SPIRITUAL RAPpERS.

We have received one or two numbers of a
large and handsomely printed sheet called the
spiritual World" published weekly in St.
Louis, AMI edited by PErER f. BLANp, Esq.
Bland is young man Of fine talents, Il classical
education, and, wthal, good lawyer. We re-
greet that our friend b. should invest his money
and devote his time, which could be more prof
itably and usciulIy employed, 10 a cause which
cannot be productive OF any good, and the phil
osophy and principles Of which cannot be eX-
planned That there is something mysterious
in these pretended conmunicationswithth the dead,
all must admit. But that the spirits often give
wrong answers TO questions, goes to prove that
they are deficient in that knowledge which the
mediums ascribe 10 them, we ho,r TO be fact.
Spiritual beings canrot have fore-knowledge or
universal knowledge, unless it was specially
impaired to them by the Supreme Being,
when sent on u mission, and in chat case,
they caunot err. We confess that we have been
stumped and COMPOUNDED at certain exhibitions,
but not more so than we have been at the Geats
of Mons. Adie, the magician. The best that
we can say in favor Of these rappings, If super
natural, that they are ancient wltcheraIt revived.
Our DsUH is a medium, and by holding pen
loosely in his hands, it will, Involuntary on his
part, write answers to notwithstanding his
eyes from the paper, he knows not what is
written until he examines. Though sometimes
correct in his replies he frequently makes mis-
takes. But he made our little writing table
perform some most wonderful reats, a few nights
since. Ii went anywhere about our sanctum
that il might be directed. 1t travelled about
with boy seated on the top Of it, and when re-
quired 10 careen and slide him Off it did so, not =
withstanding youth Of considerable strength
tried TO hold him on. The table was told TO
Shdke hands with certain man---it went TO the
place he was standing, and dragonaiy held up
one Of its legs. 1t was required TO get into the
lap Of another, when it approached him and
placed one leg on his knee. Now these are
facts which several Of the best Of our citizens
can testify to, and who are still increduous
with regard TO their spiritual origin. We know
not what motive power caused the table to move
about as it did. The youth could not have been
in collision with any other person, and that, TO
us, renders the whole thing so much the more
mysterious. We present what actually did take
place, and our readers may form their own con-
illusions. The youth cnqurCd the name of the
spirit, and TO his utter surprise wrote down the
name Of his father, who died many years ago.

Of Shot Guns and Rifles embraces all the differ

TO this branch Of our trade, we have been con-
WINGED that the supply has never been equal tc
the demand, and that the locality of our city be-
ing in game country and our citizens fond OF
hunting, at least can speak for one, makes this
a point for the establishment of a "Gun En-
porium," on large scale, in which may be
found guns suitable for all kinds of game, in ev-
cry variety Of size, style and price. Believing
such an assortment, sold at low rates, would
command the patronage of the citizens Of Han

the last year, been shaping my plans 10 this
effect during which time have made arrange
ments with the largest importing houses in st.

of guns at very small advance on importation,
