SPIRITUAL MANIFESTATIONS GOING A-HEAD!
Rev. Glendower S. Fibbs, of Salem, U. S., has been induced, by the extensive interest of the British aristocracy in the Spiritual Manifestations which have lately been introduced from America, to visit this country with a view to the exhibition of Occult Phenomena, on a scale which, owing to the prevalence of an illiberal spirit of persecution, has been hitherto unattempted in this or any other country since the era of Egyptian magic. He is accompanied by three Actually Possessed Mediums, who will utter responses, and afford correct information on doctrinal subjects, under the influence of Spirits. He has also, at the expenditure of a considerable sum, secured the co-operation of a genuine Wizard and Witch from Boston, Mass., who will prove the Reality of Sorcery and Magic by Ocular Demonstration, to the satisfaction of the most incredulous and determined sceptic.
The Wizard will evoke the Spirit of any Deceased Person who may be agreed upon by the Party Assembled, and compel it to appear in a visible form before the eyes of the Spectators, deliver predictions, &c. The Witch will perform the much controverted, but undeniable and surprising feat of Riding on a Broomstick; and to illustrate the power of Sorcery over the elements, will raise a Tempest on a small scale by Brewing a Storm in a Tea-pot. She will also exhibit the marvellous Phenomena of Transformation, by changing herself succesively into the shape of various animals: after which she will summon her Familiars, in the shape of Cats, Toads and Spiders, and finally, together with her Attendant Imps, Vanish up the Chimney. The Witch and Wizard are really and truly what they profess to be, having both of them effected a bonâ fide sale of themselves for 100 dollars a-piece to the Great Master, well known as the Largest Slave Owner out of the States.
The soirée to conclude with the Appearance of the Deuce himself, whom the Rev. Glendower S. Fibbs will raise in a magic circle upon the platform, entirely divested of supernatural terrors which might be calculated to alarm the timid and nervous. The circle will be so carefully charmed, as to preclude all possibility of his breaking through it, as effectually as if he were a bear on the top of a pole. The object of the Rev. G. S. F., being to convince the Public of the fact of Spiritual Existences, will, he trusts, meet with the Support and Approbation of serious and enlightened minds.
