PROFESSOR SPENCER'S LECTURE WHERE
ARE TUB SPIRITUALISTS.
i . Last Saturday night we dropped in at
! Charles Street Theatre to hear Pro Spen-
cet lecture, and see bis experiments. Al-
i ihotigb yet early, when we arrived the the-
i aire was already tolerably full, and being
, m a - a a ' m a at.
i iiiraty ngmea naa a aecweuiy mysterious
i appearance. The stag was arranged so as
r to give its utmost capacity for space, and
1 set round with chairs, upon which those
f who wished the experiments tried on them
t were afterwards seated.": There were two
! tables on the stage, a small mahogany one
t and another larger ot pine. At the ap-
pointed hour the gas was turned on, the
i theatre suddenly brightly illuminated, and
iuo jcciuici uinuo tua ipperauce. as su
imad verted upoo the doctrines of the spirit
oalists, declared it all to be a delusion, and
that the experiments be would perform
.would prove that the table tippings, tap
pings, &c, were physical phenomenas, and
tn ho way produced' by j the spirits of det
parted persons, i ne spiritualist were me
victims of a delusion. '
He. would jrive them credit for sincerity.
but he would demonstrate that they were
self-deceived beings thrown into an unnat
ural and abnormal state, in which,1 to a cer
tain-extent,' their cdnsciousiess was taken
frfcanhem; fne tendency of spiritualism
he denounced as aiming at the very foun
dations of revealed religion, and in proof of
this oe cited the spirit seer Davis, Judge
.Edmonds, Mr. Dexter, the llev, Mr. Amb
Ier and others.. Its ettecls tn various parts
of the country, he, said, bad been most la
mentable, breaking up families, ruining
men in their business, and sending scores
and scores lb the insane asylums. In con
clusion, the professor said that " whatever
apjntuarmedinms could do, he would do ;
but the playing on harps and pianos by in
visible musicians, Olid writing by spiritual
nanus, were things wmcn could oc done
only ia the dark, a circumstance of itself
abundantly testifying-they were deceits or
delusions. i
The professor then proceeded with the
experiments; by this time Ihe Theatre was
densely' crowded, all the -passages being
. rilled with persons unable to obtain seats,
and seemingly animated with) the greatest
interest and curiosity, such at least was the
expression' of every countenance. There
were Quite a; number of4 ladies- nresenL
though the greater part of the audience
were gentlemen. The professor now invi
ted upon the stage all who wished to try
. the experiments. Some thirty gentlemen
came forward and took their seats at the
back of the stage. The professor directed
. them to set without crossing their legs, in
an easy and unrestrained position and then
raising a cane or wo.ncr.wiin a long silver
ferule terminating in a smaller point of iron
he directed each one to fix his eyes upon
that point and keep them' there until he
dropped the wand, then to close their eyes
and keep them closed. The stage at this
- moment, and indeed the whole house, pre
sented a rather comical appearance, with
heads alf turned up and eys gazing upoi
iof point oi tne wana. ytiier a tew mi-
nutes he let the wand suddenly full, the
point striking smartly en the floor and in
stantly the eyes of all on the stage closed.
Having had our eyes fixed somewhat in
tensely on the wand as the point fell and
struck the floor, we ourselves felt a decid
ed electric shock, and we think probably
many ofthe audience felt it also. -
"Now at the stroke of the wand," said
the professor, "your heads will fall slightly
forward j and -; instantaneously with ihe
blow lihe heads of a majority of those under
the magnetic influence simultaneously fell
forward. ; This seemed to be a test. Some
nine or ten were found to be sufficiently af
fected, the remainder lefi the stage. The
professor then took a c young man fcpm
among them, : clapped 1 his , hand- on This
, shoulder and said, ' look at this stick," the
young man opened his eyes wildly and
stared at the stick, and wherever it turned
his eyes followed it as if fascinated an-
.- other followed the professor all about the
stage close to him wherever he went The
professor then directed all those affected
who were seated at the back of the stage
to twirl their hands, which thev did with
great rapidity to the great amusement of
the-audience, and this ; ridiculous motion
- they could not desist from making until the
professor removed the spell some of them
were then seated ion chairs in the front of
the stage, from which they could not rise
with most strenuous efforts until 'the pro
fessor permitted them to do so. The vain
efforts they made to rise from their seats
convulsed the audidence with laughter.
The names of some of the gentlemen ex
perimented on were here given, only one
of whom the lecturer declared be had ever
seen before, and that one the day previous
for the first time. Mr. Evans, of 128 Eden
streetjanother gentleman by the name of
Evans-Mr. Gibbons, of 39 Calvert street;
a- Mr. Porter; a young man named Goldcr,
of No. 127 Fayette streetjand subsequent
ly a Mr. Willis were among the number
The- wand was placed in the hands of some
of thera-aml tbej- could not let it go. One
young man's hands were placed on his
head and he could not bring them down.
The professor then set his subjects . to
swimming their hands up and down a
pump handle fashion, which action they
persevered in amidst the most uproarous
bouts of laughter from the audience,
whose risibilities were excessively provok
ed by the comicality of the motion. :
"There she is" exclaimed the professor,
there is the witch; point jour finger at
ifer," and instantly the index finger of the
right hand of all of thenr was stretched
ut The subjects were now all sitting in
a line at the front of the stage. v KShe is
going tQ do you some harm, said the pro
fetsortartd their hands still pointing for
ward with faces expressive of fear riM ter
ror, amid a perfect delirium of mirtL and
laughter among the audience. ' Each one
began to shove back in his chair, nor did
they stop until they reached thenar of the
Uure, and could go no further.
