[Translated from the German.] LOUIS OFFON GOELICKE, of Germany, The Greatest of Human Benefactors, Citizens of North and South America, To Louis Offon Goelicke, M. D.. of Germany, [Europe,] belongs the imperishable honor of adding anew and precious doctrine to the science of medi cine—a doctrine which, though vehemently opposed Dy many of the faculty, (of which be is a valuable member,) he proves to be as well founded in trbth iS as any doctrine of Holy Writ —a doctrine, upo n the ■ verity of which are suspended the lives of millipns I of our race, and which he boldly challenges his, )>P- I posers to refute, viz; Consumption is a disease al [ ways occasioned by a disordered state of Vis V tse I (or'Life Principle jof the human body: of cu I secretly lurking in the system for years bes ire I there is the least complaint of the Lungs —und B which may be as certainly, though not so quickly, I cured, as a common cold ora simple headache.

I qoq q q ] A certificate from three members of the Medic a r Profession in Germany , in Europe. We, the undersigned, practitioners of medicirej I in Germany, are well aware that, by our course,|i we may forfeit the friendship of some ui the facu --j ty, but noi of its benevolent members, who are ur‘-s influenced by selfish motives. T hough we shaidl refrain from an expression of our opinion, either! I of the soundness or unsoandness of Dr. Goelick new doctrine, we are happj - to say that we deem! his Sanative too valuable not to be generally* known—for what our eyes behold and our ears! hear, we must believe. * j We hereby state, that when Dr. Louis Offer * Goelick first came before the German public, a: | t:;o pretended discoverer of a new doctrine and ;;>■< new medicine, we held him in the highest con-1 tempt, believing and openly pronouncing him to be | a base impostor and the prince of quacks. But, ons hearing so much said about the Sanative, against its and for it, we were induced, from motives of curd- i o-ity merely, to make trial of its reputed virtues I upon a number of our most hopeless patients; and f \ve now deem it our bounden duty (even at the I expense of self-interest) publicly to acknowledge I its efficacy in curing not only consumption, but ; other fearful maladies, which we have heretofore. - believed to be incurable. Our contempt for the•: discoverer of this medicine was at once swallower;, up in our utter astonishment at these unexpected* j results; and, as amends for our abused him, wt} j do frankly confess to the world, that we believe ■ him a philanthropist, who does honor to the proses- j sicn, and to our country, which gave him birth. | The*recent adoption of this medicine into some | of our European hospitals, is a sufficient guaranty | that it performs all promises. It needed not our ! estimony, for wherever it is used itE its own best | wi ness. HERMAN ETMULLER, M. u. j WALTER VAN GAULT, m. d. I 1 ADOLPHUS WERNER, m.

Hither hasten, then, my boy, Bring me here my light guitar. Though by day I may not speak AH the passions in ray breast, And my words are few and weak, And my flame is unconfessed; Yet, by night, a spirit high ’Prompts my feet to wander far. And a bolder speech I try. Echoed by the light guitar. Through its soft and silver tone, I would tell her all I feel— To her heedless ear alone, Would I have its music steal. With a voice no longer coy, I will sing Love’s brightest star— Bring me hither, then, my boy, Bring me here my light guitar. An Incident of the Revolution. In the summer of 1779, during one of the darkest periods of our revolutionary struggle, in the then small village of S (though it now bears a more dignified title) in this State lived Judge V , one of the firmest and truest pat riots within the limits of the “Old Thirteen,” and deep in the confidence of Washington.— Like most men of bis time and substance he had furnished himself with arms and ammunition, sufficient to arm the males of his household.— These consisted of himself, three sons, and about twenty-five negroes. The female part of his house consisted of his wife, one daughter, Catha rine, about 18 years of age. the heroine of our tale, and several slaves. In the second story of his dwelling house, immediately over the front door was a small room, called the “armory,” in which the arms were deposited and always kept ready for immediate use. About the time at which we introduce our story, the neighborhood of the village was much annoyed by the noctur nal prowliugs and depredations of numerons To ries. It was on a calm, bright Sabbath afternoon in the aforesaid summer, when Judge V. and his family, with the exception of his daughter Cath arine and an old indisposed female slave, were attending service in the village church. Not a breath disturbed the serenity of the atmosphere— a sound profaned the sacred stillness of the day ; | the times were dangerous and Catharine herself i and the old slave remained in the house until the return of the family from chuch. A rap was heard at the front door. “Surely,” said Catha rine to the slave, “the family have not yet come home; church cannot be dismissed.” The rap was repeated. “I will see who it is,” said Cath arine, as she ran up stairs into the armory. On opening the window and looking down she saw six men standing at the front door, and on the opposite side of the street, three of whom she knew wcie Tories, who formerly resided in the village. Their names were Van Zandt, Finley and Sheldon ; the other three were strangers, but she had reason to believe them to be of the same political stamp from the company in which she found them. Van Zandt was a notorious character, and the number and enormity of his crimes had rendered his name infamous in that vicinity. Not a mur der or a robbery was committed within miles of S that he did not get the credit of planning or executing. The characters of Finley and Sheldon were also deeply stained with crime, but Van Zandt was a master spirit in iniquity. The appearance of such characters, under such cir cumstances, must have been truly alarming to a young lady of Catharine’s age, if not to any lady, young or old. But Catharine V possessed her father's spirit—“the spirit of the times.”