with party of ladies' and gentlemen, at private
house in this City, when M GASDON aud his
nephew exhibited the astounding results which
tkey are able to produce by some means entirely

gentlemen and all were dumbfounded at the re-
suit. Every test that ingenuity could sOggest
was made, and always with the same success on
the part OF M. Gsndon aud his pupil.

are 10 80 intimate rapport chat the Impressions
of the one are directly felt by the other None

TO be in excellent health, and 70 possess sound
nervous system. Still, we conceive the whole to
be near akin to that general class Of phenomena
known as Mesmeric.
