Notiee of his 'xmiing and what he would do was Riven in the papers several Uuys before be arrived. ' The meeting was' in a public hall. The president and several professors and many students of the Ohio Wesleyan University and also a few citizens were present. Mr. O. C. Brown, of Carding! on, O., stated what he could do, and introduced him and conducted the examination. Mr. S. Moore, of the First National "Bank, was prepared with calendars and other documents to test his claims. Other gentio-mewere also prepared in various ways to decide the truth of Mr. Browns statement. Bir. M .MiWn fifty.fnnr yonr. old. medium height, rather heavy set, with head ; complexion rather large, pale. Countenance sober, dignified, benevolent. Eyes defective, not being able to see ci arly. and not yet entirely blind. His speech was deliberate and conSdent, using but few words. His dress was cheap, but decent. The audieuee was- requested to ask any questions they choso. As the examination went on we soon found that every thing that has passed before his mind for forty years was remembered. X can only refer to a few tilings that occurred ia the two hours of most varied questioning. He could teil the day of the week (by having the year ami day of the month) back for forty years, and ted it instantly. Ho could tell the (hues of nioso important events from his boyhood. Could give the state of the weather, fore noon and afternoon, for forty years without mistake. Ho was a complete concordance of the New Testament and most of the Old Testament Irof. Hoyt (Hebrew professor) read a large number of passages from the Scrip tures, till the audience was entirely satisfied that he anew whore every passage was. Ho could tell what he was doing everyday from his boyhood. President Merrick having prepared himself on several dates, asked him what ho was doing on a certain day, naming the time, several years before. Looking at the eclipse, said he. His multiplication table went up into millions. He could give the cube root of numbers up to millions almost instantly. One of the numbers given was ten figures deep, another was eleven figures deep. Ho could raise any number under forty to the sixth power instantly. He could raise anv number under 100 to the Sixth power in ten or fifteen minutes. Ho was given the number eighty-nin- which is a prime number and more difficult, but he raised it in a few minutes (406, 981, SIX FT). Ho could instantly give tho minute'. and seconds of periods of time from tho Mosaic creation, and could give tho foot or inches of several distances. Prof. H. M. Perkins (professor of astronomy) asked him a question. McCartney said he had never been given such a question, he would see.
