CHART
From a chronological Standpoint in
Brief by Prof. Davie, of the Man
Found in Elk Creek.

Prof. Davie, the well known phreno-
ligist, OF this city, viewed the remains
OF Harry Ludlow, the young man who
was drowned in Elk creek and has this
to say about him:
"A well shaped, rather shary nose,
would indicate him to have been
straightforward and keen in business
matters. He had very large organs Of
individuality, the perceptive faculty
which gave him desire to see and ex-
anime every thing. He Could always
see what required doing and knew how
TO do any thing just as soon as he look.
ed at it, and was of a practical cast
of mind
Ills organs of fairness were so large
that they amounted to obstinacy am
making mp his mind he was as un-
dhangeaIblc as the laws of the Modes
and Persians and could neither be per.
suaded nor driven.
SHE mad the organs Of continuity very
small, which made him of a very rest
less mind and given to perpetual change
change from one locality TO another
and from one occupation to another.
He would have made a very successful
business man and been very happy, if
he could have overcome that tendency
to constant restlessness and desire to
change and wish for new fields and
stick 10 one locality and one occupa.
