The Spiritualists at the Magnetic
Springs.

In pursuance of notices published il
newspapers and handbills q Grove Meeting
of Spiritualists was convened at the Mag
netic Springsin Kiantone, Chautauque Co
n. Y. on Friday last and continued til
/ Sunday evening. On the last day there
were between 20O0 and 5000 persons or
the ground; of this number probably not
over one.tenth part were believers in Spir,
! Iitualism. On Sunday afternoon we wit,
messed some scenes which were disgracefu
to the age in which we live. A poor Graz,
woman had forced herself upon the from
of the stand erected for the speakers, and
commenced an incohetnt speech, without
sense and without intelligence. At this
the mob hOoted and yelled in demoniaC
glee-the lunatic was pulled from the
stand ard rudcly and ohscenely treated
and at last she was carried around the
camp-ground and into building, followed
by a crowd Of fools, to say the least oI
them. The only speech which had a par
ticle Of reason of sense in it, was made by
MRs, BRITT, of st, Louis. Her voice was
excellent, and her gestures unexceptiona,

The Magnetic Springs" are situated
near the State Line between Pennsylvania
and New York in Kiantone; II miles
from Warren Pa, ard 10 miles from
jamestown n. Y. The principal Spring
has its outlet within few feet of the State
line, its fountain-head being l3l feet and
three inches within the hill into Pennsyl-
vania. This tunnel was dug under the adj
vice and directions of Spirits" and the
lahorers were told that treasure existed
within the hill at this precise point. Af.
ter digging the distance above named, q
vein of water was struck, and the tun-
mel filled, and where was the treasure? ?
The water itself is strongly impregnated
with iron, sulphur, etc, and Spiritualists
inform US that its health-giving and health
restoring qualities are past comprehension
by the unconverted. We have no doubt
of it.
We learned, by the last speaker at the
Grove Meeting a Mr.. STERLING, Of Cleve-
land, that it is the intention of the Spirit
ualists to erect large college at the
Springs-similar to Oberlin College, Ohio,
We were permitted to examine model
of the "Temple" which is to be erected at
that place. The style of architecture is
decidedly Spiritual" and it is expected
that the city which is to be built there,
will be in the same STYLE Warren Ledger.

The guests were assembled, the minister

He was pursued, caught and brought back

held fast to him. The fourth effort of the

a young grocer of good character and
correct habits commenced business in a
good and improved neighborhood. His
stock was small as were his means, and

he would be at the bottom,

this opinion of the old grocer, as will ap.

won the heart of the former. He offered
himself to her and was rejected. IL was

was the man of her choice, he set himself
about removing the only obstacle in the
way of their union, the fathers objection

say that these bounties are national encouragement
TO mere local interests. Louisiana should have
how she talks. The protection TO sugar which bene
