man.
In the evening the hall was crowded to its
utmost capacity; every seat and every foot of
standing room being occupied After the lee
lure the Professor requested the committee to
state the name of the subject, for the benefit of
the audience when Mr.. PURIFY, Clerk of the
Court, and chairman of the committee, announ-
eed The name of LEWIS STERLING, Esq, Sheriff
OF the county, as the man selected. The Pro-
fessor's delineation was then read, which was
full and distinct, reaching the most minute
phases in character, Mr.. STERLING having been
first requested to make note Of anything
which he deemed an error, after which the
committees description was submitted. No
person could help noting the similarity be-
tween the two, as far rs the committee had
gone. Before taking vote Mr. STERLING sta
ted that the Professors deineation was cor
rect. SO far as he kneD himself, in erery particu-
Tar +. Mr.. PCRDY arose and stated that he
would vote for the Professors description in
preference to the committees not that it was
nearer correct so far as they had gone, but it
was more thorough and full than they had at
tempted to be, and consequently more perfect.
In hearing it read over he could recognize
many points and peculiarities IN Mr. STER-
LING s character which he knew to be correct
The two were then put to vote, when the au-
dience ,cithoat a dissenting roice, pronounced in
favor of the chronological delineation the

Phrenology and Physiology.

E.E- Prof. POWERS is now delivering
series Of lectures upon these interest
ing sciences, at the Court House, and
will probably lecture every evening Of
this week. The Professor adapts his
arguments and his matter TO the popular
appreciation, and besides making a
sound, scientific argument, really gives
a most entertaining and popular lecture.
We have heard one lecture on Phrenolo

IV An unknown corresnor

Iy- An unknown correspondent does

pie of weeks ago lie paid his respects to
them in general, and this week more in

that our friends verses are models Of po
eical elegance. We think, however,
that he don't fail in correct conclusion,
in uniformly locating the future home Of
the Copperheads in the regions of Pluto.
We are a little like the Unlversalsl
