ANIMAL MAGNETIsM.-Somer recent oc-
currences have rendered this subject more
than ever the topic of public discussion.
Many of our readers have probably heard
OF the experiments tried in Providence,
with blind young laly, while under the
magnetic influence, the results of which
were truly wonderful, and incomprehensi-
BILE, even to those who witnessed them.
Among others who have attended the ex-
an,inations, is Col. Stone, Of the New York
Commercial Advertiser, who, from being
scepticnl on the subject, has become con-
vert to the strange results he witnessed.
He has written a narrative Of the circum-
stances, which is now in the press, and will
be published in few days; in speaking of
which he says, nothing hitherto publish
ed upon that subject, is SO wonderful by
far, as the facts of which we we're witness

Providence, while Col. S. was there, from
Troy, N. Y, containing a note, enclosed in
several envelopes, which the yonng lady
was desired to read, while under the mag
detie influence, without breaking the seals.
This she did, after keeping it one night in
her possession, and gave the reading al
mos, verbatim, as was proved on returning
the package to Troy. Col. Stone, himself,
left note for her to read, sealed with sew
en- seals, which was returned to him, the
seals unbroken, and the us.swer written on
the back, which, Col. 9. says, is correct as
far as il goes.
