William u. Todd, which would be NH accommodi-
ton to him-savc him the trouble Of going to bank,
&c. This was readily complied with, and the bal.
ance Of the check In money, politely returned TO the
purchaser who then departed. Mr.. l.. coon nfttr
stepped down to The Bank Of Washington to have
the check cashed when Mr.. Swcony, the teller, made
some remarks about the writing looked at 1t suspi-
ciousy, but upon Mr.. Ecke endorsing II, the money
was paid.
Mr., +. returned TO his store, nnd--behold was
again honorcd with visit from the rogue, who call

some conversation, he said no had some thought Of
buying other articles such was his plausibillty

Function or the skin in Man and Animal

Function OF the SKIN ia Nlon Rhu AmimNis.
In q very curious experimental paper, DR. Ducros
shows that coating Of gninac put on the skin Of
animals, causes them 10 die In longer or shorter
time by producing convulsiye movements similar 10
epilepsy. When the animals coated with gum. lac
were subjected to electricity they died In much
shorter time. He next tried the effect of metallic
coverings he entertained the notion that, because
they had opposite electrical properties, animals so
coated would die with symptoms of an opposite ma
turc. He therefore cut of the hair from some ami
folly and found that they persisted with symptoms of
coating consisted OF roslnous substance When
the tin was covered with coating Of gum-lac the
animals persisted still more rapidly Ho then placed
under The influence Of electricity some OF the animals
covered with plates Of tin found that 80 long as they
remained connected with the electrical current their
vigor appeared TO be restored; but that whenever
arrested they appeared ready TO perish. The
object of these experiments 10 ascertain what |
would be the likely effect OF such coverings In certain

SIX Wings and thirty-lour Democrats. But
the best informed think that the new ad-
minstlation will receive the support Of Mr..
