One week after this the arm was very much swollen, paiuful and presented the appearance or ma lignant crysipeleas, which continued about six days. A Tier the inflammation and swelling had subsided, six ueedlea were found deep in thu flesh, about three inches from the elbow. May 20th, fourteen were taken out, higher and more on toe posterior sidu ol the arm 30lh, seventeen were taken from the urm and shoulders. Some of these were supellicial, lying just uuder the skin, but most of them lay deep in the hYli, und u number entirely uuder the biceps muscle. One, of large size, lay with two-thirds is length imbedded in the brachial artery. One large darning-needle was found lying directly on the bone, tit the insection of the deltoid muscle ; this caused some inliammatioii und suppuration, which led to its detection. June 4lh, twelve were removed from the left arm, two from the wrist, eleven from the left, und one from the riiiht breast, 'i he whole number extracted during the month of June, was eighty-seven ; bepleinuer, ten; October, twenty-eigut most ly from the left breast und left side of the ab domen. About the last of November, 1853. she was attacked with violent spasms. These continued about three weeks, aud subsequent. ly u large number of needles were fuuud in all parts of her left side, from the shoulder to the knee. When apparently asleep she would converse with bur mother, and tell where the needles might be fouud, but when awake she could seldom be induced to speak ol Ihem.

From January 1854, no needles were found until thu middle ol the lollowing bummer. when she resorted to pins, culling off the heads aud lliiustiiig them into the flesh.

Denr Sir : As we live in the asc or fast travelling mid tall speculations, and feeling a little proud of our membership wi t lithe 'mimi I. st destiny" nation, hoasling thut 'no pent upUtica contracts our powers, lint the whole boundless continent is ours;" und us it nitty be necessary to tnlarijt the continent in order to give "ample ruomauii verge enongii vo poster- it v. whose wellare we, as Americans, snouui ever be mindl'til or; hence, 1 am induced In ask the "privilegu or place in your columns, to offer some hints to posterity as to the mode ol' accomplishing the desired object, pruvi ding Congress dots not donate the public domain. Kucky muiint.iius and till, bel'ore the proper time arrives lor prosecuting the enter prise. To point out the way by which I propose to enlarge the American continent, il is nec essary thut I should first explain my theory, (which by the way, 1 will just whisper in your ear, is the chieV object 1 have iu view.) Geographers tell us that the levels or surface t.r tlie ocean is changing in difftrdiil locali ties rising or. some shores, and receding from others, and lam inl'urmeil thit on tlie const of Delaware Stute u few years ago, (and perhaps yet remaining.) there wus a cellar wall hii.I some portion ol the brick of a house, at all times partially submerged in water, and at high tide entirely overt!.. wed; this is evidence that the eastern shore of the American continent is sinking, and thu level of the ocean comparatively higher than when that house was erected. The question arises, what is the cause or this tliictttatioll or the level .f the ocetitl as compared with the dry laud? My answer, it is owing to a greut extent t the commerce between nations. The vast amount ol heavy material, sin h us iron, Dulchmen und Irishmen transput led from the Kutupeati to lite American continent, since its lirst dis covery, must necessunly to soine extent, have disturbed the equilibrium ofotir lerestial bull in it rapid whol. und shifted the centre of gruvil v cot respnndingly. Natures law is 1 hut of ctiuiiitiri...!. t'i;;;,,.x'c;. ;t;;;-;n,tiur rapid rututiuli ol' the earth upon it axis, iinpurliug a powerful centrifugal lurce, causing u flat tening ol Ihe globe nl the poles, ami uu in creased diameter through the equator, ihe surface oT the ocean is equal distant liom the centre of gravity, tliereloio if we legard the solid portion ol' the globe ns Moating in the waters ol the ocean, und the dry land merely us the muht elevated points of this solid mailer projecting above its level, and Ihe globe rapidly revolving upon iu ux.s, it wutilil maintii'ti il s equilibrium ami the surluce ul the ocean its tiiiifurm level uli.ug the shores ol' the dry land, so long us there was no displacement or removal of the heavy matter of one continent lu that ol' another. Slut suppose the highest mountain of Asia was removed and deposited on the American Out it an- ii t ; it is clear thut nature would Htrti!.'ijle to regain the equilibrium thus de ilesliuyed. the centre of gravity would shift, the low land of the American ciuil ineiil would sink int.. the water, and the Asta'.ic conti nent riso higher above the level of the ocean and inure dry land appear. In the explanation 1 have given of mv theory 1 have shown w hat would decrease the size of "our Native Lund," Cul bless lit r. "may her shallow never grow less," ittul it will be readily perceived (,t ,iM ,euns could be employed to increase her men. Therefore it might be advisable mend to t ).e consideration or i;oniTeui ..1.. to the sitgit of Whentlaiid, the importance of reserving a portion ol the public lauds or creating a sinking fund from the surplus rev enue derived from imports, to enable acorpu. rated company to be created when the neces. sity nrises, to transport all the building stone of the Jtocky mountains, across the I'ueilic to the celestial wall builders, and therebv sink the Asiatic continent a little deeper null push up some more dry land on litis side t.r the globe. Congress granting to said corpo ration, various privileges and immunities nnd a patent for all the dry laud thus rccov, red. Yours truly. klMIJEK CLE A VEIL SiMMOKi.v, Pa., Feb. 23.1, HJ.iV.
