WONDERFUL NARRATIVE!
STRANGE DEVELOPMENTS is sPIRITuALIsMI
THE DEAD RISING FROM THE
GRAVE!

We find the following strange story
in the Urbana (Ill.) Union, credited to
The Crown Point Register, Lake
County, Ind. The latter paper says:
1--WE have received the following
letter from DIR. John Morton, gentle.
man of veracity and high professional
standing, formerly from Cleveland,
Ohio, and an old schoolmate of ours
We think its perusal will convince our
readers of the entire truth of all that is
said about modern spiritualism."

following account of most exlraordi.
nary event or transaciion-or what YOU
will-because in my opinion, it ought
not to be suppressed; but, on the con
trary, thoroughly investigated. In the
midst of the excitement here, such a
thing as calm and unbiased examination
IS altogether out OF the question; nor

as the determination of the people is
strongly to "hush up. !" AS l myself
am one OF the chief characters con.
cerned in the affair, dare not attempt
if possessed the ability, to determine
the character of what am about to re.
