A PsYcHoLoGIcAL CURIosrTY.-The watchman in
the cupoa of the City Hall is good illustration of
singular effect produced by the mind upon the body-an
effect that philosophy has long observed without being
able fully to explain He either wakes regularly every
hour or he cries the hour correctly while asleep This
has long been observed by OF citizens For in
stance, when the fire which consumed Knlckerbocker
Hall discovered by the private watch of the Banks
and Exchange Company, it was found impossible to
wake him; the whole neighborhood aroused-the
bells OF the several churches were changing their dire
ful chorus-but no sound from the City Hail. friend
of observed looking at his watch that il wanted
but few minutes OF four and remarked See he does
not wake to cry the hour" Sure enough the last
stroke of the clock sounded, forth came the stento-
rial signal heard above all the chaos of alarm that
filed the city, issued directly towards the flames that
and aa.all is welll" This effort seemed to wake him.
for lie directly afterwards gave his alarm. The
singular phenomenon observed on Tuesday morn
ing at the fire in Park street We make complaint.
Our citizens generally understand that they are depend
ent private watchmen for their safety, and seeming
perfectly content to be Our object solely get
at the solution of philosophical problem Does he
wake every hour does he cry while asleep!
