zinc ans ,r4ripp IN rough your paper as they are
D,t ,,artinsnt to he shie,s upon which have been
writing and would lead me ius discussions unheoe.
sary present, aud foreign to oFese'' = p lose
but 70 such as are pertinent to the topic uiAN-
GRAFTON, will gladly respond.
In speaking # the day Of Inauguration Of the Presl,
dent my correspondent says The fourth day- OF
March is said fall Sunday in four hundred
years: is that - answer yes Notonv the fourth
8av of March hut every ofEf. aav or March and every
other MONTH returns to the day Of the week in
400 years This is what call Domujcal cycle Start
your 400 years any day OF the week. in any month,
commence on the same Gay oI the WeeN ana lt lie
time Of he year, and within hundred minutes
Of the same hour and inutc Of the day And the cycles
will continue for the space Of $3.50 years from
that time running them back forward before those
minutes viii amount to whole day, as 10 change
the order e the pominical Letters For this reason
argue that inasmuch the council Of Nice the cal
entar right ia \ u. 325, tell precisely what
day the Creation commenced on taking the Bible for
guide, without which, know nothing Of the
alton of the world.
But must return to the question put. The 4th Of
March falls Sunday not only once in 400 years, hut
generally. once IN five SIX years, and never runs
more than seven wears without falling on sunday II
falls sunday under the nomjnical letter C. and
other When a ieap-year commences under A then
March falls under q the Doninical letter being changed
the first day Of March, and consequently the fourth
fails on sunday and when Ieap-Eear commences un-
der G. March falls under F. and therefore the 18th does
not fall on sunday
March fans under G. and the 4ih on Sunday. fifty
eight times in each eye # 4 years iustead Of once
