Those Faith Doctors.

w. Fl. Buckley aud the Grew" w r.
Torrey, the two prefessed faith curers
who performed their wsrk here in the
Baptist church last October, are DOW
plying their curative avocation in Louis
vile. Kentucky. They make the most
outlandish statements to the citizens
there of the cures performed here, max
ing tEe blind to see, the halt and lame to
walk, the deaf to hssr, and, in fact,
working every miracle except raising The
dead and indeed it would be inferred
that this they could also DO if given time
enough to get the proper machinery in
shape. Hearing these fabulous stories
M E. Beane, of Louisville, came here
last Friday to investigate for himself and
find out what truth was contained in
the stories of the miraculous workings
of these so-called healers. Mr.. Beane
interviewed several parties who professed
to be cured and he was far from being
convinced that any cures had been per-
formed on them. But strange enough to
say, 80 great is the infataation Of the
people administered to, that they are
willing to affirm under oath that Messrs
Bulkley and Torrsy are all they profess
to be, and are possessed of some supsrnat-
aral power;not accounted for. The report
of wonderful powers exercised by these
men is spreading, it appears, to all parts
of the country and every day letters Of
inquiry about their doings ara received
by our citizens. Here is one just handed
