hours When the interview was flushed, q,
Lord Derby drove in haste to the resi-

Judge EImouds AMI DR.. Dexter have
just perpetrated nno,hor volume on

lowing account OF phenomena occurring in
the case Of Miss LAURA EImonds, (nis
daughter a recently developed ''lnedi-
um:
AT first she was violently agita,ed in
her person. She soon wrote mechanically:
tha, is, wi,hou, any volition on her part,
and without any unciousness of what
she was penn ng. Having a strong will,
she was able at any moment, by exercis.
ing il. to arrest the manifestation. She
next became a speaking medium. She
was not entranced as some are, into a
state of unconcousness, tu, was fully
aware Of all she vas saying, and all tia,
occurred around her. She, however. had
not advanced far enough to know the
source whence came the thoughts which
she was ul,erlng, and she imagined that
they might be the product of her own
mind To convince her upon that subject.
she was shown, through the instrumen
tality OF her own mind, all the particulars
OF the wreck of,he steamer San Francisco
that her upper deck had been swep, off
and certain number had thus perished !;
that the residue Of those on board had
been taken off in three vessels, and were
then on their way in different directions
for different ports, and tia, the steamers
had been abandoned on the sea. All this
was several days before any news had
reached the land, of the accident to the
vessel. and she was told to wait and see
If the information which had been given
her, and which was much more detailed
than | have written, was not strictly
accurate, and then determine for herself
whether il was her own mind. A few days
brought minute confirmation Of every
incidentwhich had been disclosed TO her.
Since then this faculty Of knowing
things at distance has greatly improved
She saw the wreck OF the Arctic when il
was occurring. She saw and detailed
with great accuracy, as subsequent; &C.
counts showed. the recen, collision on the
Canada Railroad, and tina, few moments
after it happened, and while the dead and
wounded were being lifted on, OF the
ruins. She has seen and described the
state o! things at Sehastopol and its vicini.
