It has long been supposed by a majority that the Garden of Eden was located some place on the Eastern continent, but in a revelation to Joseph Smith, May 19, 1838, it was made known that Spring Hill, in Daviess county, Missouri, was the place where Adam dwelt.

Campbell, Congressman from Kansas, recently received a letter from a constituent living in Oswego, in which he claimed that the ark was launched at some point in the Mississippi valley. He has made a study of the subject from the Bible, and decided from that and other facts that the statement is true. He wishes Mr. Campbell to ask Congress for an appropriation forarcheologiical discoveries, in the state of Mississippi, to determine if the mound builders were not antediluvians.
