From the Ihtanico' Medical Reporter: Human Magnetism* An Important Cure. —Na th ani eIC n 1 craah, of Rip* ley, about sixteen years ago received an inju 7 upon his brain, which produced complete insanity that lasted for more that) a year. Under medical treat ment he became partially relieved—bat from that time onward he was subject to return of derange ment, every month, that would usually disqualify him fof business from one to two weeks. Ode year ago, last .August, Prof. Smith, of Jeffer sonville, lad., was delivering a course <-f lectures in Jtipley,' bn Humao Magnetism. Mr. C., prompt edbjr curiosity, merely, presented bimself, with oth ers* to be magnetized. Atthc third sitting he pass* fully into the magnetic state, and soon .became quite susceptible to the influence; before the course '©Hectares, was concluded ho had one of his periods cal returns of derangement; From what had. been the lectures about the healing properties of magnetism; some of Uie friends of the afflicted were curious to have a trial tuadcinthis case—Mr. Smith wai sent for, and on his arrival - found Mr. C. per fectly insane and speechless— were feeble and less than twenty beats to the‘minute—his hands an<fc feet were os cold as icicles and his whole body trehtbled as if shaken by a fit of ague. Thirty or forty!persons were gathered around, much alarmed, and some in tears. A number of physicians were pnfsCnt, just ready to exhibit the “life giving effects” of thp lancet. Prof. Smith requested them to Suspend operations, and <lhe patient should be cured in.a few minutes, without torture, and without medicino. All with draw from tho room except the physicians, and a. few relative* nml friends. Immediately, Mr. C. was pul into the magnetic sleep, and in a lew minutes hi 4 whole system was calm and free from pain. The physicians were then requested to examine his ptdsfc, which were still faint and stow, but in two mfnutos more they we'ro raised hy the operator to and forty-five beats to the minute. The good doctors examined orer and over to see if there might not possibly be some mistake or collusion. The pulse was reduced to seventydbur to the minute, and the doors were opened to largo collec tions of men, women, and children, anxious to wit ndsfelhe triumph or downfall of magnetism in Hop- Icy. After a few appropriate remarks, and in leas w/nufes from the tune .Mr. Smith com mence 1 his operations he restore*! Mr. C. to the state, completely cured. The next day he was'at his worif ,and from Unit day to this he has not had; one symptom of bis usual returns of insanity. Ifis hcaith ih other respects has been better than at any Other time during the previous fifteen years. Ho has, however, occasionally been magnetised during jear. THE OITION. ancient Egyptian* paid religious homage to th<j heavenly bodies, at the same time reserving su perior tokens til’ adoration for the sun, which was thei£arch idol, and to whose.worship, as well as for the purpose of observing the motions of which, the Egyptian pyramid* were built and devoted. It was uud£r the reverentially repeated pame of on—the being —that thr same Dqity, the sun, was known by th« duplicated title oK-i-oa—the Being, the One,the Being. This ha* given occasion to those whose ob ject -was to cuquiic into the real meaning of things us jlsttlc n* possible, to accuse the Egyptians of wor shipping onions, whereas they only regarded these a*yvmholsof the solar system which they worship peil* The onion received that Egyptian name from <|urtou* analogy, that if you cut it through hori zontally, each section presents a resemblance of the Mj&tcro —the sun in the centre, and the orbits of’tHe planets revolving round it, inukiug up the substance of the root. Thus, whenever we mention the name of this little bulb, we express the dupli cated ineffable chartnwood of the ancieht Egyptians, esteemed by them in its simple form on (of which, -to.r thc Hindoo aum or cm may te a variation) as ttyi most sacred imaginable. A DIT OF HI’MOR iWc do not relish truth the less for being occa sionally spiced with a little humor. The following extract from the report of a committee on Hogs, read before an Agricultural Society down east,” contains some excellent hits : ‘\Agaiu : Some folks accuse pigs of being filthy in their habits, andL negligent m their personal ap pearanre. But whether food is best eaten off the. ground, or from China plates, is, it eecma to me, merely a matter of taste arid convenience, about which pigs and .men may honestly differ. They ought, then, to be judged charitably. At any rate, pigs; are not filthy enough to chew tobacco, nor to poidoo their breath by drinking whiskey. And as to their personal appearance, you don’t catch a pig playing the dandy, nor the females among them picking their way up this muddy a rain, in Ikhl slippers. Notwithstanding