Exposure Of Spiritual Medium
ism.

The entertainment given at AL
pine Hall on Tuesday evening last
week, for the above purpose, was
one of the most successful and sat-
isfactory ever afforded an Alpena
audience.
Tie Hon. w. L. Churchill in a
few eloquent remarks introduced
the medium for the occasion, who
was none other than our much
esteemed friend, Mr.. A. b. McGill,
the popular clerk of the steamer
Wenona, of whom Mr.. Churchill
remarked Gle was the most mod
est gentleman who had ever visited
our city, and who, while possessing
in a powerful degree the power of
exposing the tricks of mediumestic
frauds, had never told of his ability
until the present"
Mr.. McGill was tied securely to
post, with his hands behind his
back and firmly bound. A cord
encircled his neck, which was also
fastened to the same post, and his
feet were likewise tied closely to-
gether. The whole tying being
done by two prominent clergymen
and doctor, residents of this city.
When properly fastened and the
certificate of the committee having
been given that the medium could
not move, bells were placed with
tambourine on his lap, and in
stantly the bells were rung, the
tambourine was played and all the
instruments were thrown in various
directions. A common pail and a
hoop were successfully placed on
his lap and instantly thrown over
his head. The doctor was placed
in the cabinet with the medium,
whom he held firmly, and yet
guitar was played and flowers were
placed in his hands, to the astonish-
ment of the M. d., who subsequent
ly declared the medium had not
moved. Various other phenomenas
were exhibited, and all the audience
Joined in commentator. Several
of our. prominent citizens have
united in requesting the Boat Club
to induce a repetition of the per-
Torrance, with the additional at
traction that some of the examples
shall be given without a curtain.
This, we understand, the medium
is willing to accede to, and we hope
it may be done.

BY request of many of our citi-
zens, the Spiritualistic Seance Ex-
position, given last week, Tuesday,
will be repeated, at Alpine Hall,
on Tuesday evening of next week,
and the Professor has kindly con-
sented to perform some of his prin-
cipal fcats with the curtain down,
in full view of the audience. Pro-
ceeds for the benefit of the Alpine
Boat Club. AS this is the last OPP
portunity our people will have to
witness this wonderful performance,
we have no doubt the hall will be
crowded.

TiIdcn ana Hendricks.

AS stated by us last week, large
hickory flag pole had been received
in town by the Democracy, and
from the top of that strong and
towering staff now floats the names
of "Tildeh and Hendricks" After
it was decided that wo were to
have a hickory pole, A. W. Com
stock went to st. Clair county,
where he succeeded in securing
the necessary timber for one of the
handsomest poles that ever floated
q banner to the breeze. The tim
Der was shipped to this city by
steamer Wenona, and the work of
splicing and preparing for raising
was Immediately commenced, under
the charge of Donald McRae.-
That gentleman, with corps of
workmen, prominent among whom
were G. Burrell and j. c. Reed, aid
the work in an able and satisfac-
tory manner, and on Thursday
evening, when the banner contain
ing the names "Tilden and Hen
dricks," the standard bearers of
the Democracy during this Presi-
Dental campaign, was hoisted to
the free breeze, the concourse of
people on tho ground were ably
entertained with remarks by A. w.
Comstock, of this city, and j. N.
Tiff, of New York; and three
rousing cheers were given for Til
den, Hendricks, and reform.
The banner is thirty feet long
and fifteen feet wide, while the
lettering is four feet deep. The
pole is one hundred and sixty-three
high.

Report received and ordered placed

To lie President and Members crhc Board
Of EducdtioR!
], as a member OF the Committee on
Schools, beg leave TO report as follows !:
| found the Grammar aud High school
under the charge of the principal, Mr.
Dewey, and Miss Bachman. There were
about twenty pupils present, as the at
tendance i'm this department fluctuatcs
with the season. Tine examination was
not up TO the standard of what itshould
be, and think there is room for con-
siderable improvement in the school.
The intermediate department under
the charge of Miss Myers, was about
as might be expected, and in the whole
passed n fair examination. The Second
ward school under tho charge of Miss
Dixon, was, when visited by me, found
TO I've in II satisfactory condition, aud /
think no changes are required.
The Third ward school, under the
charge of DIR. McSwcen, passed reason
ably fair examination. | think that
there is waste of talent In this depart
ment, and IL DIR. McSween is TO remain
in charge of this department, | would
recommend that other studies be intro
duced into this department. The prim-
airy department under the charge of Miss
Harvey passed a fair examination.
The other schools were not examined
by me, therefore can not say anything
about them.
