THE DA1L1 EVENING TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, FRIDAY, QCTQBGK 22; 18G9. 8 CITY MTIiLLlOE.IVE, THE STONE KIAXT. A Peorrfptloii by PfcllnderBhlan. fine eourtey of a well-Known citizen of this rm lately returned from the neighborhood of TnnM. New York, we are enabled to present oar timrn with some additional facts relative to the rtrtned body lately fonnd In that nelRhliorhooa. ITie discovery of the fossil wtis made by farmer ?rinu on his old homestead, ono mile from Cardiff, nondaa comity, and twelve miles south of Syra ose. lie had set several men to dig ft well In the rear of his barn. At a distance of three feet, below Uie surface one of them nncoverod a huge foot of tine, and, althonph startled by tho discovery, they entlnued at work ontii the whole top of the body was unearthed. It was of Immense size, and lay lu singular attitude. Tho body, which was destitute of allelothlnir, lay upon its buck, with Its right hand icstlngon the pit of the stomach and the left arm thrown nnder It. The left leg was crossed upon the rijrht, and being thus the most elevated part of the oody, was urst unwv'Mil. The color was that of gray limestone, somewhat darker thin the granite in DPP hero the body was of gigantic size, and yet. very finely tiroportkmed. Its length was found to be 10 feet 'j inches; breadth a'-ros the ehonldcrs. 3 feet; length f head, 1 foot indies; icmrth of leu from point of hip to knee Join', it feet ; lenjrth or feet, 1 foot 7m nhes. The nose was 0 inrhes long and Bf broad; ihe mouth was 4 Indies wide; the width of the palm Tuvhes. The diameter of the thiph was 1 foot, of the calf o! leu 9' inches, of the wrist b Inches. The weight was estimated to bo from one-half to three fourths of a ton. ' . , As might be supposed, the discovery hns created the most intense e.xcitenfont in the nelnhborhood. The farmer was at first in favor of reburying the lidV but the persuasions of his wife induced him to icost. Since then Inrjrc numbers of slght-seers and come scieiitlil'5 men have examined the fossil. Various handsome oilers have been made for Its riirrha-se, but the old farmer has been induced to iLlow it to remain temporarily uu'.il it could be iiliotogmplied In its original position. Two contliet inp theories i-Mst In regard to the origin of tliis Ignrc. one hvpothcsK sustained by )r. J. F. lioynton, and elaborated bv him in a recent letter to the Krackiin Institute, declares It to be the statue of a Caucasian, cut out of ihe pvMiui of the county, and concealed in the slough where found several hundred years since. Wost. other persons, embracing some of scientillc. training, believe It to be the petrllled body of a man of gigantic s'oture, and the reasons for this belief are 'almost incontrovertible. If a statue, it could not support Itself erect, as It has no pedestal, and the crossing of the feet deprives it of the full support of the limbs; a ltd it could not be designed to lay tint a position unlike that assumed for any other statue us the left arm is thrown ont of sight of the body. Hesides, every part of the body is represented with ihe u-.moqt fidelity to nature, and not even the tra ditional ng-leaf is used; the only except ion is the otal absence of hair from the head and skin, an ad ditional argument in -favor of petrifaction. The veins, eyeballs, muscles, tendons of the heel, cords of the neck, the mnscnltuo prominence of "Adam's apple." every exact detail of physiology is given with wonderful accuracy. If the object be a statue, it is acknowledged to be iso most astonishing work of art ever produced by artist. Whether statue or ios-.llized human body, the remains are destined to excite great attention' from the whole community. Hither ai an indication I an extinct civilization tU.it lias left no other speci mens of unrivalled arfstlc skill, or in one of a iu-e .l giants of whom the Indians have traditions, Helen title and artistic men will have much curious data lor investigation.

