PHYSIOLOGICAL LEcTuRE.-Dr. Barlow ].
Smith treated a respectable audience of our
citizens to a rambling lecture on Phrenology
with flying references to physiology and hy-
dropathy, ON Thursday evening. He was
prevented from giving bis regular course of
lectures by the pre-engagement of the The
alter by Prof Anderson, and attempting to
crowd too much into one lecture his effort
was rather more amusing than instructive
lie convulsed the audience by telling of
fellow who endowed with but little intel
lect yet '.had Judgment enough to kill seve-
raj hildren'-thereby reminding one of
Charles Lambs funny toast to ':that much
calumniated individual. King Herod!' lie
also narrated the case of an ''awful contrary
critter," female murderer, who would not
permit herself to be hung without unseemly
resistance. He asserted of Barnum, the
great Snowman, that he always gave people
their moneys worth, seven if he exhibited
a bare woman"-though he explained this
nude suggestion to mean IA woman like
bear;" and he also gave an affecting account
of poor wretch who ended dreadful state
of mental suspense by eating his saspenders
rather a novel mode of suicide. The suS-
penders were made Of rubber, and the rub
ber wiped him out.

lighted the people of two henisphercs by his
sleght of hand performances. He will be

and is sure of crowded houses. San Juaners
who have seen him at Nevada speak of his
exhibitions rs surprising all they ever wit
