Tho Bmlgcpoft (Ut.) Farmer sa}'s tbat city posSöi&eS a wonderful materializing moilinm. The wtory is as follows : "It was only a few weekfl ugo tbat tho peréoB to whom we rëfer beoame conscious of his peculiar power, but sinco lus discovery he liad continuad to excrciso them and thcy have rapidly devoloped. Tüuk far the scances havo been held in the presence of a small party of his acquaintancep, in a darkened room, wfiich, with the exception of a email tabte, is utterly destitute of fnrniture. No believer in spiritmalism had yet attendcd these sittiugs, so that it cannot be said that any of his audience were nuduly prepared to givo credence to the gonnincness of the manifestation, and yet all of the spectatois with whom we 'have conversed are eonvinced that there was no collusion or trickcry in tho effects produced. One of Ihe remrtrkable feats performed by the spirits is Ihe bripgïng I upon the table a sapply of fresh tropical flowers. Tho flowers exhale a beautií'ul fragranco, are fresh with dew, and of ; 'varietics which cannot be produced in this vicinity. Tho mémbers of tho cirelo tho other cvoning were also regaled with splendid cigars droppod upon the table by spirit visitors, and the medium himself was rcfreshed a day or two ngo with ! a píate of ice cream furnishcd by the same mysterious agency. Tho medium asta :dso materializo the sptótfl so that they become visible to those in tbc room. i The spirits also play on musical j mente and write messages on the wall and table, which to tho ordinary eis are mere hieroglyplúos, but to tbe , spiritual visión of tho medium are roaïly intelligible.
