Wordell and family, of Lafayette, were on hand and a small fy.e of one dollar was charged. Sixteen of the faithful art unfaithful raised the necessary amount of the tiltliy lucre de npsited the same, and after sitting in the dark for awhile, listening to mournful strains on a musical instrument, the spirits were called up.’ Big Wolf an Indian spirit,crowded and terrorized the rest until he got to the front, with his long white robe and flowing hair and a face covered with an application of pliosphorous he commenced to converse with the audieiu e When he had finished and one of <be smaller spirits‘was about to come forth. One of the "Spectators, like about all the , BhilTtonites, imagined that it was a woman, fmd’as it was dark, he made a grab for the mediunl. Then some one turned on the lights and it was found that he had Mrs. Wordell. the wife of the spiritualist, clad in her night gown. When the rest found they had been , headed off, they set up a big howl for . ”1 he dollars they had expected to get the worth of in some way In the dark. A closer inspection revealed the furi t her fact that they had Wordell and the three children..who were expected to play a prominent part further on I iTuttye skbwv Afterthe ■midTrncp gnve- , a few groans, they ordered Wordell and family to depart from the city . within thirty minutes, which they did ] ; after pnwningsomerTf the paraphanalin that is necessary to charm flic spirits 1 with so they will become domle and ’’ may be carressed. Thus the faith ot the Hlufftonitesis badly shaken hi the belief of the return of tbe departed -spirit. -
