GALVANISM.

It has been found by Dr. NAUCHE, at Paris, that a person
perfectly blind may be made to see very lively and numerous
flashes of light, by bringing one extremity of the voltaic
pile into communication with the hand or foot, and the other
with the face, skin of the head, or even the neck. In like
manner, a person in the gloom of poverty may be made to
perceive very lively and numerous flashes (say 20,000) of
good fortune by bringing one extremity of a ragged bank bill
into communication with the Book-Store and the other with
the Lottery-Office, one door west of Central Building.

N.B.--Two grand piles are now offered to the public--Harvard
College, where the process is now in active operation, and
Plymouth Beach which is in a state of preparation.
