THE HOUSE OF THE SPIRITUALIST.—PRESENCE OF ELECTRICITY.

1507. Koons’s house is located on the south-east angle of a sharp

ridge, some few rods below the edge of the ledge, and where, when the

native trees occupied the ground, the lightning was wont to make frolic

among them; and where it still likes to sport. The stove-pipe above the

spirit room was burst off, and a number of times during the sitting of

the mediums, the electric sparks were seen to play over the wires of

the spirit table.
