Furness had brought two folding slates, which could be fastened with a screw. Dr. Leidy and Mr. Furness and the Medium each held a double slate under the table. Mr. Fullerton asked a question as requested, but received no answer from the Spirits. Some scratching was now heard under the table.

There were about thirty persons present, of whom several seemed to be Mediums. The séance was held in the sitting-room in the second story a room separated by double doors from a smaller room behind.

Leidy put his hand on it, as the slate was not then examined. The Medium suggested that we ask mental questions; several did so, without result. The light was then turned up. Hands were joined.

A snug cabin will contain my necessary household to wit twelve shirts and a Bible. I will plant my corn, and tobacco, and vines on the fertile slope that looks to the south; my cattle and sheep shall browse the rest of the valley, while a few agile goats shall stand in picturesque positions upon the rocky monsters described by Dr. Leidy.
