Z EXTRAORDINARY SPIRIT AT
FAIRS IN PARIS.

Mr.. Hume, the all-hearing, al-seeing
sflrit-rapper, has left Paris suddenly with
out warning. few nights ago grand
Sednce had been prepared for him at the
house of one of the principal officials
about the Court, who had witnessed the
divers experiments made at the TuiIleries,
and which, although failing TO convince
him entirely, had not yet left him wholly
lncredulous. The company was limited,
and of the first water. The names had
all been submitted TO the practitioner
those OF Eugene Guinot, General Bara-
quay d'Hllliers, and Nadaud The compo-
ser; all of them atrocious unbelevers, and
wholly devoid of all sensibility or imagi-
nation.
Numerous were the experiments tried,
and all, as usual, eminently successful
The ACCORDION glided as usual from knee
20 knee, all around the circle and played
the tunes most loved by the inquirers; the
bell wandered around the ceiling, and rang
its merry peal or told its dolefaI note, ac-
cording 10 the will of any member Of the
company who chose to command it. But
the wizard had promised that night to
evoke the spirits and render them visible
to the sight; and every preliminary exper-
iment was attended to with impatience, so
great was the hurry TO witness the crown
ing masterpiece Of the performance. At
length the lights were all extinguished but
one, a solitary waX-taper on the mantel
piece, which cast lis long gigantic shadows
on the walls and ceiling Of the room.
The silence was complete; some of the
ladies crouched behind their neighbors,
and resisted the temptation to faint only by
reason of their curiosity; others started
around, hoping, yet dreading, to see some
thing awful and terrific, that they would
be driven TO Mysteries. The voice of the
wizard was heard, amid the silence, Ge-
manding whose spirit should be summoned
to appear. A faint whisper, from a dis
tant corner, thrilled through the room
"Let it be Socrates, the greatest Of philos-
ophers!" A pause ensued-ho objection
or opposition being manifested, the wizard
raised his arm, and waving it toward the
door solemnly bade the spirit Of Socrates
appear and stand befor him.
Again silence was resumed, and the
wizard remained, with extended arm and
muttering lips. gazing toward the door. Ii
slowly opened; and, amid the utmost ter
ror, the company beheld the entrance of
figure enveloped in a kind of d:apery,
something like winding sheet, which ad-
yanced with noiseless tread over the car.
pet, and stood before the conjurer. The
white and flowing beard, the bald head,
and crushed nose were unmistakeable.-
Socrates stood, as in life, in the very midst
of that gay and frivolous circle. evoked
| from his slumber of centuries TO furnish
| sport to a Partisan salon!
The awe and terror of the company
was at its highest, and the figure glided
back in silence while yet the effect produ-
ced was at its eliminating point. When
it had disappeared, compliments of course,
poured in upon the operator, who, shaken
to the very finger ends, could not help ex.

HORRIBLE CASE

In North Carolina.-Tbe Cb.rlo,,s
North Carolina, Democrat, of the 18th
inst. gives the particulars of horrible
affair, which has just been brought TO l;ob,
IN the neighboring village of Concord, in
Meckienburg county. 1t says:
II qnack doctor, known by the name of
Nugent, applied to a man 10 assist him in
taking up child tha. had been buried
few days before. The man made the re-
quest known. and intimated that two little
glrls' daughters of very respectable gen.
leman residing in the vicinity, had been
removed from their graves by this man
Nugent, for the purpose of extracting me-
dlclnal properties from theirfesh and bones.
10 ascertain the truth of the rumor, the
father had the graves reopened, and found
the coffins and bodies missing. Ofcourse
this created deep sensation, and we are
informed that it was determined to infict
summary punishment upon Nugen,; but
on visiting his house he was found yerv
sick and in dying condition. One repor,
says that he took poison, after learning that
his operations were known to the public
and another, that he died from disease
contracted from frequent handling of de-
| composed bodies.
Nugent. died on Wednesday last. He
made statement before death that he had
exhumed about sixteen dead bodies in
Concord and elsewhere, and after using
them (for making medicine) he burned the
1esh' coffins and everything, to preven.
detection. His ash pile was examined
and teeth and bones found therein.
His theory appears to have been that
medicine could be made by boiling the
liver of a human being that would cure
liver complaint; and SO with regard TO 9TH
er diseases. We learn that Nugent was
from Forsythe county, and had been liv-
ing in Concord about two years. He once
lived In this town, we are informed, enga-
ged in selling peppermint and cinnamon
drops. Before he died he gave the names
of three or four of his accompIices, one of
whom, white man named Bogus, was ar
rested in this place last week and commit
ted to Jail.
What the fellow did with the medicine
ne was making no one knows. He has
agencies in Salisbury and Goldsboro',
where one or more of his accomplices re-
side.
