Interesting Scientific Experi
ment.
We hare already given some account
of the examination of the eyes of a mur
dered man at Auburn, by two physicians
with a view of testing the truth of an as
sertion in an English paper that the eye
of a murdered man, by being subjected
to a peculiar operation, will reveal the
object upon which it last rested. As
the subject is one of considerable interest
we give the statement of the physicians
in their own words :
Singular Optical Experiment. —
From the circumstances of reading Dr.
Forbes’ system of examination in the
case of murder, which appeared in sever
al of our papers a few months ago, we
have been induced to exercise a similar
experiment on the eye of the unfortunate
Beadle, and trust the result will induce
some of your readers to make the like
experiment on the eyes of the brute cre
ation.
At first we suggested the saturation
of the eye in a week solution of atrophine
which evidently produced an enlarged
state of the pupil. On observing this,
we touched the end of the optic nerve
with the extract, when the eye instantly
became portuberant. We now applied
a wonderful lens, and discovered in the
pupil the rude, way-worn figure of a man
with a light coat, beside whom was a
round stone,standing or suspended in
the air, with a small handle stuck as it
were in the earth. The remainder was
debris, evidently lost from the destruc
tion of the optic nerve and its seperation
from the mother brain. Had we per
formed this operation w hen the eye was
entire in the socket, with all its power
ful connection with the brain, there is
not the least doubt but that we should
have detected tin- last idea and impression
made on the mind and eye of the un
fortunate man.
The thing would evidently be entire ;
and perhaps we should have had the
contour, or better still, the exact figure
of the murderer. The _last impression
before death is always more terrible on
the brain from fear than from any other
cause, and figures impressed on the
pupil more distinct, w hich we attribute
to the optic nerve, and its free commu
nication with the brain. We believe
the brain is mote intimately connected
with vision than either with sense or
taste, hearing or feeling, and from this
very reason, that we are constantly
seeing a variety of objects, giving exer
aiee to the brain for the quantity of idea.

Shocking Occurrence.
Two Women Eaten by Wolves.
The Dumbfiies (Canada) Reformer,
of October 15th, contains the following
account of~a shocking event which oc
curred at the township of Mornington.
Canada:
“Our pen has seldom had to record a
more heartrending circumstance than we
are about to ielate. Some ten days ago,
in the northerly extremity of the town
ship of Mornington, two females went
out in the evening in search of their cows,
and not returning that night search was
made in the morning,’when sad to relate
their skeletons were only to be found,
their flesh having been completely-de
voured by the wolves. Wo are yet un
able to retold the particulars—the sad
outlines only having as yet reached us.
Our informant also states that a man in
that locality has been missed for the last
ten days. No trace of him can be found
whatever, and fears are entertained that
be met the same lamented fate as the
unfortunate women.
Tie wolves were never before known
to be so numerous or so ravenous as they
are this season in this section of the coun
try. It is regarded as unsafe to be alone
on the public highways after dark. Re
ports are reaching u* almost every week
of some of their ravages through the
country. Almost every body has been
visited by» them and mischief done to a
greater or less extent.
A farmer in North Easthope had
thirty sheep killed in one single night
by them. They drove them to the barn
yard and killed them there. A few
nights previous they killed twelve belong
ing to the same man.
Bears are also numerous and remark
ably saucy. A Mr. Bennett, of Morning
ton, was attacked a short time ago in his
own fields, a little after dark, by an old
bear with three cubs. lls fought her off
till some of the neighbors came to his
relief. An immense one was killed in
Mornington a few days ago.
Gen. Harrison’s House burned.—
The Louisville Courier says: “The bright
light which lit up the heavens so bril
liantly on Friday night denoted the burn
ing in Jeffersonville of perhaps the only
bijj|4ing of historical importance in this
vicinity. It was the house in which
Gen. WiLfdAM 11. Harris n lived when
he was Governor of the North-western
Territory.’’
in lAiistu sum fiiifiio
W. Gilmore Simms.
The Boston Traveller, of the 6th, says
we are delighted to hear that this cele
brated novelist, the best Southern repre
sentative of American Literature, is com -
ing North this fall, and during the win
ter is to deliver a series of lectures in
many of our principal cities. We hope
that the Mercantile Library Associations
will make haste to secure his early
services for his full course. It is due
to the honor of the American Athens,
and no less due to Mr. Simms himself—
who by a long life of the most wonderful
literary industry, a success whose recog
nition has been temporarily limited only
by local causes, and a genius whose
fruits only’ need a wider recognition
to be universally appreciated—that he
should receive at the hands at the citizens
of Boston the best compliment they can
bestow. We are not informed as to the
subject of any single lecture or of the
series, but whatever it may be, our rea
ders may be assured that ho lias chosen
nothing which his scholarship, his liter
ary skill and his brilliant genius will not
carefully adorn.
Fattening Turkeys. —The alimentary
properties of charcoal are very great;
iudeed, it has been asserted that domestic
fowls may be tatteuea on it without any
other food, and that, too, in a shorter
time than on the most nutritions grains.
In an experiment made to test the value
of the article, four turkeys were taken
and confined in a pen, and fed on meal
boiled potatoes and oats. Four others
of the same brood, were also confined at
the same time, in another pen, and fed
daily on the same articles but with one
pint of very finely pulverised charcoal
mixed with their meal and potatoes ;
they had also a plentiful supply of bro
ken charcoal in their pen. The eight
were killed on the same, day, and there
was a difference of one at and a half pounds
each in favor of the fowls which had
been supplied with the charcoal, they
being much fatter and the meat greatly
superior in point of tenderness and flavor.
This would appear to establish, beyond
a doubt, the benefit of charcoal for fat
tening purposes.
A New Pistol. —The Albany Times
states that a pistol has been invented in
that city which will fire nine'y times per
minute carry a ball forty yards further
than any pistol now in use, and that it is
also much lighter and in every respect
superior to Colt’s celebrated pistols.
JIST The preacher who lost sight of
his subject, has ordered a telescope with
double glasses, with a view to hunt it up.
Many young ladies make fools of
themselves by the looking glass, and
many young men by the drinking glass.

