After waiting, I suppose, five minutes, Bertha said, * Find papa.* Immediately the table moved across the floor of the dining-room, through tho hall, and into the parlor, making straight over tothearmchair.whenitbowedover and stood on its top, throwing the three claws of the leg right over the back, as much ns to say ‘you’re behind the chair.*, This incident puzzled the household exceedingly. Discover ing such intelligence, wo followed it up with many questions, and were often startled by the replies some ' of theso referring to tnattir* which occurred many _ years before.
