BEVERLY, MASS, Dec. 4.-One of the
most remarkable recoveries ever reported
came to Charles S. Dennis of Beverly last
Sunday evening, anc his friends who saw
him then and have seen him since are firm
believers in miracles.
About four months ago Mr. Dennis had a
shock, and as q result his whole left side
was paralyzed. He was unable TO do any
work, and the services Of nurse were re-
quired constantly.
About month ago he began to improve
and was able to get around by the aid of
dead weight, and he could not lift his left
foot an inch from the ground.
For years past Mr.. Dennis friends have
claimed that he possessed a supernatural
gift, but he seldom exercised IL, and, know
ing MS condition and fearing another shock,
they urged him TO exercise that power on
himself which IL was claimed he possessed.
After much persuasion he consented, and
last Sunday evening he invited to his house,
26 Prospect street, several friends, includ-
ing Israel .I.efevere, proprietor of the Queen
hotel; Benjamin Larcorn, Jr., a leading
grocer, and DR.. o. f, Swazey. an old school
physician, who has been doctoring Mr.
Dennis during his recent illness, besides one
or two LADY friends.
The company sat down in darkened
room, and joined hands, placing them on
the table around which they sat In few
minutes Mr.. Dennis felt what seemed to be
hands rubbing his right leg and thigh.
Immediately they passed to the left leg
and side, and began TO rub them. So dis
tInct was the noise that all in the room
heard it, and as it proceeded DIR. Swazey,
who had hold of Mr.. Dennis hand, marked
O growing warmth and moisture where it
was cold and clammy before. AS the blood
began to circulate the same operation of
rub ing was extended to his throat. A few
minutes later the doctor was surprised to
hear Mr. Dennis speak in his natural tone
of voice, when ever since the shock his
articulation had been understood with
difficulty, as the organs of the throat were
paralyzed.
In about half an hour from the time they
sat down Mr.. Dennis broke the circle by
getting up and declaring himself well, and,
to the astonishment of all, he ran up and
down stairs three or four times, while one
of the company held the light.
From that time to this, he has felt no
effects of his recent illness, except a little
weakness in the left side. He caunot ex-
plain how the change came about.
PORTLAND, Me-, Dec. 4. "A most remark
