With fame have encircled the name of Itucfmnati seied Does the Moon Rotate ? In all the Works on astronomy, it is assum ed and ta';ght as a fact, that the ithion revolves on its axis once in twenty-eight days. J. Symonds, an inspector of schools, in England, wrote a letter tai the lon - don -Tint-ex-expre-se ing his surprise that natural philosophers should have maintained such a dogma, and- that it should he taught in. all schools as a fact of beim - ice: — conclusions were wrong, it would have- been very easy for astronomers to have set him right, .but 'not one of the euii nentastrnnomerp in England, have presented sinole O-uod and conclusive ar2annent in fa- vor of the moon rotating theory, while sonic have rather abused the inspector'for question ing the old dogma. It is a . positive fact. that a great deal of what is taught in schools is assuniptiOn, not fact. „ Assumptions by fre quent uncontradieted repetition come to be re garded in the course of time, by students, as facts. This has been the experience of every man of an original mind, and it has thus be e n 'the means of clogging the wheels of science. As it relates to the common astronomical as- sumption, viz., that of the moon's rotation on her axis once in 28 days, how can this be so when-it-c,ontinually_presents-ttu;_stunelface-to the earth? If it has a rotation on its axis, it should present different phases. We perceive that. Evan Hopkins. C. E., and David Masbat, M. E., in the London Morning Journal, have sustained the views of Mr. Symonds in very able articles., Form, qf the Earth.—The earth being round like a ball, it follows that at a certain distance, oven though our vision can reach much far ther, its tOrm will prevent us front seeing ob jects even if its surfime_were perfectly smooth. It has been calculated that at 600 yards an object one inch high cannot be seen iu straight line; at 900 yards, two inches ; at 1400 yards, five inches ; at one mile, eight in ches ; three miles, six feet; so at that distance a man would be invisible. In leveling, it is usual to allow the tenth of an inch in every two hundred,yards, or eight inches in a mile, for convexity. A Novel Enterprise.—A lady in Cynthi ana, Kentucky, is fabricating an "album quilt," as she terms it. The outside, or "patch-work," of the article is made up of small strips of linen, on each one of which is an autograph written with indelible ink.— Among the names are those of fierily Clay, Jackson,Daniel Webster, Crittenden, Cass, Hunter F illmore, Everett, 11.

In size and general appearance, they hbre a strong resemblance to each other, but in dis position and manners were totally dissimilar. Each was born with a peculiar eccentricity of character. That of Pedigree was to occupy, on all occasions, an elevated position; that of Ingrain, to shrink out of all observation. No sooner had they learned the difference in positions, than these eccentricities manifested th emselves. Pedigree cried, to be placed upon the table, Ingrain to Sit beneath it. If they were put to r_ied, the former chose to be put in, the latter under it ; nor would any persua sion pacify them, until their wishes were _gratified. When they first began to come to table, no thing wotild - satisfy Pedigree, but a very high chair to sit in, and a stool for his plate to stansi on, that he might eat his victuals above all the rest. On the contrary, his brother would nut -partake of a mouthful-unless, it was under the table, and upon the very floor. These whims gave great trouble to the pa reds, and their virulence increased daily, un til at last, Pedigree had to he taken up stairs to eat, and his brother down in the cellar. This gave increased discomfort to all con cerned, and introduced the greatest confusion into the household, especially when company was present—for the smoking dishes perfum, ed the whole house ; one set of servants promenading through the halls to the cellar, and another to the chambers above. These eccentricities at length proceeded to such an extentthat Pedigree must needs have a dining room built on the roof of the house,' and Ingrain must needs have deeper one dug in the cellar. This. put the parents to much trouble and expense; the house was filled-with workmen; and confusion reigned from one end of it to the other. For a time, they both seemed satisfied, but, finally, the one demanded a tower on the.top of the house, and the other a well underneath it, to gratify ,their eccentricity. This gave more. trouble than ever, for the one required an expensive windlass to draw himself awl victuals up, and his brother another to let his down, and also the atten dance of many servants to work them. • Morecver each -ear it was found necessary to add another story the tower, and a deep er cell to the well, until at length, so high was the tower, and so deep the •well, that steam engines must needs be employed to effect the labor of carrying victuals and persons up and down, and to make the necessary:speed in do ing. it. A telegraphic line was also establish ed, to signal for the various dishes, (lesserts, etc. etc., and a gas establishment to light the subterranean dining-room. These required inereas outlays of money, until, with. steam-engines and engineers, and servatiti -- 3, and - the cost - of the - year& elevations of the tower, and depressions of the well, the father's estate became covered with bonds and mortgages to coverthe expense. Money was - hired at tew - twentyvand — everr - fifty per cent. TO the remainder of the children brought home - from school to cheapen the living, in order that these whims might be gratified. qv means to meet these extraordinary and daily increasing expenses, and began to grow pre maturely old, withlhe cares and anxieties of endeavoring to keep their property under such absorbing circumstances; Gradually they were compelled to sell piece after piece, to the grief and mortification of the remainder of the children, who thus saw the tower and well en giilfing the handsome proper ty they might otherwise have inherited. Still the work of demolition went on. , Each year the tower was built higher, and the well dug deeper, until the whole property was ex -pen ded i -save-the-fam ly-res idence. The parents now thought of entreating the one to come down, and the other to come up, and assume their own mode of living, ere they were all deprived of bread together. This only enraged the two brothers, who simultaneously declared, the one for a new story to his tower, and the other for a lower deep to his well, which placed an irredeemable mortgage on both house and lot. Time ran on, when, just before the closing of the mortgage, the parents, seeing the ne cessity, commanded their children to yield up their• whims, lest they should lose house and home, and be in danger of starving. Each declared the other, and not himself, the, cause of the ruinous expense: and thereupon co►n menced a quarrel. The mother took the side of one child, and the father of the other, and the children divided themselves equally on either side. ' The quarrel raged without intermission ; their boisterous dissensions shaking the whole house, now weakened by -the undermining necessary for the well, and trembling under the weight of the tower above, until one night it fell, and crushed them all to death.

