The GREAT METHODIST CHURCH CAsE.-John
W. Nelson, the Commissioner to whom was re-
ferred the Methodist Episcopal Church case, has
made his report for adjusting the accounts be-
tween the Church North and South The pro-
fits from that period, 1s45, to January 1852,
has been over 1885, 5,ooo-yarying annually from
$1,000 to ses,ooO The aggregate value Of the
Book Concern at the commencement of this year,
was $6os, s,43l, the increase since 1s45 being
about $4,000. 1t appears, also, that the profits
paid to the Northern benefciar.es since the d.
vision of the Church, have been sllS,00o. The
Southerners did not receive any during that pc.
Rod, the Northerners contending that in conse-
quence Of their voluntary secession, they we're
not entitled to participate in profits. The South
erners contend that they should receive their
share in money, and that they are entitled to
$4,000 more than is allowed them, while the
Northerners contend that the sum due the South
ern Church is s56, ,4s6 80, deducting $40, 1874 10
due for the value of the three Southern newspa-
pers and the profits which have accrued on them.
The Southern Church has taken exception to the
Report, and the matter is again before the Cir
cult Court of New York.

CoL1c IN HoRsEs--Mr. ]. w. Dent, of Craw
ford county, writes to the Soil of the South
giving the following prescription for this disease
"Take handful of jamestown leaves-make
a tea of it-put into a common black bottle, and
drench the animal. If the tea appears toe
strong when made weaken by putting cold wa
ter to it. This he has seen given when the
horse was on his side perfectly helpless, and in
half an hour relief was afforded"

HEAT OF THE SUM. Secchi, Of Rome, has
made series Of photometric experiments on the
disc OF the sun, by means Of a thermo-electric
pile. He has found that the heat of the bor-
ders Of the disc is nearly half that Of the Gen.
tire, which confirms, as regard' radiation of heat,
what was already known for light and chemical
action But he observed further, that the heat
was not the same at all points equi-distant from
the centre; and that the place of maximum
temperature was g above the centre; the iso.
thermal curves were species Of parabcla The
suns surface differs in temperature not only be-
cause of the absorption due to its atmosphere,
but also from certain inherent differences in the
surface itself. But N. Secchi also remarks that
at the time of the observations, the Goth, 2lst,
and 23d of March, the solar equator was raised
about 2'.6 above the centre, and hence the in
ferior part of the disc presented the south pole
of the sun, while the north pole was concealed !;
and, moreover, the ascertaiped point of its great
est heat lies in the equator The conclusion
therefore follows that the equatorial regions of
the sun are hotter than the polar. NJ. Secchs
observations did not extend to the spots of the
sun; vet in a few trials they were found to pro
duce sensible diminution Of temperature. He
says that the prevalence of the spots about the
equatorial region corresponds we'll with the view
that this part is the hottest in the sun.
