Miss Catharine E. Beecher has written the fol-
lowing letter to the Tribune
SIR: have just witnessed some Spiritual Man
ifestatons'' that may interest your readers, and
perhaps furnish the philosophy of the singufsr phe
nomena thus deneminated.
After witnessing various trippings and movngs
of furniture, and after having myself taken ride
on table around room with no apparent motive
power but tho delicate fingers of oung ladyres-
ting on the top of it, was induced to examine
still further.
invited this young lady and another in the vi
cnity, who was ga medium to experiment with
me alone at my room. To few minutes my ta-
BILE began to move about. requested the young
ladies 10 ,r7H it to move in certain directions and
found that it under the control of their vokon
but only at certain times. At other times it
seemed to n owe without being guided by them,
and as copjectured by currerts Of electricity, and
interrupted their power for time and then ceased
and they recovered it again.
| We then tried spelling with the alphabet, and
with success. One of the young ladies', conjectu
ring that in this too. her will might have in
fuence, without mentioning her desig n, wied tha
the word s'mother' should be spelled by the
knocks. 1t was done. We tried other wo.ds il
the same way with uniform success. Tn
knockings saemed tobe on the surftcs of tie table
Either one of the mediums would mentally aeil
TO have word spelled, and then me other, with
out knowing what it was, wodld call over the al
phahet, and the wor! selected was uniformly spell
led. gentleman ard several ladies' were calle
in, and the thiLg was repeated with the sam
success.
My Impression is that ony person who's So NE
drArn'' in the room. and in some peculiar case
persons out of the loom, sven at great distance
might regalate the spelling by their viii. Certain
phenomena of elaiSoydace, which have wit
messed. comes in ;oaecount for this part. thin
we have the Key for much which has been mys
terious, and one which probably, in due time, Wi
end the whole theory of supsrnatardlism.
Respectfully yours,

Rayenna institute,

FH\HlS Institute has been pursuing successful
II course for three terms, and has received
large measure of public favor aud confidence
Inc building is spacious and elegant and well ad-
apied to scholastic purposes, and is furnished with
the necessary requisites for an Institution of the
kind. Tins institution occupies IN eminently desi-
rable position 1t is in tb, midst of an intelligent
ana Moral community, and is surrounded bya
healthy and beautiful country. 1t is also easy of
access, lying on the line Of the Cleveland and
Pittsburgh Rail Road. The number of students
in attendance during the last term, exceeded our
most sanguine expectations.
Having enlarged the room for the young ladies;>
and purchased desks and seats, we can now ac
commodate l25 students. The year is divided
into four terms, of IL weeks each. The next
term will commence on the 31st of January. Stu
dents may be admitted at any time during the
term, but should, if possible, enter at the COM
mencement, as the classes are then arranged for
the whole term None will be received for less
than half term. All who enter within she first
three weeks, leave within the last three weeks,
will be required to pay tuition for the whole term
No deductions will be made account of absence
unless it be the result of sickness or urgent neees
sity.
The course Of instruction embraces every SUBJ
ject of Literature and Science taught in the most
approved academies. Glasses are formed every;
term, in the several departments to suit the vari
ous grades of scholarship, and the convenience Of.
students.
Feeling grateful to the public for the liberal
patronage we have received, we hope 10 merit q.
continuance of the same.
Board in Respectable families and on reasonable
terms, may bs obtained.

MEssRs EDIToRs There is some feeling
among the different portions of the Democratic
party. If General Pierce TO sess sufficient firm
ness to go forward without being intimiduted by
the South Lis pathway will be smooth, but it he
begins to Yield, he will find rough passage over
the Presidential sea.
The discharge of Rachel Parker and her sister

persons who knew her to be free and she too Vas
discharged. Thus Pennsylvania surrenders her
free citizens to the slave pirates Of Baltimore with

l no'ce the Wing ,,ers are saying many things
10 regard to the F rec Trade resolution adopted at
the Free Democratic Convention. 1t is here
locked uron as having reference 10 plan of reep-
riocy Of trade with Canada- which, l suppose,
meets with very general f.vur among the people of

suppose the Free Democracy of Ohio 20 for pro-
