Vastly deep at esprit Vale" (Cbi.tenden,
Vermon:), have gone to New York ard are
now showing the Goihsmites what q couple
of Vermont pie-aaters can do in the spirit
ual line. A correspondent gives the follow
ing account of recent seance, in which,
as will be seen, another well AMI more hon.
orably known Vermonter took prominent
part
The company collected in the back-parlor.
W here in the alcove, sometimes occupied by
piano and sometimes BY bookcase, with
no door or window opening from it, stood q
table and stand with a dinrer-bell and
gpitar and some other instruments on them.
Presently green curtain, about four feet
high, was stretched across the aIcove. and
then another, about half yard wide, was
stretched above the first. Eddy, a tall, thin,
pale man, not notwithstanding in any
way and apparently consumptiyc, sat down
in front OF the curtain and. looking round
the room. selected Judge Culver to sit by
his side. The Judge was asked to take
of his Goa. and roll up one sleeve of his
shirt, whereupon Eddy clasped bis arm with
both hands and asked e lady to take hold Of
Judge Culver's other hand. A blanket like
shawl was spread over Eddy and the Judge,
covering them to the shoulder, leaving their
heads outside. The company sang John
Bro wn's Body" and one or two other lively
airs, when the guitar was taken from the
table and pushed out in front OF the curtain,
where every one could see it, and there
tuned and played upon. Il was Lifted up
and swung above the curtain many times.
and it was repeatedly knocked dcwn or
| struck. making noise as though it had
been broken into thousand pieces This
was followed BY the raising of pair OF
hands above the curtain. one of then having
but three fingers. the little finger having
| been apparently cut of and the wound
| healed over. These hands were thrust cut
between the upper and lower curtain re-
pestedly ; they were placed over Judge
| Culver's head and on his ears: they took q
slate and pencil and wrote name; they
were clssped by the men of the company,
who said they felt substantial but not quite
| like human flesh. and were about the same
| temperature as the room. All the while the
gas was burning 80 that fine print could be
read in any part OF the room. When
raised, but there was nothing in
the alGoye which Was not there when
the curtain vas put up and the guitar was
uninjured. Judge Cdlyer is sure Eddy's
hands clasped his arm all the while, and
neither of them could have stirred without
the motion being seen BY all the company.
1t was absolutely impossible for Eddy to
have made the music or to have shown the
hands and there was no one in the slcove.
The gaslight precluded the impossibiiity of
tricke-y or fraud. Where did the hands
come from?
