Citizens of North and South America , To Lours Offon Goelicke ! M. D., of Germany, [Europe,] belongs the imperishable honor of adding a ne w and precious doctrine tci the science of medi cine —adoctiine which,though vehement!) opposed by many of the faculty, (of wihicii iie is a valuable member,) he proves to be as vtell founded in truth as any doctrine of tioly Writ-j-a doctrine, upon the verity of winch are suspended the lives of millions of our race, and which he bodily challenges his op posers to refute, viz: Consumption is a disease al ways occasioned by a disordered state of Vis Vitaj (or Life Principle) of the hufnan body: often secretly lurking in the system for years before there is the least complaint ofjthe Lungs and which may be as certainly, liijmgh not so quickly, cured, as a common cold or a sample headache.

S. Fitch, dated Philadelphia, May 4u, 183 S. DR. JAYNE —Dear Sir, —1 fee; that I can hardly say enough to you in favor of Jayne's f> Oleaginous Hair Tonic, prepared by you. My hair had been falling off’ about two years* and had become very thin, threatening speedy baldness, when I commenced using tins remedy. In about one week, it ceased to fail oif. 1 have used it now about three months, and have as full, and thick a head of hair as I can possibly desire. 1 have recommended its use to a number of my friends, who ah speak we.l of it. If faithfully employed’ J have no doubt oi its general success. 1 may add that before using the Tonic, I ha I tried a most all the various articles employed for the hair, such as tue Macassar Oil, all tae different preparations of Bears Oil, Vegetable Hair Oil, &c. &c., without experiencing much, if any, benefit. Respectfully yours, 4s. S. Fitch, No. 172 Chesnut street. fj Before Dr. Fitch used this Tonic ins ha r be gan to be gray, but since then there is not a gray hair to be found on his bead. Philadelphia, May 11, 1838. Dr. Ja-o-k —Dear Bir, —I cheerfully and with pleasure submit the following to you, with the liberty of your making it public, should you have the desire: —For several months past my hair had been rapidly falling off, >o much so indeed that by passing my fingers lightly through it, 1 coukl obtain a quantity rn my hand. 1 had tried all the fash ionable Oils of the day, without having received the slightest sensible benefit. The only resource that seemed left to me, was lo have my bead shav ed and wear a wig. Having, through a friend who had parefitted by its use, heard of the remarkable cures effected by yne’s « ieaginous Hair Tonic, sold by you, I was induced, as a dernier resort, to try it. 1 have used two bottles, and am pleased to say, that alter a few applications, my hair ceased ■entirely from coming out, the young hair made its appearance in great abundance, and that now I Rave a fine, luxuriant growth, and believe it to be the best remedy ever yet discovered. A fair trial will be its best recommendation. Independently <>f its virtues as a restorative and preventive, it imports to the hair a line healthy, glossy appear ance, rendering it soft and flexible, which will make it an invaluable acquisition for tire toilet of every one at all desirous of beautifying that great est ot adornments of the sac hair. Returning my most sincere thanks for saving me. from premature baldness, by the use of the above Tonic, I am, dear Bir, your obedient servant, L. Kinaldo Bank, No. lUS Walnut st.

