BEEcHER ON Sp1R1TUALIsM.-The New
York Tribune publishes the following
letter from Henry Ward Beecher
SIR Allow me to say that in the dis
course of Sunday night, portion of
which was reported in this mornings
Tribune, I did not discuss i" Spiritual
ism - as that term is now understood,
but the Scriptural teachings respecting
the Divine Spirit. Modern &c Spiritual
ism " was barely alluded to, but with
out affirmation or denial. If your re-
port shall be interpreted as an express
sion of my views on the modern doctrine
of Spiritualism, I am unwilling to be
responsible for its statements. look
with profound interest upon all wise eff
forts to deduce the scientific truth from
that extraordinary class of phenomena
which have become SO common in our
day, and to which, at length-in Eng
land at least-the attention of men of
the highest scientific attainment has
been seriously turned. But have never
vet been convinced that these remarka-
BILE modern phenomena originated from
the interposition of spirits outside OF
the human body.

Mr.. EDITOR:
Let me express my gratitude on the

from some Railroad Town down east.
The reading matter is considerably en-
largcd and more interesting.

boring village Of ireland will not come
amiss as you have plenty Of room now.
We have had an interesting time for
week or ten days holding protractcd
meeting under the control of Rev. III.
Davidson of the Methodist Episcopal
Church. The result so far is good. There
has been quite number Of conversions.
besides the anxious seats crowded day
and night the people turn out in crowds.

terest beaning on their countenances,
seeming determined to drive the prince
Of darkness from our town..
Business matters'are' still lively in all
departments of trade and some changes

The saloon that has given such noto-
ricty under thescontrol of Wolvcn, Vim

after will be conducted by kcan, Stew

tlemen intend replenishing their stock
with leather and set of shoemakcrs
tools. If 80 our town will be rid OF the
worst nuisance in it. There is some
thing remarkable i'm the short history of
the saloon spoken of, which will give
your readers a sketch.
Prior to the protractcd meeting it was
reported that the Rev. Harry promised
to pray the doggery out of town. on
condition that the good people Of Ire
land would hold up his hands = so the
Lord has answered him even in this =

that the accounts OF Mr.. JAS. w. Dou-

President and demanded an investiga-

Investigation the President pcrcmptori-
ly refused to have made. IN this de-
partment the stamp account, extending
over a period OF six years, has not been
audited or settled since the appointment
of Mr.. Boutwell,. When Mr.. johnson
was President he asked for a statement
of this account, and Secretary M'Culloch
designated trustworthy clerk from the
Treasury Department to audit the ac-
count and render a statement of il, and
deficit of six millions OF 4 ollars was
shown. Commissioner Rollins suppress

that this appOintee balanced accounts SO
accurately that not cent was unexplain-

were given. President johnson was
unwilling to let the affair go by in this
way, and demanded further explana-
ton, but red tape kept him from inter-
fering with it, for his term of office had
expired. President Grant being after
