Sometime IN the month OF November
last, very pious young lady. named
Fannie i.qrmour, living In the fsIlly Of
Nr. Frank Kuotts, resiilng he'ween
Halls Gross Roads and Wyo dnla, on
this pcninsula. was seeking "esrciiica-
tion.' and was expect'n 'ng to attend re-
heious services on 2 certain evening At the
firet-namei place, hut from some cause,
was disannOInted and compelled to re-
main at home. Taking her Bib'e, she
remarked 10 some member Of the family
that, although disappointed In attending
ruhlic Worship. thev would not he dlsap-
pointed in wilt from the spirit OF the
Almighty God and then commence1
reading the Scriptures and engagirg
in PRAYER. whilst thus engaged,
her limbs become IiZid, as II In
death, her tongue was very much swollen
and prOt-uded from her mouth, and she
remained in this condition for several
hours apparently lifelpss. Mr.. Knots,
who was absent from home at the time,
returned whilst the voung lady was In
this condition, and, of course. was very
much alarmed, and endeavored to bring
her to consciousness. but without avail
Finally, however, her consciousness re-
turned, whon she stated to the family
that she had remarabl vision thai her

heaven that she had seen the angels OF
heaven and her Saviour there that she
desired to remain, but was told that sue
must return 10 earth and reveal what she
had seen, ard that she would be permitted
to return, and given further views into
into the heavenly world.

The period of her frances Cf that he the

The attention Of the neigbhorhood became
attracted, aud at this time there Is said
10 he great excitement prevailing In the
vicinity Of her home. Scores visit the
house nightly. where religious services
are heli, aud manv conversions are tax

world Are now Of daily occurrence, and
her revelations Of. an interesting charac-
ter. She declares that her mission Is to
call sinners 10 repentance, and all who
have visited her have been impressed with
the belief of the sincerity of her pro

merely pretending tn have seen what she
would describe, but she has recently
added prophecy-whieh has never been

visit to Heaven on the 10 h OF June next

Miss Larmour has never enjoyed the
advantages of an education, aud heretO'

was beautiful.
These writings she has continued from
time to time, but always when in an un
