Tho mediumi or their next friends usually
introduce the (*raises, by inquiring if. any
spirits are prelenl, and if so please to rap.—
Raps generally follow. They then sometimes
"try the spirits' by snying. if these are the
spirits please 'to! rap three times. Rap, rap,
rap. Then the Auestioner remarks, the -spir
its are here. Questioner then says, will tho
spirits converse through the Alphabet I Rap,
rapt means no. But three euces/ive raPs, as
rnp, rap, rap, means yes. The conductor or
master of ceremonies, then slowly names the
letters of the alphabet,' from A - to Z, repeating
the same till there are no raps, While it is ex
pected the spirits will rap at each letter requir
ed, in such order, that letters, words, and sen
tences eon be joined, expressive of the opin
ions, emotions or wishes, of the spirits. It is
observable that the spirits do not all fail at
the same points, that they aro more readily
," called up" by night, than by day, and that
they are in close proximity-to the mediums.—
But it is worthy of remark, however, that the
mediums claim to be entirely Passive, in the
production of the raps, and other demonstra
tions, and if anything be said, or done, indica
tingthat theY!render "aid and comfort," they
are instantly ire " high dugeon" and the spirits
frequently leaVe the room, "like children and
thoughtless fools" without waiting to thy
good night. Sometimes the mediums can not
call them ult at others they introduce them
selves contrary to the commonly received no
tions of the rules of politeness, by moving ta
bles, chairs, rapping, drumming tunes, and are
said to have sung songs with such rythmie and
melodic accuracy as to delight and charm the
hearers. Though We frequently meet With
singers and have something of an ear and lip
for music, we have never been permitted to
listen to any of the musical demonstration's,
except the drumming, of which the pattings at
the " Syracuse-Jerry Rescue" would be a tol
erable good imitation, of-the rythmical rela
tions. Sometimes the gloom of night is in
creased by thumps on head beards . of medi
ums, causing such sorrow and terror, to some
of the dwellers in this "vale of tears," that
whole families are said to lodge in one room,
for greater safety against what they regard as
the intrusions, of .the spirits. It is believed
the spirits have bodies, in proof of which they
state that when they open the door, some go
out, while others Come- in, and we, have no
doubt, these polite attentions, (of opening the
door for ingress and egress) are sometimes ex
tended to them. But if any are known or pus:
fleeted of being inclined to obey the injune-,
tien of inspiration, viz: "Beloved, believe not
every spirit but nil the spirits whether they
are.of God," : they aro pronounced "uncongen-,
mai," and the spirits after spending a little time
in rapping that they can not rap, are silent till
the unbeliever retires, (if not from the spirits
br the world) at least from the presence of the
medium. .1
We are aware that objections to statements,
do not prove them untrue. Still we deem it
most unfortunate for the spirit rapping cause.
that.the information conveyed comports exact
ly with - 4W opinions, ignitrance,"or intelli
gence of theMeditims.. Likewise, that when
they condescend to use the alphabet all the
defects of the mediums in orthography and
language, are as prominent as they would he,
if the spirits should leave the whole transac
tion, entirely to the discretion and judgnient
oftheMtdiums. And in cases where the me
,-diums do not know how to spell,:the,
stoutly refuse to have anything to de with the.
twenty.six propositions called tho English Ai-
Phabet, however, much, they may be impor
tuned. They have, however, done: a thriving
'retail 'business in the alphabetical department,
in one locality by informing the people,. that
the body of a,deceased lady doposited in the
grave yard at Dimockwis disinterred and ta
ken to Binghamton N. Y. for dissection and j
afterwards sold to the Montrose Doctors for
fiftydoliars. Tho.spirit of the deee4sed lady,
through ,the 'medium, requested her father to
appoint a judicious committee of six to inves.
tig.ite the Matter. Said committee' were
rested to proceed to the grim and listen fora .
rap, to be given at precisely 'twenty initiates
before eleven o'cloi•k A. M. and finish opera
tions In twenty minutes, yhile the populace
were not to approach within aiirescribed num
ber
s of feet, - ioerwiSe; if the WY was not
found, the spirits intimated, they'should. give
no further. information. • . "
The preliminaries being nicely arranged,
four of the committee (we thinkthere was no

pecting my house here, the best of which is
that I can leave it where it is,and yet bo corn

house faces duo North. Its front windows
look toward the river Merrimack. . But then
the river seen
-turns to the, SOuth, so that the
Eastern windowlooks toward the liver also:—
But the river has sckdeepened its ehannel in
the stretch of it, in Molest• fifty.years, that. we
cannot see its waters, without approaching it,
or going back to the higher •lands behind - , us.
The, history of.this change is of considerable
importance to the the philosophy of the streams.

thing of the theory of the phenomenon; but I
doubt whether tho World will ever be heat
