SHALERSV1LLE,

Christmas has come and gone, leaving behind
we trust. naught but pleasant memories Of good
deeds and loving hearts made happy In many
homes in our vicinity family gatherings were
held, but one has seen fit to favor us with
any items we will take the liberty of sponging
the account of a few that happen to our mind.
There was a Christmas tree at the Disciple
Church Saturday evening, heavily laden with
presents Consisting of great variety of articles
too numerous to mention. Among them were
two gold watches and several other nice .arti-
cles The pastor. Rev. Davis. added much to
he impressiveness as well as to abe sociability
of the occasion
Mr.. and Mrs. Isaac Tozer entertained the III.

mUNDANE MEANDE RINGS.

CLEVELAND. DEC 18th, 1892.
EDITORS DEMOCRATIC Press: Just moment
before the alarm was turned in for the great
Armory fire. which burned the Armory and de-
stroyed nearly all the military stores of CleVe-
land, the director of the fire department received
letter, mailed early that morning. warning him
to beware of great fires attended with explosions.
The letter was signed Clairvoyant," It was
scarcely perused and discussed before the alarm
was turned in. the fire engines and apparatus
were laundering to the scene of the fire. and the
heavy explosions of fixed ammunition began.
Ii this was not incendiary fire. and many
think it was not. then this letter was quite re
markable warning.
The following we'll authenticated occurrence
happened some thirty or forty years ago. At the
beautiful little village of Avon, near Rochester.
N. Y. little child sprang up and cried out in
the night. saying that his little brother (whe
| in st. Louis) was burning to death in a hotel.
The fact was that that night, and at that hour.
a hotel fire was raging in St. Louis. and seven
persons. think. were burned to death. and the
first news that came brought the intelligence
that the little brother of the Avon child was in
deed one of the lost, and who perished in that
fatalfre. There seems to be something ma rvel-
Gus in this. Who can explain it?
Some years since a Clev Gland man lost horse
and was utterly unable TO trace or md 1t. After
exhausting all efforts he finally applied to
Clairvoyant in mere desperation. but not expect
ing any favorable result. She however promptly
informed HIM that his horse had gone out on Lo .
rain St., past the city limits and traced its pro-
gress to point in Grafton, Lorain Co., where she
said it was pasturing along certain side of GER
tain road. The man took the first train for tn,
locality. and in two hours had recovered his
horse near the point indicated. and from the bes
time of the revelation.
Not wishing to bore the gentle reader, will
not at this time relate very peculiar experienc
of my own. once upon time when [ conrulted
clairvoyant. ButI will say that there are very
plain indications that the ordinary mortal ha
not begun to fathom all the hidden mysteries o
the human mind When all. or a large part
fully known it will not be necessary to take it TO
granted that all demonstrations do not und er-
stand come from dlsembodied spirits. The human
mind is mystery. not yet half explored.
Being an agnostic. neither affirm nor den,
many disputed points. It is easy to be deceived
and am satisfied that in spirit communica
tions" as in many other beliefs (while the major
ity are no doubt sincere and honestl there is
mountain of humbug on molehill of fact
. Nevertheless the world owes much to the advo
: Gates of Spiritualism. in that they have declare
. for the freedom of belief and the freedom c
\ speech in religious matters. and thus they hav
: done much for the emancipation of thoughts
y much in fact that dare say am not believe
