'The audi ence numbered about two hundred and fifty persons. Miss Hunt was lint given a stout walking cane and placing a hand so as to barely clasp the end, gentlemen from the audi ence were requested to bold it. The cane soon became so charged with the strange power that as many as could grasp it could not bold it. The experiment was tried repeatedly with any number of peraoos,fro(n one to seven, grasping the cane, and the power only varied in its apparent strength but at no time failed to be manifest. Several canes were broken in the attempts made to hold them. A chair was next experimented with, Miss Hnrst laying her hands lightly upon some part of ft, .while stttn attempted to hold it, hut the power again manifested itself and baffled effort. She held in each hand a twig with loops formed by bending their ends. These automatically, without ; effort from her, came together and ; interlocking, with violence were broken instantly into the smallest pieces.

Gin House Burned. On Friday night, 28th of Decem ber, a gin boose on Mr. G. W. Feath ers ton’s place, a few miles from town on the Cave Spring road, was burn ed, having been fired by an incendi ary. The house contained about two thousand bushels of cotton seed, bed sides a lot of tools, all of which were lost. The fire occurred about twelve o’clock. Awhile before, some par ties passing the road saw a light burning in the house, but supposed some one of the place was there, and did not investigate. Before the house was consumed it was discovered that a window had been prized open. The incendiary, it is supposed, threw a torch into the midst of the cotton seed and left. Municipal Election.
