a PROPosIFION TO THE ''SFIRITs."-The 'Spi-
ritual Telegraph" of New York city, tells most
remarkable story. 1t declares that not long ago
piece Of ribbon Tysterously appeared in a spirit
ua circle in New YORK. The Spirits" said the
ribbon had been brought from circle in England,
within the space of an hour. Soon after this ''mi-
racle" the pen knife of Ore of the mediums in the
American circle disappeared mysteriously. The
"spirits" said they had taken it to the English cir
Gle.
1t happened that the medium visited England
and there he found his knife. The members of a
circle said it had been brought from America by
the spirits an2 they said, also, piece of ribbon
had been sent from them to America.
Now, if spirits can convey knives and ribbons
across the ocean, why can't they bring US foreign
news: For all the war news, or other news of i'm
portance ahead of the telegraph, they may furnish
US, exclusively we Will pay at the rate SIO0 per
colum, whenever 1t is verified by later arrivals,
cording to established custom. Here Is a chance

DIsINFECTISG OF PUTRID, NoXIoUs CASES
The following seasonable article is from the New
York Courier and Enquirer, furnished by f. Mer-
iam aDd will be found very efcacious for the pur-
possesses pecified:
% simple, cheap, and easy way Of disnfecting,
putrd, nOxious, fetid and mephtic gases. and puI-
trid animal matter, NAV be accomplished by the
free use of soda-ash and quicklime. Dissolve
twenty-five pounds of soda-ash in five buckets of
boiling hot water, and while hot slake twenty five
pounds Of quicklime, and as soon as slaked (which,
if the lime is good, will not exceed five minutes.
mix the freshslaked lime while hot with the sOlu-
ton of the sodaash, stirring it throughly for FIVE
minutes, by which time the lime will have taken up
the carbonic-acid of the soda-ash then pour the
hot mixture into the prlvyvault. and !, will in few
hours convert the impure and fetid gases into am
monia, entirely divest the premises of any unpea-
SAINT efinvia and render the atmospe her perfectly
salubriousand healthy.
Sodaasb of eighty per cent. free of alkali, is SOL
at the sOap-bOuses at three dollars per hundred
pounds, and quick lime can be bought by the bar

Such Is the process, and such the result in this
case.
In large vaults greater quantity than twenty
five pounds is required the quantity should be In
creased in proportion to the size of the vault.
The use Of one hundred pounds of soda-ash pei
annum, in a vault prepared and used directed
above, will prevent accumulation, and render the
services of scavenger unnecessary.

DETECTION OF THE VIOLATIONS OF THE ScoTcH
CHuRcH.-We learn that the persons who commit
ted the sacriligeous outrage upon the Scotch
Church, about the last of June, have been discover
ed. On Wednesday young mau named Flank
Murray, who goes by the cogDomen OF "Buffilo,"
was seen in conversation through window, with a
person confined in the Jail. Something was said be.
tween them relative to the Scotch Church. The jaor
ovefhearing the remark, had his suspicious excited
and deputy sheriff passing at the time, Murray
after short race, was taken into custody Once Ia
jail, he confessed to the offence, duplicating three
others, one OF whom, named John Lane, Is now also
in Jail; another, Daniel easier, was believed to be
in Cleveland yesterday, but is by this time proba
bly, Ia charge Of officer Sparkling: and third was
killed by a fall from the scaolding of unfinished
church In this city, few days after the crime was
committed. We learn from Major Terry the acting
Public Prosecutor, from whom the facts above
mentioned gathered, that the confession of MUIR
ray, which Is quite full and explicit, conclusivey
{ hows that the outrage upon the church was COM
mitted In spirit of mere wantoness aud mischief
Inc offender positively denies that he and mis- &C.
comphces were melted to the act BY any other per-
son or persons whatever. Mr.. Terry has entire
faith in this assertion, the truth OF which seems TO
be corroborated BY all the details and circumstances
OF the confession. The offenders in this case were
all young men, between sixteen and twenty wears
Of age. One OF them, who met an awful death 30
soon after his crime Is Of coarse beyond the reach
Of human laws; but the others will have fall Justice
done them.-Dffrot Inquirer.
