when the voice said,
I. And will you go?" | then spoke an said,
If the Lord viii enable me will go, and
perform as far as the Lord enableme. The
voice replied g Do as soon as you can make
it convenient" Accordingly [ went and
performed my message, and again on my
return, heard the voice say to me, :" Now
/ am satisfied" The apparation was dress
ed in arobe of white, of a strange descrip-
ton.

A circumltance took place at the Cape,
about the beginning Of December, which
excited much unea6ueis among the A
