have seldom witnessed. The room was
crowded by concourse OF people, who
remained together four hours; and their
interest increased up TO the last moment
Our most sanguine hopes, as to the char
acter OF the meeting, have been more than
realized. A more gratifying and success

TRANCE AND NATURAL CLAIRvoY-
ANcE.-There is, at the time Of writing
this article, (April 4. a case oftrance and
natural cIairvoyance in this city, CT con-
siderable interest
A young lady about sixteen years OF
age, made a public profession Of religion
and connected herself with one If the
Methodist Episcopal churches here, about
six weeks ago. For the last Ten DAYS she
has been most of the tire, in state of
trance, as her religious friends call il. Ii
commenced very soon after she hal been
much exeited aud had prolessed to become
completely saEclified. She was observed
TO fail Into an apparently unconscious
state. and the limbs becoming quite rigid,
precisely like the cases we have before
described of natural somnambuIists, or
when we have induced The state by palhe-
ism.
This is, undoubtedly. a case of som.
namhulism, though, her friends, (some OF
them) think ilqulIe miraculous. She has,
occasionally, a correct perception Of the
characters OF different persons who enter
her room, and will address them n re-
proofs, or exhortalionsto prayer and praise,
according TO their various characters,
though she is said to have had no prevI-
Gus knowledge Of them beforehand -
When one enters her room who is pious
or believed TO BE so by her, she clasps her
hands Into the form Of wha. she calls "a
crown" and places them upon his head
and the statements she makes about the
the character, views and feelings of those
who have been 10 see her, are considered
BY her friends, as the miraculous interpo
suion ofthe Divine Being. And we frank
ly confess, that there is every wav as
much Of the miraculous il this case, as in
those Of the Tyrol Virgins" noticed il
GU. last.
| Ono of her friends, q clerical lady
seemed to view it as quite proiane, wher
we informed her that we had put persons
into state precisel similar, in which
they had made descriptions Of the charac
ters OF strangers every way as correct am
remarkable as in the present case. Ant
il is curious enough, TO see how honestly
many good people will believe in cas-,
of natural clairvovance, when they ar,
