How a Man Feels with Iiis Head Off. . , Some of the most eminent physiologists of the , present day have lately been argumenting the very i curious question as to whether a man feels after his head is off. And this inquiry is considered by its conductors to be of more than physiological in- tercst, because it involves a refined principle of humanity with regard to the punishment of death by-tlie guillotine. It is considered on all sides that the body does not-feel one instant after decapitation; for the brain bein"- the seat of sensation tothe whole frame, through the medium of the spinal marrow, every part of the body beneath'the joint at which the lat- ter may he divided, must be deprived of feeling. But it by no means follows that the head is depriv- ed of sensation immediately after decapitation, nor that it may not retain its consciouness, and like the head of the Irish Knight, who was killed by un. .aiwv , c - ly at tne executioner ior not Keeping a jtcujiur u.u, 1 i . i ' ii. 4. u ..n,.K n. -until UUL 11 15 quiLC "U5Sluiu uiux it may uu uuuuiuu 'i very serious renections upon uie irrevocuuim,y ui its fate, and the awfulriess of its deprivation.

From the Genesee Farmer. liifo Hie City of Weiir YorJk. ... Get up as soon as you can. see in the morning, and go into a corner grocery; there you will have ,tJie first reading of a morning paper. The floor is already swept and sanded with . clean sea-beach sand. Directly in comes a female for a ready soaked, mackerel, or a slice of ham, or a cotalette and;a loaf for breakfast. When you hear her rich brogue, you will marvel that, she demurs not to the extreme high price, which is liere charged for .each edible, the loaf excepted ; but your surprise ceases when you, are told that she is only a sarvant. 'If you want to hear cheapening of prices,' says the. host,rjcome in the evening, when, the Irish wo men ;are buying for themselves.' For the next half hour, the shop is full, of customers buying a modicum of all sorts for a single breakfast, from a pennyworth of salt or pepper, to bread, butter, and steak. Here arc poor, windfall apples, sold at cts. the half-peck, which, cost only 1 50 the bbl. Jrom the boats. Ohio grease, call it not butter, "Z'Z cts. a lb., a line or leg of .mutton, or a chop, at 12 cts. a lb., a beef's tongue for 63 cts., and a pair of chickens for 75 cts. There are thousands of fami lies here, in-costly brick houses, constructed with siron balconies and all the modern ornaments, who live in this expensive, shiftless mariner, without a tub of pork, a cheese, a crock of butter, or a whole !ham in the house, to say nothing of a barrel of po tatoes or apples. But that which strikes one from the country most painfully, in city life, is the con- ' fined, impure air. Here is no yard roorn fit either for a child to breathe or play in, and how can, a child acquire a physical education without pure air, room to play, and grass to fall upon, instead of a stone flag or curbstone. In the more tidy parts of the town, the sidewalks are washed every morning,- in fact half of Biddy's business seems to be swabbing the side walks, or running of errands, while another female attends to the menage with-, in. But such near neighbors are filth and neat ness, that often in the same street you pass in a few moments from clean gutters and well scrubbed undertake to justify yourself, for having . corn flags, to side-walks fetid and slippery, and gutters j mitted the assault and battery on Mr. Tompkins I" of black alkaline mud, giving off an effluvia as in valuable to vegetable life, as it is poisonous to the genus Homo.

