ALLEGHANY. N. Y, July "a, 1885,
The little neighborhood of Nine Mile,
in this town, is in a fever of excite
ment over the wonderful exhibitions of
healing made by the so-called faith doc
tor. the Rev. E. l.. Raymond, OF Mt.
levitt, Pa. Since the arrival of this
wonder-worker in their midst the farm
ers oil that section AVE gathered in
crowds to view his apparent miracles.
The lame have walked, the deaf have
heard, and all classes have had the
Gospel preached unto them. ms new
disciple of a mystic art Is described as
a man lacking even in ordinary comell-
ingly attractive, and his manner, even
to a casual observer, shows a deep So
licitude for his flock. He makes few
p~retenstons and seems to have only the
cure of those who come to him in nina
as a compensation.
Before his coming to this place, it is
reported that he Amounted and : by a
word raised from a death bed a man
upon whom already the damps of death
seemed gathering, and the patient walk
ed n for months was well and strong.
He recently cured a deaf man who mas
daughter of d well known lumber man,
and Marshal Wilder, of Nine Mile, have
been marvellously cured Of Formidable
sickness at his command. While his
work is condemned by many, yet the
results are broadly apparent, and his
process of cure is open to all. The most
skeptical look en- in wonder, do not be-
lieye, but hesitate to explain What they
see. While no one believes, in the broad
light of the nineteenth century, that
such works are done as by the disciples
ly by their means. argues strongly for
some as yet unknown power.
