SPIRITUAL DEMoSsrRATIoNs.-Or
last Saturday this city was visited BY
two men claiming to be spiritualsts
who played poker all night Saturday
night, kept drunk during the greater
part of Sabbath day, and delivered q
spiritual sermon on Sabbath evening
ut the School House. One of the par.
ties also submitted to he tied hand
and foot by committee appointed
by the audience, and then requested
to be placed in IN adjoining room,
alone, until hc could effect his release
from the bonds by loosing the cords
that epcircled his limbs His rcquest
was complied with, and after waiting
for n reasonable time for him TO make
his appearance, one Of the members
Of the committee opened the door ot
the room containing the medium
and found him freed from his bonds
but the rope was lying upon the floor
with the knots still as securely tied rs
they were ut first, aud it was evident
that the spirits had failed to unite tho
rope and the medium had slipped
them over his hands and feet. One
of the committeeman had formerly
been n sailor, and his knot was toe
much for the ingenuity of the spirits
We understand the committee pro
nounccd linn q gross humbug. The
" mediums " left our town early next
morning for parts unknown.

been heard Of the missing man, Thomas d.

prosecuted by the Orders of Odd Fellows and

appearance more singular Is that Mr.. Lewis
was u young man of very steady habits, and
not accustomed to being absent from his

BRowBEATINo A MAGISTRATE.

An Interesting Case-A Cooperation
Onicial Under Arrest for Violating
tho Law-strango Scene In n Mesis.
trats's Omce-How . Case was Re.
moved from one Magistrate 20 An.
other A ward Commissioner
Threatened with Removal because
He did His Duty.
II will be remembered that some days ago
we published In the REPUBLICAN, the fact
that Mayor Bowen had issued orders to his
ward commissioners to cause the removal Of
all distractions In the streets. Sanitary
Officer Mullins has been assisting Commits
sioner Wright, Of the Third ward, In the per.
formance Of his official duties; aud among
others who were duly notified, was the car.
penter firm Of Hunt & Williams, who were
ordered to remove certain lumber lying op-
poste their shop, at the corner OF II and
Eighth streets. No attention was paid to
the notification, and accordingly warrant
was Issued by Justice Thompson against the
firm.
Mr.. Williams, one of the firm, appeared
to answer before the magistrate, and was
duly arraigned before tho venerable Justice.
Mr.. Williams was accompanied by his
counsel, but took the management Of the
"preliminarlss |" In his own hands. Then
ensued a scene, as follows:
Mr.. Williams (indlgnant). I want to rule
this case before Squire Cox or Squire
Chase, or, II can't do that, want It before
Squire Boswell.
Justice Thompson (placidly). Well, sir,
take this book, and II you can swear that
you do not think will render you Justice, |
will consent to rule the case.
Mr.. W. (roughly.) I'll do no such thing.
I want you to rule the case at once.
Justice 7. cannot do II, sir, unless you
have Just reason for taking IL from me.
Mr.. W. (waxlng wrathy and growing en-
phatlc.) I'll have your commission revoked;
see II don't.
Justice T. (rislng from his seat much ex-
clted.) You can't do 1t, sir; you can't do
II. My friend, Mayor Bowen, went with me
to President Grant aud got my commission,
and you Cant do 1t.
Here one Of the police officers approached
the venerable justice and whispered CHATS
Williams, the president of the Board Of
Common Council"
The venerable magistrate, who has high
respect for "thc powers that be-" is said to
have grown suddenly pale, his knees smote
together, as he again whispered, "You can't
do II, sir" One Of the officers attempted to
explain to Mr.. Williams that the warrant
was Issued strictly In accordance with the
orders Of tho commissioner. "What," ex-
claimed Mr.. W., "I'll take the bread ont of
his mouth In couple OF days" Mr.. w.
fumcd and frctted, and at last Justice
Thompson did rule n: case before Justice
