A "MEDIUM" DOWNED.

STRAWBERRY POINT, Iowa, Nov. 3d.
G. F. Wyman, the Spiritualist medium,
has been holding seances at the residence
of w. B. Field for couple of weeks
past, the attendance being large each
evening, the medium not forgetting to
collect ST from each person in attendance.
Quite number of persons have been
worked up to high pitch, several being
on the verge of insanity over the adroit
manner in which he brought up the So
called spirits Of departed friends. Sever
al skeptical young men attended the
seance Saturday night with the deter
mination of exposing what they con-
sidered a palpable fraud. Accordingly
one of them managed to secure seat
near the cabinet from which the spirits
materialized. The clothing of the
medium was sewed securely to chair in
the cabinet, the circle formed and the
lights turned down. Soon the spirit of
the father of one of the company was
materialized, and reached out to shake
hands with his son, when the young man
near the cabinet grappled with the
messenger from the other world and
threw him to the floor. The believers
Immediately hurled themselves upon the
daring young man, upon which the other
skeptics took a hand in the affair, and
for awhile pandemonium reigned, with
the spirit believers and unbelievers rolling
on the floor of the dimly-lighted room.
The lights were at length turned up,
when, to the amazement of the believing
circle, the materialized spirit proved to
be the medium in an exceedingly airy
attire, while the clothing OFT Of which
he had slipped remained sewed to the
chair. The indignation was great among
the Spiritualists as well as others. A
warrant was sworn out for Wyman's
arrest for obtaining money under false
pretenses. A hearing was had before
Justice Baird, Wyman pleading guilty,
and in default of bail was remanded to
the county Jail to await the action of the
grand jury. Wyman is one of the most
noted mediums in the West, being the
chief medium at the recent Iowa state
spiritual camp meeting at Clinton.

ABOUT LIGHTING. Mention was made
in the Academy of Science, Paris, of a
house in Neufchatel, which had been
struck with lightning, and some one
suggested that some old iron stored
in the attic had attracted the electric fluid
M. Calledon Immediately secuted any
such idea. He said that iron had nothing
to do with attracting the lightning, but
had probably been cause of the burn
ing of the building after it had been
struck. The explanation of that is that
a combustible substance placed between
two conducting surfaces-in this case the
humid atmosphere and the pile of iron
is generally sure to take fire when an
electric current is passed through it from
one conducting surface to the other. The
lightning having struck the house it
found its way to the metal within and
ignited whatever combusiible material it
passed.
According to Cosmos les Mondes, the
Dumber of lightning strokes in Saxony
has increased steadily during the last %
years. The annual cases from 1859 to
1862 were 67; from 1863 to 1866, 81, and
from 1879 to 1882, 189. The destruction
of the forests is supposed SO be one of the
causes of this alarming increase.

Labor 10 Get knowledge.

We can not too much impress
upon the mind Of all that labor i.
the condition which God has i'm
posed on Us in every station of life;
there is nothing worth having that
can be had without it, from the
bread which the peasant wins wirh
the sweatof bis brow to the sports
by which the rich man must get
rid Of his ennui.
AS for knowledge, it can no more
be planted in the human mind
without labor, than a field Of wheat
can be produced without the pre-.
vious use of the pillow. There is,
indeed, this great difference, that
from chance Of circumstances il
may result that another shall reap
what the farmer sows; but in man
can be deprived whether by acci.
dent or misfortune, of the fruits Of
lie studies; and The liberal and
extended acquisitions of knowledge
which be makes, are all for his own
use, labor, therefore, dear boy, and
improve the time. In youth our
steps arc light, and our minds are
duCtile, and knowledge is easily
luid up, but if we neglect ourspring
our summers will be useless and
contemplate, our harvest will be
chat, and the winter of our old
age unexpected and desolate.
