TRAVIS A. D. WEAVER, . rj Chairman. a DANIEL R. BEALL, fog JOHN N. WEBB. A true copy of the original. 'll. T. JENNINGS, Clork. WONDERS OF ELECTRICITY. A man’s head ci;t off and put ON ANOTH ER man’s Body —UE RECO\EUS. From the Annales ilejlu Etrangeri*.] On tne 18th of April, 1808, iu the prison of Tillariea (Province of Minas Gernes.j in Brazil, two men named Averto and Cannes were executed at the same time. In Brazil executions take place with closed doors, in the interior of the prison. Dr. Lorenzo y Car mo, of Rio Janeiro, well known by sa vants for his remarkable works on electric ity applied to physiology, his surgical skill, and his success in autoplastic operation, ob tained permission to profit by this event in order to experiment on the power of elec tricity, and to illustrate its analogy with some of the phenomena of lile. The nu merous experiments hitherto attempted have been made on the head and trunk separate ly. Dr. Lorenzo y Oartno’s design was, if possible, to unite the head to the neck uli ter decapitation. The heads of the two criminals fell with in in a few minutes of each other into tho same basket—first that of Carines, then that of Aveiro. Inirae Lately after this see* ond execution, a compression was effected by a pupil of Dr. Lorenzo, on the carotid arteries of one ol the heads, so as to stop the hemorahage. The body was then plac ed on a bed alread prepared, and Dr. Lo renzo stuck the head as exactly as possible on the section and kept it in that position. The cells of a powerful electric pile were applied to the base of the neck and on the breast. Under this influence, as in former experiments, the respiratory movements were at onee perceptible. As the blood which penetrated in abundance through tho surface of the scar threatened to stop tho passage of air. Dr. Lorenzo had recourse to tracheotomy. Respiration then ensued reg ularly. The head was fastened to tho body by stitehes and by a special apparatus. — The physiologist wished to ascertain for how long a time this appearance of life could thus be artificially maintained. His antonishment was great when bo saw that at the end of two hours not only did respriration still continue under tho influence of the electric current, but that circulation had’even resumed a certain reg ularity. The pulse beat freely'but sensibly. The experiment was continued without ins terniission. At tho end of 92 hours it war evident to the astonishment of every one that a process of cicatrization had commen ced on the lips of the section. A little lates signs of life manifested themselves sponta neously in the head and limbs, till then de prived of motion. At this moment the di rector of the prison, arriving for the first time in the experiment room, observed that by a singular mistake due to the haste of the operation, the head of Carines had been taken tor that of Aveiro, and had been ap plied to the body of the latter. The expe riment was continued notwithstanding.— Three days later the respiratory movements reproduced themselves, and electricity was suppressed. Dr. Lorenzo y Carmo an i his assistants were stupefied, heightened at a result so unexpected, and at the power of an agent which, in their hands, had restor ed life to a body whose right to exist the law ha 1 forfeited. The learned surgeon, who had only had in view a simple physiological experiment, employed all his skill to continue this work, which science, aided against all expecta* tion by nature, had so singularly commen ced. lie assisted the process of cicatriza tion, which progressed under the most fa vorable conditions. By means of an sevo shagian probe, liquid nourishment was in troduced into the stomach. At the end of ab >ut three months, the cicatrization was comple, and motion, though still difficult became more and more extended. At length, at the end of seven months and a half, Aveiro-Carines was able to rise and walk, feeling only a slight stillness in the neck, and a feebleness in the limbs. Justice in New York.— Judge Dowling, of New Y’ork, lovea a practical joke. The other day a man was before him charged with whipping his wife. llow came he to whip you? asked Judge Dowling. ‘Underneath where we live, at No. 470 Grand street, there is a dance house/ ex plained the wife. ‘I was told that my hus band was there, and I took a woman with me and went and looked in.’ ‘Was your husband there?’ pursued the Judge. ‘Yes, sir/ ‘Dancing ?’ ‘Yes, sir V ‘Did you go inside?’ ‘No, sir ; but my husband saw me, and goon came up to my room, when he beat me and mashed the furniture/ ‘lt was not a proper place for her to go/ spoke the husband. ‘lt was a proper place for you, I sups pose V ‘Any place is proper for men.’ ‘Do you think so ?’ Y r es, sir * Well, then, I’ll send you to the penite,3 tiary for three months/ INTO. *2.
