A STRANGE PHENOMENON.
. "There ore more things," etc. A correspondent of "Light" tells the following experience on the authority of a lady who was present: —" The eldest son of a family with whom she was staying, had returned from a long residence in India, and was soon afterwards seriously ill. It was on the night of his death "that the incident happened. About an hour before he died, sliose who were in the room at the time, a doctor, the village clergyman, and my friend, saw upon the ceiling the abadow of a man's hand grasping a daggier. The
shadow moved aero** the ceiling and pointted with the dagger toward* the dying man's head. Thinking that it must be a shadow cast by some object, everything movable, was "displaced, including tbe lamp itself. Tbe shadow, "however, remained motionless; then slowly faded away." "Light" asks for the names and addresses of the doctor and c_>rgvman who witnessed the phenomenon. Wili_|it get them?
