At halfpast eleven O'Clock last night the
one story frame dwelling of Constable j.

though the North Nashville engine arrived
in time to do good work. The loss is
heavy; insurance' 5000.

PHYSICAL EFFECTS OF MU-
SIC.

1t communicates to the body
shocks which agitate the mem bers to
their base. In churches, the fame
of q candle oscilates to the quake of
the organ. A powerful orchestra
near q sheet of water ruf1es it's sur
face. A learned traveller speaks Of
an iron ring, which swings to and
fro to the sound of the Tivoli Falls.
In Switzerland I excited at will, in
a poor child afflicted with a frightful
nervous malady, hysteric and cstal-
optic cries, by playing on the minor
key of E fat. The celebrated DR..
Bertier asserts that the sound of a
drum gives him the collie. Certain
medical men state that the sound of
the trumpet quickens the pulse, and
induces slight perspiration. The
sound of the bassoon is cold, the
notes Of the French horn at dis
lance, and Of the harp, are voluptu-
GUS. Ihe flute, played softly in the
middle register, Gains the nerves.
The low notes Of the piano frighten
children.
I once had a dog who would gen
orally sleep on hearing music; but
the moment I played in the minor
key, he would bark piteously. The
dog of a celebrated singer whom I
knew, would moan bitterly, and
give signs Of violent suffering, the
instant his mistress chanted chro-
matte gamut.
A certain chord produces oa my
own sense of hearing the same effect
as the heliotrope on my sense of
smell, and the pineapple on my sense
of taste. Rachel's voice delighted
the ear by it's ring before one had
time to seize what was said, or APP
preciate the purity~of her diction.
We may affirm, then, that music
al sound, rhythmical or not, agitates
the whole physical frame, quiekens
the pulse, incites perspiration, and
produces a pleasant momentary irri-
tation of the whole nervous sys-
tenn.

THE VOICE OF THE SHELL.

When shell is held to the ear, there is pecu-
liar vibratory noise, Phiosophically investigated
the peculiar sound thus recognized is a phenome-
non that very much perplexed learned gentlemen
for long while. The experiment is easily made
by simply pressing spiral shell, common in col
lectons, over the cerebra of either ear If large
hell, the sound ls very much like that of far-off
araract. Now, what causes it? Every mu sole in
the body is always in state of tension. Some are
more on the stretch than others particularly those
of the fingers. 1t is conceded that the vibration
of the fbres OIL those in the fingers being commu-
nicated to the shell, it propagates and intensifes
it, as the hollow body of violin does the vibra-
ton its strings, and thus the acoustic nerve re-
ce1ves the sonorous Impressions. Muscles of the
leg below the knee are said to vibrate in the same
way, and if conducted to the ear, produce the
same result.

SINGULAR yERIFICATIoN OF A DREAM

The Gloucester Ad0ertiser gives singular beri-
fcation of dream by Captain Samuel Elwell. of
the schooner Belvadier, arrived from Georges at
that port. On Sunday morning, 2tst ult. CAPTAIN
Elwell being unwell retired to his birth and soon
fell asleep, when he dremt that he saw a dead
body al oat on the water and attempted to secure
it, but that it passed under the counter of his
vessel and escaped. His efforts and the dsap-
dointment caused him to awake, and going on
deck he could not throw off the sensation produ-
ced. Half an hour afterwards floating box was
discovered; 1t passed under the counter of the
vessel, and could not be seized till the vessel was
about, when it was secured and found to contain
the body OF little girl, about four years old with
golden brown hair and neatly attired in plaid
dress, white apron and nice gaiter boots. There
were severe injuries upon the forehead and holes
bered in the box, indicating that the child was
murdered, and the perpetrator intended the sea
should cover the crime. AS decompo sition of the
body had commenced, and the vessel was not to
return for several days. the box was nailed up and
Sunk.
