SpIRITUALlsM RENoUNcED.-Qute commo-
ton was recently excited among the Spiritual
lists of Plymouth, Mass, by the announcement
of Miss Lizzie Doten, the principal medium of
that place, that she could not conscientiously
speak to them again as a medium. She said
that
''She feared she had been laboring under a
deluson, and as she considered herself RESPONSE
Bile to God for what her lips uttered, and for
the influence which her words exerted upon
those who heard her, she was unwilling to be
; made the medium of any other spirit than her
own. If, said she, the angel Gabriel should
stand by my side, and ask me to deliver mess
,, age to you from him, should reply, Gabrie
speak for yourself. Hereafter shall only adj
dress you in my own natural and conscious
; state.
