Two IlArs too Few. —A gentleman some
what advanced in life, who was the other ]>art
of a strong minded lady, had great faith in
spiritualism. His wife o? only proclaimed her
infidelity, and with the consistency which of
ten forms a part of the female eh meter for a
long time refused to be eo .rioted. Her hus
band induced from her a promise to make one
of a circle at the resitV. nee of a celebrated me
dium, upon condition, however, that r.he should
precede her husband in entering the house,
and that nothing should be said o done by
him, which should disclose to the “medium”
the fact that any connexion ex’s ed between
them.
The wife, on entering, found two gentlemen
in waning- and the aforesaid medium. Soon
after this the husband came in, and a circle
was formed, the lady, of course, taking prece
dence over the others. She ascertained that a
spirit was present who woo’d communicate
with her, and was desired to a-k any test ques
tion which she might think proper. After
having been informed that she must put her
questions so as to have them answered affirma
tively by 3 raps, or negatively by one rap.
She questioned as fallows :
‘‘Am I married ? ’
Hap, rap, rap !
“Have I ever been married but once?”
11 a p !
“Ho-.v long have I been married ?”
Hap, rap, rap, tap, rap, rap, rap, rap ! (“8
yeaiv”) said the medium.
“Have 1 children ?”
Rap, rap, rap !
“How many ?’’
Map, rap, rap, rap ! (‘ 4,”) said the medi
um
The lady wa* somewhat startled at the cor
rectness if these answers, ami freely confessed
it. With a radiant face, the limb nd then
‘braced in,’ and asked the following test ques
tions:
‘Am I married ?”
Rap, rap, rap !
‘How long have I been married V
‘Rap >-ap, rap, rap, rap, rap, rap, rap. !
‘Strange coincidence !’ murmured the medi
um.
‘Have 1 children V
Ran, rap, rap !
‘Wha-a-t V
Rap. rap!
‘Rood Rod ! How many’?’
Rap, rap ! !
The wife swooned, and the husband, when
last seen, was walking on the Jersey flats. To
this day the lady professes to disbelieve— N.

Ki.oQcr.XT Extract. —Tim following extract
is from a work entitled ‘The Old Iloire by the
River
“Go preach to the dead, ye who deny the im
mortality of the affections. Go reason with
taees, or lulls, or images of wood, cr w th your
own motionless, lifeless, icy souls, ye who be
lieve that because there is no marrying yonder
there shall be embracing, or because we may
not nse the gentle words, ‘my wife,’ wo may
not clasp these sanctified forms in our Inly
arms! I tell you, man, that immortality
would be a glorious cheat, if vvir.li our clay died
all our first affections. I tell yon that anni
hilation would be heaven, if I could believe
that when my head at length rests on its coffin
pillow, and my lies sink to the silence of death
these loving eyes will never look into mine
•again, this pure clasp never be around my neck,
this holy caress never bless me more.
Power or the Human Eye — Jeorgia Pitt,
afterwards Lord Rivers, declaring that he
could tame the most ferocious animal by look
ing at it steadily. Lord. Spencer said, “Well,
there is a mastiff in the court-yard hero which
is the terror of the neighborhood; will you try
your powers on him ?” Pitt agreed to do so,
and the company descended into the court
yard. A servant held the mastiff by a chain.
Pitt knelt; down a short distance from the uni
mul, and stared him sternly in the face. They
all shuddered —At a signal given, the mastiff
was let loose, and rushed furiously towards
Pitt, then suddenly chocked his pace, seemed
confounded, ami, leaping over Pitt’s head, ran
away, and was not seen for many hours after.
During one rs mv visits to Italy,l was walking
a little before my carriage, on the road not far
from Vicenza, I preeeived two huge dogs
bounding towards me. I recollected what
Pitt had done, and trembling- from head to
foot, I had resolution enough to stand quite
still and eye them with a fixed look. They
gradually relaxed their speed from a gallop to
a trot, came up to me, stopped for a moment,
mid then went back again. —Rogers Tabic

Danger oe Hoop Wearing in a High
W ini). — During- the wind on Saturday after
noon, fsays the Detroit Advertiser,) and while
the dust was circulating so thick that no one
■could see nice than the length of an eyelash
in front, a lady, dressed in the most elegant
style, incoming round one of the corners was
lifted off her feet by the force of the wind ac
ting on the great expanse of surface which she
presented to it Tiie wind unfortunately did
not set Iter down in the same position in which
she was before being taken up, but turning her
gently on one side, it laid her endwise on the
side-walk, where she commenced a series of
astonishing gyrations, rolling over on the
hoops of the skirts, and exhibiting a species of
locomotion which is not generally appreciated
and which may come into fashion with high
winds and large circlets of light, material.—
As the lady thus rolled over, several poisons
were knocked down and passed over by the
lady and the hoops, without ever knowing
that anything had bent them. Fortunately for
the lady, the dust and the astonishment of the
people out of doors permitted but a few so
witness this new method of getting along in a
stiff breeze and keeping up full rail attiie same
time. As we came round a corner we found
the lady wedged between a lump post and a
hydrant,and immediately as-ist and her to ari up
right instead of a ree unbent position.

