“Our circle lasted over three hours. Immediately at its dose we opened the cabinet door, and there sat the medium, rigid in form and deeply entranced, with all the fastenings, the sack, knots, twine, wax, &c., intact, precisely as we had left her I She confessed to no knowledge of what had taken place, having been unconscious throughout the entire seance.

“The following ladies and gentlemen authorized us to append their names to the foregoing statement, as containing in substance the facts witnessed by them on the occasion above referred to, occurring through" the mediumship of Mrs. Compton, all of which they are ready to testify to in any Court Justice: E. W. Lewis, M. D., Hon. George G. Freer, Surrogate Judge of Schuyler County, Mrs. Judge Freer, Mrs. Dr Lewis, Mrs. L. J. Carpenter, Mr. Zeno Carpenter, Mrs. S. M. Marriott, M. M.

To those who know these parties, it is needless to say that they are among the most distinguished, wealthy, and respectable citizens in that section of the State."

Here is testimony in abundance to confute all the conclusions that Prof. Anthony seems to have jumped to, in his too hasty investigation.

The puzzling question in this phenomena is, what becomes of the medium? Is she de-materialized? The latter is the explanation given by the spirits. The case is one of the most marvellous in the annals of the modern Spiritualism, but is paralleled in many of the accounts we have of ancient magic.
