TIE PHENOMENA OF THE BRAiN.-One OF the
most ncouceivabe things in the nature Of the
brain, is that the organ of sensation should itself
be nscnsible. To cut the brain gives no pain,
yet in the brain alone resides the power of feel
ing pain in any other part of the body, Ii the
nerve which leads to it from the injured part be
divided, we become instantly noonscous of suf-
fering, 1t is only by communication with the
brain that any kind of sensation is produced-yet
the organ itself is inscnsibe. But there is cir
cumstaBce more wonderful still. The brain it.
self may be removed may be cut away down TO
the CORPUS calosum, without destroying life. The
animal lives and performs all those functions
which are necessary TO simple vitality, bnt has
no longer Il mind il cannot think or feel il re-
quires that the food should be pushed into its
stomach once there, il is digcsted and the ami
nal will even thrive and grow fat, We infer,
therefore, that the part of the brain called the
convolutions, is simply intended for the exercise
Of the intellect and faculties, whether al low de-
gree called instinct, or Of that exalted kind be.

PoTrsviLLE 4 PHiLa. Raj. RoAp,--lt will be
perceived that the Tonnage upon the articles of
coal alone on this road is increasing weekly in a
most astonishing ratio. The highest amont of
coal shipped by the Rail Road during last season,
we think was in August last, which did not ex.
ceed in any one week $4,000 tons, TINS week
we run up our shipments by this road to over %,
O0O tons olcoal. This promises well 10 the Com
pany, and may be set down not only as an evil
dence Of the increasing prosperity OF our Coal
Region, but as an earnest of the future proiita-
bleness and usefulness of the Road. Perhaps il
would not be out of order here, 10 call attention

seems to us, if completed, would increase in an

ACCIDENT AND NARROW EscArE.-Testerday
morning, June 2Gth,} about 10 O'Clock, grind
stone something like five feet in diameter, used
for grinding hinges at the foundry of Messrs.
MooRE 4 9lDpLE, while in full motion, making
200 revolutions i'll minute, suddenly burst as
sundcr in four pieces, and the centrifugal force
was great, that piece of about 500 pounds
was forced through the wall in the second story
of an adjoining building, l5 OF 20 feet distant
and was arrested only by the wall on the opposite
side of the room, which is considerably injured.
Another piece ascended perpendcuarly through
the roof, tearing raiters &c. into fragments. Ar
chibald McAlis,er, the workman employed in
grinding at the time, discovered by the motion OF
stone that something was wrong, and turning
way from il, was instantly carried of by piece
some fifteen feet distant, but without being mate
rally injured, But for this fortunate move he
would have been instantly killed and shattered
to pieces - DanriNe Democrat
