DR.. Clark and wife lectured in the Town
Hall on Sunday evening to a large audi
ence. They attcmptel to show the evils
resul. ing from belief in spiritual NANTES
tations. This lecture was free, sort Of
appetite sharpener for the twenty-five cent
lecture on Monday evening, when the lee
turers were going TO expose, show up, and
prove that spritualism was humbug and
the mediums fraud, by doing the same
things that the mediums have done. Ia
this they sgnally faied-failed to perform
what they proposed-Lut failed to satisfy
the audience that the lectures were any
more honest than the mediums they were
traducing There was one thing they sue
ceeded in doing and that was convincing
the people that the almighty dollar was
what they were after, and that they were
ready TO be converted again whenever it
would pay better DR.. Clark has medium
istic powers, and is easily controlled by ig-
norant and low spirits, by which he can
perform some of the teats performed by
the Eddys and other mediums. If it is all
fraud why don't some of the smart men
prove it to be so? But, no; whenit comes
to tight pinch they say it is so plain that
it needs no explanation. If the mediums
are all frauds it seems to me that some
body might show them to be so. Q.

The Register says: Two Middlebuiy gen
tlemen-a representative of the legal pro-
fession, and a collegian- while returning
along the East Mlddlebury road. last Sun
day evening, found an opportunity to play
the Good Samaritan. 1t seems that young
man, who had been destroying his legal re-
sponsibility in large draughts of creek
water, had become unable TO drive Prop
erly, and the consequence was an upset of
carriage and general spilling out of robes
and occupant. In fact the fellow was
helpless and his horse discouraged. The
lawyers first thought, when the drunken
fellow proposed TO fight him, was TO take
him up as he used to such characters when
he was States Attorney. But the second
thought prevailed, and so the poor fellow
was kindly taken to shelter and cared for,
and the horse led back to the livery stable
from whence he was taken.
