The following is an extrac, Of letter from
the Editor ofthe Globe, recently on visit TO
the Hermitage I'VE found the venerable pa
tTot in much better health than expected. He
was out on a little excursion in his carriage on
our arrival and when he returned, he gave
welcome as affectionate as he could have given

ed. lie was the first to lead the way TO the Ia

Of young men and women. did not see
single gray head at the communion but his own
venerable, beached, and bowed one. The
preacher who made the sermon was boy, as he
told me. oitwenty and the minister who off
eisted in the rites (Mr. Iapsley,) did not
seem to be more than twenty-five years old.
There was full church, and greater mum.
Der oflttle children in the pewsthan ever saw
in a church before; yet there was the most pro-
found quiet and reverence throughout the GER
emony. The remarks of the officiating minis.
ter while administering the sacrament were
exceedingly impressive, and with singular pro-
priety and good taste, wholly exempt from the
slightest allusion to the striking figure which
contrasted so strongly with the young and heal
thy train led by him to the table. On our re-
turn from the church, asked him if the house
was built before the death of Mrs. Jackson
He replied that the church was built by her,
and was her church; that the last time she @.
ser attended il was sacramental occasion
that she was extremely solicitous that he should
unite himself with the society, and that he was
strongly inclined to do so but that his attitude
then before the public would have subjected him
to the charge Of acting hypocrticaly, which he
could not bear, as he detested hypocrisy more
than any other business. But he added that he
assured Mrs. jackson, when he had left the po-
litical scene, and his motives no longer liable
to misconstruction, he would comply with her
inclinations and his own, and join the chulch
In the mean time, he would serve his God with

taken unto himself wife, a circumstance not at

earthly bliss to purer climes Of felicity"
We hope, however, that be has got over his pas,

should never work himself into rage. even in
motiers ofthis kind. We once heard member o'

"DEAp BoDY ForNp-Thc body ola boy ap-
parently about or s years otage, was found III
the river opposite this place yesterday. He had
light hair, and had on no clothing except a pair
Of blue-mlxed stockings and one shoe. 1t was
evident that the body had been in the water
some time. 1t is supposed TO be the child of
Mr.. Shipc of Sunbury, which was drowned in
the Susquehanna at that place few weeks ago.
A Coroner's inquest was held on the body, and
a verdict given according to the circumstan-
Harrisburg htcHigencer.
or The shoe and stockings above mentioned
have since been forwarded to Mr.. Shipe, which he
recognised at once as those which belonged to his
child. The child, however, was only 4 years and
three months old when drowned; but the body
was probably much swollen when recovered, which
will also account for the loss Of its clothing.

Animal Magnetism,

This was repeated several times within few DAYS,
when the physician and several fri nds met for the

Davis remarked, was so great, that she doubted
whether Mr. Small would he able 10 mesmcrize her

west from Little Rock, and burst from the side
of q mountain which is several hundred feet
high, to the number of over GO. They are of
unequal temperature, ranging from below 100
to li7 degrees of Fahrenheit. The waters in
the largest are hot enough for culinary purpo-
ses, and scalds hogs thrown into it sufficient for
cleaning. Near the top of the hill, two springs
burst forth within yard of each other, one of
which is hot and the other cold-the latter be-

the Hill, while on the eastern side there is but
