SPIRITUAL ENTHUSIASTICALLY
10 notice posted up in various cor
ners about town, Union Hall was the
receptacle of spirit by the name Of
Judd, whose outer tabernacle was one
rather thin.faced, whiskersd, moustached
nervous individual from town in Mass.,
by the name of Fairfield. After paying
ten cents to the tabernacle who sat OF
the door, we were admitted-took q seat
of which We had our choice, There being
about twenty persons presently. We
looked about to sec who was to be favor.
ed by the spirit aforesaid. Among the
crowd we noticed the Chief Engineer of
arm wri ting, and tho soft-shelled. dish.
water female preacher and promulga,or
Of spiritual manifestations generally
The balance Of the audience was made
up Of men who wanted to see what the
fellow could do or say, aud shrewd young
fellows too wise to get their feet into any
such trap.
Soon the tabernacle commissioned
another honest looking person to receive
the ten cent pieces" to defray expenses
and he took bis seat 10 front of the
"mass Of mind present. The tabernacle
shut his eyes, aud very soon slight
witches Of the hands might be clearly
seen with the "naked eye" Soon the
tabernacle arose and presented itself be.
fore tho assemblage, and the spirit
broke loose and commenced to utter
words loud enough to be heard by all
present. We shall not attempt TO give
the spirits speech entire. but will give
an outline of the summing up of the
whole in few words He said that the
Mosaic dispensation was dispensa.ioD
Of war violence and force, and that no
person could read the history as given
in the bible, without coming to the con.
clusiop that God had nothing to DO with
the transactions of those days. He said
Moses was Spiritual Medium, and was
most certingly far in advance of his age.
That tho next grand era was tho usher.
ing in Of Christh dispensatiop-that
Jesus was also Q medium, and this era
was far in advance of that of Noses
That "Old John" was very excellent
medium, but after all tho present and
and Sd grand era was far 10 advance Of
all former dispensations-t that Jesus had
commissioned mediums that was to fol.
low him TO raise the dead, heal the sick
and do woudsrous things, aud that this
spirit Of Jaderism was prosecuting tho
mediums now as in the days Of Christ
that the dispensation Of Nose. was that
of"War voilence and force" He said
this was q time long to be remsm bsred
on account Of the wonderful Onfolding
that were daily coming to light. That
Moses dispepsation was . dispensation
of " War, violence aud force.n He
said there were great many things be
should like to say, yet the tabernacle
was weary. yet if there were sufficient
nuAber present that would like to hear
what God was, and where he was, what
the devil was and where he was, where
hell and heaven were situated, he would
speak to them at the same place on
Sunday at two O'Clock. The au.
dience manifested their desire to
hear him again by pnanimoasly set.
ting still and saying nothing, and he con.
cluded to speak at his friends house u
at the came hour, which we suppose he
did from certain sounds not unlike an
