of sleep having vanished, aud announced
that the bed mad moved, which
was found to be the case on
investigation Tbat same night the
girl took fsinting 1T, and Was laid
on the bed, and while lying
there the gentleman secreted himself in
the room in a recess caused by the CHIN
ney. On the girl recovering conscious
ness she asked her mother if the other
bed in the room had moved, and on re-
ceiving negative answer, asked her
mother if there WAS not

behind the chimney, and insisted on her
mo.he. looking and resurrec!lng he
seeker after truth. This fact OF itself
savors strongly that the girl was
onlv feigning sickness in order to
ascertain whether she was being
watched. Again, when the flour barrel
was upset, the girl WAS standing within
a few feet of it, and when informed that
the barrel had been upse. and that the
-four was scattered over the floor, con
tinued at her work, paying no attention
whatever TO the matter. When the
crooks in the milk house were upset, the
girl was also on hand, and was seen
few moments before the manifestation
was discovered,
COMING FROM THE MILK HOUSE.
In short" says the gentleman, VINO Is
IN every way trustworthy man, there
was no manifestation during Saturday or
Sunday night with which the girl was
not in some way connected, and there
can be no possible doubt in my opinion
but that she is the agent through when
the manifestations have been caused. l
know this from my own observations,
aud seeing cannot fail to believe, as l
made it my special duty TO look after the
matter, being one OF the first at the
place after the manifestations COM
menced He further informed the re-
porter that
THE GIRL HAD BEEN SEEN TO MOVE
articles, and that he would furnish the
evidence of that in the future, there be-
ing another party watching the mouse
last night, and that he could give no
further information on the subject until
that gentleman reported the result OF bis
observations. All that which has been
stated is n fact, and cannot be gainsayed,
rs there is abundant evidence To substan
tiste 1t and more too II neces-
sary, but the above Is sufficient
to.convjnce any one gifted with ordinary
reasoning faculties that the fraudulent
theories OF gas, electricity and head!ess
spirits have no more to do with this affair
than al unborn babe. With these facts
before them our readers will readily per
ceive that the great bundle OF sEidavlts
and "stouL" articles in the possession OF
the postmaster doctor will now make
A BETTER BONFIRE THAN EVIDENCES OF
FACT,
lnasmuch as one of the parties whose de-
position he has taken has been sadly
deceived through her own imagination.
While sitting in room she called the
attention of those around her to the bed,
which she claimed was moving, ard IN
sisted that it had moved. The parties
who had placed the bed on the bedstead
placed certain marks on the bedstead At
the same time, and Nh examination
proved that the bed had remained
stationary, and had not moved the least.
This TACT will also prove that the
witnesses whose dispositions We're taken
we're not IN u proper frame o!
mind to Judge nationally Us to some
of the demonstrations, their imagination
being worked up to such pItch ~ t.
cause even their own
EYEsIGHT TO DECEIVE THEM.
More facts could be given in this con-
nection, but enough has already been
produced to prove beyond doubt t1at
the the theory published in the REGISTER
yesterday morning, that the girl was the
principal in these demonstrations Is doubt
less the correc: one and that common sense
has Mt last predomnated, Ms y majority
OF the people nave accepted that Theory
