A VERY pleasant FsiruRs IN SpiRIruALIsM
In the number Of the Spiritual Telegraph of Oct.
30th, we have a narration in which, at Spirit
ual meeting, the Esprit of a deceased wife
came to her form,r husband. and seating her
s,f in his lap threw her arms around his neck
and slluted him with kiss, ohoss .taror oas
identical in r.Lsh 10Th those ,oth ohiOh she had
favored him during her natural lfe." A little
examination into the affair, however showed
that the l0ife did not herself personally appear,
but that her spirit g took possession Of lazy
medium and Influenced her to SIT in his lap and
give him the carsss," Very pleasant, certainly,
especially if the lady medium was a
blooming lass of sixteen
LYING AND STEALING.-We dislike to lay 80
grave charge to the door OF our Reverend
neighbor of the Repository as the small cap
heading of this article indie ties, but we have
noticed for several weeks the little thefts from
our columns, made by that paper. Last week
which adds a fasehood to the theft. 1t is this !:
BETHEL Town FAIR.-One of the most spirit
ed and successful town Fairs ever held came off
on the llth. We have full report of 1t, to-
gather with the able and highly creditable ad-
dress of Hon. A. p. Hunton on the occasion ;
lat the press Of other matter will prevent pub
licltion at this time. The address we shall be
pleased to give at future day, if desirable.-
We await Instructions
Now besides stating that from the Freeman,
we have good reasons for knowing that the Re-
pository has not full report of the Fair, nor
Mr. Hunton's address, which looks like a hard
story for "A Reverend.
The Vermons Bible Society held it's anniversa-
r; on the 2Oth at Montpelier. Mr.. L. IL. Del
ano was again elected President, and w. IL.
Lord, corresponding Secretary From the re-
port of the Treasurer we learn that the receipts
of the society fall trife short of $4,000, which
is $4,000 less than last year. The Directors re,
port that no special efforts had been made tc
supply destitute portions of the State on ac-
count of the general supply. The Rev. A
Royce has been employed us agent in the col,
lection of funds in those portions of the State
not often freqaented by agents, and the least
promising for present results. This fact will
account in part for the diminished receipts O
the year. The Rev. Nehemiah Adams of Bos
ton, delivered very appropriate discourse from
Al h. IL,
the people, and the christian ministry helpers
to each other. The exercises were exceedingly
interesting throughout. The sum of $4,000 wal
donated to the Parent Society. Rev. JOS rl
Steele of Middlobury, was appointed agent
and $500 copies of the Annual Report ordered
to be printed.
The REPUBLICAN MAJORITY IN OHIo.-Th
Cincinnati Gnaette estimates the Republican
majority in Ohio at $4,000 Last year tn
sham Democracy carried both branches of tn
legislature, and Governor Chase came within
about 1000 votes of being defeated. The Pat
riot says, " This result is rather encouraging
than otherwise We think so too.
During one week there was shipped from St

$50, and 1873 pounds of butter worth 500,

farmers.
DEclDED.-The editor of the Burlington Sen
tinel, last winter, sued the Free Press men 70
libel, because of certain statements containe
in the latter paper. The csse came up on dc
murer the defendent pleading justification, an
the decision of the Court Was for the defer
dant.
In our adyices from Russia we have the graz
flying intelligence that the plan of the Gar lt
emancipating the sixty millions of serfs in tina
country is proving successful beyond the mos
sansuna antcipations. Cannot America emar
cpate four millions of slaves as we'll as Russi
emlncipate sixty millions of equally ignorau
and degraded serfs?
