A Second SchIRtter.

Bradley G. Newell, blacksmith of this
place, thinks he has a destiny to fulfil, a
place among benefactors. He claims to
cure people by the laying on of hands, by
magnetic force or some other power, which
he believes comes from God. The spirit
ualists claim him as one of their number,
but he says he does not believe in spiritual
ism and does not know anything about it.
He knows he has power and can heal, and
is ready and willing to attempt the most
obstinate case and the most fatal disease.
He does not claim to heal in every case !;
sometimes he can cure fully and perfectly,
some cases partially, in some only tempo
rarily ease pain. He is sure he can in
every case do good. He has had thousands
of patients in the last four months, and in
many instances makes no charge. He is
frequently called to surrounding towns and
to Shelburne Falls to treat the sick, and
many are the expressions of surprise at his
wonderful power. How long he will hold
this power, whether it will decrease or in
crease, he makes no claim to be able to de-