Some Noses The following incident we had from a fiiend who knew the party : Deacon C , of Hartford, Conn., is well known as being provided with an enormous handle to his countenance, in the shape of a huge nose—in fact, it is remarkable for its great length. On a late occasion, when taking up a collec tion in the church to which the - daacon fie longs, as he passed through the congregation every person to whoiii he presented the bag seemed to be possessed by a sudden and uncon trollable Ttitire — fil laugh. The deacon did not know what to make of it.. He had oft.en passed round senors., but no such effects had he Witnessed. The deacon _was fairly puzzled. _ The secret however, leaked - out. He had been afflicted fur a day or two with a sore on the end of his nasal appendage, and hail placed a small piece of sticking plaster over, it. Du ring the morning of the day in question, the f aeon seeing it, as he supposed, on the flour, picked it up and stuck it on again. But alas, tir men who sometimes make greal mistakes, he_ picked up instead, ono of those pieces of paper which the manufacturers of spool cotton paste on the end of every spool, and which read— "Warranted to hold out 200 yards."—Such a sign on such a nose was enough to upset the gravity of any congregation. We, do not mean, by - this caption, to insinu ate that sensible doctors are rare. On the contrary, we are happy to state as a fact that we have known, within the last thirty years, at least, a'dozen very sensible members of the profession. But the cares and labors of prac tice seldom permit the N. 1/As-of-this country to show to the public any attainments outside of their Prufel,sibu, so that, although there may be among them many intelligent and- learned Men, wits, sages and philosophers, the world is kept in profoimd ignorance of their Where abouts.,`—Titere are - exceptions, however, and Doctor Hall, editor of the Journal qf Health, is one of them.

"I have found out," says he; "among others, three things:" . “.I.4t.—That a man out of money can't be a ppy. 2d.—That a man out of health can't be hap py. g; g g g gg g ' • e can't be happy• Therefore, I have eprne to the conclusion that the best way to he happy is to takecare of your health, keep out of debt, and get a wife." We trust that the Doctor will favor us with more of his conclusions in future numbers of his valuable Journal. Waking up Sinners.—We have heard of an old minister in Kentucky, who purchased a whis tle, and when his hearers went to sleep, as usual, he emitted from it a Very shrill sound.

