ANIMAL MAGNETIsM.-An operation has
been performed in this city which goes
lar to establish the fact that there is some
thing IN Mesmerlsm beyond all dispute.
Mrs. Davis, Of Edding,on, has suffered
for some time with tumor in the RICH.
shoulder, and was advised by her physi-
clan to have it removed. While thinking
upon tae subject she heard of Animal
Magnetism and came into the city several
days since to have its effect tried upon
her. Mr.. VIM. Z. Small of dis city, who
has recently been practising magnetism
among his friends, and found to be sue
cesslul magnetism, was called upon and
succeeded in mesmerlzing or in putting
her into the magnetic sleep. This was
repeated several times within few DAVIS
when the physician and several friends
met for the purpose of removing the tunor
by surgical operation. The excitement
of the preparation, Mrs. Davis remarked,
was so great that she doubted whether Mir
Small would be able to mesmerise her
sufficiently for enduring the operations
Mr.. Small commenced magnetising her, g.
in eleven minutes she fell asleep, and tie
operation was continued as much lonper.
when the surgeon, DR.. George 3. Rich,
made an inclsion in the shoulder, over The
tumor, of about two inches in length, and
inserted hook into the tumor, which was
about half the size of hens egg, and
dlssected it out and dressed the wound,
During the operation Mrs. Davis nantes
ted some slight uneasiness, like person
in troubled dream, and one or twoslicnt
spasms in the opposite arm. On benz
taken out of the sleep she was told that
they had not been able to extract the Ia.
NOR, to which she replied she was afraid
they would not, as she was so much excl
ted about it. She was at length apprized
of the result, of which she was previously
quite unconscious and the only sensation
of which she was in any way conscious
was that of being asleep and wishing to
wake upbutnot beingable. Nor had She
suffered any pain up to the last evening.
We have this statement, substantially from
those who were present, and the parties
are of the highest responsibility and who
have 10 motive for an erroneous state
ment.- Bangor Whig.

Thus, should they be found compcten, 10

Mrs. Bailey, Madam Castcllon, and Mad

ness of voice, we do uot think any of them

Mrs. Seguin's execution is more finished,
but she has had the advantage of ten years
more practise and we scruplc not to say,
that ere the same length of time has passed
from the present with this young lady, she
will at las, equal her. One great fault how
ever was but too apparent to all in her sing
ing, especially in her Italian Cavatina,

Is, her method of catching or recovering her

quite an audible noise, which can be avoid.

the asophagus, as well as the mouth, whilst
ln-drawing. If it must be done, we much
prfer in a case Of this kind, TO have our Wis
i've faculties offended than those of hearing.
And in fact it affords us more pleasure to
listen to any music, not looking at the object
from whence it emenates, believing it some

We cannot end this notice without men,
tioning the beautiful effect of Miss Andrews
low notes. They resemble nothing that we
have ever heard, save the rich and melodi-
ous tones of the first and second strings of
the violin on the shifts.
To cut a long story short we will say,
hoping that she may bestow her attention to
making herself as perfect as possible, that
she has fairly entranced us and all that
were so fortunate as 10 have heard her.

To HIS ExcELLEscr, CHARLES PAINE, CONVERSION
ofthe State of Vermont.
DEAR SIR: have ventured TO address n short Sc.
ries of papers TO you, on the righteousness Of punish.
ing the murderer with death.
Two reasons have determined ME TO take this step,
One is, the high respect which l cherish for your
character as n man and as a citizen who has done
the State good service. The second Is, that the sub
jec: on which l write, is one that deeply concerns the
State over which you preside. 1t involves principles
and bearings which lie at the foundation of govern.
ment. And as the public mind has been called to il
and is likely TO be again, even the small measure of
light, that may be able 10 throw upon il, may assist
some of my fellow citizens in establishing their opin-
ions upon the truth.
The principal object, in the following papers, vii
be, to exhibit the theological argument on the sub
1ect OF capital punishment and TO show, THAT NO HI.
MAN LEGISLATURE HAS ANY CONTROL OVER THE LAW
CONTAINED IN GENESIS oh, 9Th and 9th; and that
the repeal of this law would be both offensive TO God
and unsafe for community. This being a mater OF
deep concern TO the State over which you preside, !
trust you will pardon the presumption Of inscribine
these papers to you.
With sentiments of high regard,
/ am Dear Sir,
As ever yours truly, {.

The object will be shown in a familiar manner,
that the origin of these diseases is usually MEcHASI.

theory, the Lecturer will use Ten DnAwIsos AS LARGE
