We mentioned some time since
statement that young man was en-
gagged IN the completion OF The
Mystery OF Edwin Drood,' writing as
a medium, at the dictation OF the
spirit OF Charles Dickens. The me-
dunn, we learn further, is a German
printer Of Brattleboro. VT, 80 or 30
years OF age, Intelligent, but without
genius SO tar as his friends unuer-
stand him. lie says he has never
read single one OF the works OF Mr.
Dickens, much less the one in course
OF publication at the time OF the nov
elist's death !; yet he has reproduced
some OF the peculiar features OF the
latter, and some OF his manuscript
bears evidence at least OF a very
imitation OF Dickens style. We
haye been shown letters IRON two
prominent citizens OF Brat,leboro,
both OF them dsbe levers III Spiritual
ism, and one of them especially eau
,lous against all manner OF i>ms, and
they appear to be very much impress
ed with the work of Tn. medium aS
far an it has progressed. Que OF
them remarks that parts OF the man
script are go unml-takably Dickens
style that no one not blind with pre-
iu,iire would doubt II and ct course
We are reminded that il $ one thing

to have his own work The medium

We have been shown several pages

Underground Telegraph

A recent heavy ram followed by y
severe frost in this city played great

those now in use. Not only would
the unsightly Telegraph poles be
removed from our streets, but such

Of the city resulted from this fact. On
the contrary, We suppose the death

has been given TO the careful selection
