The journals of Gard report also that in the vicinity of Barjac, an honest cultivator and his wife have for some time past been troubled at nights, not only with noises, but with upsetting of furniture, stripping off of bedclothes, and the appearance of phosphoric lights in their chamber; when they have tried to ascertain from what the lights proceed they have been struck even to receiving bruises, proving to them that they have not been under illusion. They have been to the church and paid for masses and for their house being exorcised, but to no effect. There is a Spiritualistic circle at Pont St. Esprit, not far off, which, a correspondent writes, is arranging to inquire into the affair with the aid of its mediums.
