I have not had the opportunity to see all that the writer has described, but of what Ihave seen he has certainly been very moderate in his statement of the effects. Tt has been roughly estimated that the os$ on the Methodist property alone will not be less than $800. I expect to ox-amine the results closer than I have had time to do up to the present. I have already seen several things that are exceedingly interesting and good phenomena for scientific investigation. These I shall send at a later date.
