Tnr MN AND WoNEN AT THE NOyERcouIse

THE MN AND WOMEN AT THE EE0yERcoNING
CoNvEsTloS. The Troy zfuaes thus delineates
the reformcrs who attempted to overcome evil
with good, at the late Convention at Utica:
The platform - as in the main occupied by the
same hirsute luminaries who shone so brilliantly
| at Rutland, with a few new ones and greater
proportion of ladies. Hitchcock, the President,
was the founder of Fourier at the West which
1tHumaxed" and left him some three thousand
dollars out of pocket-rather unusual; Wright
was once leading Presbyterian clergyman Of
Boston, but now is one of the noisiest and most
rabid of infdels; ,Anerew jackson Davis was
once shoemaker at Poughkeepsie, as every
body knows and though they say he was poor
artisan, he would, If his work was measured by
the standard of accomplishment, have made
more by cudgeling his lapstone than his brains.
Halleck, formerly grocery keeper in Etica, has
of late years been an itinerating Psychologist
and spiritualist; Chase, who proclaimed himself
bastard, was laborer of some kind iii Bos-
ton, progreSsedttO the rank of respectable edi-
tor, and relapsed into tho conductorship, of a
one-horse spiritual sheet in Ohio; Randolph is
a colored man from Syracuse, who presents an
anomaly by upholding slavery and denouncing
obottlonists; Julia Branch, the free lover of the
concern, is connected with Ed. Underhill'S uni
tary establishment in New York; Mary F. Da.
! Wis, a pasSable-looking woman, is the head and
brains of the Andrew jackson Davis house
hold Mrs. Brett is female athlete from ST.
Louis, whose ponderous style of swinging her
sentences must have been derived from constant
practice with good smoothing irons Foster,
Pillsbury, Plumb, Newton and others, almost
every reader knows by reputation.
| There was, asinfthe previous gathering, a
great eruption of yellow whiskers The wo.
men were, with two exceptions, decidedly home

were all brazen-faced, bold and disagreeable in

says, the only thing out of order was a blush. /"
\ Personal observation convinces us that reform
ers have n decided affinity for dirty shirts, orat
least are negative to washerwomen. The gem
eral acquaintance of the class with BARRIERS is
evidently very slight, as the untrammecd and
very prolific facial hirsute growth abhndantly
demonstrates. Indeed, the harmonial whiskers
have evidently been developed, upon a very
high plane. Speaking of harmonials, reminds
us that harmony existed at the Convention only
as pleasant myth, OF MS trance Medium eX-
pressed it '3within the inner SOUL" Everything
without was dlscord and confusion, and a less
attable and courteous set of people than these
self same reformersit would bevery hard to
meet.
"A gathering somewhat similar to the .,Cause.
and Cure-ofEvil" Convention which has, just
closed in Utica, isannounced under the !designa-
ton of ''Three Days Grove Meeting,2@ To- to come
off at Magnetic Springs Kantone, Chautauque
county, N. T., for the discussion of the follow
ing subjects:
1. The great wants of the Present Age; Q.
The need Of a greater degree of Freedom; 8.
The Purposes and the Plans of the Spirit World;
4. a Divine Commerce.; 8. The Homes of the
Future; g.. Regeneration and Generation; 3. The
Culture of the Soil
The managers of this convention say these
subjects were given by their spirit friends, and
that they have been promised able documents
from tho spirit world upon each of them. y
Spirits insthe fiesh'' from Boston, New York,
Cleveland Chicago, and other localities, are also
expected to contribute.
