Prof. ELLIS, the Blind ~Phrenologist, is
in town examining heads privately and
giving charts. He stops at the Evans
House. We think ELLIS is a good talker
and as capable a bumpologist as ever trav-
eled. His infrmity and his intelligence
unite to commend him to public favor.
An examination Of the head that indicts
this notice, satisfied a company of gentle
men present, of the capacity of the ,teeler !;
we have nothing to say Of the capacity of
the .teet-ed, for the reason that the report
might not be over crcditable. Tom Brown
of the Cresco Waindsaler, lIaislett of the
DEBORAH Register, and Fox Of the TINES
we're also examined. All were pronounc-
ed "fair to middling."......Rev j. S. Jor.
dan Of the Metamora Baptist Church, an
esteemed friend Of ours, and a gentleman
who can always command a large McGre-
COR audience, was married June 9th, and
made a tour to the East and return in
three weeks. In referring to the brevity
of time on the trip he says, humorously,
"that's nothing for people who get up to
be married in time for the Monday morn
ing 5 o'clock train" The ladies name is
Carrie He leaves US to believe the
last name is now JORDAN. Mr.. and Mrs.
Jordan, we wish you all the happiness
you can dispose of in this world, and a
contemplation Of bright paintings in the
next! Hundreds in McGregor will endorse
that wish. 1t is proper to say that on
the return of the tourists, Mr.. J. found his
cottage filled with furniture suitable to the
change in human events. \ deserved

Mr.. Rowland kindly hands us a letter from
Richard Jones, by which we learn that
"Dick'' found John William. at Racine,
travelled with him to Utica, stayed there
several days among hosts of friends, left
for New York, saw John on the steamer,
babe him goodbye, in signs, as he stood
on the upper deck Of his ocean home Us
she left the dock and glided toward the
''deep blue sea amid the cheering farewell
of the crowd On the pier" Jones advises
Tommy Williams, that a Utica young
lady whom he met is far ahead of the
Western girls in elegance of form and
feature. Well bet Jones is "stuck,' and
that Tommy will go for Elkadcr against
the world. We are indebted to Mr.. Jones

can Journals.
