A sail was made for volunteer'.subjeets. In response to this some sixty persons, among them men well-known In Ronnoke, came upon the ?tage. Among this number twenty-five or mote were found amenable to hyp? notic influences, and thesa began the fun for the audience. Laughing, dancing, singing and nl1 sirts of ludicrous per? formances'were the order of Jthe evening. Among, the hallucinations practiced upon the subjects was an i maginary trip in a balloon; the formation of the class into a singing school, in which each vied with the of'er to see who could sing the most lustily; the sending of* two young men through the audience to cry their wares for sale ?tbe one a basket of fish, the other hoky poky ice cream. Five sub? jects, all Roanoke men, were thrown into cataleptic f ranco and whilst In this con? dition a human "pile was built of their bodies, sustained on chairs only by neck and heels, upon which Mr. Lee himself also sprang. Towards the close of the performance, the young man who was put to sleep on Monday night, nnd who has'laid since then in a cataleptic trance in the show windows of Johnsen & John? son, was brought in and wakened from his forty-eight hours sleep. One of the physicians present on Monday night came forward and examined him: upon comparison with the weight on Monday night, he was found to have lost five pounds, one ounce. To all appearance, he seemed as one just wakened from a deep sleep, and bore no outward signs of ..any discomfort resulting from is. The performance will be continued through? out, the week, and from the crowds at? tracted it is evident that the people are attracted by something more than mere curiosity.
