When o. S. Fowler-so the story runs--irst com. meiced the examination of bumps, some of the stu dents in the New York University were disposed to quiz him. A peculiar shaped squash was found in the college yard, and plaster cast taken of one end ot it, quite closely resembling the cast of a human skull. This was taken to Fowlers rooms, and he was given to understand that the original was closely connected with literary institution. The phrenologist took the cast in his hand and cx- amined 1t with some care. when bright thought struck him.

[We commend the following remarks, from the pen of a son of Litchfeld County, to those who think no harm would ensue to Mis community by the opening of a billiard room in our village l A
 THE GREAT BILLIARD MATCH.
 The Detroit papers have contained of late from two to three columns descriptive of the great billiard match which came off in that city between two distinguished "sportsmen," one from New York, the other the boasted son of that sporting city, Detroit. The queen ot England would not have attracted larger crowd than did these gamblers, and the pa- pers would not have made half as much fuss about her. They call it the game of games, popular game" "genteel game" &c. &c, melting all the young men in the country to take 1t up, drawing the crowd of youth into the gamblers den, to become the victims of this game, of all others the most destructive, because the most fascinating. See young man who spends his time around the billiard table and you may set him down as ruined. If he lnherits fortune, he will squander it. ',
 It is fine game We love it, we confess. We Ike to see it played, we have 8 passion for it even now Fourteen years ago we could handle the cue equal to the best of them. To '-Ns'S :" SeOi0 SiooO IO uo WC lCdScu u TOuu tUE one immediately over our office. Here we took great delight. Much of our time was spent there business was neglected, money was spent, not in gambling but in paying for the use of the table. It absorbed all our thoughts studying night and day how to make a nice stroke and have good runs. Finding. after few months, this fascinating game was likely to prove our ruin, we resolved never to play another, cleared the table out, and from that day to the present. have never takeuit up We have, however, watched others-seen young men pay out their last dime and run in debt for the game. When we see public prints nsing their exertions to get all the world to gaming, to draw all the young meu around billiard table, betting thousands of dollars upon the result of game, calling it ' popular' to see two notorious gamblers, there is a depraved state of society around them, aud such papers make it still worse. These remarks may not suit the "sporting' gentry, those whose mind is all absorbed in that " fascinating" game. To all young men we wish to say, let the game of billiards alone. It does not improve the intellect, nor the mind in any respect It brings you in contact with the vicious, with gamblers, with the intoxica- ting cup, squanders your time and money, and ten to one if it will not prove your ruin.

gg- Rev. Mir. Van Lennep, (mssionary in Tocat, Asia Minor writes to his father in-law, Rev. Mir. Bird, of Hartford that the missionary premises at that place burned to the ground on the 9th of March-and that nothing was saved except the clothes they had on. The mischief is attributed 10 the bgotry of the native population. Speaking of the losses, he says: a5 5a.. s.-.E
 " In Constantinople and other places where there are Franks, a man can easily replace any garment that may be lost, but in such a place as this it is impossible to procure any of the articles which we have been accustomed to re- gard as indispensable to our comfort nor can Mrs. Van Lennep procure needle, thread and scissors.
