and the other named John Finlan, resided
in 9th street, near the East River with

not long been in the house before the wo-
men removed the light, and hung cloth

had many articles stolen, he watched him
narrowly, and at length he was seen by
him, gathering pebbles with much solem-

PHRENoLoGY.-Not long since, gen.
tleman found large turnip in his field
of the resemblance and features of the
human head. Struck with the curiosity
he took cast from it, and sent it to a
stating that it was taken
from the head of Baron Pompolino, dis
Hanoverian, and requesting
his opinion. After having examined it,
he declared that there was an unusual
prominence which denoted that he was a
man of acute mind and quick perception
This opinion he transmitted to the owner
of the cast, requesting, as particular
favor, that he might see the head. To
this he politely replied, "he should have
felt pleasure in complying whith his re-
quest but he was very sorry to say, he

To counteract at once the principle of decay,
which commencing imperceptibly, slowly ga

portant service which can be derived from the
use of the Chloride of Soda, when administered
with skill and care. The diseases of the Teeth
being, in the great majority of cases, the result
of neglect and gradual accumulation of the
principle above alluded to, it became obvious
from the earliest experiments, that the Chloride
was the proper remedy and preferable to pow

tension. BY chemical analysis, it will be
found that the greater proportion of the Chic
