Kimball dwelt beautifully upon the structure of the spiritual and physical faculties of human nature. - In childhood and extreme youth, she said, we enjoy most that which we. best comprehend; the faculties of taste and smelling are, perhaps, as finely developed in a young child as in an adult, while other faculties of perception yet remain quite dormant.

Several mounds are also in the woods, and in one which has been partially explored were found skulls and bones, which from their size, must have belonged to a race of beings far more gigantic than the race- which now inhabits the earth. In this mound were also found many clay utensils; also arrow-head- s cut out of the solid rock, and pipes or the same material. Such a memorial of Jhje past starts many inquiries.
