MEsMERIsM DRNouHcED.--The Catholic
Herald, Of this city, copied lately an ella
borale article on Mesmerism, from the
London Tablet, the leading Catholic paper
in England II is from the pen OF BIZ
shop, aud perhaps foreshadows the treat
ment which this thing is to receive from
the Catholic Church.


The priest admitted the facts Of mes
merism; he deemed it folly 10 deny what
abundant testimony sustained But the in
fuence producing the phenomena, he held
was superna,ural--al emanatpg from The
power of darkness. In other words, the
facts of mesmerism, are the works OF The
Devil. The age of Materialism, he said,
had passed--that heresy had been put
down. Mesmerism was a heresy oil to-
tally different, kind--it was tho eNaggera-
tion of spiritualism. II led to pHde--vain
imaginings- -scepticism it was calculated
10 throw into the shade the holy ecsiacles
and miracles of the church, by creating
the belief that they could all be explained
from natural causes. Hence the church
was cautioned to beware Of granting 1t any
indulgence. lCmcinadh Herald
