P h r e n o l o g ic a l , E tc . — Dr. Jordan, o f San Francisco, for some time, wo believe, attached to the Anatomical Museum of that city, deliv ered a series o f lectures in Dallas this week. On Wednesday and Thursday evenings at the Court House on the subject of phrenology; on Friday evening before the Lyceum ut the Acad emy, on the science of Astronomy; Dr. Jordan handles his subjects with considerable ability, and elucidates the principles of these sciences in a stylo at once within tho comprehension of everybody. He is a very interesting speaker. Much instruction and not a little amusement were derived from these lectures by our citizens, and wo hope it will pay the Doctor to give us a few more on other sciences with which he ap pears to bo familiar ere he leaves us.

We take pleasuie in recont mending him to our readers who may have bus iness in his line to transact in Portland, as we know from experience that he is prompt, accu rate, and thoroughly trustworthy iu all his transactions.

L. Cooper's place, at the foot ol’ Mount I’ i-gah, to see the latter’s celebrated blackberry patch. Mr. P. informs us the patch is just one quarter of an acre in extent, Irom which Mr. Cooper has already sold in the m igh- horhood of 35 ' gallons of the luscious Lawton berries at filty cents per gallon. In addition to this the neighbors have picked a considerable quantity, and he has still sufficient left to put the balance of 400 gallons in the market this season. $200 per annum off a quarter acre is a tolerably good yield— beat it who cau.
