ANIMAL, MAGNETISM.

We are believer to definite extent 10
the moo,ed science Of animal magnetism,
and therefore rejoice when an opportunity
is presented US Of closer Investigation OF
its mysteries. Dr.. Jackson gave course
Of lectures 10 this place last week upon the
above subject. We attended three even
ings, when we became satisfied, that either
the Doctor did no, possess The power Of dis
corning imposition. or acted upon the pre-
sumption that others did not, Now we be-
Iieve TO this extent, that the Doctor can pre-
vent the subject opening his eyes, tina, he
can bind him TO his chair, and perform aun-
dry other apparently incomprehensble
things with the body, but when it comes TO
the mind, the actions exhibited there are
produced by working upon that organ which
phrenologisis term idealiiy. Hence, you
will observe that practitioners Of this
science select their subjects from among
those in whom this organis strongly deyel-
oped. From close conversation with some
Of those boys upon whom Or. Jackson opcr-
a,ed in this place, we are convinced
Of the truth Of these observations. a por-
ton Of their conduct, while said to be IN
der bis influence, is real, another portion is
effected by working upon their imaginaiions
and the balance is feigned. If any one
who hss attended these exhibitions believe
to the contrary, we would be pleased to
know the data upon which he POUNDS his
conclusions.
