Mr.. EDlroR.-In your paper of the 18th inst. l
observed communication on claivoyance, etc
This contained a splendid army of facts" the most
important of which was in my humble opinion, the
text; and following the principles there laid down.
will suspend my judgment on clairvoyance. Yet l
must say there is something strange about it; yet
believe it is right that such facts should be pre-
sented to the people, and then let them judge for
themselves. Now do not doubt but that some in
dividuals can be found so fool-hardy to dispute
the facts" presented in that most interesting COM
ulunication. Such persons may not be found, but
for fear there are such, will present a few more
facts for tho consideration of Your readers and
these TINT shall state he proved by hundreds of
men, women and children, at the places where they
occurred.
Sometime in the present contury,-(my memory
in relation to dates is not very good and it is only
the facts Of the that we are AFTER We will pay
no attention to time or pluce,)-as l was about to
say, sometime in the nineteenth century the ma
tves' of a certain town in New York were astonsh-
ed by the arrival among them of most distinguish
cd parsonage, in tho Hesme11c or CLuiruOyam line
Madame Rumor had asserted that she was coming
sometime previous to her arrval-but who would
believe that they would be so highly honored :?
Fans said that heroinc,-for she was luly-
could perform the most supernatural wonders, or
miracles, while in the clairvoyant state-for in
stance, could heal the sick, discover hidden treas
ures, recover stolen property, &C., &c.
What prctensions she made herself cannot say,
b,l ,,3Ao no clo tl,otc
the word of God or to make the expression little
softcr she could tell "whcn any part of the bible
had been mistranslated." This must be an uncom-
monty great help TO our biblical students who do not
understand the original languagesi in which the bible
wns written. This l do not assert for fact; but
what follows do state as frcts and wish every one
to believe them SUCH and if you do not, kind read
or, shall think YOU q real skeptic. But before |
proceed farther will name our heroine, and this
is rather back place. and names scarce will call
her Luy-this is very pretty name, my estma-
ton. Now dear reader, l have neither time nor
space though have an inclination to relate all the
miraculous cures she performed in this town, but
must tell one that she effected in ad joining town.
There was a certain old lady who was sick, "dyng
of the consumption" She had heard of Lucy ex-
traordinary power Of healing diseases She sent for
her--Lucy came, and Mrs. Patient Immediately
restored to perfect health. And in relating the cir
eumstance atterward, she said "lf it had not been
for Lucy I should have been dead and buried sic
months ago. though, by the way, three months lad
not elapsed since She the patient first heard of Miss
Lucy. fany one find more wonderful case
on record than this, will give it up-that's ALL
And this is true; believe it or not, reader, shan't
quarrel with you.
There are no mistakes to these facts, assure
you, but there may be other mistakes. Now l will
proceed to relate just one instance out of many of
her finding hidden treasures. Two of her satellites
wishing to find some easier method of subsistence
than by shooting horses and cutting garments, re-
quested her to inform them where to dig for mon
ey." She did so, and at it they went, late in the
fall and this too in the northern part of the state of
New York, where the ground freezes many feet
deep. Il was hard work, assure you, but this was
not the worst of the affair. Give your attention
now and you shall soon know the ,Colst as far as
am capable Of informing you. Night after night
they toiled and toled, delvng in tho stony frozen
earth-for how many am not prepared to say, but
twas for quite number of our cold frosty nights.
BY the way, think Lucy might have given them
better place to dig, but with that have nothing to
do; have only to act the part of faithful hisor-
an. They did not work in the day. don't know
the reason, but suppose their deeds were dark,
they preferred darkness rather than light. don't
assert this for fdct-only as a suppositon. They
had, however, almost reached the treasure when
they were obliged to be absent only one night; the
next they returned, when 10! the money came up
missing 1t was gone, gone, clean gone Some one
had preceded them; either the Evil One or some
other bad person. Too bad they concluded if
Lucer had taken it they could not recover it, buff
any one else had, they would obtain it. They re-
turned to Lucy, who told them that a respectable,
well-todo farmer in the vicinity had it. They went
to him and charged him with it, He did not dare
deny it, and finally gave them permission to search
his house. on the condition that they should give
him half they found TO these conditions they JOY
fully consented and in faith they searched it well,
from the rat hole in the cellar to the rag hole in the
CARROT. but they found it not Poor fellows dire
dismay came upon them. Still their faith was
