The salary of Mr.. Moran. the Presdent

A Sniritual Marriage.

The Convention of Spiritualists, at Ply
mouth, Mass, has adjourned. ltwas not
largely attended except by the Boston
Sprituslists. Various curious features
were presented, among them the solemn
izatlon of a spiritual marriage, which is
thus described in the report of the Her
aid:
The Dcxt matter in order was the SOL
emnizaton of marriage between Mr.. Ma
than c. Lewis and Mrs. Eunice a. Bah
bit, Of Boston. The lady was dressed in
loose flowing robes of white, deeply trim
med 10 blue, and wore blue satin shoes.
Two little girls, daughters by former
marriage, were dressed in exactly the
same style, aud followed her to the plat
form. The bridegroom placed himself
beside her. He is physician. Both
have been married before. and are each
about thirty five years of age.
Mr. Loveland, who was formerly .
Methodist though he does not now ap-
preciate the title OF reverend" address
ing the congregation, said
Although spiritualists in general do
not accept but are opposed to, the regula-
,ious that exist legally iu regard to the
subiugation of woman in the marriage
relations, still they do generally, if not
universally, admit the propriety of ma
king public acknowledgement of their
relations.
Then, turning to the interested parties,
be said:
My brother and sister, I ask you to
make no promise, l impose upon you DO

them in this form
"And now, on behalf Of this audince

This was the whole ceremony. Th,

Terre Haute road they bad to cut ditch
