Tie London Medtcal Record sums
up as follows the results Of some very
measurements Of heads by
two Frech physicians, Messrs. Lacas-
sague and Cliqnet: Having the pa
tients, doctors, attendants and officers
of the Val de Grace at their disposal,
they measured the heads of 100 doe
tors Of medicine, 1873 soldiefs who had
received an elementary Instruction,
80 soldiers vino could heather read
nor write. and 81 soldiers who were
prisoners. The instrument used was
the same which hatters employ in
measuring the heads Of their custom
ers; it is called the conformator. and
gives a very correct idea of the pro-
portions and dimensions of the heads
in question. The results were in fa-
vor Of the doctors; the frontal diane
ter was also much more considerable
than that of the soldiers, etc. Nor
are both halves Of the head symmetri-
cally developed; in students, the left
frontal region is more developed than
than right; in illiterate individuals,
the right occipital region is larger
than the left The authors have de-
rived the following conclusions from
their experiments:
|. The heads Of students who have
worked much with their brains are
much more developed than those of IL
literate individuals, or such as have
allowed their brains to remain mac
tive
2. In students the frontal region is
more developed than the occipital le-
gion, or, if there should be any differ
ence in favor Of the latter, it is very
small; while in illiterate people the

Correspondence OF the Gazette.
SILVER CITY, n. NJ, Oct. 10, 10.
G. T.. JOHNSON, ESQ,
Editor Del. Gdzette:-
arrived at this place July 20, finding
everything quiet aud business good, but
since u at time, in fact during the past
SIX weeks, the "Arache Indians" have
been giving us one string of horrors. In
radius of from sixty to ninety miles
there has been at least seventy men,
women aud children killed. In four or
five fights during that time both with
military and citizens the Indians have
got the best of every fight. In one dash
they captured all the horses, guns and
ammunition Of one company of cavalry.
During the past eght days they have
captured two wagon trains between
Fort Cummings and ala Mesilll," on
the Rio Giande. At one point eleven
dead bodies were found.
And instead of the military driving
the Indians from the Membr es noun
tains through the Borro mountains to-
| ward Mexico as intimated by dispatches
from Gen. Pope and published in Mis-
souri, Republican of 9th inst. There is moi
one word of truth in any part of the des-
patch. The warriors split up iLto small
parties and the soldiers followed the
trail of lot of old broken down horse.
| driven by lot of squaws, and from al
the information that | can give there |.
not enough soldiers in tn lower countr,
to disodge the Indians from any noun
tain pass they might select for a stand
The cavalry horses are breaking down
| while the Indians make raids on the set
Element for fresh horses, consequently al,
better mounted and fully as well arme'
as the troops.
| Another advantage the indians have
ia they are not bothered with pack
train, consequently they travel yer,
| rapidly. From latest, reliable informa
tion, the Indians were still in the NJ EN-
| bries MOUNTAINS.
Fresh supplies were shipped from For
Bayard 10 Major Morrow's cOmman,
yesterday, and IL II is possible TO accom-
| phsh al ything with the handful OF mel

nation was made, when 1t was became
known that the child was still-born and
that Mrs. Sarah Zeigler was Its mother.
An inquest was held this morning at

present. DI. Blocksom arrived ten
minutes after the birth Of the child. The
chi d was not living the time OF Its
birth. Witness did not know whether
Mrs. Zeigler had consu ulted a physician,
but WAS certain tSat she had taken NO
medicine to cause premature birth.
Mrs. Harriet Richards was next called
and corroborated the foregoing.
Mrs. Zeigler's testimony, which had
been taken by the clerk At the instance
of the jury said that she WAS the mother
OF the child, but gave no important testi-
| mony.