The Montreal Transcript ) speaking of
WISTAR’S BALSAM OF WILD CHERRY,
June 19, says: “We believe it to be generally
recognized as a useful medicine by medical men,
and we can state, with perfect truth and sinceri
ty, that in one case with which we are more par
ticularly acquainted—that of an old gentleman,
at least eighty years of age, residing a few miles
from this city, and who is troubled at times with an
asthmatical complaint—the most decided relief
is obtained whenever he makes use of the Bal
sam ; this, at the advanced period of life which
he has arrived at, may be considered an unan
swerable proof of its virtues.”
Look out for imitations.

Extract of a letter receiv ed from Rev. C. B.
Thomas, Tavoy.
Messrs. P. Davis a Son— Dear Sirs •
The Karens here, have become acquainted with
your medicine, and their demand for it is to me
very surprising. I have by me orders for more
than fifty bottles; I therefore wish you to send
me a quantity, and I will pay you through the
Treasurer of the Missionary Union. There is no
medicine which stands so high in the estimation
of the Karens of these provinces as your Pain
Killer, and I feel willing to gratify them, as l
entertain a very high opinion of its worth.
Messrs Perry Davis & Son I find it neces"
sary to address you again, as my most sanguine
expectations have been more than realized. The
call for your valuable medicine is increasing so
very rapidly that I fear I shall soon be unable to
keep pace with it. My object in writing now
is to beg that on receipt of this you will kindly
dispatch another batch as ordered in my letter
of June last. I hope I will not be entirely out
before your last shipment reaches me, of which
however, 1 have not yet heard from you.
Yours sincerely, J. L. CARRAU, Calcutta.
The Grand Secret of Health.
At least one half of our sick population
of both sexes and all ages, might enjoy robust
health if they could only be brought to believe,
practically, that ‘ cleanliness is next to godliness.’
Foj this reason every invention of genius und
discovery of science that renders bathing a luxu
ry, merits the thanks and patronage of every re
al philanthropist. The " Balm of a Thousand
Flowers f more than any other cosmetic in the
world, effects this object : it impregnates the wa
ter—hard and soft, hot and cold—with a medici
nal property very invigorating to the body, and
gives to it an oily softness, and sweet perfume,
which cause the bather a delicious feeling of per
sona! comfort, purity and health.

SIGNS OF THE TIMES.
UNLOOKED FOR TESTIMONY.
TO DYSPEPTICS.—Says the “ Spirit of the
Age:" —lt is not an insignificant fact—rather
an important one—and indicative of the long
promised “good time coming,” that we have,
with increasing frequency, additions from the
ranks of regularly educated physicians to the
number of those who have humanely come for
ward aid interposed between the Patent Medi
cine Quacks and their innumerable dupes through
out the country. The evils which have resulted
from the success of a few persons in this line, are,
we believe, incalculable. Hosts of venal imitator
—groveling panderers to their own base passions,
avarice, and a prurient ambition, have sprung up
on every side and Hooded the country with foul
decotions, disguised by their inodorousness and
bad taste, proclaiming them universal Panaceas
for all diseases.
This subject has not hitherto failed to attract
the attention of philanthropists, and if it did not
receive that atUntio i which is ho evidently de
manded, it was because no available means for its
suppression presented themselves. A remedy is,
however, now being applied to the evil, which
will not only abate it, but finally, und we hope,
ere long, exterminate it.
Regular medical practioners are now placing
their best prescriptions in a popular form before
the public—thus affording the advantages of their
skill and science without the usual consulting fee
in those disorders of ascertained character, and
which may be treated on known principles. We
hope that accessions to the number of those phy
sicians who prefer to seek the sick and heal them
rather than repose m a dignified retirement of the
profession, waiting “ a can,” will increase until
the whole race of humbugs are extinct, and people
be assured that a popular medicine is really worth
the wrapper that envelopes it—a rather uncertain
matter with some of the nostrums that are now
afloat.
We were led into these remarks by a conversa
tion which we just have had with a gentleman—a
friend, who for years had been a sufferer from
Dyspepsia. We knew him once cheerful, robust
and healthy—and, again, from the effects of this
health-destroying disorder, emaciated, crabbed
and miserable. Whilst noticing, agreeably, a
great change wrought within a few weeks in his
appearance and manner, he, as if divining our
thoughts, asked if we did not think he was im
proving, and proceeded to tell us of the wonder
ful properties and great value as a remedy, of
“ BLISS’ DYSPEPTIC REMEDY.” Bliss Hum
bug! cried we. But a letter from a lady in New
York recommended our friend to try, as he ex
pressed it, this Blissful remedy, and his serious
ness in attesting his restoration to health being
owing to its use, our doubts vanished, and we de
termined to give our readers the advantage ofour
friend’s experience in a short paragraph. Should
this meet the eye of Dr. Bliss, No 363 Broadway,
New York, whom we don’t know from Adam, he
will accept our thanks, as the medium of restor
ing to us a friend, estranged by disease, in the
health and cheerfulness ofaispositiou in which we
formerly knew him.
As we have not noticed in any ofour exchanges
mention of this remedy, we would say to Dr. 11.,
place your discovery w ithin the reach of all—ad
vertise—let your light shine, even though it may
not be reflected in the “Spirit of the Age.”
