-Prof. Charles H. Stowell, of the University, has been examining some of the blood stains found at River Raisin Station, the scene of the supposed bloody encounter, the particulars of which have been published. Stained pieces of bark and pieces of wood were sent to him, and some of the supposed blood clots were scraped from the wood and examined after treating them with the usual methods. The very highest powers of the microscope were used, so that measurements could be made as fine as the one seven hundred and fifty thousandth of an inch. A large number of blood corpuscles were found, circular in shape, and thus excluding the belief that the blood was that of any other class of animals than the mamalia, for other animals have oval corpuscles. White as far as the measurements are concerned the blood might be that of a dog, yet the location of the stains and the surrounding circumstances make it almost certain that the blood is human and that a murder was committed.-   Cor.
