p9- There has been considerable
difficulty on the part of our Hopkinton
subscribers about getting their papers.
Now we cannot imagine where the fault
lies, for to our certain knowledge they
have been regularly mailed from this
Office without a single exception, and in
a distance 80 short as between this vii
lagc and Hopkinton, there is not apt to
be much chance for miscarriage. But
there is fault some where and it ought
to be rectifed Immediately.

A CASE OF MYSTERIOUS KNoCKrNGs.-
When it first became a question here
abouts of Spiritual manifestations, rap
pings and media, it will be recollected
(for it is only within couple of weeks }
that the moon shone out quite brightly.
On one of these evenings 1--WE are in
formed) sat certain young Miss with
her good Mamma, in their quiet home
plying their needles and discoursins
about the Rochester mysteries, wher
suddenly light tap was heard upon th'
blind of one of the windows. The gir
was startled. What was that ?" she
cried. Another tap followed. "The
Spirits % she exclaimed. The old lady
paused. Mag" said she, otis the
wind" No ma, just listen" Tap
tap, went ntupon the blinds again. "Dea
me I'm afraid" cried the daughter
"I'll 60 and see what it is" said tn,
mother. "No, ma-dou't," screame,
Maggie Sits the spirits, ma, and on,
don't know what they may do" Blu
the old lady rose, her daughter vainl
attempting to arrest her progress; an
just as she reached the window, a vcr
loud whisper said -
=" Mag, amt you coming out for
walk as you said you would 7" There,
cried the girl, stamping her foot an
running to her room 81 knew he

was travelling in the cars, the other day,
from Bellefontaine 10 Kenton, o., when
he fell in with decided character. He
wos tolerably drunk. Let Hamilton tell
the rest. He said he lived in Urbana:
that the Methodists had great revival
there year or so ago, and that more than
q hundred were converted; and that he
had been converted some years before,
and had joined the church. We asked
him il he still belonged to ii. "No" said
he, ",hey turned me out for the most iriv.
olous thing in the world; il I'd know'd
they'd turned me out for such a ttttit
thing as that. I'd never a joined
Said we what, "did you do.'

outrun another fellows; won the money,
and then got drunk, and had ftco fights.
That's all. and they turned me out for
that!" @
