most difficult to find any traces Of the route be

they reached Central by the entrance to the

forces tends to the increase and intensity of the
mental conditions. II this is really the case it must
come within the ken of most respectable physicians
of large practice May it not then be worth while TO
consider the claims of the Sprituasts, who declare
that with the surcease of lfewhich means the total
extinction of all physical facuties-mmortality is
born? Miss Fancher's case has become the property
Of the world. Although Dr. Hammond has put ms

friends OF the young lady must that their reputa-
ton for honesty to question they refuse to

SKATING.

There much disappointment yesterday among
the visitors to the Park to find that the ball had not
gone up and that the preparations for skating the
part of the Park Department still incomplete.
The lake was well frozen and the skating would
have been vastly enjoyed had the skating house been
put up and the other arrangements been completed.
As it was, few passionate skaters launched them
selves boldly upon the ice and enjoyed the sport
hugely.
About dark yesterday the ball up the
