Not moment was lost from the time
the stand was reached and Prof. Kountz
had tuned his VOL, until the merry tripping
Of many feet commenced in time with the
Professors sweetest strains. With an in
Permission for refreshments, partly carried
with the party and partly furnished by
that thoughtful gentleman, Mr.. VIM.
Moorman, the merry dance went on until
1.30 A. NJ, when the party left for home,
hoping soon again to enjoy another equally
pleasant evening in the beautiful grove
of Fort Defiance.

den took the oath Of Office before quail.
fed magistrate In New York."
The reporter frat visited a well-iu;
formed Democrat, who might be supposed
to know II anything Of the kind had taken
place, and Asked
"Haa Mr.. Tilden taken the Presidential
oath Of office :"
"No nothing Of the kind. About the
9TH Of March the rumor prevailed that
he was TO take the oath in New York,
but | know II was not done, Mr.. Tilden
dosen't propose TO proceed In any such
way, Everybody admits now that Hayes's
election was a fraud. The people recog.
nice that Mr.. Tilden was wrongtully de.
prtyed Of the Office, and the expectation
ia that he will receive from the people in
1880 what rightfully belongs TO him now"
The reporter next visited Col. W. I.
Pelton, Gov. Tlldens nephew, at the
office Of the New York Elevated railway,
No. Broadway. This interview may
have been satisfactory to Col. Pelton, but
it was not to the reporter, who first Said

Colonel Pelton appeared to be little
surprised at the question and asked
"WhAt do you mean%
The reporter showed him newspaper
slip containing the above extract, which
he read and said, IL do not know who
could have said that"
"The question wanted to ask, Mr.. Pei

"The question" repeated the reporter
who began 10 leel little doubtful about

could command into the appeal; "th'

A LIVELY SPrRrIuALIsrIo sEANcE &C.
Cured at Boston a few days ago, in which
Mra Bennett, a Undertaking medium"
who had been exposed once before, was
again shown up as a bareiaced fraud
Several spiritualists, Of an unusually
candid and inquiring disposition, became
Satisfied that there was trickery in Mrs.
Bennetts manifestations and devised a
plan for probing tho whole business 10
the bottom. A few evenings since the
medium promised to show to one Of them,
named Robinson, the form Of his little
daughter, who had died some time before,
and the Investigators took this opportu-
nifty as the most favorable one. At the
appointed time the lights in the chamber
were extinguished, and Mrs. Bennett ap-
peared with the Spirit" in which Rob.
inson pretended 10 see a resemblance 10
his daughter, making no comment on its
remarkable growth since 1t entered the
-fealm of shade, After few tender
words he suddenly peized the "spirit"
around the waist with firm grip, con-
federete turned on the Lights, and Robin
son found himself embracing strappiug
lass Of 100 pounds weight who had enter
ed the room on her knees, Some of the
mediums friends rushed to the rescue,
and a vigorous pulling occurred, which
finally resulted in the escape of the aston
ished sspook1 in great disorder. Another
spirit" who had figured carly in the
evening, took the opportunity to rush
through the door 10 very scunt attire and
vanished into an adjoining chamber and
locked the door, Mrs, Bennett has con-
cluded that her performances are getting
too realistic for perfect success, and has
disappeared from the horizon of Boston,
but Of course such little episodes as this
don't shake the faith Of the main body Of
the believers at all, and they wait pa
tiently to be gulled by the next conner.
