Of the power Of one mind over another in
the convincing Illustrations Of that master

desire to try his Influence" and in seven
cases out of ten the "subjects" surrender
the control Of their minds to his order. Ut
is idle to say the subject is in collision with
the operator-on the contrary, it is rather
the wish of the subject ITO beaf' the
operator. We have seen instances, years
ago. as plainly convincing as those now
shown at McGregor, bat Prof STEAnSs is
so quick in effscting the conquest of mind
that his operations seem almost miraculous.
Taking from human being his volition-
rendering his legs and arms useless, taking
away his sight, hearing and memory, and
substituting other and totally different
eyes, ears and thoughts, may seem like
dangerous power for man to profess, but
that it is true there is no doubt. Those
who doubt it we earnestly invite 70 one

DEowsED. The Winona Republican

drowning of SHELDON G. CAREY one or the
Props. Of that paper. Mr.. Carey was but
81 years old, but he had already attained
a position which renders his loss matter
of poignant regret to all who knew him.
1t is written that Mr.. Carey and Miss
harrington, Mr.. Walter w. Williams
(fovmerly Of the Press Of this place. and
a young lady companion, rode on the ice
to Trempeleau. and on their return
Mr.. Carey's team fell into a channel
which, owing to springs, had not frozen
over. Mr.. Carey mistook the bright sheen
of its surface for solid ice. Williams and
party were behind. On noticing the acct
dent, Williams sprang from his sleigh to
assist his friends. BY the time he reached
the gu!f Mr.. Carey, in his efforts to save
his lady companion. had became exhausted
and sank to rise no more. The lady
buoyed up by her clothing, tloated down
the stream and WILLIAMS, the noble fellow
determined to save her: be laid upon his
breast on the tender edge of ice, and grasp.
ed at the form of the almost insensible
girl. The breaking Of the ice forbade
risks that would involve them both in ruin
and il was not till the girl had hoated
sirty- too CARDS that he was able to rescue
her. The other lady screamed an alarm,
while this dreadful scene was before her;
relief came from Tempeleau, and the
survivors Of the party were cared for.
Miss. Harrington will probably recover: the
body Of Mr.. Carey has not yet been found.
We are proud of WILLIAMS, our former
townsmap and brother printer. -
