SPIRTrgALdsT LEvEE.-The Spiritualists ded
cated the new and beautiful Congress Hal
last night with appropriate exercises. James
Kurdish, Esq, presided, and in few well cho-
sen remarks gave the. large audience some idea
of the views of the sect, and corrected any er-
roneous impression that any of his hearers may
have entertained in regard to their belief in the
Bible, beautiful copy Of which had been pre-
sented to the Association by Mr.. Asa Hanson
and laid ON the desk.
He was followed BY Mr.. Blanchard, Mr. j.
G. Woodman, and Mrs Nellie Bronson OF
Ohio, in a similar vein and all of whom con-
gratulated the Society upon the beautiful and
appropriate hall it had been their good fortune
to secure for their services, A. A.quartette sang
chant; Misses Carle and King, two charming
young girls, rendered some ballads very pleas
ingly, and Mr.. s. B. Beckett delivered q short
but appropriate poem. .....~- - 10.
AT er the speaking and singing the dancing
took place to the music of Chandlers Band
(Which sounded fnely) and all enjoyed them
selves hugely. The acoustics of thu hall are
capital. tue voice of the speaker being distinct
ly heard In any part of it, and it will no doubt
become great fayorite as music, as well as
