A spiritual sensation in New Yorl.

In the BPfitsGsayA:--------,9u York
there is getting to be quit an excite
ment over new Medium d a somewhat
extraordinary character. No one knows
where the modern enchsntress comes from
or how she acquired her art. Bnt all de-
vout belieyers say you msyi take lock
Of any ones hair and lay it on her magic
table, and forthwith the diviner Of future
events proceeds to give detailed history
Of the life Of the person from whose head
the hair in question was Topped, and to
mark out their future career. She had al
most reached the zenith of her mysterious
fame when young lady, who was about
to be married, took lock Of silken hair
and laid it on the enohsnted slab Of mar
BILE. Instantly the prophecies commenced
to give details Of the life Of some young
girl who she said had long since passed
away. The young lady protested that it
was The hair of her intended husband; but
the seer persisted in her story, and inti-
mated that the young man wore a wig
The fair inquirer departed in high dud-
geon, but resolved to put the matter to
test the same evening. So when her ad-
mirer arrived she sccidently gave his hair
q delicate little pull, Whereon all the silk
en- ourls came off bodily, leaving the
/ Young mans head perfectly bare. Disa-
greesble ss the discovery may have been, 1t
served tc establish the fame Of the won
derful Medium, who reigns supreme over
a whole roomful Of CLOCKS" and is the
great sensation of the day among all the
/ lovers Of spiritual msrvels.

encampsd the day before They re-
manned about one mile back of HAYES
vile until towards night, when they left,
a. is reported, for the Green River couu-

$500 worth of goods from the store of
Mr.. Rial, a Union man. They also
helped themselves to some boots and
shoes from one or two small establish
nents owned by loyal Germans. They
also robbed John Richie, q coal miner,
of some $3.50 in gold and silver, after
ward returning some $40 of it to Mr..
Ritehie. They took all the arms they
could find, being themselves rather short
