The ..Expose- OF spirituniisn

The Town Hall was literally packed last
evening in anticipation of beholdng the So
called spiritual, medumistic business ex-
posed and shown up as fraud before their
very eyes. The recent developments of the
Eddy family and the writings of and Won
ders related by Col. Olcott, have as every
one knows, given great incentive to the
interest taken in this art and consequently
when 1t was announced that spiritualism
,1as humbug and that it would be proven
to be at the Town Hall the multitude as
sembled TO witness the performance.
DR.. Urah Clark first addressed the au-
dience, giving somewhat extended his
tory of himself as Liberal Christian
minister in connection with other depart
ments of modern spiritualsm, and his rea-
sons for changing his views and becoming
an exposer of that doctrine. He stated
that he had lectured for some ten years in
| favor of spiritualism, had become acquaint-
ed with nearly all of the leading spirit
ualists in this country and in Europe, had
published work upon the the rise and
progress of spiritualism and had in other
ways become prominently identified as q
leader in the cause. He had, however,
never accepted more than one-tenth of the
mediumistic wonders but had deemed nine
tenths spurious like the Eddy manifesto
tions and others of that stamp which were
generally considered the most remarkable.
He did not believe the testimony of Robert
Dale Owen, Gerald Massey and other
learned men was worth any more than that
of anybody else, as they were as liable to
be weak upon that subject as other people
He believed it was best to agitate the sub
| ject as the doctrine was gaining ground SC
rapidly and las the doctrine was under.
mining everything held sacred in the world.
lie referred to the "liberal leagues" which
we're being formed simply for that very
purpose.
Mrs. Clark followed him in detailed
account of the manner in which she was
won over from spirtualism and inhdelity
to the Christian faith, and closed with {
| palnetlc appear lot relBioh anu morality.
Dr. Clark then announced that this eoen
ing they would give an exposition and ex
hibtion Of spiritualism as it really is, ant
invited all believers in the doctrine to bt
present, especially the Eddys, and said h,
would guarantee to do or have done every
thing which the so-called mediums coult
do or else explain it clearly.
Therefore all interested in witnessing
this test should attend tonight at the Tow
Hall tickets 25 cents.

Suffering in tho West.

Editor Rutland GL05e Having seen
many notices of the suffering Western
frontiersmen, in your paper, ! have Won
dered why some suggestions have not been
made which would tend to actively interest
our people in the matter of putting our
hands in our pockets, and sending our do
nation to these stricken people. If such
suggestions have been made, / have over
looked them. / therefore beg you to stir
up our citizens to act in this matter. Pos
sibly something has been said which l have
overlooked. 1t may be something is being
done. But what? Is any money being
collected? Can you, Mr. Editor, give us
any information on the subject9 And will
not The GLoBE-with its name as big as
our world-advocate charity for our peo-
pie to practice, which will go as far, at
least, as Kansas?
Please publish this communication with
such remarks as you may judge proper,
and obligc one who knows something of

The Saratoga COMBINATION.

A second rise of five cents per 100
pounds in the eaatern bound freights on
the part of the Saratoga combination" has
resulted in the withdrawal of the Michigan
Central from that crowd. President Joy
doesn't see any occasion to raise rates, ove-
the present figures, and is disposed TO keep
his line open on these terms all winter The

purpose, and that is, the practical impossi-
bility of any further grand railroad combi-
nations among competing lines over long

CHARLESTON, Dec. 10.
The Champion cotton press caught fire at
quarter past two o'clock this afternoon,
and the flames spread SO rapidly that in a
few moments the whole building was IN a
blaze. About 5000 bales of cotton were
in the press and sheds at the time, and are
nearly total loss. There is much uncer-
tainiy as to the insurance, but it is belev-
cd that the loss on the cotton will be $780,
600, which is fully insured, and $50, 900 on
the press, building and machinery, which
are Insured for 1000.

Yesterday, says Southern Colorado pa.
per, we saw man, a woman, geod-sized
boy, two babies, five or six blankets, a buff
faIo robe, and two strings Of chill Oh sim
gle pony. Every available inch from his
ears to the root of his tad was "'taken."
The poor animal was very small, thin as a
towe-rack, of a sickly pae color, and one
foreleg was about five inches shorter than
the other-tbe knee joint of that leg was
very lnge, and we supposed that the miss
ing part of the leg was driven in there by
the weight above, so that when it was re-
lieved the leg would stretch out again'hke a
turtles head. In fact, nearly all his legs
were short, and the crookedest convention
OF legs we ever saw. Taken altogether, 1t
was the most amusing horse and load we
ever saw. Incredible as it may seem, the
wiry little animal passed us on trot. When
he came down on that short leg, and the
family kerplumped" with it, it would
have made the oldest man living laugh. Both
the children were sleeping soundly, for the
motion of the horse served all the purposes
