A SEANCE INDEED.

The Harbinger oj Light, a Victorian spiritualist publication, gives an account of a very remarkable seance at Sandhurst, to ■which, however, no strangers were admitted. It is stated that the “medium was driven from his seat on the table, aud borne along like a spear or dart, carrying with him three other sitters, who on striking a light were found huddled together in a corner of the room like a bundle of clothes. Two chairs were found with the arms aud legs all carefully taken out of their sockets, but not otherwise injured. The two latest sittings were . c til I more remarkable. At the first one the medium was deeply entranced, aud was repeatedly raised horizontally on the table. The chairman felt a hand, soft aud small, like a female hand, and warm, cover his, aud he was ton lied ou the shoulder, and his hair pulled. The circle at one time heard and saw what they supposed was the body of the medium fall on the table, but on the eha r.i an i-t ting that he felt his limbs there, aiioth«*r of ;be e:ivle said ‘no, sir, the medium is standing beside me, which was really found to be the case. The circle natiira'ly concluded that it must have been his double, or an apparition. The chairman was again tom bed by a hand, soft and warm as the Other, but ivith the lingers malformed, like as if pieces of putty were on tho points of thorn. The medium was afterwards found standing on his head ’upon the table, was made to turn a somersault, aud then bounded over the lieads of the far side of the circle, lighting on the ground without noise.” —Sydney Ilwahl,
