Whether Mr., Beecher IS found guilty or

THE storm on Saturday night was one of
the most terrific that has passed over this
city for years. For more than an hour and
half, the rain fell in torrents, and during
all the time the storm lasted the heavens
were ablazc with lightning, Illuminating
our NV with lurii, painful light, while the
;irmest buildings in the city were shook to
their very foundations by the fearful thuu,
der. 1t seemed as Though volley after volley
from innumerable batteries Of heavy artillery
planted in the storm clouds which overhung
the city, were being fred at our unfortunate
city, by unseen foes.
Two public balls we're in progress, on the
south SIde,at the time the storm broke Upon
the city. but the dancing soon ceased for the
noise Of the bursting bolts Of Jove drowned
the music ofthe bands and the more timid
portion OF those in Attendance, frightened by
the fierce glare Of the lightning, hudiIel to-
gether in groups and sHxioUs!y waited for the
storm to pass bN
As yet we have heard Of no buildings being
injured BY 'he storm, hut considerable dam
age was done to crops in this vicinity hy b,-
ing beaten down. On the whole, the storm
lid q great deal Of good, for Me dry weather
previous to the storm, had lasted So long
that crops were suffering for rain

SPIRITUALIsM NOTHING BUT WITCHCRAFr.
We suppose it will not only be conceded but
commended that this blessed land of ours, in this
glorious nineteenth century, stands for enlight-
OF the civilized world. Yet here within a few
years has been revived the practice of necro-
many, or evocation of the dead, to tell Us the
secrets OF the future, Q belief in women who
have familiar spirit-that is witches, though
we call them mediums, not witches-aud have
Instituted, under the name Of spirit, blunder-
ingly called spiritual, q regular system of DEM
on-worship. This revival did not take place
among the benighted foreigners settled among
us, but with genuine Americans Of Protestant
lineage, taught to call the Pope Antichrist, or
as a superstition. Spiritism has fiourished lax
urfantly among our free and enlightened Anne
ricans "a in a congenisl soil, and bids fair to
become the national reli giOn.-Nep York Tablet.
