DANGEROUS RlDE.-The passengers
in one Of the cars of the Tuesday after
noon Portland train, when at Rowley,
hearing strange noise under the car,
called the attention of the conductor to
it. Mr.. Prescott, in looking for the
cause, discovered "a son of the green
Isle" on one of the truck frames of the
car! On enquiry, it was ascertained
that nc took hts seat at East Boston and
had been in it the whole distance to
Rowley, some 80 miles! The poor fel-
low was badly chafed by the motion of
the cars, and was so stiff with the cold,
that it was with difficulty hewas taken
out He was taken into the depot and
cared for, but it was half an hour before
he could speak word. Had he not
been discovered atythat time, he proba-
bly, would have persisted in a few min
utes.--j Bost. Times.

elucidation Of the phenomena Then. perhaps You may
ask, do yon believe that those are communications from
the spirit worldl In reply let me say that is easier
for me to attribute them this source, than to any 9TH
er; for it is evident every mind thathas heard them,
that they nantes, intelligence far superior to human be-
ngs; aud they cannot in NY mind, be received any
other ground than that they are indeed and in truth,
what they purport to be-spirits from the interior
world"
In regard to the possibility such communications be.
tween the inhabitants Of the natural world and the spir
its Of the spiritual world Swedenborg says spirit and
angels when pleases the Lord even see the objects
of the world through the eyes of men, but this is only
granted By the Lord, when he gives to discourse
with spirits and angels, and to be in company with
them. 1t has thus been granted them to see through
my eyes the objects of this world. and to see them
distinctly my self. and Also to hear men dscourSing
with me-
A great many objecters say, that these things are
done by Mr. Sunderland as 'tricks, and that he is i'm
posing upon hepublioI win say that Mr.. 5. has moth
ing to do with the Communications more than assist
those who wish to hold converse with spirits, to right
state Of mind. The last time was present. Mr. s had
gone Lynn, and received responses just as prompt
as ever; that is wholly unfounded.
If these things what they appear to be- is of the
utmost Importance that mankind should lend a listening
ear to the heavenly messengers they convey our
spirits their sweet messages of Lore, Peace and Truth
am requested by the spirits to write this communi-
cation for ''he Daily spy; trust Therefore, that ii
viii be acceptable.
Propose any such questions, and the responses are
much ounder and cheering, thus indicating their great
joylulness in having these Spiritual Manifestations
