A DEPARTED SPIRIT SENDING FOR

A DEPARTED SPIRIT SENDING FOR Hrs
TEA-KETTLE.-A sceptical investigator
Of spiritualism gives to the Boston Times
the following chapter of his experience
ut a spiritual sitting in Pawtucket, r. L,
4 few days since:
The medium was Mr.. H.. who had
been an auctioneer. A few months pre-
yious previous an incorporate old man
by the name of w., had died. He had
sold his effects, and himself bid off q COP
per tea-kettle for few cents. And now,
on calling for the spirits to respond, the
raps" came, and spelled out the name
Of old MIR. W. He was asked eff he
wished to make any communication p
and the answer was, "Yes." So he pro-
ceeded and spelled out by raps, 81 will
take my tea-kettle!" The tea-kettle was
then simmering on the cook-stove which
stood in the room. And while the as
tonished I" medium" heard it's humming
response" and the message of old Mr..
W., he became horribly frightened, and
1t was long while before be was con-
tent to sit down for the raps again.
However, in the process of time this
shock was partially forgotten, and Mr..
III. g wife persuaded him to sit again for
the sounds" They had no sooner
formed the circle" than this same old
w. announced himself again, and raped
out by the alphabet, d" wlH take NM tea
kettle" This was so perplexing to the
medium that he refused to sit any more
and soon after, the tea-kettle aforesaid
was among the missing, aud do not
know that it has been heard to simmer
since.

pit only on one occasion, and that came near
procuring my Dismissal fsom tho ministry
About one Of the first dscourses ] wns called
t. deliver, subsequent to my ordination, after
reading my text and opening my subject, my
attention was directed to young man with
foppish dress, and head Of exceedingly
red hair. In slip Immediately behind this
young gentleman sat an urebin, who must
have been urge, on in his deviltry by the evil
one himself, for do not conceive the young-
s,er thought Of the jest he was playing off on
the spruce dandy in front of him. The boy
held his fore-6nger in the hair Of the young
man about as long as blacksmith would a
nail-rcd in the heat, and then placed it on
his knee and commenced pounding his finger
on imitation of a smith making nu;. The
whole thing was SO ludicrous that laughed,
the only time that ever disgracsd the pul pi.

Tom Corwin', Wit.

While this capital joker was a member Of
the General Assembly Of the State OF Ohio,
he brought in a bill for the .boltion Of public
punishment, at the whippng-post He made
a speech thereon, to which an elderly mem
ber replied somewhat as follows:
"Mr. Speaker, the gentleman is not as old
as am, and has never seen so much of the
practical operation of the system Of punish
ment which he desires to abolish. When
lived in Connecticut, if a fellow stole horse,
or cut up any other rusties, we used to tie
him right up, and give him real coed thrash
in; and he always cleared right out. and we
never saw no more Of him. It's the best way
of getting rid of rogues that ever was tried
and without expense to the State.'
Corwin rose in reply: "Mr. Speaker, have
been often puzzled to account for the vast
emigration from Connecticut to the West;
but the gentleman last up has explained it to
my entire satisfaction" The bill passed
without further discussion.

Photography in COunterfeitins.


! have Just witnessed some i lustratons Of
the art of Photographic Counterteiiing,w Nv hich
| deem highly important, not only to bank
officers, but to the public at large. MIR. Fon-
tayne, OF this city, one er the best daguer-
reotypsts in the world, has recently made
several Photographic copies OF bank notes,
which far surpass, in the perfection Of their
details, anything which has ever been done
in the old way of counterfsiting. When
these photographs are carefully taken on the
proper bank note paper, they defy detection
either by the unaided eye or by microscopic
inspection.
One of these photographs, from $40 bill
was deposited by hlr. F., with other bills, in
the Life and Trust Company, and was recei-
ved without suspicion. He then informed
them that there yns bad bill among them:
the money was reinspected, and he wss posi-
tiu.ly assured :ha, it was all g"od,and reques-
ted to point out the defective bill; he did SO,
and after a general examination by the otti-
GERS present. the bill was again pronounced
good Another trial was made by present.
ing Photographic copy of bill at the prin-
cpal banking houses. At the banks OF
Smead, Collara g. Hughes, Gregory g. In
gulsbee, and some others, the phstograph
was received, and, after careful inspection,
pronounced a good bill. A still more rigid
t.st was made by presenting photographs &
genuine bills to Mr.. Booth and other bank
note engravers. After the most careful in
spection they were unable to detect the pho
tographc counterfeit, for, as | have observed
the mnutest details are perfect under micro
scopic scrutiny.
| think it is obvious from these facts, that
cur paper money currehcyis in dangerous
condition, and that it is necessary To give
the wildss, publicity to these alarming devel-
opments. If any good master of pho,ogra-
phy, can, in short time, and at trihing
expense, food the country with spurious mo-
ney, which ;even cashiers, presidents anc
experts Of every grade are unable to detect
we have no security in our paper money cur
