Alt nntuual eensation has barn
created In the Collartown neigh
borhood in tbia county, by the leata
inexplicable of a young daughter
Of Mr. Wo. B. Hursk.Run.ors be.
ing afloat of her performance*, in
company tilth Dr. M. P. Liddell
visited her borne on Thursday eve.
ning 1**1, for the purpose of giving
the reader* of the Advertiser acme
account ol what: ,oqr investigations
of the matter might develop.
In' a -large,'square, two-story
bouse, b'nilt after the ante-bellum
Southern idea of coinfort, set (Tell
back in a grove of oaks running .up
to the big road, dwelt Mr. Hurst.
We were kindly received and made
known our mission, and scion were
gratified by the appearance of the, f , .
young lady. MIsaXAhtla between wM Garfield in 1880. We want a
fifteen and sixteen years of age, the
picture of health find physical
strength, and every movement
show* a daah of nature unusual,
(Jpon a request to ’manifest some
or the newly developed powers, she
arose and placed her tiro hands on
j . the back ol a common chair, in a
IP few minute* the ebair began to
move, first slowly, then gradually
more violently. The doctor was
requested to bold the chair. In at
tempting to do bo be lound the task
untirely too great, and was Joined
by tile writer, but the clmir, never
theless,. 1 still moved, when Mr.
Hurdt reinforced ds, to apparently
m cflecl. In fact, with all force at
our command used In the object,
the three found it impossible to
still the resile s ebair. snd aban
doned the task atltttiirell exhaust
ed by tbo efforts. There was appnr
cntly not a particle qf. .ptiysi?*!
force used by the young'lady, her
hands merely resting rather care
lessiy on the bibk'ol the clmir,and
alter twenty minutes of the exer
cises rcci.cd seemed not the least
exhausted. We were laid that on
a previous occasion four of the
stoutest men in the neighborhood
had found It Impossible to hold the
chair, it so far resisting their- ef
forts ns to more than once raise
one of the cumber off the flooi^ A
very large ta&tly bedstead Hood
with the head back in the corner or
the largo room. On the foot of the
bed the young lady placed her
hands lightly, ant] after a few min
utes the heavy object began to
move, and gradually becoming
moro restless was soo'n moving
about the room at a speed so that
the young lady had to assume
a “double quick" to retain her
position as guide. Miss I.nuru
Wimberly, a cousin of Miss Lulu,
states thui recently aftur the two
Imd together retired for Lbc night,
she heard a thumping : noise in the
head board pf the bed, which she
thought to be produced by her
companion with her lingers, and so
requested her to desist, as she de
sired to sleep. Mins Lula protest
ed innocence, and .the two then
wondered, as the sounds were more
audible. A playful remark that it
should “strike Imr" caused a sen
sation like a slight shuck felt by
Miss Wimheily - about ' the face.
The sound was then caused to mani
fest itsell where commanded about
the bed, and the bed finally coni
inandcd to movc.aml to lliu intense
wonder of the occupants, rolled
briskly across the room. This plie-
noinciml circumstance, ills claim
ed led to subsequent experiments.
We wem told by wituvsses that on
a particular occasion recently while
the young lady was laying with
her form across tllc.bed.Mhe thought
of some favorite air when itu music
emanated strangely Irons the head
board ol the bca, and was beard by
moiu than a half dozen persons
sitting about the room. On anoth
er oucasion, un uncle, a man above
the ordinary weight, sat in a chair,
bis lect on tbe rounds while the
young lady 1 placed a hand wilb nn
nodergrip on the upper bock of the
chair and lifted bleu a distance
across the floor. Other feats of
the young lady a* strange almost
as those related might be related,
but tbeabovc-mentionednrc enough
to complete the atory of her wonder-

He’s wore the same suit of black for fif

to treat n minister so, and; they decided
to give him n littlo somethin’. So they
clublied together andfadk him over s
barrel of flour, a set of cliiuy, and a sil

Of course tlio minister and his wife

they was admirin’ tlio things again
when there come a knock at the door

’em all to ’em. _ They examined ’em
pretty close, w eighed .the cake basket,
tapped tlio china, and iniii tho Horn
