exposed lately:
Among other miracles, that most dwell upon was
the exhibit on Of the spirit hand which these Dav-
export boys had the faculty to show rising above The
table and which many Of the faithful had seen ana
would swear to. Accordingly, time was appointed
for the faithful and few skeptcs TO witness this NAM
fettation. They assembled, the boys occupying ono
spectators were placed at the opposite side, or at
suitable distance from the mediums. The hands OF the
boys being tied to the chairs, aud all being satisfied
that there was TO confederate under the table, the gas
was now TUNED down to leave only sufficient light
10 discern the SPIRIT hdHdf when il should appear, ana
all present were required TO keep their places, and on
| no account to approach the mediums. After wait
| inc few MON, ms a hand was TO ascend slowly
| from beneath that side If the table where the boys
were widely opened, with the palm toward the spee-
tators and then slowly Withdrawn under the table,
All could see by the dim light, and the sect were IN
ecsacies. skeptic who was present, concealing hs

manifestation, which being done, be quickly leaped To
the end of the table, clutchng the SPIRIT before
il had time to descend and the gas being turned NJ
