ANOTHER MIRACLE 1t is recounted that
deaf and dumb lad of 16, native of St.
Briac. near Oman in Brittany, has seen the
Virgin, who appeared to him blazing in beau
ty and surrounded by stars. The celestial
visitor opened the conversation by asking his
age, to which inquiry he replied, Il don't
know" She then told him, and proceeded
to recount the whole history of his life,
and variety of other circumstances within
his knowledge; she concluded by saying,
thereafter you shall speak like any person !;
meet me again tomorrow night, and | will
tell you some wonderful things" The boy
came faithful to the trust, and the Virgin
then pointed out to him three mysterious let
tiers in the tail of the comet, and explained
that they symbolized prophesies Of events to
come. lie is not, however, at liberty to make
known the things that were told him until
the expiration of a ysar from the date of the
vision. The boy now speaks and hears per-
iectly well. Such is the story, which accord.
ing to the Union Malouine ct Dinnannise, the
natives of the village of st. Briac are ready
to prove upon the hide of any scepuc.

what he claims to be the impositions of those who
claim any material manifestations from spirit
ual source, to a crowded audience. The rap

and the test by ballot entirely successful, and
the playing upon an instrument was performed,
both in the dark and in broad daylight, under all
the precautions usually adopted, yet it was done,
as seen by the audience, by DR.. BY himself, and
not by spirits. This evening he will lecture
again, when further developments will be made of
the mode by which other things are done, as he
afirms by the mediums themselves, and claimed
to be by spiritual agency, such as the reading
and answering Of sealed letters, &c. The price
Of admission is ten cents.
