SINGULAR AFFAIR--A LOST DAUGHTER Co MES
TO HER MoTnER.-We can only say that our
credulity has been somewhat shaken by peru
sal Of the following spiritual developments,
having conversed with person who was pres
ent at tho manifestation, and is not believer;
STRANGE SPIRITUAL DEVELOPMENTS.
concerning the mysterious Disappearance of
young lady by the name OF Martha NJ. Jeliery,
who left her home in NeS York on the 9th of
April last, to go to her place OF business but
did not reach her destination, and has not been
heard of since. Her famlg.h had searched di
igently for her, and the Nov ork Herald, and
other papers both East and West, North and
SonIh, have been very kind in giving their aid
in searching out her whereabouts. Nothing
definite thus far has been received but some Of
her friends attended spirit circle where there
| were three or four mediums. Neither one Of
them knew anything of the missing girl. After
the spirits began TO rap and the alphabet called
over, one plainly raped out "Martha," and
addressed her mother, (who was present, in
1 the following manner, through personating
medium, who went through all the agonies OF
a horrible death arose to her feet, her eyes
| fixed upon her mother, began to dance in tho
same manner, and even use the same gestures
that the missing girl did when she danced. At
ter the lapse of about five minutes in initiating
her in various ways, she fixed her eyes again
upon her mother, and cried.out inagony, SHOW
do yon know me Is there any one here who
will owninel will you own me 20 and fell on
her knees before her mother, with nplilted
hands, and besought earnest forgiveness of her
mother, who set all the while seemingly para
lyzod, not wishing to let the company know
that she thought it resembled her daughter,
until she cried out "Will you own met" two
or three times: when she said, eyes, j will own
my child" She told her mother she met u
man by the name of Daniel Hays, while she

where she was kept prisoner four days, and
he had tried to gain his purpose, and he finally
, gave her drugged wine, FROM which she never

no person was booking. She said sob, dear

OF her daughter, that il it was really her, tC
t select out her own from the three. She select
, ed out her own, and many other things were
. selected in the same way
She was also requested to give the name Of
a lady with whom she had some business
