At length there has been an investigation of ''spirit phenomena" that has resulted in way to fully satisfy the skepsics. Some time since occupants of house at Ben nington, Vt., caused a report to be circu- lated to the effect that they were nightly
 'hideous screams, mysterious noises, jump ings, pullings, and carryings on' of such 8 character as to reader it impossible to ob- tain Ca wink of sleep" No one thought of doubting the truth of the rumors, but, as Tn nearly all cases of the kind, the de : sire to obtain definite information as to the precise character of the manifestations" was SO strong that committee of discreet persons was appointed to visit the ''haunt- ed house." After few seGnces it became manifest that the occupants in the flesh only-were the authors Of the before mentioned ''hideops screams, mysterious noises, iumpings, pullings and carvings on." It appears that their object was to remove elsewhere without paying arrears of rent, and, still further, to aid proposed purchaser to obtain the house at a price much less than it's value. It is a pity that the investigations of so-called ''spirlt phe- nomena" are not always intrusted to com mittee as little likely to be imposed upon as the one at Bennington.-Neao York Daily ISnaes.

A song by the children very well rendered and then a short address by one of the "Twelve Apostles" or Mormon Elders, con stituted the simple order of exercises. The tunes were we'll adapted to childish voices and capabilities among them recognized "John Browns Soul," Tramp, tramp, tramp, the boys are marching" &c. The addresses were mad'' hv different Mormon magnates, Il physic one of the saints who sat near me kindly giving me their names in succession. The burden of their remarks seemed to be against swearing, ly- ing, chewing and smoking, wees to which their youth are becoming addicted in con sequence of association with the worlds people. The listeners were advised, al most commanded, to take the Desert Ne,cs and tue Woman's Endowment, a paper de- voted to "woman's rights" and Brigham was exalted as great prophet and revelat- or, to be obeyed and reverenced. All this on the Sabbath day. heard the name of Christ mentioned only once during the ser vices, and listened intently. My convic- ton IS that the days of Mormonism are numbered. With the life of Brigham Young it will pass away. The young wo- men revolt against it; the young men have tasted and relish the ''flesh pots of Egypt" and even the old men are more interested in making money than in promoting the welfare of the church of the Latter Day Saints. One Mormon was pointed out to me whose annual income exceeds $2OO, GOO and Brigham's wealth is enormous. With riches will come luxury; the poorer MoE mons are the most fanatic. They however are @ hard-working, industrious, simple race they have redeemed their country from the wilderness, and the government can well afford to leave the solution of this difficult question to time.

Ills Western Receptjon.-Very many of our readers will be pleased to learn what the people of Omaha think of the Rev. Mir. Wright, when they had heard his first ser mon delivered in that city after his arrival in his new field of labor in the far West. Mr. Wright was pastor of the NJ. E. church at Lakeville before the Rev. MT. Borton. the present pastor, was placed in charge, but more recently in Lee, ill Massachusetts, where he was stationed when he received the call from Omaha. We clip from the Omaha Republican, the following remarks concerning hlm:
 We had the pleasure of hearing this gentleman at the First NJ. E. Church on Sabbath morning. The first discourse of a pastor to his people We have always thought was the most embarrassing position in which he can be placed in his association with his flock. If he comes from dis tance all his surroundings are new and strange. It is not only new city and country, but new people with strange faces and different manners and customs | from the community in which he has lived. We heard but one expression yesterday. .and that was perfect satisfaction with the new pastor. MT. Wright is fine speaker. He possesses musical and exceedingly we'll cultivated voice very much above the aver age. and is thoroughly in earnest in his great work. The discourse embraced the idea of the relations of pastor and people and specially with his regard to his duty to them. It Was clear, plain aAd practical, 1 and sometimes eloquent and showed most conclusively that the preacher was a workman that need not be ashamed. y We regret that we cannot give synopsis of it. We can congratulate the church and the religious community on the acces sion of such man to the ranks of the clergy in Omaha, because men of this stamp must accomplish great good in any community.

 After this survey of Utah city we repaired to the Mormon museum and menagerie. The display was not great but worth seeing, as it contains many speci- mems of ores and samples of the manufac lures of these people. had been informed by my guide book that we should see seve- ral curious animals of the country, but there were none that were new to me, ex- cept black tailed deer, which ate candy from the ladies' hands. After seeing Brig hams zion house, where his wives arc domi- oiled. the ''bee hive'' and the ''tithing house" we returned to our hotel. After tea we went to the theater, where we an ticipated an introduction to Mormon talent, but beheld only thrd-rate Gentle artist in highly sensational drama. We were repaid, however, by sight of the assem- bled Mormon people. Just behind us sat a small portion of MT. Young's immediate family-numbering about thirty-a few wives with several sons and daughters. l chanced to sit near an officer of the U. s. A., who had been stationed some time in Utah, and he pointed out to me the celeb rites. You may have some curisoity re- gardlng the apparel of these Mormon women: they were dressed as we'll as any ordinary country congregation, not expen- sively. but with nothing Outre in their ap- pearance. am told that the young girls are unanimously opposed to polygamy- that since the Gentiles have come into Salt Lake, and they have seen the freedom with which their women mingle with the world and the equality existing between man and wife in true marriage, they have become more bitter against their own system than ever before. This is, however, only as re- gards Salt Lake City The Mormon women in the country do not symrathize with their city sisters, but deem polygamy di. vine institution and glory in being the wife of man with many wives. Brigham has 8 son, Oscar Young, who has departed from the faith. He has been three times married-divorced, and gong east espoused pretty Gentle and becaule Gentle him self. He is, notwithstanding his defections, a favorite with his father, and manages a great deal of his business. The large chair which Brigham occupies, when attending the theatre, was appropriated by thls son Oscar, who seemed on the very best of terms with his numerous half-brothers and sisters. l could not discover the marks of brutality and degredation sad to distinguish the Mormon women-they looked like any other collection of ordinary people, but with none of that dejection or despondency which I have been told characterized them. The girls laughed and chatted, and seemed as high hearted as any other girls. Ascer- taining that there would be no service in the Mormon temple strolled out on Sun. day morning for walk, until meeting band of little folks, learned there was to be 8 grand gathering of Mormon children to sing together, and straightway fol lowed them. Having asked permission of an ol6 Mormon, and after moments hesi- tation obtained, entered the tabernacle and found myself in an assembly of 5000 people, chiefly children.