A short man, named Toney Tompkins, with a sallow face, a snuft-taking nose, dull gray eyes, a head covered. with shaggy hair, caliper legsr inden ted breast and narrow shoulders, appeared yester day before the Recorder, to sustain a charge of as sault and battery, which he had made against one William Wilden Wells, who was also present in court. Wells was an able, athletic fellow, with physical power enough to pulverize, into infinites mal atoms poor Tompkins ;. and the great anxiety of the bystanders seemed to be, what could have induced a fellow of his elephantine, proportions to run foul of Tompkins, who compared with, him was a mere human animalcula;. This, however, the squel will explain. , "Well," said the Recorder the qase having been called on by the Clerk; "Mr. -Tompkins Toney Tompkins charges, you with having com mitted on his person a most violent and unprovoked assault and battery," "Unprovoked!" said Wells, in a tone of aston ishment " Unprovoked ! I would ask your Honor how does the law define, the term 4 unprovoked,' or. what limit does it set-to provocation! Sir," he said, " I have been injured in my tenderest part mine honor by this bandy-legged, scissors-nosed atom of humanity this fraction of a man tliis thing of shreds and patches this tailor I" " O, then," said the Recorder, " Mr Tompkins, if I. understand you aright is a tailor.'' " Yes, your honor," said Wells, looking at the plaintiff with an indignant scowl, "he is a mere maker of breeches, but he has made a breach in my domestic happiness, which is needless to add, is more difficult to stop, than was the Sauve crevasse. Accursed be he, whose guileful tongue Can wrong a woman's captive heart That fount from which has sweetly sprung . The joys it could alone impart.' " "Mr Wells," said the Recorder," 'your lan guage is mora poetical than plain. How do you Simply thus," said Wells ; " I had a fair, but alas ! a fickle and lovely wife. I loved her she ; .peepers in a soiled white handkerchief. " Excuse ' me, your honor," said he, ". but 1 'There's matter in these sighs, these profound heaves ; You must translate ; 'tis fit we understand them.' : To be brief then, your honor, my wife oh ! false Maria ! told me that she understood the making of my clothing, if she but had them cutout. This I employed the plaintiff to do, but- ,How false are men, both in their heads and hearts, And there is falsehood in all trades and arts.' ' In cutting out my clothes, he cut me out of the affections of my wjfe, cutting into mine ; and true to the instincts of his trade, cabbaged that love of which I was the rightful possessor. 1 ' ... Oh I the pain of pains, ! Is when the fair one, whom our soul is fond of, Gives transport and receives it from another.' ". "Mr. Wells," said the Recorder, "if this be in brevity, I do not know what you would call tedious- A t nnoc ni nirnnmlnniitlnn TMin nnl r nnoctinn liofrirr nvac wivuuuuvuuvuf uvwmum v , the court is uiu you or uiu you not commit tne j assaultand battery on Mr. Tompkins, with -which you stand charged " j Wells " I did your honor; and before this court , and high Heaven, shall justify it. ; .'I would sonsort with mine eternal enemy, To be avenged. on him.' " . That will do, Mr. Wells," said the Recorder ; " I have, listened to you with great patience, and I find that, instead of denying the charge you own it. ' I shall hold you to bail for your appcarence before the First District Court." Mr. Wells, in a tone which told-that he was re signed to his fate, ejaculated - - .

The Mormon Country, -r -" A,correspondcnt of the Rockford (IlLForum writes from Salt Lake City in these terms, .touch ing the country, its products and prosperity: . v?t - I must say a word about Wheat. ForiWheat this climate beats everything that I had everheard or dreamed of; From one bushel sowirigjiHhey have raised as high as 169 bushels ; it was - sowed in drills and covered four acres.- Fifty bushels here, is about a fair yield to' the acre. 'You "need not think there is any gammon about ;this;;the Wheat tells larger stories for itself than thelinliab itants. I never saw the like in any country. Itis like Egypt in the seven plentiful ycars the land yields by handsful. Corn does not do well,Ut' being too frosty ; potatoes, peas, beets, carrots 'onions, and vegetables generally, do welL I haVe seena great many melon vines, but think Hhey" -will not accomplish much without something to shelter them from the cool night air. . , I am writing at a table in the, city, and the, great valley lays out like a level plain before me, from, 20 to 40 miles wide, and extending something, like 200 miles from terminus to terminus, and thous ands upon thousands of cattle feeding upon,, the rich bottom land belonging to the city. Every city lot here contains 1 acres, and each man that moves here may pay $1,50 for recording thersarnc, and then go on and build a home for his 'family, with nothing more to pay save his tithe-money, which is one-tenth of his earnings. This goes into the Treasury for Church purposes, as welP'tfs for public works. The improvement made here in the three years the Mormons have been here is as tonishing. The houses are built of unbumed brick, called 'doubles,' and are comfortable and genteel dwellings. - They have fine flouring mills and saw mills now in operation, and others going up. -.Their lumber is chiefly sawed out of the Fir tree, and is not as good as pine, altho it ariswers very well as a substitute. Coal has been found in great abundance in the valley and I am informed that they are now making a Railroad on which to transport the same to the city. Stone coal is now $1 per bushel in the city, and charred coal 50 cents. Salt is obtained out of the Lake in its native state, and when ground is far superior to any salt which you receive from the East. It is possible that you, in the Mississippi Valley, may yet be supplied with the article of salt from this Lake. I am satisfied that for the next thousand years the Rocky Mountains will furnish the world with Potash and Salairatus. The Valley of the Platte and Sweetwater can do it without half trying. God only knows the wealth that lies hid in these mountains, for the benefit perhaps of coming generations, which now appear to the eye and mind as a great barren waste upon the earth's surface, .or in another view, as mere monuments of His almighty power, upon which man may look and be huiribled. Important Decision. In a case brought before the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania, from Dela ware county, it was decided that in a publie sale, where a person is employed to 'run up' the prop erty, and make the purchaser pay more than if none but the bona fied bidders bid for it, the sale is fraudulent and void, so far that the purchaser is not obliged to take the property struck offHo him. As the parctice of bidding up property is not" un common in this region, the decision of the Supreme Court may be of some little importance.- - - The Congress Printing.
