PHRENOLOGY.

Mr.. Combe, in the course of his lecture
last evening, made some excellent remarks
in relation to the functional arrangement
Of an organ of the BRAIN. An organ was
sometimes So much excited by disease or
other causes as to produce monomania,
and this was particularly the case with the
organ Of Destructivcness, and sometimes
resulted in homocidaL inSanity-a subject
which was generally but little understood
1t was the fundamental arrangement of
DeStructivenesS, which sometimes induc-
ed persons, who had heretofore conducted
with propriety, and who had borne a good
character through life, to commit murder,
without any apparent cause whatever
being impelled, as it were invountarly,
TO do the dreadful deed. He related a case
which occurred some years since in the
vicinity of Edinburgh. A man, who had
previously been good, and nofienslve cit
izen, saw a person pass his house on
horseback attacked him with an axe,
without any provocation, and killed him.
He was arrested and tried, and defended
by an able barrister, who endeavored to
convince the Court and Jury of the nature
Of the faculty Of Destructiveness, and &c
show that in this instance the function was
deranged, producing insanity. But as the
man was evidently sane in other respects
the Jury paid little regard to the explana
tons O. the prisoners counsel, and YER.
dict Of guilty was rendered. On the day
previous to his execution the Solicitor Gen
eral was sent for by the keeper of the pri
son, to listen to the confession to the muir
derer, who declared in solemn and cohe
rent manner that in the course of a iey
years he had committed eight difleren
murders, two of which were upon the per
sons oftwo children in the streets of Edin
burgh.-JornaI.

The days of Witchcraft Revived.

Va Wv 1ONAANA GA v 4tO VLNNNs
Our readers will recollect the case of a
mulatto named Yates, recently shot down
and killed in Virginia by white man
named Marsh, on the plea of the latter that
the negro used spells and charms upon him
and his dumb "critters." In reference to
this affair the Abingdon Statesman says
that region is benighted with ignorance
and superstition, and then goes on to re-
late the following, which would have al
most been deemed incredible in the days
of Cotton Mather:
"One Of the balls with which Yates was
shot was produced in Court, and bore upon
its surface certain cross marks, which we
presume were indispensable in order to
make them take effect and break that pow
er of enchantment with which he was sup
posed to be invested, and which he used
without mercy, dealing out spells and
'charms,' not only upon human beings, but
upon dumb critters 1t was proved too,
that Marsh, according to his own story,
had, upon one or more occasions, drawn
the Likeness of Yates with chickens
blood, and having prepared himself with
bullets, into which small quantity ofsil-
YER was put, had taken it to the woods and
fired at it, under the impression that il he
could strike it with a silver bullet, he should
forthwith knock all OF Yates 'conjufing'
powers into atoms, and relieve himself
from the charm under which he labored,
and which was developed in the form of
scroGula."
Such humiliating facts do, as the editor
says, speak trumpet tongued for the intro
duction of common school education into
that state, whose pride on this point does
not seemto have gone hand in hand with
her liberal professions.-Stdr.
