The following queer story appears in the Pleasant Greek News. The writer is described as " a gentleman long resident on Pleasant Creek, and who always bore the character of an energetic, upright, conscientious, truthful man. He has for «ome time past been a resident in New Zealand." He says : — " I saved a claim here at the Thames through a spirit communication. It had been neglected, and was liable to be jumped, when I was told by spirit-writing that six men were coming at 9 o'clock the next morning on to the claim to jump the ground, with other particulars of their programme. I was there with the men I got, just in the nick of time to save the claim. The jumpers came exactly at the time I was told they would do, and they saw at once that they were completely checkmated, and looked sheepishly disappointed, and as white as ghosts when they saw we were too much and too strong to be bounced by them. You see by this that I am a spiritist"