ADDRESS OF TH E Democratic State Central Committee. The Democratic State Central Committee of Pennsylvania performs a pleasing duty in directing the attentionof the pee Flo to the nominations made by the National Conven tion, on the 6th ofJunc, 1856; Tlie incidents which preceded, accompanied and followed that • decision of the representatives of the' National Democracy, have inspired the feliei _tations of patriotic men in- every part. of the country. no voice of.the people,faithfully represented at Cincinnati, grateiny responds to the action of the Convention. The result had scarcely been announeed before it was welcomed in every State of the confederacy, and the rejoicings of the people confirmed the earnest, all-pervading and deep seated senti ment in favor of our distinguished statesman. Since the time when the masses- proclaimed their preference for the hero of New Orleans, no cinch demonstration has been witnessed in the United States. The harmonious esumple of the august body which selected our candi dates wa,s promptly followed by the endorse ment of the most distinguished intellects • in the Democratic party. The voice of the ven erated Cass, first raised at the Capitol of the Union in support of these candidates, was re echoed by the_patriotie Douglas, and the Up right Chief Magistrate of the Nation. The great cities of the North, and of the West, and of the far South, caught up the enthusi asm which ratified the nominations at the Convention itself, and a national ovation, un precedented in our annals, was crowned with the voluntary tributes to our cause of many of the most eminent men heretofore iu the ranks of the opposition. The people, as if animated by-one instinct, flocked from different sections of the Union to the scene of action, to. declare their prefereece ,for JANES BIJOIAN.%N. They had fol Awed his record during along life, until, at last, as one after another the venerated representatives of National doctrines disappeared from the stage of action, he became their spontaneous choice for the highest office in their gift. At a pe riod when faction reigns supreme in ono branch of Congress, and threatens to usurp control in the other ; when the most alarming doctrines are asserted and carried into effect in several of the States of the Union ; such a man as Mr. Buchanan liecomes a - national necessity. Thirty-five years IX-distinguished services to his country in the National Colin thirty-live years unsullied ,by a single mistake, thirty-fiVe years of almost constant association with the eminent patriots of other days—thirty-five years of championship of the Constitution—render bha peculiarly the candidate for the corning struggle. Pennsyl vania, after presenting her favorite son at the bar of other National Conventions, and after yielding with unmurmuring patience to their decisions, kids, at last, -that her fidelity to principle has not been forgotten, and that the Nation at large accepts her candidate amid the warmest expressions of confidence and --- 111ay - wo not - say - , --- fellow-citizente, to our brethren in other States that when the day of trial comes, the Keystone of the Arch will be found more firmly fixed than ever in . - .a i a c• e le ion of. c Convention by a majority unequalled even in her-annals ? The candidate of the Democratic party for the Vice.Presideney, the Hon. John C. Breekt inridgo, of Kentucky; is eminently. worthy of theuniversal joy which greeted 'him nomina tion. Mr.l3reekinridge - was thirty-live years of age on the 21st of January last, and is now the candidate fur the secood office in, the gift of the American people. It would be difficult to find a man in whom public and private usefulness so rarely commingle. Not withstanding the early age at which he will be--ealled--to-ecen py-high—position ii lie- posses— es, in a singulars egree, thatfirmness of char actor, that directness and purity of purpose, which, whenever exhibited, are always HUNe to he honored by the must sagacious people in the world. • Mr.-Breekjnridge has served in the Legislature of his State ; and was four years a distinguished and eloquent member of the popular branch of Congress, Ills speeches in the latter body placed him in the front rank of American statesmen, and won for him it permanent place in the affections o f his friends. -.lle was selected by President Pierce as the American Minister at the Span ish Court, which high position he was-conipelt ed to decline. Previous to entering upon his Congression al career, he volunteered for the Mexican war, and, during a lung and trying campaign, he secured the respect and confidence of his fel low soldiers. lie has never sought public favor. The people have always called him forth ; and it m because he has withheld him self from exciting contests fur popular prefer ment, that the distinctions he wears so grace fully have been so freely bestnwed. In this respect he resembles Mr. Buchanan, whose nomination was the result of no effort of his own, but the offspring of that popular opinion which commanded the respect of the Convention, because it was based upon 'a motive which entitled it to the highest con sideration. The manner in which Mr. 13reck inridge refused to beeome a candidate ,fbr the Vice Presideney, his fidelity to the choice of his own State,- and his determination to throw no ebstael es in the way of that choice, excited, in his' behalf', a sentiment of admiration which could not be restrained until it fbund vent in the expression which made him the Denim:rat ie nominee fiir that distinguished position. It. is in vain to describe the specta , :dewhieh trmispired when Mr. Buehanan's name was finally agreed upon. The riaairy to second, the enthusiasm to support, the eagerness to endorse, the significant unity of sell timent and of action which characterized that interesting period of the Convention, cannot be described. Scarcely had this event hem announeed to an expectant people, before the discordant branches of the Democracy of New York were brought together, and for the first time in many years, started forward upon their way once more united as a band of brothers. It was amid such auguries, "and under such cit.