MEETING FOR SPIRITUAL INvEsTIGA-

on The SUBJECT 0f Suicide. large NUM-
Der Of invited persons last evening met
at the residence of Mr.. Taylor. in Clin-
ton Avenue, Brooklyn, to hear Mrs.
Hatch. who gave what purported to be
Tie answers OF spirits to questions pro-
pounded by the audience. Horace Gree
ly, Rev. Mr.. Longfellow and DR.. Bud
dington asked all the questions, with
one or two exceptions.
DR.. Hatch, after his wife passed into
the trance state, suggested that the three
persons named PROFOUND the questions,
to which Mrs. Hatch, or the spirits. re-
piled in more democratic spirit: 1--WE
would respectfully suggest that any per-
son present wishing to ask question,
have full and entire liberty to do So"
Mr.. Greely inquired if the soul enters
necessarily upon a higher existence by
passing into the spirit world! Answer
Yes, with some notifications.
Then does the suicide better his con-
dition! Answer, in substance: While
the suicide seems to be the arblter Of his
own destiay, to US he appears not to be
so; it seems to Us that he was destined to
commit suicide. 1t does not therefore
follow that you (Grcely) will commit
suicide; it appears to us that such is not
your destiny. Does the criminal who,
BY his own misdeeds, has justly brought
upon himself the sentence OF death, by
comnitting suicide, escape the penalty
Of his crime: Answer, in substances: Ho
escapes the publicity of the gallows-
the scotys Of the crowd-the ignominy Of
the hlltcr Bat he cannot escape the
penalty Of his crimes, for he cannot es.

finds that lie Is still himself; he is still

Young: We believe that for those VINO

is one anecdoto which he tells Of Gen.
Jackson, which is so characteristic Of the
old hero that it is worth prcsery-
ing.
The President relates that one day,
during the administration of old Hick-
ory, he went to the White House to
ask permission to present to him the
celebrated Miss Betsy Cation. Cen
Jackson readily assented, and named the
next day for the interview. At the APP
pointed hour Mr.. Buchanan repaired
with his fair charge to the Presidential
mansion, and leaving the lady in one Of
the drawing rooms he mounted to the
private cabinet of the President. To
his great surprise and disappointment,
he found the General buried in his books
and papers, and attired in a plain morn
/ ing dress. his chin unshaycd and his ia
yoritc pipe in his mouth The Sen&
tor from Pennsylvania was gricvously
embarrassed. He was apprehensive that
il he announced Miss Caton's presence,
the gallant veteran would descend all in
negage as be was.
Mr.. Buchanan did not like to expose
the renowned belle to such a shock as
that, and, on the other hand he equally

that said roads will be Of immense advantage

Unfortunately, such has not been the case
