That's the question. Dr. Boynton
takes the affirmative aud Horace Mann
the negative. Who shall decide when
doctors disaereey Ii is fact that the
figure of the earth is an oblate spheroid
having its equatorial diameter more than
26 miles longer than its polar diameter,
and consequently the equatorial regions
are some thirteen miles farther from the
carth's centre than the poles are. Ii the
earth were at rest, the water in the tropic
regions would flow with great rapidity
towards the polls, until the equilibrium,
aS far as water is concerned, would be re-
stored. The Mississippi would flow from
it's mouth to its source, the former being
over two miles farther from the centre o.
the earth than the latter. 1t is there
fore evident that the water in this river.
az it now flows, rises or reaches from the
earth's centre between two aud three
miles, in passing from its source to the
Gulf Of Mexico.
"But how can water run up hill!' asks
Horace Mann and Others. For the same
reason that water on grlndstonc IN mo-
tion will mount the centre ridge instead
Of running off at the side The revou-
ton of the earth round its axis gives all
bodies on lis surface, especially water, a
tendency to the equator; and this tenden-
cy is just sufficient to counter balance
the rise in the surface in the same drec-
t on, in fact the one is the cause of the
other, Water is therefore free to flow in
any direction, which inequalities on the
surface. thus balanced, may occasion. 1t
the daily rotation Of the earth becomes
slower, the tendency Of bodies TO the
equator would diminish and the water
would flow towards the polls, until anoth
er Surface OF equilibrium were estab-
lishcd. If the rotation became more rap
id, the water would rush toward the
equator till the equilibrium was re-
stored, The opposite forces, the centrif-
ugal and the ceatripetal, will always bal,
ance each other.
How Mr. Mann could be puzzled over
so clear matter, is singular One would
imagine that the mind which could orig
mate the idea of marrying man t.
twenty fine ladies Of the modern school
without subjecting him to charge Of
bigamy, would be able to comprehend 4
very simple problem in natural philoso
phy.-Quincy (lll.) Repnbiican.

Joe. Smiths Family in NauvOo.

A correspondent of the Missouri Re
pudticun writes that last summer he was
at Nauvoo and conyersed with Mr. Bito-
man, who is marrie. to Joe Smiths wild
ow. He says:
l sat at the table with the family con-
sis,ing OF Mr. Bitoman and wife, and
three sons OF Joe Smith, the eldest about
z2 or R3, the second about 20, and II lad
of Il or Ii years. From Mr. Bitoman
learned that not one of the family believ-
ed in Mormonism, and that his vile
formerly Mrs. Snith--had always been
opposed to them, as well as the boys. I
Was told that Joe Smith prophesied, some
two years before the young lad was born,
that son was to be born to him, at or
about certain time; that at the time sta
ted his wife did give birth to a sou. At
that time he also stated that his SON 5
name would be David, (uot Joe, and that
is the name of the lad for heard him
answer to it. Joe also said that his man
tie vi greatness and prophecy would fall
upon tais son aud lin2I heir, David, who
he stated would be as wise and powerful
as David of old The fact Of the birth
Of this child, following according 20 Joe's
prophesy, streny.hcd the belief that had
already SO strong hold upon his follow
ers. Mrs. Bltoman Is a masculine, intel
iigcnt looking lady, of A. or II years,
and is native of New York.
She has splendid farm some four
miles from Nauvoo, which is manyged by
her two eldest SOUS, while David goes to
school About the two eldest there j.
nothing remarkable to be seen. They
are intelligent men, Of large size, but
have nothing betokening them to be
prophets or ''sons Of a prophet" To
their mother they are very much attach
ed and very kind David is an uncom-
monty smart lad, of massive forehead,
aud bright, expressive eyes. His step
father iutlmates that he cares US little
about Mornons aud Mormonism as one
who has never heard the names, notwith-
standing that thousands of the followers
OF his father believed him to be great

| &c. He knows that they worship his
name equal to that Of Jesus Christ

gent to allow it to make any impression
upon him. Probably the fact OF all the
family beins unbeiirvers in it, is the
! cause.
The following inciden. learned from a
! gentleman residing at Nauvoo: That when
Joe was shot in Jail, some fifteen miles
from home, his wife took possession Of
his body, and to preyen, the rabble FROM
getting it, they raised the door of the di.
ming room, and digging grave, buried
his remains there, whore they still re
main. This story, whether true or not
| is generally believed in Nauvoo.

