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. C. P. Sanford, M. D. Thomas Bellamy, M. D. Rochester Democrat. 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. Cotton Mnrket. Madison, Friday, Oct. 81 —1? o'clock, M.

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.

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.” BLISS’ DYSPEPTIC REMEDY is sold by BENJ.
