BEcoMINa MEDIUM The fascinating spiritual
rappings is without a doubt gaining strength
among Us, and some very ludicrous incidents often
grow out of it at times, well more serious and
deplorable ones
few nights SINCE within this week, a young
male friend of ours, who, from sneering skeptic
had become deyout believer, retired to rest, after
having his nervous system partially destroyed with
the Information, through the spirit of his grand
father, that ne would become powerful medium
He was in his fret comfortable snooze when
clicking noise in the direction of the door awoke
him. He Estented intently; the noise was still
going on-yery like the raps of the spirit on the
table, indeed
'Who's there ?''
There was no answer, and the noise stopped.
'fAuybody there 20
ffNo," was the answer.
SIT must have been a spirit he said to himself
sit must be medium. rll try-[ Aloud If
there is spirit in the room it will signify the
by saying 'aye'-no, that's not what mean. If
there is spirit in the room, will it please 10 rap
three times ?''
Three very distinct raps were given in the drec-
ton of the bureau
..ls it the spirit of my sister?'
No answer.
..Is it the spirit of my mother?''-
Three raps.
care you happy?''
Nine raps.
500 you want any thing!'
A succession Of very loud raps.
"Wlll you give communication If / get
up?''
No answer
s'Shall hear from you tomorrow"
Raps very loud again; this time in the direction
of the door He waited long for answer to his
last question, but came. The spirit had gone;
and, after thinking the extraordinary visit he
turned over and fell asleep.
On getting up in the morning he found that the
spirit of his mother had carried off his watch and
purse, his pants down into the hall, and his great
coat off altogether.-Debon AdUerfiser.