Kansas Affairs.
Washington, Dec. B.—Judge Lecompte, of
Kansas, has been removed, and it is rumored
that Jas. O. Harrison, of Kentucky, will re
eeive the appointment.— Const.
Ifr&p The Washington City Star, of 6th in

of the Sumreme Court, has had an attack of
paralysis, turns out to be wholly untrue. While
presiding at court in his district, not long since,
he was taken sick and had to retire for the day.
He is now as well as ever, and attends daily to
his duties at the Supreme Court in this city,”
The Florida Indians —The Savannah News
says : “All accounts concur in reporting that
prospects ar 3 very favorable for a speedy and
peaceful removal of the Indians, under the
prompt and energetic measures of Gen. Har
ney.”

C R Tl Office, Vuudalin, June 21. I'm!.
Professor Wood - Dear Bit .• I take pleasure in bearing
j voluntary testimony to the excellence of your Hair Resto
| rative. Three months ago my hair was very grey. It is
now a dark brown, (the original color.) smooth and glossy.
The only application I have made to it, has been the Hair
Restorative, prepared by you, and which, from the result
in my own case, 1 can most cordially recommend to others.
Respectfully yours, EDWARD WALCOTT.
Vincennes, la.. June 21. 1*53.
Prof. O J Wood : Aw you are about to manufacture and
vend your recently discovered Hair Restorative, i will state
for whomsoever it may concern, that 1 have used it, ami
j known otiieis to use it—that 1 have for several years been
in the habit of using other Ilair Restoratives, and that 1
find yours vastly superior to any other 1 know. It entirely
cleanses the head of dandruff, and with one month's pro
per use, will restore any person's hair to the-original youth
ful color andtexture, giving it a healthy, soft and glossy
appearance ; and all this, without discoloring the hands
that apply it. or the dress on which it drops. 1 would
therefore recommend its use to every one desirous of having
a tine color and texture to hair. Respectfully yours,
WILSON KING.
St. Louis, Jane 29. 1'53.
Prof. Wood : As you are about to prepare and vend your
recently discovered Hair Restorative, and as you request my
opinion of it, 1 wif! state that my hair was, a few months
j ago, very grey, and after using two bottles of your Hair
| Restorative, it resumed its original color, and since its ap
! plication, all cl and ruff'has disappeared from my head.ami
I I have been troubled with no disagreeable itching of the
scalp. lam satisfied that those who use it, will unt regret
it, as it gives the appearance of having been recently oiled.
I am prepared therefore, to recommend its use to all who
are desirous of having a beautiful head of hair.
I am, sir, yours, etc., 11 L STEWART.
Cincinnati, 0., Feb. 10, 1854.
Prof. Wood—Dear Sir : Mv hair had for several years,
been becoming prematurely grey, accompanied by a harsh
ness which rendered the constant application of oil neces
sary in dressing it. When 1 commenced using your Hair-
Restorative. a bout two mont s ago, it was in that condi
tion ; and having continued its use till within the last three
weeks.it has turned to its natural color, and assumed a
softne.-sami lustre greatly to be preferred to those produced
by the application of oils or any other preparation I have
ever used. I regard it as an indispensable article for every
lad}’ s toilet, whether to be used as a Hair Restorative, or
for the simple purpose of dressing or beautifying the hair.
You have permission to refer to me all who entertain any
doubt of its performing all that is claimed for it.

Prof. O J Wood : Allow me to attest the ~- irtues and
magic powers of your Hair Restorative. Three months
since, being exceedingly grey, ] purchased, and soon com
menced to use two bottles, and it soon began to tell, in re
storing the silver locks to their native color, and the hair
which was before dry and harsh and falling off, now became
soft and glossy, and it ceased falling ; the dandruff’ disap
peared. and th” scalp lost all the disagreeable itching so
annoying before, and now 1 not only look, but feet young
again. Respectfully yours, etc..