their hetreodox notions, hogs have softie excellent traits of character. If one chances to fallow a little deeper in some mire hole than his fellows, and so carries off and comes in possession of-more of this earth than his brethren, he never asku.mes an.extra importance on that account; nei thorvare his brethren stupid enough to worship him for'jt. Their only question seems to be, is he still a hog? If he is, they treat him os such. And when a Kog has no merits of his own, he never puts on aristocratic claims any partic ular respect on account o* his family connections; anft yet somc Hocs have descended from very an cient families. They understaud, .full well, the common sense maxim,‘every tub must stand upon its own bottom.* ** Crushed AflSeetlons* . .How many suffer unrequited affection f They are attached strongly to thosif who return them cold words, indifferent looks, and even avoid their pres- A word "that mightnot otherwise be noticed, often rinks deeply in the heart of one whose life is bound up in another. Where an object if cherished, is watched with solicitude, and a smile gives exquisite pleasure, while a frown sends a dag get (o the heart. There is no greater sin than to crush those warm affections gushing freely from o generous heart. It dries np the fountain of the sou? -r-foaes the smile on the check, and casts a shadow bright nnd glorious prospect. Draw near to the heart that loves you, return the favors receiv- if you cannotlove in return, be caicful not to bruise it or break it: by a careless word an—unkind expression or an air ol indifference. •K- «•». . .

Industbial t-citoOL— Tliis is a movement in which our citizens, without respect to-sect, party, or sjmculative opinions, must unite. It is trio late to argue in favor of the advantages of combing La bor, Science; Art and Literature,, in one grand sys tem of Education: On this-Bnbject, tliere'arc no dissenting voices. We will state that the effort has been commenced, apd we believe, before another year, the school will he organized and established. Some gentlemen have met a t.d drafted a charter, which will no doubt be passed by the Legislature. It is to organize a joint slock company, with a capital of $50,000 — the Governor to issue letters patent on $lO,OOO, being-subscribed. With the latter sum, llie-institu- tion can be started, upon good circumstances. It is proposed to establish it a few miles from the city. A farm wiii be bought, buildings erected, stock, implements, Ac.; Sic., furnished, suitable for the gratification of the Industrial instincts' of children of both sexes. A physician will be resident there, to care for the health or all., bath houses will bo" furnished ; the food will be of the most wholesome selection from the markets of the world. Languages will be taught nraUy. Families of French, German Italian, Ac., will be pat into the buildings; whose business it will be to teach the living languages, by speaking to children only in those tongues. We have the authority of experienced teachers in saying that at the age of sixteen, a boy ora girl may be madeperfect .in a half adoxea langnages, all the sciences, the arts, congenial to his or her tastes, and have good healthy bodies, by a few years residence in such an institution. ' The grand object will be to develops, and, bring, oat, all that is in man—to make' portions, at least, of the next generation, healthy,-rounded characters, l*" e ® from physical deformities and diseases, wiih the social and intellectual-passions, trained to tend to the respective destinies each one is to fulfil in the world. There is nothing visionary in ail this. It can be accomplished in any country, by any. peo ple ; only give then; the moans and a knowledge of the correct systems! The plan belongs to no sect, or part/, a school of philosophy; a/l who sludy cdu cation advocate it, and the aid and encouragement of people of every degree in society have been prom ised in Ilia present effort to establish such a school in the neighborhood of Pittsburgh. On Friday evening, there was quite a respectable meeting in Temperance Hall, of persons who came together to carry out the great measure. Mr. Alien gave his view, in a popular manner. life was fol lowed by Mr. Fonvaid, in a very energetic little . speech, in which lie asserted (hat ihere was no such tiling as education now—“ we have no educated men.” He was satisfied lhat the plan oi the pro posed Industrial School was the only one by which whole men could he made; we are now all frag ments of men; none sailed for the duties which de volve upon u». Industry is the first branch oredu cation ; languages should be taught orally, Ac. Ilisvcmarks wero received with great applause. Other meetings will bo called soon, to which tho public, ladies particularly, aro invited to attend. “Mrnoin OF Wa.
