sPrRIT PHoToGEAPH.-The public at large are
always skeptical in reference TO spiritual mani
festations The spirit photographs which have
excited such wonder have been among the things
involved in this skeptieism. This has partly
been because OF the numerous expositions of
fraud in connection with them aud partly be-
cause the many who do not have the opportunity
10 see them must take the Judgment Of the Few
who are privileged. Akron Is AZ last permitted
TO fudge for herself On Thursday last Mrs.
lanes Willis Of the 6th Ward, brought her little
daughter to lir. J. J. McFadden's photograph
rooms, on South Howard street, for the purpose
Of securing photograph. Two other children
accompanied them, all sitting in the same room
and in full view of the little girl while she sat In
front Of the camera. When the negative was
procured a second face was discovered peering
over the right shoulder Of the little girl, through
q rift in her long hair. The face Is only bali de-
fined, appearing palmer in the negative than On
the card, on the latter place appearing more like
d skull than face. The appearance OF the lace
cannot be accounted for on natural grounds aud
is laid by Mr.. McFadden to supernatural causes.

COLUMBUS, OHIO, August 6, 1873.
1t has been many year since Ohio has
turned out such an assemblage of the
people as was gathered this morning at
the Columbus Opera house for the pur-
pose of putting IN nomination a State
Democratic ticket. Not county in the
State but had Its delegation present
scarce village township but had its re-
preventative on hand to raise his voice in
favor Of q return to the patriotic principles
of the earlier republic and against the Of
fetal corruption, the NAL government, the
abuses of power and the general derelic-
ton of the party that now holds the reins
of government. 1t was emphatically an
uprising of the people, who felt that the
turn had come for them to assert their
authority.
The body of the Opera house, parquet
and dress circle we're assigned TO del
egates, and every seat was taken. The
lebbies and gallery were crowded with in
terested spectators, so anxious to be wit
nesses ofthe proceeding that many had to
stand the whole time. The meeting was
fully up to concert-pitCh in enthusiasm as
was eVinced whenever a speaker struck q
popular chord, such cheers and shouts
went up as to almost shake the walls with
their sound.
