held at Shcidons Assembly rooms yesterday
morning. at which DR.. Brainard and Judge Charles

of Judge Case with the slnto.writing medium Mr.
Charles Il. Watkins were especially novel. One
test consisted Of the taking Of two clean satcs and

together with a cord Tho slatcs were held by the
Judge and simply touched by the medium when II
prescribed word or sentence was given, aud writing
was heard that must have boon done
by some unseen intelligence Upon sever.
ing the cord tho Judge found tho exact
words he had dictated plainly written upon the
slate which, in the meantime, had not let his own

by this medium. The question Is how to account
Tor the phenomenon. The Judge stated that there
is prospect that this wonderful medium VIII
