FTOIu tnt BOstOn GOS Ratt.ing Among the Dry Bones.

Some time since the Sprituali5ts of New York were gravey discussing the question whether the spirit of man whose dead body was dissected by medical students in Hartford Con-, was picking himself up pecemal and taking his bones, one by one to New York to be properly put together again. The weekly spiritual conferences made the matter subject of serious inquiry, and the Spiritual Telegraph keeps it's readers posted up on tho progress of the affair The story is related, substantially, as folows:-
 "When Dr. Redman, the partner of Dr. Or ton, in Twelfth street, New York, was me- dical student, body was to be dssected upon certain occasion; and the students agreed with themselves to draw lots to determine which one should have the bones Dr. Redman was already medium, and before the dissection took place the spirit communicated with him. and expressed the wish that his bones might fall into Redman's possession. The doctor replied that since possession was to be determined by lot he might not get them. Draw first repli- ed the spirit, and 1 will make you draw the prze.' Acting upon this hint, the lucky Red man drew first and took the bones He con- veyed them to Hartford, where he subsequent ly left part of them, removing the rest to his office in New York. Having related to his partner the singular history of the skeleton. Dr. Orton requested him to bring the remainder of 1t to his office; whereupon the goSt who once owned and occupied the dilapidated and abused tenement set up loud knocking, and claimed the right, which no reasonable man could deny him, of having word to say about the dsposi- ton of his bones. He expressed q willingness that they should be taken 10 New York: it made no especial difference to him whether the oSsli1ed portion of hls frame was in one place another; still, it was natural he should feel Gome pride in the matter and he expressed the determination of bringing the bones from Hart ford to New York himself"
 This extraordinary determination which, says the New Nork Post, has no parallel in ghostol- ogy, was immediately acted upon, and the transportation commenced
 1.-The very next day after itwas announced, a bone dropped on the sidewalk, in front of the two doctors, near their house; aud since that time bone after bone has been moved, some- times dropping from the ceiling and sometimes upon the walk, On the 26th day of May the ghost did an unusual days work. As the doc tors were crossing Broadway near Thirteenth street. at 3 o'clock, P. M., a bone dropped at their feet, and at o'clock the same afternoon another encountered them in Fourteenth street. both being portions of the spinal column. The ghost, whose body thus cut up and moved, does not, however, claim the exclusive credit of the removal. With the fairness which we trust will ever characterize his transactions he acknowledges with gratitude the assistance o other ghosts, who have kindly consented tc help do the job; but what compensation ht ! gives for their srvice is not stated. The ghos, commenced, picking himself up sometime in the spring. Whether he is yet done is not stated but the Telegraph brings additional testimony in the shape of an anonymous statement, Gre garded as conclusive by many spirtualists,) thu substance of which is contained in the following paragrph:-
 l "On the Sd oflast June Dr. Redman held { seance at house where was visiting. Wher the circle was over accompanied him dowr stairs; on our way down, my spectacle case which had been missing during part of th' evening, was thrown over my shoulder. Ht
