There came up in Clinton last week
avery peculiar trial for this enlight-

from Clinton, in this county, a we'll
known and respected family by the
name of Berry theseldest daughter
fof which has been married, Ahd lives
lin the edge of Ballard County. This
daughter has poor, health, andsiit
seems must be at least partially de
ranged. This daughter told i he
family that man BY the name Of
Mcdonald had died near Charleston,
Missouri, and that he had since ap.
tpeared to herin the form Of an angel
and made various revelations to her;
that he had told her the nature Of
her disease, and what to do toleffect
q cure; andthat she hid followea the
directions given and been relieved
thus proving the reliability Of the
spiritual cbhinahtcatfonsa She also
told them that on another occasion
this spirit had informed her that cerl
tain neighbpring ladieswepe witches,
and and that they would come tosthe
house in theform Of cats and do them
some great injury.
The family were believers in the
power Of spiritual to communicate ,nliiit

minds were 50 wrought upon that
