Prot. Bellew gave lectures ON mesmerism
at the opera house last Saturday and Monday
nights, and Saturday afternoon. His audien-
ces were small but appreciative. As he
did not have any slight-of-hand performance
In connection, he did not create as much en-.
thusiasm as som seemed to expect, and
many persons have pronounced the science
of mesmerism a total humbug. This,
your reporter thinks, Is a great mis-
take. Mesmerism Is as much a re-
atty as is electricity, though it is not yet
quite as well understood. He gave lessons at
| Central Female College, and at Wentworth
Male Academy, and was quite successful in
securing subjects at each sitting.
On last Saturday afternoon little Charley,
son of Mr.. William F. Meet, aged about five

was made for him all over the nelghborhood
but he could not be found. His parents be-
came alarmed, and the whole vicinity became
interested in the hunt. The fire bell was
rung and inquiries were made of people from
all parts of town; still nothing could be heard
of the child. Finally an intimatfon was re-
ceived that maybe George O'Dell, who lives
about t~wo-and-a-half miles above town, might
have taken him, rs he Wal in town that day
in a wagon. No sooner did Mr.. Meet hear
this than he and Geo. Berg started late at night,
out to O'Delrs. Sure enough, there was the
child. O'Dell had proposed to the child to 60
home with him to show him his fathers calf
which he had there. The child, Of course, did
not know the consequence of thus absenting
himself and accepted the proposition with
pleasure. Toward morning Mr.. Meet and
his companion returned the child to his moth
er's arms. We have heard of just such non
though it is hard to understand how a grown
person can have SO little sense and discretion
as to scare q mother half to death and alarm
q whole neighborhood of people by All incon-
siderate act. 1t should be understood that
children should never be induced to leave
home without the knowledge Of their parents.
