ECIRCULATIoN OF THE BLOOD. Prof.
Marshall of London attributes the hearts
rhythmical movements to the alternate con-
traction and expansion OF the auricles and
vehIlcles; its slight rotary movement, its
TWO peculiar sounds, one long and soft, due
TO the closure OF large valves, the other sharp
and abrupt, due TO the closing OF the small,
semi-lunar valves. The pulse he attributes
blood, caused by the elongation and disten-
sion OF the elastic walls of the arteries and
said TO be simultaneous with, but distinct
from, the onward flow of the blood. The DO
sition of the heart, and its relation to the
nervous system. are, however, such that,
while in health, we are perfectly unconscious
of the existence of the complicated mechan-
ism employed in the circulation OF our blood.

lightning, which descended the chimney
and entered the room through the open
fireplace. Thomas Hewitt, SOU of James
Hewitt farmer at Aliens Corner, about
rs years old, was distributing tracts, and
was passing the front OF the fire. place as
the electric fluid entered. 1t struck him
killing him instantly. Itappears to have
first struck the upper part Of hts face,
passing down his body. His face vas
scorched, his beard burned off, his breast
burned, and his clothing and boots
ripped or torn open. There were about
80 teachers and scholars in the room,
some of whom were more or less injured
and all terribly shocked and alarmed.
The ceiling was thrown down by the
force OF the stroke, tae chimney fell in.

Governor Allen, of Ohio, Rises
10 Explain.

The N. Orleans Picay,ue having pub
lished u statement to tho effect that
Governor Allen, of Ohio, offered fifty
thousand troops to aid President Grant
in settling the difficulty in Louisiana
last September, the Governors private
secretary, Mr.. Putnam, has addressed a
letter to the editor of the Picayune, in
which he says;
Governor Allen cannot conceive how
such n statement could be made, for he
has never done or said anything to war.
rant it. He did not in September last
offer, nor has he at any time offered,
troops to Grant, to be used in Louisiana
or any other State. The statement has
no foundation whatever to rest upon ;
and it is hard to comprehend the total
depravity that prompted the invention
of such 4 falsehood. Governor Aliens
whole life stamps the statement rs an
untruth. He has made number Of po-
Gtical speeches since last fall, and he
has in every one of them denounced
Grants policy respecting the South and
the outrages perpetrated by his admin
istratlon upon the State Of louisiana -
