A Grand Performance.

On last Monday Prof. Leath- can, a hypnotist of wide reputa- tion gave a great performance, which was enjoyed by large audience at Echlin's hall. There are many peopls who do not be- lieve in hypnotisim, but every doubt was removed from the minds of those who were in at tendance last Monday night, when Prof. Leathean demonstrat- ed it to our people with some of our home boys. He made them act at his command and do things they would not begin to do un- less under the influence of this renowned hypnotist. T h e y would dance, sing, ride imagin- ary horses and do anything the Professor wished them to do.
 One young man was put under the influence of hypnotism and was laid in in the show window of Nichols & Hutson, where he remained all day Monday and was visited by hundreds of people. Some of them stuck pins through his jaws and some drove needles under his finger nails but not finch came from the hypnotised subject.
 Prof. Leathean will give anoth- CT performance tonight and is sure to be greeted with a packed house.
