MORE HEALING MIRACLES.

IE all (hat we read in (lie American papers is true, the power of healing is not confined to Mr Milner Stephen. Pcfering to Dr. Miller and the extraordinary cures he effected the “New York Herald” says:—“ So great became the 'Doctor’s’ reputation that crowds Hocked to sec him every day. They came from far and near, some from distant States, riding 00 miles over rough mountain roads from the nearest station.

Miller had to go where the hundreds that Hocked to him might bo housed and fed. A our correspondent heard that he was moving so taking (he train for Glade Springs, he intercepted Miller there on the famous Tuesday night when the healer, tired from a GO-milo journey, arrived, ft was intended that he should get into the village quietly, and rest without disturbance. Ho such consummation. The town was packed at 10 o’clock that night with the halt, the lame, and the blind. It seemed as though the alarm bell had waked them in the farms and hamlets, and called together an excited jamming crushing mass. People poured into every room and crowded every hall. ‘ M iller ! Where is he ? Send him here! There ho goes!’were expressions of eagerness heard everywhere. Miller, never excited, always in good humour, passed among the throng of people, dispensing his marvellous gift of relief and palliation at two o’clock, a.m. found the crowd no less dense, while new comers told of scores of ethers who were on the way from the woods and hills.” A writer in the “ lleligio Philosophical Journal” remarks upon (he foregoing as follows : ■ —• 1 When my friends who read the account speak to me of it as a remarkable thing, I quietly smile and say “ Why, that is no wonder; there are thousands amongst us spiritualists who can do the same thing. Did j r ou never hear of the French Zouave, Jacob, who astonished all Paris by his wonderful gift of healing?’’’ I thank God, however,that lie occasionally raised up in a benighted neighbourhood such a medium as this Dr Miller, who dispenses his gift without mone3 r and without price, and gets the honour of a special notice in a grand journal like the ‘ Hew York Herald.’ ”
