A NEW FEATURE IN SPIRITUALIsM.-4 Telegraph
Line to the Spirit World-The Spiritual Age of last
week quotes the following " illustration of spiritual
intercourse" from letter from e. G. Fuller, ESQ.
who resides at Cold Water, Michigan. The Age
thinks that such telegraphic dispatches have the
effect to dispatch the doubters and to produce great
mortality among the skeptics - 4
We have lately had-to me-a new phase of spir
itual rapping A Mr. Campbell, an experienced and
circle at the house Of our friend, Mr.. Bates in this
village. He was profound sceptc, and went there
out Of curiosity. After seating himself at the table
to use his own language sat quietly few mo-
ments, listening to the sounds with smile of con.
tempt, thinking. what fools men would make of them
selves, when suddenly was startled by Geographic
signal. read the sounds the table the same as I
am in the habit Of reading the click of the instru-
ment when in Geographic office. The first signals
were News from New York 7 loudly and distinctly
repeated several times until after partially recovering
from my Amusement, answered the call in imitation
Of telegraphic answer to such call in telegraph
office. : I'll
Immediately there came lengthy communication,
with as much rapdty and accuracy as the most rapid
operator can send one the wires. 1t purported
TO be from deceased friend, who in his life was an
operator in new Office. This communication an
swered and received several others in the same way
during the evening. During this time no one in the
room, except myself knew what was going on. They
supposed me to be playing with the spirits until told
them what the communications were"
These facts got from Mr. Campbell's own lips and
here relate them in his own words as near as can
recoect them. He says that since that time he has
held almost daily intercourse with the same spirit,
and has received such tests Us preclude the possibility
Of his disbelieving that the Communications came
from disembodied spirit.
SINGULAR EFFscTs OF ELEcTRICITY-A singular
occurrence took place. short time SINCE the loco
motive works, illustrating the powerful effects of
electricity locomotive was being moved from the
7
the middle Of the street, when suddenly all hands
dropped the bars with which they were moving the
! machine and fell back in amazement. Resumng
them at the order Of the man in charge, they applied
them again to the wheels, and again fell back para
yzed the moment they touched the iron The director
Of the job caught up one Of the bars and making
savage thrust planted it under wheel preparatory
4 to giving huge lift, No sooner had it touched,
however than he saw it fall from his grasp to the
ground, as it had done in every case before. Such
singular occurrences excited attention, and exam
nation was made as to the cause, when it was found
that the locomotive, in passing under the telegraph
line, had come in contact with broken wire that hung
sufficiently low to reach 1t. The whole mass of iron
composing the locomotive had thus become charged
with electricity, which had communicated itself to
the bars that the men held in their hands, and caused
| the effect above described. The wire was removed
and the difficulty obyiated in a moment.
