A the admission fee was rather suall she succeeded in attracting sn average sized fouss from our most eurious residents. Tho perform ance va, opened by number of very com aon tricks which, however, were sufficient to humbug quito . few of the most cred ulous and then the main feature of the evening, the matsrislizing, was introduced. After everything about the cabinet and stage had been exsM- ined tho ligh,s were extinguishsd and the would-be medium proceeded to call up the spirits.

At its conclusion he had nothing st all to say but was % thoroughly brow beaten or bypnotized, or something or other that he followed the lady to the door as meek a . little kitten and without . sign of ones playIulness.
 After the Doctors disappsarsnee, ssvsrsl of his sids-partners tried ts ret their money refunded alss, but were entirely unsuccessiul. The medium evidently considered that the audience had received enough for one night, for she claimed . lack of inspir- stion and post ,oned the contiruancs of the ghost walk until another evep- iag.
