Lectures OF {. W. Gleason, Nj. D.

Though We have had the pleasure of list
ening to several courses of lectures. at differ
ent times, and by different able lecturers, on
the subject Of human Physiology and the
Philosophy of life and health, never have we
heard series Of lectures upon the subject so
instructive and deeply interesting as that of
DR.. Gleason's, which closed on Monday eve
ming last.
The DR.. is not q fine elocu.ionist, but he is
nevertheless, rather an eloquent and forclble
speaker. Though he often violates the estao-
lshed rules of our rheto.icians, yet, from the
profound knowedgehe be has of Anatomy,Phys-
iology and Hygiene, and the earnestness and
truthfulness with which he present to his
audience the importance Of strickly observing
all the Physiological Laws and the disasterouS
consequence to life and health which follow
violation of them, he scarcely ever fails to
make his subject highly entertaining Ills
anecdotes we're well timed and very appro-
pirate, affording much amusement TO bis au-
dence. Ills description Of our modern fash
ionable gentleman p who seem to think "the
chief end of man is" not "to gIorify
God, but to drink brandy and to
fool silly women. was admirable, The
wasp wasted, dispeptic, good-for-nothing' lit
tie exquisites-our nowadays model bellies
who destroy their constitution, and all the
high and noble endowments of their minds
by tight.acing and inactiyity-who are
ashamed of their own mothers, because they
are $50 coarse" having been educated to
work-the DR.. pictured as natural as life
In these remarks we mean, of course, no true
gentleman or lady; we mean those only to
whom the remarks may apply-those "wouid-
be ladies and gentlemen, without industry OF
brains.
The Dr. is perfect gentleman in the true
sense Of the term; and in our way of think
ing, is making himself exceedingly and ex.
tensively useful. We are inclined to think
however, that the DR.. carries some OF his ideas
little too far That man can obey all the
laws of his being, and consequently live
century without pain, and then die without
struggle or a groan, is a theory far more beau
tiful than true. That people take too much
medicine, or rather,that they patronize quack'
too literally, is too true; but that they do no
need good medicines administered by skiIlfu
physician is not true. We look upon phy
sician of sound sense, devoted to his profess
ion, as one of the greatest benefactors of man
kind.
In conclusion we would say, that in ou
opinion, the course of lectures delivered b,
the DR.. will be of lasting benefit, to the large
intelligent and attentive audiences, which h
addressed during his sojourn among us, will
so much politeness and success. We hope hi
may be abundantly prospered in bis noble et
forts to teach those great principles and law
of our exstince which, if observed as the.
could and should be, would tend in yer.
great degree, at least, to secure "our being

The proposition made in the House Repre-
sentatiyes. by Mr.. Garter of Ohio, that the
Tariff should be made with the ultimate
view to Free Trade and direct taxation, was
assented to by The House. This is the re-
suit towards which the measures of the
the Democratic party have been long tend
ing. and the sooner they reach it. the better
for their own consistency. We are told, both
at home and abroad, that their victory
was triumph of Free Trade. II such be
the case. why is there any hcsItancy to en-
brace its principles at once. and lei the ma
ton see It's effects. BY all means let us try
the experiment Of "Free Trade and direc,
taxation" at once, and live four years under
it, Let the people know and appreciate what
it means. Let US have no half way, mongrel
measures. but free trade, with all its supposed
blessings. followed by the direct taxation

iions declare to be the only legitimate me

The sunday Liquor Question.

The Supreme Court Of Pennsylvania
has sustained the judgment OF the lower
court in the case of ann inn-keeper at
Pittsburgh, who was adjudged to pay fine
and costs on a conviction OF having sold
liquor on the Sabbath day. The court
decided that the act OF Assembly forbid
ding worldly employment on Sunday
does not exempt the sale OF liquor by an
inn-keepcr to a sojourner on Sunday,
but such sale is within the prohibition Of
the act; aud further, that license TO
sell liquors by small measure for year
does not confer the right to sell on Sun
days. All the tayerns and groggeries
are accordingly closed up in Pittsburgh,
on Sunday.

ExsraerdIsary D..esv.vv.

On Monday last, whilst some hands on
the Cincinnati, Wilmington and Zsnes-
vile RaIlroad, at Cussack's Mill, about
iyes miles South Of this city, were
quarrying stone, n human skeleton was
found Embedded In rock, on bluff bank,
on the south branch Of Jonathsn's creek,
thirty feet from the surface. A small
fssurc In the rock ofabout two inehes
In width opened TO the resting place Of
these remains, which In all human prob
ability, may have been deposited there
centuries ago. The rock contained an
indentation Of the greater part Of the
body, as perfect az though moulded Of
potter's clay. Fiom the hip 10 the foot
particularly, this sarcophagus was 40
complete as carving could have made IL.
The proportions, curvaturcs. &C., Of the
limbs were distinct and regular. and In
dcated that the skeleton had been that
of a person Of full size.
How, aud at what period OF the word,
these remains were deposited where
found, furnishes a wide theme for con-
lecture, as well as subject for the dis
cussion OF geologists. The rational
NV titat ~ Etttt WI ~
cient period this body bad been washed
from the creek Into the bank Of the
stream, and that the continual deposit Of
sand around Il formed into rock, which
has been increasing for ages, as ages on
y could have formed the immense
amount ofyery hard sand stone which
surrounded IL. af as -
This discovery establishes what past
history has heretofore failed 10 establish,
TO wit: The phenomenon OF human
skeleton within body Of solid roek.--
We have no hesitation In believing, from
tbs appearance ofthe rock, that at one
period the PARTON Surrounding this body
was entire aud solid. but that the under.
mining Of tho rock by the stream, or
some great cenyulsion Of nature, had
opened the assure which existed when
these remains were discovered.
We saw this skeleton and the rock
from which Il was taken, the day after ID
had been discovered. The bones were
In good state OF preservation. A por-
ton Of the skull may be seen at our pdiee.

Yesterday afternoon, lady and gen.

Goodrich, clerk OF the Columbus, were
returning in buggy. Near the Harlem
House, the gentleman was smoking a
cigar, when spark of the fire fell from

served until il broke out into n blaze,
threatening serious consequences. She
became alarmed 4 jumped to the ground
although the buggy was being driven at

hind them; they hastened up and put out

injured. They burned their hands
slightly in accomplishing it.
