An English gentleman, by the name
of Prof. II Powell. is visiting this city,
accompanied by his wife, who is Me
dunn of singular characteristics. Prof.
P. is a native Of London, England, an
author Of several Spiritualist works,
and poems, and is now travelling in this
country lecturing upon Spiritualism,
and various literary subjects. Whether
he he's the recognition and endorsement
of the authorities among the Spiritual
| lists, we are unable to say, not having
any of their publications before u.s..
Prof. P, however, is a polite man, and
seems anxious to have a fair and
honest investigation Of his claims. OF his
wife he says that she has been for some
time past, Medium. and has recently
| developed into dancing medium, and
within the last few weeks her dancing
has been Of fine character; that she
never danced in her life except when
| under Influence and does not know the
first step; that the power influencing her
is the spirit of an Indian by name of
Silver Arrow that she never saw an
Indian and knows nothing of their Gus
toms. At his invitati on we visited the
residence of citizen of this place, and
witnessed one of the 'seances.'
Mrs. P. is small, delicate woman,
and has frail appearance like one in
the first stages of consumption. She
was dressed in red 'Bloomer' pants, Gar
ibaldi waist of the same color, trimm
with beads and fancy work. She took
her seat in the company and circle
was formed by joining hands. Music was
started, and in short time, Mrs p be-
gan to show signs of agitation, and was
attacked by numerous witches. Soon
with contortion of body, she was
brought to her feet, and commenced to
move about the floor. Her motions were
at first awkward, but became graceful, as
the musician struck into lively tunes
Many of her attitudes and movements
are similar to those seen in the exhibit
tions o: the various Indian dances. -
She remained on her feet over an
hour, with only two short intervals not
exceeding, together, five minutes, and
danced with an energy that would have
exhausted in less than one third that
time, a person far superior in physical
endurance to one Of her appearance
Besides the dancing, she was put thro'
series of trying gymnastics.
Silver Arrow seems fully to under
stand English, but is unable to speak it,
He makes his wishes known more by
signs than by his gutteral calculations.
| He often scolded the musician and or
dered him to play faster. He can write
q few words, anG motioning for paper,
spelled out the names of the pieces he
desired played. In conversation Silver
Arrow makes signs to inform his hear
crs that this dancing is intended to
throw off lung affection which Mrs
p has-she being his patient.
Whatever may be thought to be the
cause Of this performance on the part
of Mrs p, all who see her, acknowledge
that she does dance well, a long time
without the least sign of fatigue, and in
perfect harmony with the music.

THE REPS LYING BLUN.
DEIRS!
The EIeause. Don't Lie,

It appears that the Democrats statement
that the last years taxes were more close
ly collected" is downright lie. On the
contrary they were more carelessly, slowly,
imperfectly and inaccuraaely collected
than ever before in the county's history
REP. and Rep. Of last week.
We have obtained the following figures
from the record, which prove our assertion
correct and again prove the inaecuracy of
our neighbors. The Duplicate of 1868
amounted to $S69,I7l 46 8, of which $I2-
S29 were delinquent being SO mills on the
dollar. The Duplicate of 1867 amounted
to $s28, $50 80 . of which $11, $40 was de-
linquent, being SO mills on the dollar
showing that last years duplicate was col
lected 3 mills on the dollar closer by Treas.
urer John Steel than the year before was
by Mr.. Feather. This shows the state
ment Of the Rep. and Rep. to be ''down-
right lie, /" and if E. n. johnson Jr., the
radical disunion, free love candidate fol-
the Legislature had paid his taxes, it wo'd
have been collected alittle closer still. And
If Hartzell & saxton had paid their tax
without being dunned for it several time:
after the goth of June, it would not havG
been collected quite 50 SLOWLY as it was.
The truth is, these radical Intervals have
loaded the people with taxes, that ever
neighbor Hartzeu cannot pay his share II

HIGH, AND THE MONEY
SQUANDERED.
Stark county, under Radical man
agement, Is in financial condition
not at all to be enVied.
During the year ending Sept. 1,
1859 there was over half a million
dollars collected by the Treasurer,
and all of the amount, except $2I,-
2T7,54, paid out on the order of the
County Commissioners. Since that
time the Commissioners have borrowed
$50, 500. Between the list and
the 10th of September. this
amount, and-the S2l ,277 which re-
mained in the County Treasury on
the lst of the month, has all disap-
Peared, except the sum Of .Jty.tfUe
| cents. In commenting upon this
singular state of affairs the Stark
County Democrat says:
''Fiity-five cents In the Stark coun.
ty Treasury! Over half a million Of
money received and paid out in one
year! Taxpayers, read and reflect