line OF the Erie canal, engaged good
looking and brisk young lady as a super

lady in question had formerly oficiated
in some capacity as "hand' on board Il

to conceal. She evnced much anxiety
to master the details Of her newly chosen
profession, and soon exhibited more
than ordinary degree of comic talent
She was duly promoted, and in time be-
came general favorite with both mana

One night she was announced to appear
in a favorite part, couple of boatmen

was crowded, and after the subsistence OF
the general applause which greeted her

J. c. Murphy, in communication to
the Illinois Gazette says company has
been formed in Mendoza, for its manufac-
ture. He gives the following description
of it: 1.-The frame is hung upon three
wheels or castors, and the moulds hung
under the frame-four in number--one
after another, and so high from the ground
as to prevent its checking. There is no
l,nd side, no friction, the forward wheel
runs before the plow in the furrow, and
one wheel in the furrow made by the last
plow, and one on the land; so you see
there is no cut and cover. Those Far
mcrs who have seen the plow work pro-
nounce it first rate, doing the work better
than could be done by the single plow.

horses, blowing from six to ten acres pei

Most Extraordinary Gave.

Relative to the case Of the woman Mrs.
Hayes, of the town Of Day, Saratogl
unty, Of whom it is said she has lived
now nineteen months without eating
.morsrl OF food, and whose death Was re,
eo"tly announced in one of the papers of
Albany. the Sandy Hill Herald has the
following:
"Mrs. Hayes is not dead, but remains
in the condition in which she has been
for many months past. Incredible as it
may seem, there is little doubt, If any.
but that this woman has lived more than
eighteen months without eating or drink
ing. We have net alluded to the case
before for the reason of its apparent in
crediblity, but scientific gentl'm men, to-
gethcr with hnndrcdsef others, after the
closest scrutiny, have become nvinced
that there is no deception practiced, and
that the woman actually subsists without
food or water In order to test the mat
ter. gentleman took the woman to his
residence, and parties watched her day
and night for one month. who say that
she neither ate nor drank during that
time, AMI that on food being introiu
into the room, concealed in the pockets
OF disinterested persons, the woman
would Immediately go into horrible con-
vulsions. The same effect was produced
by persons taking tobacco, or any other
kind of ardent spirits, where she was.
The woman is reduced to perfect skele-
ton, so much so that by placing the hand
upon the ablo nen the back-b can he
distinctly felt. We are aware that there
are instances on record somewhat akin to
this. which turned out to be frauds but
If this is deception, it has been so adroit-
ly practiced that every one who has ex-
am'ned it has been duped Besides there
is no motive for the deception and it is
quite incredible that any person should
suffer to the extent that this woman has
for the sole purpose of PLAYING upon the
credulity of the public. Viewed in any
light, the subject is worthy the attention
of the scientific and curious"

County papers are OF much more use
than most people generally imagine.
They We y naturally aid in calling pub
lie attention to matters in which every
citizen in the country is more or less in
tcrestcd.
They contribute in various ways, TO the
formation of public opinion, On subjects
of pubic interest.
They furnish very convenient medi-
urns tcr the discussion of questions of To-
cal interest.
They aid in giving character and i'm.
portancc to the county in which they are
published.
They stimulate taste for reading, aud
disseminate, in the course of one year,
vast amount of information, much OF which
wolll not reach the reader through any
other channel
They are of essential good in family in
fostering taste for reading among chill
dren. County papers enjoy an advantage
over papers published at distance be-
cause many of their items are OF a local in
terest which naturally attracts child at
tention. The advertising columns also
are particularly attractive to many per-
sons.
They are Of essential service in pub
fishing various articles of local inteli-
g,nce in which the citizens are more or
less interested, but Of which many would
remain uuiuiormed, were it not for these
papers .
In short, country papers add in a great
variety OF ways to the character, intelii-
2ence and prosperity of the county in
which they are published; and therefore
have strong claim to the support of all
whom they directly or indirectly benefit.
