rose to 92I. It is puzzle to know why
the two stocks are so lar apart, A variety
oi reasons are given, but none are entirely

posed to be due to the strength Of the

He promised to be present himself and

Conkling announced, personally, that

Special Dispatch to the IntsIlIsOuCer.
For some months past q very singular
occurrence has taken place quite fre,
quently in barber shop on Market street,
this city. 1t seems that there are two
persons who visit the tonsorial artist
twice week for the purpose OF getting a
clean shave, who have complete control
over the young barber while In the chair.
Your correspondent was present to-day
and on eye witness to the effects produced
upon the colored gentleman while he was
engaged in shaving one OF his mesmeric
customers. While engaged in shaving or
rubbing his hands over the face OF the
party the barber seems to forget where lie
Is or what he Is doing, and not until he 10
spoken to sharply by the young man In the
chair does he seem to realize what he is
doing. The gentleman informed tho writer
that he had noticed this singular action
for some months, and the barber said that
he could not explain why 1t was; but II
seemed to him that he forgot everything
when he attempted to shave two OF his
customers. Both Of the gentlemen referred
TO have powerful animal magnetism and
the singular effects produced upon the col.
ored gentleman can only be explained
upon the ground OF mesmeric influence,