— Van Zandt was standing on the stoop, rapping at the door, while his companions were talking in a whisper on the opposite side of the street. “Is Judge V at home?” asked Van Zandt when he saw Catharine at the window above. “He is not,” slid she. “We have business of pressing importance with him, and if jou will open the door,” said Van Zandt, “we will walk in arid remain till he returns.” “No,” said Catharine, “when he went to church he left particular directions not to have the doors opened until he and the family returned. You had better call when church is dismissed.” “ No, I’ll be d—d if we do,” retorted he, “we will enter now or never.” “Impossible,” replied she, “you cannot enter until he returns.” “Open the door,” cried he, “or we’ll break it down, and burn you and the house up together.” So saying, he threw himself with all the force he possessed, against the door, at the same time call ing upon his companions to assist him. The door, however, resisted his efforts. “Do not attempt that again.” said Catharine, “or you are a dead man,” at the same time pre senting from the window a heavy horseman’s pistol, ready cocked. At the sight of this formidable weapon, the companions of Van Zandt, who had crossed the street at his call, retreated. “What!” cried their leader, “you d—d cow ards ! are you frightened at the threats of a girl 1” and again he threw himself violently against the w v • -»• x i /v« • door. The weapon was immediately discharged, and Van Zandt ffell. The report was beard at the church, and males and females at once rushed out to ascertain the cause. On looking towards the residence of Judge V , they perceived five men running at full ■ speed, to whom the Judge’s ccgroes and several others gave chase; and from auupper windoW" of his residence a handkerchief was waving, as if beckoning for aid. All rushed towards the place, and upon their arrival, Van Zandt was in the agonies of death. He still retained strength to acknowldege that they had long contemplated robbing that house, and had frequently been concealed in the neigh* borhood for that purpose. but no opportunity had offered until that day, when, lying concealed in the woods, they saw the Judge and his family going to church. The body of the dead Tory was taken and 1 buried by the sexton of the church, as he had no relations in that vicinity. After an absence of two hours or thereabouts, the negroes returned, having succeeded in captur ing Finley, and one of the strangers, who were • that night confined, and the next morning, at the earnest solicitation of Judge V , liberated on . the promise of amending their lives. It was in the month of October, of the same year, that Catharine V was sitting by an upper back window of her father’s house, knit ting ; though autumn, the weather was mild, and j the window was hoisted about three inches.— About sixty or seventy feet from the rear of the house was the barn, a huge old-fashioned edifice, with upper and lower folding doors; the lower doors were closed, and incidentally casting her eyes towards the barn, she saw a small back d«>or on a range with the front door and the window at which she was sitting, open, and a number of. men enter. The occurrence of the summer im mediately presented itself to her mind, and the fact that her father and the other male member? of the family were at work in a field some dis tance from the house, led her to suspect that that .v opportunity had been improved, probably by some of Van Zandt’s friends, to plunder and revenge his death. Concealing herself, therefore, behind the curtains, she narrowly watched their move ments. She saw a man’s head slowly rising above the door, and apparently reconnoitering the premises—it was Finlay’s. Their object was now evident. Going to the “armory,” she select ed a well-loaded musket, and resumed her place by (he window. Kneeling upon the floor, she laid the muzzle of the weapon upon the window sill between the curtains, and taking delibeiale aim, she j. What effect she had produced, she knew not, but saw several men hurrying out of the barn by the same door they had entered. The report again brought her father and his workmen to the house, and on going into the barn, the dead body of Finlay lay upon the floor. . Catharine V afterwards married a captain of the Continental army, and she still lives, the honored mother of a numerous and respectable line of descendants. The old house is also “in the land of the living,” and has been the scene of many a prank of the writer of this article, in the heydey of mischievous boyhood.— Staten Islander, Extrat from report oj the setond exhibition of the Masschusetts Charitable Mechanic Asso ciation, Dan. Davis,jr., Boston. Sept. 23,1839.'. “ A large variety of electromagnetic and mag- - neto-electric apparatus. Tac. i instruments il lustrate the principles of a new urJ most interest ing department of science. Trie ueflection of the magnetic needle by electric currents, the earliest fact known in the electro-magnetism, was discov ered by Oersted, in 1819; and the induction of electric cui rents by magnetism, the fundamental fact in magneto-electricity, was disevered by Far-, ady, 1831. These two sciences have since ad vanced with a rapidity unparalleled in the annals., of scientific discovery. Many of their most im portant principles are beautifully illustrated by the apparatus exhibited by Mr. Davis. This appaiatus is all neatly, thoroughly, and skilfully made, and in some respects, especially in the winding of the insulated wire, on which the pow er of many of the instruments greatly depends, is decidedly superior to similar articles imported from Europe. Mr. Davis possesses a thorough acquintance with the theory of the instruments he manufactures, and hence, he has been enabled to introduce into many of them important modifi cations and improvements. Some of the most valuable of these instruments are of his own in vention ; among the most recent of which is the double Helix and Electrotome, not yet described 1 * in any scientific journal. Some of the results « obtained by it are new; and it is no exaggeration to say that it demonstrates, in a striking manner, a greater variety of principles in electro-magne tism and magneto-electricity than any instrument of which a description has hitherto been publish ed. His instrument for the analysis of shocks, and two electro-magnetic engines, are worthy of high commendation, as boautitul and ingenious inven- - tions. Several of the instruments exhibited by Mr. Davis, and originally manufactured by him, were invented by Dr. Page, (of Washington,) and are now extensively used by scientific lectur ers in Europe, and highly commended in foreign philosophical journals. Indeed, it would be dif ficult to name a philosopher, either in this coun try or in Europe, whose discoveries and inven tions in this department of science have, within the last two or three years, been more numerous and valuable than those of Dr. Page. Mr. Davis is the only philosophical instrument* maker in this country who manufactures appa ratus of this kind to any considerable extent; and he is entitled to the praise of having done much by his instruments to promote a taste for. the sciences they are intended to illustrate.” A gold medal awarded. The apparatus was also exhibited at the Fair of the American Institute at New York, and re ceived the award of a gold and silver medal.