According to tho Spring held (Mass.) itopubUf, there Is a knight of fct. Cris pin, a maker of boots, a pounder of leather ami waxer of threads, by the ninne of Downs, a resident of Lewlston, Maine, w ho is endowed with a mes meric power which is singular In that Its Influence does tiot depend solely on his volition, but some times IndepeiKlentl? tiot only of his will, but even of his knowledge, while itsn illy mesmerists must exert a conscious direct ion over their subject. A recent t'.amplcof this seeuilinv interposition of a power behind, merely workimr Hito'igh his physical organ ism, began in his cai-i li s,i throwing his arm around the neck of Ids friend ami old army comrade, Charles Voodwrd, a sole inaionncjurcr of Auburn, just across the river from l.ewet iu. He thought nothing of. ft, and Bhortly uftc,-1 -ft. the shop. This was ou Thursday afternoon ; mm fi nn that time till Satur day Woodward was not himself in any respect, nor has he now any renieiiibr uicH of the occurrences of tliMt tlniAt leaving h's ji.rurat character of quiet sobMety, he deported Iooim li like a reckless rowdy, danced and sung In ins shop, staid from his lodg ings till half-past two o'clock on Friday morning, and when found by the man at whoso house he hoarded, Edwin Wake, lie mhs at a low dunce, and disgracefully bolsteioi.s, Wake got him home mt.-r a. stent resistance on his part, but had continue! in hysteric state through the night, and told uli r.l:iM-s family secrets to those lio c.imc to see hint Hioiil'Ii he could not, have known one of them in ni natural condition. At last a physician was sumiieua d. ivho thought ll was lis teria. It was rceoniiiieuiieil that he be rubbed in stiong mustard water. WN'e Mr. Wake was dilng this, suddenly Woodward c.inie to his senses, while lake was instantly attacked with a nervous trem ir, his muscles contracted, his body writhed, and soon It became evident that he wns himself unconscious, The demoniac pos.se.esioli had left Woodward, and Wake was now the victim, and very much worse oil' than Woodward had been. He was soon found to bej entirely unmanageable. He showed thrice his oi dlliary strength, Hiid ait ickcd with damaging ef fect a plethoric physician w ho was summoned. He would dance and sing, and cut up all sorts of antics. Nobodv could do anything with him, for he seemed to m:c beforehand the intention of those around him. Consequently iMvas dot-rmined to Invoke the cause of ail this mischief to und. i it. Downs was found to be in (iardlner, and Mcc'iingly ou Sunday blako was secured in a cprri.iiro, taken thither, aud no sooner had Downs placed ins hands upon the mad man, than his muscl-s r l.i.ed and his mind cleared ; and he was much amazed t o Otnl where he was, aa his last recollection was of rubbing Woodward iu his own house. Then Downs said that lie had been nervously un easy ever since he left Auburn, and a queer feeling that he was needed there, though he bad no idea that he had mesmerized any one, and no .settled sense i.f what demand d lus presence. Woodward states that tu the army he was once sent through two picket lines and w w iiile under the control of Downs, and that Down : was at. that" time notorious for his magnetic powers, kcepiug people for days nuder his control. Downs and Woodward arc war ranted respectable, and Wake is vouched for as a reliable Christian by the l.ewiston Juui'nut, and there Is no doubt about th:' facts. It Is lucky for Downs that, he didn't l:ve in the with-murdering r:mcs. THE SI LZ CANAL. - - Willllie Current of I nn vln Trade he Itevo lutiomv.efl ? The I.ondorf and China Telegraph (October 4) sup plies this interebting aivicle: A letter from Suez, of a recent date, says that the first trial of the navigation of the canal was imtde between Port said and Kantara; tho .Egyptian steam iriga.e I.tttif performed the distance between those two points at the rate of six and a quarter knots per hour. It. is also announced that JL Les seps passed through the whole distance from Port Saul to Suez. W e are told that in a few weeks the work of tho caual w ill be completed, and the ships of Kurope will pass under full canvas or full steam from the Mediterranean to the Indian ocean. Care less language like this, used even by grave sclcntltlc and industrial journal' In France, throws donbts over all assertions, just as the late announce ment respecting the .Emperor's recovery caused all the worid to helieve him much worse, per haps, than lie really was. our neighbors seem to have adopted the witty gayinjp which Is tho pro perty of Oliver O'oldsmith.iiot Talleyrand that "iun gtiago was given to man to conceal his Ideas," as the rule of most of their composition. The chickens are being sedulously counted belore they arc hatched, and some writers seem really to believe that the opening of the Suez Canal will cause half the carrying In the world to be done iu future iu French bottoms ; they point to tho condition of tho direct commerce w ith Australia, which is set down at more than Cooo,0iiti lf francs, of which not 11,1100.000 passes lu French vessels, while the value of Kronen goods imported iuto those colonies annu ally amounts to 1M,0mi,oihi, aud the raw materials produced In Australia and used in France reach uu annual alue of more than 1di,000,oo. it is asked wlij should not France carry her own goods to Aus tralia, bring back the wool and other raw materials she requires, and thus save some iin,ia0,(HHj which goea into Lavish pockits ? Sm ha question may be met, If not answered, by another Why does noi Davie do as mucu carrying business as Liverpool, as (he ocean is equally open to heit and why Joes London, fifty inllea up a river, do more trade than Calais, Boulogne, Dunkirk, and ah the French ports in the Chaunel together? Tne Jcngiisn-AOBtraiian trade oiu not grow oni oi any special advantages oi wau.r way, aud the overland route to the Far Fast is as available for French as English commerce. How, then, are circumstances to be altered by the opening ot the Suez- Canal for tbethips of all nacious? When vur neighbors ex hibit in commerce generally as much energy ami perseverance as nro Khow ii by tha Messagenta Im pcitalesand the Transatlantic Steam Company, they will have their fair share of the carrylug trade of the world; but it Is ridiculous to imagine mat the Hue Canal wib be a royal Kni t to commerce for France excli-Kively. as every t'ue. political economist and iiimu of business well know i. 1-HAUDS.

