us that many of his friends have pestered him for early
information of the Heenan-Ssyers fight, suggesting
that Mr.. William Harrington might be INDUCED TO
communicate the result by of the Spiritual tel
egraph, celestial or otherwise. The medium waited
patiently and, at last Thursday, communication
came. He says:
"The purport Of my communication is that the hight
has been concluded that Heepan is defeated aod that
his recovery from the injuries received, Is cOhslueTeu
! very doubtful"

| Heenan's defeat; and that, suppOsing him TO have
been beaten would be pere;y safe to cay that his
life is in danger, even if ne RECEIVERS sfterward.
