SCIENTIFIC PRopnEcY.-An exchange
paper states that about IS wears ago, a
Mr.. Halt, OF Wilton, in Fairfield county,
Conn, then a remarkably good student
in his collegiate course, was suddenly
deprived Of his memory and reason.
Under these circumstances his father,
the Rev. Mr.. Hat, sent him to Hart
ford, but finding no relief, he sent mm
to DR.. Chaplin, of Cambridge, Mass.
The Doctor said there was no present
relief for him, but at the aye of 36 or
81 there would be a change; that the
brain was too much expanded for the
cranIum, and there would be at that
age contraction, which would enable
it to act healthiIy. His anxious father
and friends saw their hopes perempto-
rily deferred for IS years. That time
has recently expired, and to their great
JOY the prophecy is fulfilled. The man
began to enquire for his books as if he
had just laid them down, and resumed
his mathematical studies where he left
them. There was no trace in his mind
of this long blank IN his life, or any,
thing which had occurred in it, and he
did not know that he was almost 40
years of age.

THE LARGEST GYPSUM FIELD IN THE
WoRLD.-Dr. George G. Shumard, of
Arkansas, recently delivered a speech
upon railroad matters at Fort Smith,
Ark, during which he made known the
very important fact that the largest
Gypsum field in the world lies about
three hundred miles west of Fort Smith,
Ark, in the plans explored by Capt.
Marcy last year, extending over an area
of three hundred miles North and South,
East and West.-The strata in some
places is twenty feet thick, of the purest
kind, white, and in some instances trans
parent. He says there is a sufficient
Quantity oft to supply the whole world,
and would employ a railroad in Its
transportation one hundred years.