-The Drofesscrr a'raii'i. trrv.,i.t .r,
ward in line on these chair at tha front
stage ' I'here'i the witch,? aid he "ask
her, what do you want tnddame -wi'tch 1"
"What do you want tnadame witch ?n ttey
all exclaimed. ' "She is going to pile ice
down your hackstand freeze "you said
the professor. , Instantly there was a tur
ning upof coat collars, and a buttoning -p
of coats, and a shivering and shaking as if
they were indeed chilled to the marrow of
their bones. MTh ere is a little fire at your
feet," said the professor, and each one lean
ed forward, stretched out his hands,' and
warmed and rubbed Ihem by the imagina
ry fire. THe then caused them to fish, to
go through the motions of" pegging and
stitching boots, all of which they did in a
most grave and earnest manner.' -''
, "Here," said the professor, bere come
the ladies, and it was ludicrous to observe
the smoothing- of the hair, the pulling up
oi 'snin couars, ana ine. nxing man-
ceuvers, and the expectant air of the young
gentlemen among the subjects. - The la
dies in the audience seemed much pleased
at the proof of their influences
. Such is but a portion of ihe performan
ces, alt of which were of the most interes
ting and mtrth-exciting character, but we
must not omit to mention the concluding
experiment, which we certainly regard as
the most extraordinary of alL After some
tipping experiments with the smaller table,
the large pine table was brought forward
and two of the subjects were placed, "one
at either end of the table, to hold it still if
they could.- They seized hold in right
good earnest, but presently it began to
move, and in spite of all their efforts moved
around the stage, dragging them with it.
One of them put his leg - on the table to
keep it down, but in vain. A gentleman
from the audience came forward, caught it
firmly in his arms and braced his feet firm
ly against the floor, but in vain- he also
was dragged around the stage wiih it.
One of the tegs was here broken by the
violence of the movement.
He desisted, and three gentlemen from
the audience, two of them very athletic,
came forward and caught bold of it, but, it
was all the same, the table still ';. danced
nround the stage with them, and the strug
gle was continued until the table was bro
ken literally into fragments. Take it alto
gether, it is one of the most astonishing ex
hibitions we ever witnessed. We ask at
the bead of this article "where are spiritu
alists ?" Since writing it we understand
that some of them intend taking up the of
fer of Professor Spencer, of one thousand
dollars, and will prove that tables, can be
tipped without touch. If so, there is fun
ahead, and plenty of it. -
SENTENCE OF A MURDERER.
The Scene in Court. The Auhtim IV
Y.) American of the 8th inst, has the fol
lowing account of the arraignment and
sentence of John Fitzserald. convicted of
the extraordinary crime of murdering his
father, mother and brother.
1 he court room was crowded with spec
tators. The judges took their seats at the
appointed time, and the absorbing interest
ie ; Dy ail contributed to produce that
breathless silence e-enerallv-. observed nn
such occasions. The murderer was brought
in, and furnished with a seat within the
bar. and onlv a few feet from the henrh .
The District Attorney moved that the sen
tence oe pronounced, and tne mde told
Fitzsrerald to stand ud. He did m. and
all eyes were bent upon him
; A"wful as was the situation he occupied,
yet he seemed to be most unconcerned of
all those present He was dressed with
scrupulous neatness. It was evident that
be 'had bestowed minute attention to, his
costume. . His dark hair, which he wears
in great profusion, was combed and curled
with great care. His neck was enveloped
in a silk check scarf, the enrla i,f vhih
feU o low as to almost conceal his shirt
bosom. . His frock coal was spotless, but
toned in fronts and a white hankerchief
was visible in the side poeket A pair of
dark pants and well polished boots comple
ted his "outtr man.
He rose to his feet when reniiemed tn ln
so oy me jutige, ana bxed nis eyes firmly
upon him. y Ihe sentence was lonr. but
abl, appropriate and full of earnest appeals
to tne neart and tne conscience of the
wretched culprit He exhausted Ian
... o o
apa ingenuity in an attempt to arouse him
to a reai zing sense oi tne enormity of his
monstrous crime ana us awlul consequen
ces, but his efforts utterly, failed. While
alt the court room were nnvrerfnllv mnrA

not a few even to tears yet Fitzgen ld
stood unmoved throughout the trying scene.
WOl' a muscle moved. -Hut countenance
was bold, hardened in every feature, and
bis eye cold as marble. When asked if he
had anything to say why the last direful
penauy oi tne law snould not be passed
upon nun, he promptly and in a low voice
replied, "No 6ir not a word end When
the judge having sentenced him to be hung
on Friday, the 28th of March, concluded
wun an earnest appeal to Almighty God
in bis behalf. Fitzfferald said. "I am much
obliged to you sir 1" and took his seat Ut

A CERTAIN DISEASE.
When the misguided and improdeiit votary of
pleasure finds he has Imbibed the seeds of .his
painful disease,-it too often happens that anlil-tim-ed
sense of shame, or dread of discovery, deters
him from applying to those who, Irom education
and respectability, ran alone befriend him, delay
ing till the constitutional symptoma of this horrid
disease make their appearance. u h aa ulcerated
sore throat, diseased nose, nociural pains in the
head and limbe, dimness of siaht. deafness, nodes j
oh the shin bones and arms, blotches on the head,
face and extremities, progressing with frightlul ra
pidity, till at last the paUtc of the mouth or the
bones of the nose tail in. and the victim of this
awful disease becomes a horrid object of com mis
sera lion, till death puts a period to his dreadful auf
ferings, by sending him to "that bourne from
whence no traveller returns." To such therefore.
Dr. Johnston pledges himself to preserve the most
inviolable secrety and, from his extensive prac
tice in tbe first Hospitals ot Europe and America,
he csn confidently recommends ssfe and speedy
cure to the unfortuna'e victim of this horrid dis
ease. It is melancholy fact, that thousands fall
victims to this dreadful complaint, owing tolheun
