Spiritual Exposition.

The celebrated Lewis elimination which has
been creating furore on the Pacific coast for
the past seven years, Will appear In our village.
at the Opera House, on Friday and Saturday
papers highly endorse the performance. The
Telegraph in long notice speaks OF the cul-
mination as being the most wonderful ever
given in that city the following is an extract
from the same:
'At one time there was introduced on the
stage cabinet, or square OF curtains, suspend
ed from above, and Messrs. Alexander Cameron,
Geo. Bardeen, John Mcmillan, aud DIR Henry
Uplohn were appointed committee to 60 upon
the stage and investigate. A young lady being
introduced within the cabinet, these gentlemen
tied her hands securely with o small cord, and
made them secure to post in the center OF the
cabinet. On closing the curtains her hands
soon appeared through apertures, but on draw
ing the curtain she was found sitting in the
same condition as when left. In like manner
she appeared with Mr.. Bardeen's coat, which
had been left in the cabinet, on her when the
curtains were next drawn, but still with hands
fastened, and after the next concealment the
coat was found hanging on the post just as at
first.
The most interesting test OF Mr.. Lewis pow
ers was the word Cor writing) test. DR.. Upjohn
tore leaf from his memorandum book, dvd-
ed il in three parts. and handed one to Mr.
BardeeD, one to Mr. Mcmillan, and kept the
third himself. Each then wrote a word on his
piece Of paper. DR.. Upjohn went behind the
caoinet to write his word, where Mr.. Lewis did
not see him while writing, except that he came
and glanced around there and saw where he
was. Each gentleman, after folding bis paper
handed it to Mr.. Lewis, who, holding 1t at arm 3
length IN the tips OF bis fingers, handed 1t to
Mr.. Cameron. He then told the three words
correctly Cor rather the young woman IN the
cabinet, on bis questioning).
The egress Of q man from q sack was per-
laDs. equally mysterlOus The entertainments
closed, with a fary-like performance, repre-
senting pictures in the air." in which a young
lady, beautifully alfred IN a modest costume,
representing the Amazon Flower Girl. Red
Riding Hood, etc, elected rounds OF applause.
Mr.. Lewis does not claim the aid OF any
supernatural powers /; he frankly says his per-
formances are clever decepfIons but certainly
they are very interesting, especially to those
who have been interested in spritualistic
seances." Let every one attend.

The farmers are sowing their oats through

The peach is in good condition and large
yield is expected, though the crop may yet be
injured by the frost, which often occurs quite

christian worker, Will continue as pastor of the
Disciple church for another year.
An undenominational business and young
mems prayer-meetiDg, to be held at the school
house every Sabbath evening at 615 O'clock is

The red ribbon club paid its respects to the
Town Board last Friday evening, and demanded
a construction OF the liquor law in the interests
of temperance. This sep grew out of COM
plant of our licensed dealer that not one-tenth
of the liquor sold here is purchased OF him. but
that all the deviltry Of it is laid to him. Two
members OF the board being prominent and
active temperance men, we shall expect strict
compliance with the law, to the end that the
"belIy ache" dodge cease, and that the licensed
dealer have the rights he go loudly clamors fol-.
We are law-abiding, and propose that all per-
sons who come to our village sober and go
away drunk, shall get drunk "a according to
law" In this connection, it is due our druggists
to say that they are IN sympathy with the de-
mand OF the club and do not wish to occupy an
equivocal position.
The reform movement grows in numbers and
means for effective work. The apathstic are
being electrified into active cooperation and
sympathy deeper sense OF the crime OF
liquor selling and drinking pervades our COM
munity as a principle. Rdcule and sneers
have ceased and instead, evidences are not
wanting that the persistent efforts OF few
determined men and women are to result in
healthy public sentiment here; that the good
there is in our citizenship will crystalline into
