(if the truth were only known) there is not such
wonderful difference that you have need TO qos'rei

Speaking Of quares-you remember the coDtro'
e,sy between rs. Press and The Times Of this
town which told you Of Well, IS all over. l
didn't read the arlchs on either side and have never

turn round, pitch into small boy and trouhce Hun
savaaely, 20 old The Times proceed at once 70 Piek
fuss with the inofensive Corant instead OF taking
one of IL .ze This Was the way II happened:
There is lady in this city BY the name OF Mrs.
Mettler. who, as | once before told you, when IN
clairvoyant state has no need 70 ask you what you
had for dinner as you will plainly perceive when
tell you that she lock hight straight INTO o"dys
inwards az easy az if ones clotheA skin, hesh snd
membranes were as transparent as pAte-glsss. Not
only that, but if your dinner shouh have happened
TO disagree with you, Mrs. Mettler knows just what
will set il all right again. She has an extensive
practice both as a eairvoyant and a physician, and
many people, when they lose their spoons, their
purses or their sppetes, post on at once To Mrs.
Mettler to know what has become OF the missing
treasures and to find out the way to recover them.
So wdey-spresd is her fame that, of late, she has
taken her husband into partnership; and whereas
il sometimes happens that sck folks in remote towns
are desrous Of proftiDg by her science aud skill,
and are vet unable to bear the fatigue and exposure
&C Journey 70 Hartford, Mrs Metler has contriyed
an expedient whereby this difficulty is overcome
The angel al the Pool Of Sloan wasn't a circum-
stance to MIS-. Metter, for she don't require that
beiridden people should come to her. Ii man is
Hck and wishes 10 get well, he needn't even send her
statement of bis symptoms All that Is necessary
is to enclose 10 Mrs. Mettler lock OF his hair in
FIVE dollar bill and he is cured, presently. With
these tokens Of affection clasped in her fist, Mrs.
Metter falls asleep and looks into the most hidden
recesses of a mans interior, while he lies twenty
miles away upon sick bed as easily as if she stood
by his elbow.
Mrs. M., of late, had patient, Mrs. Ault,
resident of Berlin. She made several examinations
CT this adys inside, and prescribed for her rehef.
Finally the patient died. and the discOnsolate wid-
over, who had been her husband, with sasscity
like unto bis who shut the stable door after his horse
was stolen concluded he would avail himself Of this
opportunity TO test Mrs. Metters claims to extraOr-
dinary powers of ms ght So he came to Hartford,
and conceang tha fact Of his wlfe's decease, got
Mrs. Mettler to make new prescription, good iOr
live FOLKS only for her dead patient. Then be went
up TO The Courant Office and procured card to be
published, showing how he and Mrs. Mettler had
imposed upon each other. The editor took occasion
to offer few remarks by way of improvement, l
dare say with no idea Of giving Oense TO anybody,
when, unexpectedly, The Times took up the cudgels
for clairyoyants in general and Mrs. Meter in par
tcular cODtendiDg that under proper and truthful
conditions, she was indeed fully able to back up by
due performance, all abe claimed to have power to
do. The Courant replied; The Times rejOined; Mrs.
Mettler published letter; Mr.. Ault published an
other card; DR.. johnson offered a letter to The
Courant for publication and got snubbed. The
Times published it, out Of spite, though 1t hadn't
ANYTHING TO do with the case In hand. just at this
coijuncture Daniel Webster mixed in and settled
the hash, as will be seen by the following paragraph
from The Couram which, by publishing IT, turned,
as It were, The Times own artillery upon Itself.
To quote the whole paragraph viii make my letter
longer than it ought to be, but, as it contains the
Great EIpounder's last exposition think l shall
be psrdOhed. In my opinion, this medium, " x. IL.
Curtis" is a mere myth and fiction Doubtless the
august ghost of Webster itself, I" at late hour
MONDAY night, left the following communication
at The C0,rdat Office steps. This is evidently the
private opinion OF the editor OF The Conraht, as no
one can fail to perceive:
1.-THE following communication was lett at this Office
at late hour Monday night, and lay it before our
readers. There is abundant cause, from this
communication from the spirits for Mrs. Meters not
being able to distinguish between the hrng and the
dead. II 10 row Clear even TO her spiritual friends,
that there was a cause for her failure:
"MR. RDToR At q sitting of circle Of Spruslists thi.
evening tho spirit OF Daniel Webster said that Ma Meer
would longer doctor with the se spirits the
tab from her that the tps had given II for the
accumulation Of wealth. and that those who employ her after
hi. DO i At hey 1.rd It e ,0me & ne months since tne
be stated that the would be taken

t, Imeant to have told you about some other funny
things which have taken place here lately, but /
have already gone beyond my limits for this time.
