His controls would take him day after day during the summer and autumn of 1873 to the river bottoms, and throw him upon an overhanging bank, in a deep trance, and keep him there nearly all day. On one occasion I went to hunt for him, agreeing to meet him at the river in the evening. I found his coat, vest and hat on a stump, but Winans was nowhere to be seen. I feared he was drowned; but casting my eyes upward I discovered him lying full length on a large limb of a huge black walnut, fully fifty feet from the ground, in a dead trance. How he got there I could never divine. It was fully forty feet to the first limb. Imagine my surprise, when he rose to a sitting posture, put his hands on the huge rough trunk, and slid slowly to the ground, apparently only touching the tree, save with the palms of the hands, and his toes. After two years of this kind of development, he opened out into one of the most remarkable clairvoyant, clairaudient and test mediums, that I have ever met, and his powers have steadily increased ever since. I have had sittings with Slade, Foster and Mansfield. Winans has all their phases, and if I am not mistaken will soon distance them all.}}

	...		On Monday, last week, the Rev. Sir William Dunbar, Bart., departed earthly life in the seventy-seventh year of his age, at the rectory at Dummer, near Basingstoke. For many years he took a warm interest in Spiritualism; on one occasion he presided over a public inspirational lecture by Mrs. Tappan-Richmond at St. James’s Hall, and his name has been several times printed in these pages with his authority as a witness of the phenomena occurring at various ''seances. ''His sermons were largely imbued with principles generally prevalent among Spiritualists, and he was a close student of the best literature connected with the movement.

			Mrs. Makdougall Gregory writes to us:— “On Monday of last week my friend of more than thirty years passed into the higher life, Lady Dunbar had written to tell me he was gradually sinking from extreme weakness. On Tuesday morning I said to my intimate, the Countess Wachmeister, that I knew I should hear of something sorrowful having occurred, because when I awoke a large black cross was presented before my eyes, as is always then the case. Accordingly, in the course of the day Miss Dunbar wrote on black-edged paper, Baying:—‘The black attached to my paper will let you know our dear invalid has passed away,’ and was now reaping the reward of his useful and holy life. She told me this had happened on the preceding day, but gave no details.”

			The Rev. Sir William Dunbar was the sixth baronet of that name. He was born in 1804. He married the daughter of Mr. George Stephen of London. He was a master of Arts of Oxford University, and was at one time minister of St. Paul’s, Aberdeen. He was rector of Walwyn’s Castle, Pembrokeshire, from 1864 to 1875, and well known and respected in Haverfordwest and throughout the county, as everything which a conscientious and pious country pastor should be. In 1875 he became rector of Dummer, Hampshire. For some years past he had been ailing from gradually increasing loss of strength.

	...		On Thursday, last week, the mortal remains of Mr. H. D. Jencken were interred at Brompton Cemetery; the day was a wet one, and as his demise was not then generally known, and as he had often expressed a wish that his funeral should be as simple and quiet as possible, but few friends were in attendance. In the first of the two mourning coaches were Mrs. Jencken and her two boys, aged respectively eight and seven; Dr. Jencken, of Victoria Hospital, Netley, nephew of the deceased; and Mr. Enmore Jones. In the second coach were Dr. Nethercliffe and Dr. Fortescue Ingram. Among the few other friends in attendance were Mr. Ignatius Williams, Barrister-at-Law; Mr. E. T. Bennett; Mr. A. Scott, secretary of the Association for the Codification of the Law of Nations; and Mr. W. H. Harrison.

			The service was in accordance with the ritual of the Church of England. The coffin-plate bore the inscription “Henry Diedrich Jencken, November 25th, 1881. Aged 53.” At the close of the service the friends present took a last look at the casket containing the remains of their friend, on which a wreath of white flowers had been placed, after which they slowly departed.

	...		{{Style S-Small capitals\|A Weighty Question}}:—The Petersburg (Virginia) ''Index-Appeal, ''prints the following: “Miles Darden, probably the largest man on record, born in North Carolina in 1798, died in Henderson county, Tenn., Jan. 23, 1857. He was 7 feet and 6 inches high, and in 1845 weighed 871 pounds. At bis death his weight was a little over 1000 pounds.” How many mediums would it require for that spirit to draw sufficient matter from to appear in full form?