- . cumstance,s, that James Buchanan became the nominee of the Democracy for the Presi dency. Baure the- etrug.gie for the nominations qii• It is construtfted upon an eieluri ng it is fempled deep in- linilyin.; fttitti :1)111 fideli ty t& the ;it reues-s.. laie4lin:e ..f patri.ai,m, our do).‘ition t.) the Cul= cif tit...! iStatcJ-; iu-az,.A;r1...) uux,,,;ratitu4 to the Sages of the past ; it enunciates our du ties with respect to coming events, and points out the dazzling destiny in reserve for us on the North American (I - eminent. . The unani mous assertion of these doctrines, in advance of the nomination, was an assurance to the country, that with the Democracy, principles are always paramount, and expediency and policy entirely sceondary and subordinate. And now, citizens of Pennsylvania, we have placed before, you our principles and our can didates. Freely as the Convention has spoken the candidates themselves lutve responded— Mr. Buchanan, by the record of his life and the recent declarations of his_ opinions ; Mr. Breckinridge, by his manly end I.)eautiful ,ad dress upon the floor of the Convention. No thing is left to inference. Intolerance is re buked ; proscription proscribed ; abolitionism denounced ; the rights of the States re-airrm ed ; the prineiple of the Nebraska Bill endors ed. There is 9. completeness in the dignity and in the emphasis with which all this has been done, which show that it has been the work of men who felt that they were dealing with an intelligent people, and acting as the trustees of an exact and jealous, but, at the same time, confiding and conscientious Democ racy. TUE ADVERSARIES OF TIIR DEMOCRATIC PAR TY HAVE DISSOLVEd THE AMERICAN UNION IN ADVANCE, so far as hylheir owe action they can consummate that driefiirresult. They can no longer assemble in National Conven tion; they congregate as the representatives of a-fragment of one half of our happy coun try,' and they arrogate to themselves. the mas tery of the other half by attempting to con solidate a fierce and fanatical sectional major ity in every department of the government. They declare that the country is on the eve of unpreeedented. cenivulsions, and . they. pro claim their purpose to Arrest these convulsions by ignoring and insulting fifteen sovereign State the Union. They talk of peace,' and in their on pions proclaim a policy which must on& in eivi war.- They appeal to Hear- en to sanctify - a ievement, which, if success ful,, would destroy the fairest fabric of free dom on the globe. They invite our country men to support their cause in the midst of the -most irreverent blasphemies of the Constitu tion. They prate of exclusive Americanism, whikthey accept: Ls leaders, men who profane the sages of the - past with inconceivable cal umnies. But they 'deserve credit for -their boldness. They 1.1 nut attempt to coneeal:the fearful end which, should they succeed; must crown their efilirts. True to the history• of all sectional parties, they would unite mon not by a love - of country, but'by a hatred of national principles. Their bond of action is spiapathy of antagonisms, not a harmony of patriotic sentiments, and to consummate their, purposes they would sacrifice every great time tonal interest - of society. They have already succeeded in dividing the Christian Church, and now they 3youltlay their hands upon he bulwarks of our liberties ; they would wrest the Constitution from the glorious purpose to which it was dedicated by its founders ; and they would erect at Washington it sectional despotism, whose presiding divinities would be hostility to the 4iquality of the States, and the equality of 'the citizens, and relentless war upon the _domestic institutions of the ou I. Tte Democratic party, on the other hand, represents our whole country. Standing up-- on the firm foundations of the Constitution, its doctrines are the same on the shores of the- Pacific and on the banks of the St. Lawrence. It addresses itself to no 1,041 feeling, it in volves no sectional support it protects the right guaranteed by the fundamental htw, no matter what portion of the people is-directly interested in their preservation. Its mission is a peaceful mission. Should the nominations of the Cincinnati Convention he sustained, as we confidently believe they will he, the Demo.: cratic party will entitle itself to the renewed confidence and gratitude of the ration by- ex terminating every element of discord that now disturbs our happy land. Under the guidance of a kind Providence, we shall havo in the Presidential 'chair a patriot, who will labor conscientiously . and courageously to render bis administration worthy of the.expeetatiuns of his cAnintg. This itcy•omplished, he will, have appropriately closed his lung career, and have made his immune a blessed memory and a proud example thoughout coming generations. • The Central Committee, in conclusion, di rect the attention of the Democrats of the State to the important work of an immediate and thorough organization. The Committee is doing and will continue to do its whole duty ; but in a cause like ours, and in a can vass ike the present, every individual Demo crat should be netive and vigilant, every school district should be explored by our young men, and every nook and corner of the State filled with truthful documents. Mutt organization is always the best which derives its vigor from systematized primary associations. Oar ad versaries are skilled ut the work of circulating their dogmas among the people. They_ ong ago enlisted fanatical demagogues and agita tors in the ranks, and they boast of having !diluted some of their most dangerous doctrines in our good old State. If we add to these fa cilities the dark and secret plots of an oath bound Order, we shall lie able, at a glance, to . what a foe we have to contend with. Let us, then, arouse the sleepers, if any there lie. Let us continue the generous rivalry and patriotic unity which now thrill a nd enliven our ranks from Maine to Georgia. Let no Democrat deceive himself with the idea that he can, do no good. Every deli, no matter how feel le, is a contrilaiti(in to the cause. And with such a cause as ours, and such candidates. organization is a duty grate fully persevered in, and instinctively and glad ly discharged. JOHN W. FORNEY, Chairman.