A Very Lively Keeiio Indeed. Frnhi Ihe Greenbrier (Went Va.) ladriviulrnt. On Thursday evening last an episode occurred In the Court House which was not on tlw regular docket, it was so unusual In its character that it needs a little more than a passing notice. The facts ol the case are as follows: It seems that Mr. John L. Snedegnr. who was the foreman of the Oraud Jury, came in court rrom the jury room and propounded a question to the Court as to the limitation when an Indictment rot-perjury could be made. The Court stated thit the time w.is three years from tho period at which the oath should have been improperly taken, and not from the tune the act was committed. Colcnel Joel McPhersou. who was present at tho time, then got up aud said ! that he was aware or believed (or words to that. cti'cct) that an effort was being made to Indict himund that the jury was packed for that purpose, i The judge commanded him to sit. dowu, and lined him fit) for contempt of Court. The colonel then 1 passed around to the judge's seat. Some words t hen passed between them, when he commenced an j assault upon the judge. In the contest the Judge drew his plslol, which was caught and hold by Dr. j S. Austin. The result of the matter was thai the Judge received several scratches in the face, and his head was forced through the window. As a matter of course, the allair created uo little excitement and much comment. Afterwards upon a warrant, issued by Justice C. A. Sperry, Colonel AU-Pherson was ar rested and brought before him for committing a breach. of the puace. U was committed to jail. Yesterday morning he was lcleased upon bad. He was afterwards rearrested and placed in jail by order ofl'ouit for contempt. The colonel was released this morning. . '' ThctC'Irciiiiilociitory Mylc.

The following extracts show the stale of the 2sew York money market yesterday : From the Herald. "Hold emerged to-day from its dulncss and became on Ho active, the price at one time touching lijtv, au advance for tho day of one per cent., which, con sidciing the limited character of speculation in the precious metal, la a rather remarkable change. The rise was based upon the firmer tone of the foreign exdiangcB lust night and at the opening of business this morning, the foreign hankers being large buyers of hills to cover the coupons of Uovernmeut bonds held abroad. Again, the action of the Hold Kt- i change Hank, in releasing -2fi per cent, of the money ' due to its customers, who for. the most part are brokers in the Hold liooni, was instrumental in enabling many to resume dealings, and thus iu a lueteiite set the wheels of speculation iu motion once more. At the same time, as if by a sequence of this liquidation of indebtedness one of the firms which were compelled to suspend In the gold panic puid the claims against them ami resumed business. The. receiver of the hank at the close of business to-day had pttiil twenty-llxe per cent, of all claims,' except those originally thrown out and comprising Ihe accounts ol nine linns. Later in the day there was a rtftctlou in the market and the price went oil' tiliiov,. , , "'Ihe money market, was more active, and six aud seven per cent, were the prevailing rates on call loans, although the tJovcrnmeut dealers were excep tionally supplied at live. There Is a steady out How or currency to the Southern States in exchange Tor i the cottou crop, hut the accumulation or capital is i still so large at this centre that the effect is but i sbghllv perceptible in uo rales on call. The ! demuiid from the Went is not active, although t.'tc ; grain movement continues, and the explanation probably lies in the fact Ihui Western debtors are , sending wheat lo their Knstern creditors, the latter I complaining of the difficulty or making collec ! Hons. The West is yet largely in debt to ' the F.ast rrom last winter and spring, and ' the crops now coming are doubtlei-s being shipped ! to meet these old claims. Hence the light remfc ; tances or currency westward. While the rate on I call Is easy, discounts are dull, aud prime paper can- not be sold except at figures which would astound ' old time merchants. Some of the best endorsed dry ! goods paper went up to-day at twelve iierceut. dis i count, and the range takes the wide extremes of ten i to rtfteen per cent, for the very best acceptances.. Towards the close of the day there was lens tirmness i in the foreign exchanges, aud though the nominal I quotation for prime bankera' sixty day bills was ; UK!).;, sales took place at .lOiPi. . Tliu rls In gold and the fall in the home price of Government i securities allow shipments of the latter to ! Kurope, and the exchange market doubtless felt ! the effect of the offerings of bond bills. The lower price for cotton, combined witu the rise in gold, also enabled free exports of the staple and also contri buted to the supply of bills. The Government bought one million of bonds for the sinking fund, the whole lot being obtained at 11.VJ0 "Hat." The offering luing over five millions assisted the decline inaugu rated bv the large offerings to the Government yes terduv.'iind as a consequence the whole market was lower, but steady at the new schedule of prices, as a consequence, in turn, of the liriner tone of the gold market'.
