dent Of the New York Butter and Cheese

Mrs. Theophi!us Young, Of Boston, is a
spiritualis;ic medium who met with a mis-
hap the other evening. This excellent lady
was in the habit Of giving exhibitions Of
her powers. She would play piano a few
minutes and then the instrument would
keep time by lifting its front legs clear from
the floor. She gave a seanco in Providence,
and by inadyertence only low chair was
provided for her to sit in. So strenuous was
she in insisting upon having a higher stool
that unbellevers grew suspicious, and when
the piano finally danced to her playing they
caught her lifting it with her knees. She
was indignant at the exposure, and retired
in tears
