SIR JOHN FRANKLIN.-It appears tha,
the spirits which have been exciting the
people of Cortland county, n. Y, with
their mysterious rappings, have conde.
Scended to make some revelations con.
cerning the fate Of Sir John Franklin
We take the annexed from letter in the
N. Y. Tribune, for the sincerity of the
writers Of which, that paper vouches:
Last evening a number of young peo-
pie were assembled at the house of Mr..
CottrelI, in this town, for the purpose of
conversing with the spirit rappiug; aud
as MIR. Cottrell and myself had held com.
munication with the spirit in regard TO
the origin of the Aborigines of this coun-
try, we proceeded to ask few questions
at this time-to all OF which we received
satisfactory answers; and, after CONVEX
sing upon various interesting subjects,
the conversation turned upon the fate
and Whereabouts of Sir John Franklin,
about whom SO much interest has been
manifested by all civilized nations, but
whose fate has, up to this time, been
shrouded in mystery. The first question

we received ar affirmative answer. rs
he where the Esquimaux reported they
saw him." No" "Did he find north.
west passage and sail through Behring's
Straits" YES" The question was then
asked if the spirit would spell out the
name Of the place where he is at present.
and it spells out Yongtown which we
found out by further inquiries was city
situated seventy miles from Jeddo, on the
southwestern coast of the island of Nj.
phon, the largest Of the japanese group.
The spirit revealed that experiencing al.
most unparalleled hardships in finding a
passage, he had gone TO the island for the
purpose of trading with the natives; tina.
he was attacked by them, and after an
obstinate resistance. in which part of his
men were killed, himself and the remain
DER were taken prisoners. They were
placed in close confinement, where they
have been for eleven months, and are trea-
ted with the greatest cruelty and insult

THAT INDIANA LETTER ABOUT DIR. PARK
MAN.-The Wabash Courier, in noticing
the letter from that place, recently pub
lished liz the Boston Post, saying that a
man named R. w. Dillinghamer had seen
Dr.. Parkman in Terre Haute; that he had
arrived there by canal boat, and had left
the next day, in the stage for ST. Louis,
under the name Of A. M Thiston-says,
''ln the first place, there was no canal
boat here, from the time DR.. Park man
was murdered till the evening of the
nineteenth of April, one day after this
letter is dated. In the second place, 1t is
as hard for this community to find Mr.,
Atwood and MIR. Dillinghamer, as it is to
find DR.. Parkman. We never saw or
heard tell of these two men before, neithe:
can we find any body in these parts that
ever did. In the third place, there is no
such name as Thiston on the register at
