Observation-Disclosures MS Hebf,

1t is understood that in consequence of the adj
mirsbe imitation Of Mesmerism, pronounced by
the best Judges superior To the genuine article,
which WAS performed last MONDAY night by two
Amateurs, it was deemed necessary, to lelieve the
science of the scandal, which attached TO il, that
the whole subject should undergo "a thorough in
vestgaiion at the bands Of the Medical Faculty Of
the city MIR. French, the gentleman who brough
science to town. being he;- with his or 3 subjects
1t was proposed him, that HIS credit, as well as
that Of those whom he had made converts required
the examination. He readily acquiescsd and The
medical gentlemen, AS enlightened faculty as any
city in the Union affords, assembled Mr.. French,
lodgings, at the Exchange, Tuesday, and we're
there engaged during the entire day, making ex-
perments. The report Of these gentlemen has
not vet been published and il is said, that they,
considering that they have authority, without
Mr.. Frenchs consent, TO make publication, have
not done so, for the want oftbat consent. The
rumour, however, is current in the city, tina, the
faculty came unanimously TO the conclusion, that
the whole science is gloss humbug and imposture.
We do not affirm, that such is the fact; but such
is the rumour, which is generally credited. We
ask Tor the Report Of the Faculty, that this rumour
may be confirmed dsspated and that Mr..
French and all others may have justice. Give us
the Reporl-the examination was designed to save
the public from imposition-let us have the facts

ave Just learned some Of the particu-
lars Of an awful tragedy, whichtook place
yesterday morning about the break OF

negro belonging TO Mr.. Hence, went to
,ihe house Of Mrs. Mckay, near the mouth
OF Plumb run, about two miles from
BLOOMFIELD, and deliberately murdered the
,oId lady and young man who was liv-
ing with her as overseer, ard set the house
on fire. One Of Mrs. McKay's negroes IS
missing and supposed to have been burnt
up in the house. The perpetrator OF this
atrocious outrage was taken by party
from Bloomfield, and the neighborhood,
and brought to Col. Aliens, about eight
miles from to~n. While there Mr.. +. ii.

The MURDER OF MAJ. FLOYD. The
St. Louis Bulletin Of the 3lst ult. says
"The excitement in relation to this dia-
boical affair has undergone no abatement;
neither have the police relaxed any Of
their vigilance in ferreting out the villains
who participated in the horrid crime. -
Seven fellows have been committed to
Jail, and four of them have been fully com.
mt,ed before the examining court, and
sent to jail to await their trial before the
criminal court next week. There can be
no doubt Of the guilt Of two Of those CON-
nitted. Mrs. Floyd, the afflicted widow
of the deceased, was in the city yesterday,
for the purpose of confronting those ac-
cused, and she readily recognized McLane
who struck the fatal blow. Ii was a sad
scene 10 witness her emotions when she
first confronted the daring ruffian who
murdered her husband"
