SALE OF. A Factory. The Amesbury (Mass.)
Manufacturing Company have sold out their estab-
lishment TO the Salisbury Manufacturing Company.
The price paid for the real and machinery
100000. The Amesbury Company have on hand
goods finished and unfinished to the amount Of $780,
900. and about $5O.0O0 in cash. The stockholders
will receive by this sale about 800 per share. The
original cost Of the shares was 81 900.
Exchange paper.
1t seems, then, that the Tariff of 1916 has
"ruined" the shares in this Factory from 81, 600
up to $1,000!

HIGH PRIcEs. The Poin, Goupee (La.) Echo of
the 18th has the following facts with regard TO the
present value of negroes: I" At succession sale
which attended on Monday last. we were struck
al the extraordinary high prices at which the nef
were sold. The terms were fifteen per cent. cash,
and the balance credit of and two years.
On these conditions. we saw ordinary .nesre women
sold tor over $1,000, and field hands at over &l400.
When we consider that our population is entirely
destitute of banking facilities, these prices prove
degree of agricultural prosperity Of which We may
we'll be proud"

BISHOP IVES.

Bishop Ives in attaching himself to the Roman
Catholic Church, has parted voluntarily with a
good living and dignifed position, and become a
plain lay member. 1t cannot, therefore, be charg-
ed that he has been actuated in his course by
mercenary motives. His sincerity no one can doubt,
whatever may be thought said as to the correct
ness of his judgment
The ex-Bishop cannot become priest in the
Catholic Church. unless Mrs. Ives shall consent to
enter Convent; and even then he will be requir-
ed to 60 through regular course of Theological
studies Probably Professorship in some Catholic
College may be rendered him. We have no doubt
he will be provided for by the Church to which he
has attached himself
II he should ever become priest, his labors will
be heavy and his salary quite small.
The course of the ex- Bishep has excited much
feeling in this State. The members Of his former
Church are-as might reasonably have been ex
pected- Indignant and mortified, while the subjec
has elected much talk among other Churches ant
among men of the world generally.
But the gale will die along the shore" and b
forgotten. In few months we shall have calm
The bubble will disappear from the surface, ant
the waters will be smooth again. Those who ar
indignant will learn to be more charitable an,
merciful and those who are mortified will forge
the past in respect and regard for the new Bishop
his successor.

THE TABLE EXPERIMENTS.

THE TABLE EXPERIMENTS
81 The New York Commercial Advertisers has, ,the
following on this subject: 49,,
in the family Of friend Of ours, several attempts
have been made 10 divine the secret of table-moyne
char-dancing and other freaks Of household farni.
gine, which form part Of the spirnpping exhibitions.
Last evening they succeeded perfectly. Standing
around small table, i've six members Of the fam
iy kept their hands upon its surface for considers
bic time, until, magnetic current between them
selves and the table was established.
They then found ttat by holding the hand short
distance from the table, attraction remained full
force The table. without being touched, was thus
lifted. or made to lean an angle Of forty.
degrees and subsequently followed the operators to
some distance.
4 The table on which the young people experiment.
ed was very small one. We presume that when
the experiment has been a few, times repeated the
table will yield the attractive force with more ready
and wonderful agility. There can be no doubt that
il s lnagnetised, and if SO, each trial, believe,
will increase the power of attraction. This take
IT, solves the whole seeming mystery Of the "spri-
tual " imposition which has been practised SO long
upon the credulous and supeistitious.
The moving of tables by an unseen power has al.
ways been accounted greater feat than the produc.
ing of sound. Wehave no doubt that the same agent
can produce both effects. The imposture consists in
the pretence of supernatural intercommunications.
We hope to hear that the key being discovered,
nQs
boldness of the imposture have had, and have
given illustrations; and probably the rappers will
flnd some dupes even In spite of evidence of their
fraud"
The Wilmington Herald says: 49,
"The experiments allnded to in the above extract

move from one part Of room to another, to stand
upon or two legs, and to be controlled or
less by the will We have not yet seen these things
but upon the evidence of those who have, are
compelled to believe in the truth of the experiments.
We do not entertain the idea for moment that
the witnesses are either mistaken, willfully mis-
represent. guilty Of coiusion. In fact in these
smart days we know not what 10 disbelieve and are
almost prepared to swallow any new theory however
strange or apparently impossible This candid con.
fession, will, of course, provoke smile from those
superior intelligences who dismiss subject they
cannot comprehend with the brief expetive '' Hun.

eight hundred persons congregated there The
bodies of those who were so suddenly and aw.
fully ushered into eternity are 80 dishgured that
many of their most intimate friends are unable
TO identity them. The eight o'clock train from
New York this morning for Norwalk was HI
led with passengers to it's utmost capacity. and
many were unable to procure accommodation
IL was also the same when the l14 o'clock
train started. Up to 12 o'clock last night two
additional bodies have been found, one male
and The other female. They have not up 10
the present time been identified.
Preparations were making this morning to
drag The creek. which is very deep, for the dis.
1covery orthe bodies ofthe missing, and cannons
were fred at intervals for the purpose OF distur
bing tho waters. and compelling them TO yield
up the dead. The locomotive, OF which at
low water yesterday no traces could be dlscov
cred, was found this morning. almost entirely
buried in the opposite bank OF the creek. The
evidence adduced al the coroners inquest,
previous to the adjournment last night, was
principally corroborative of the statements al
ready made with regard To the man at the
drawbrdge having hoisted the warning signal
at least Is minutes before tho arrival OF the
train, and that no whistle was heard by any oil
the surviving passengers.
The examination of the Conductor of the
train was commenced this morning. The
scenes at Norwalk are heart rending in the
extreme The houses in which the bodies o.
the victims are laid out in rows, for indentf
cation, present sickening spectacle, and ever
already decomposition is beginning TO set in. -
From these circumstances, itis thought that
the Coroner will be obliged to continue his in
vesiigations during Sabbath day.
