their ail. Measures were about being a

so occurred at Stockton, the loss from
which was over 81,000,000.

TheHonesdaleDcm. of the 18th inst., says:
On Thursday last a Mr. Willson and wife,
of Salem township, in this county, got on
board a canal boat in this borough for the pur
pose of going to Hawley. The boat on which
they took passage started just before night
fall, and they found themselves in company
with three young men whom it subsequently
appeared were there to accomplish a most re
volting design. When the boat bad got per
haps two miles the young men left but they
soon returned. Soon after the captain, who
was somewhat intoxicated, left the boat, leav
ing Mr. Willispn.at the tiller. This wasbe
tween three and four miles from this borough.
Mrs. Willison wis in a berth in the cabin.
The young men drew pistols from their pock
ets, and while two of them prevented Mr.
Willson from interposing for the protection
of his wife, the third young man went below

Arcadia, N. Y., as sister-in-law of the tion to give satisfaction to all who may
Fox girls, or original Rochester knock-
ing mediums. Mrs. Culver says she was
let into the secret by one of these girls,
and declares that the raps are made by
the toe joint; and says, that in order to do
the rapping effectively, the feet must be
soaked in warm water, or otherwise kept
warm.
To corroborate this statement, I here
by certify, (and swear, if required,) that
there is a young lady of my acquaintance,
of the highest respectability, in this town,
who can make snapping noises similar to
the spirit rappings, as they have been '
uescriueu to iuu, uuu mux, wimoni tue am
of warm water, or heating her feet in
any way; that she can make these raps
by the hour, without any inconvenience ;
and has been in the habit of doing it for

to make these sounds seem to be on the
ceilincr or on atabln. but, T bnvp. nn ,miVif.

she could do so by a little practice a-
nioug strangers to her faculty, and not

tioners, and having them try several