I From the American Monthly Magazine. A Night Adventure in the Alloghanics. horse had cast a shoe, and stopping about sunset at a blacksmith's c abin, in one of the most savage passes of the Alleghanics, a smutty-faced leather-aproned fellow was «.oon engaged in put ting his feet in order, to encounter the flinty road we were travelling. Pardon me, air, cried a middle-aged traveller, riding up to the sbantee and throwing himself bom his horse, just as the shaggy-headed vulcan, having taken the heels of my nag in his lap, was proceeding to pare off the hoof, preparatory to fit ting the shoe, which be had just hammered into shape and thrown upon the black soil tieside him. “Pardon me —repeated the stranger, raising the broad brimmed beaver trom a head remarkable for nothing but what the phrenologist would call the uncommon developement of **i eality,” re vealed by the short locks which part d over a pair of melancholy grey eyes—“matteis of mo nient ——continued be, moving towards me make it important for me to be a dozen miles hence before nightfall, and you will place me, sir, under singular obligations, by allowing this good fellow to attend to my lame beast instantly.” i ho confident, and not ungraceful manner in I which the stranger threw himself upon my cour | sufficiently marked him as a man of breed ing, and I, of course, complied at once with his request by giving the necessary order to the black smith. His horse was soon put in travelling trim, and leaping actively into the saddle, he re gained the highway at a bound; checking his coarser then a moment, he tamed in his stirrups to thank me sot the slight service I had rendered him, and giving an address, which I have now forgotten, he added that if ever I should enter ’s valley, I might be sure of a cordial wel come by the proprietor. An hoar afterwards I was pursuing the same j rna d, and rapidly approaching the end of my day’s journey. The immediate district through which ; f was travelling, had been settled by Germans, in the early uays ot Pennsylvania, a scattered com munity that had been thrown somewhat in ad vance of the more slowly extended settlements. In populousness and fertility it did not compare wiih the regions on the eastern side of the moun tains; but the immense stone barns, which, though few and far between, occasionally met the eye, not less than the language spoken around me, i indicated that the inhabitants were of the same origin with the ignorant Hut industrious denizens of the lower country. One of these stone build ings, an enormous and ungainly edifice, stood upon a hill immediately back of "the Wolfswald hotel—a miserable wooden hovel where I was to pass the night—and while descending the hill in the rear of the village, I had leisure to observe that it presented a somewhat diflerent appearance from the other agucukural establishments of the kii d which I bad met with during the day. The massive walls were pierced here and there with narrow w-ndows, which looked like loopholes, and a clumsy chimney had been fitted up by some unskilful mechanic, against one of the ga bles (with a prodigality of materials which made its jagged top show like some old turret, in the growing twilight. The history of this grotesque j mansion, as 1 suhsequenlty learned it, was that of a hundred others scattered over our country, and ; known generally in the neighborhood as‘Smith’s,’ |or ‘ I hompson s folly.” It had been commenced i upon an ambitious scale, by a jrerson whose | means were inadequate to its completion, and had ; been sacrificed at a public sale when half finish ed, in order to liquidate the claim of the mechan ics employed upon it. After that, it had been used as a granary for a while, and subsequently, being rudely completed without any reference to ; the original plan, it had been occupied as a hotel for a few years. It had now, however, for a long period been abandoned entirely, and enjoyed the gene al reputation in the neighborhood of being haun.ed; tor ghosts and goblins aie always sure to take a big hou e off a landlord's hands, when he can get no other tenant. “We have no room for mynheer,” said mine host, Peter Scudston, laying his hand on mv bri dle. as I rode up to the door of the only inn in j the place; while three or four wagoners, smo i tlie ‘r pipes upon a bench in front of the | bouse, gave a grunt of confirmation to the frank i avowal ot Peter. I was too old a stager, how ' ever, to be thus summarily turned away at such an hour; and throwing myselt from my horse without further parley, I told the landlord to get j me some supper, and we would talk about lodg ing afterwards. It matters not how I got through the evening antil the hour of bed time arrived. I had soon ascertained that every bed in the hostelrie w r as re ally taken up, and that unless I choose to share his straw with one of the wagoners, who are ac customed to sleep in their lumbering vehicles, there was no resource for me, except to occupy the lonely building, which had first caught my eye upon entering the hamlet. Upon inquiring as to the accommodation it afforded, I learned that, though long deserted by any permanent oc cupants, it was still occasionally, notwithstanding its evil reputation, resorted to by the passing tra veller, and that one or two rooms were yet in good repair and partially furnished. The good ! woman of the house, however, looked very por tentous, when I expressed my determination to take up my abode lor the night in the haunted ruin—though she tried, ineffectually, to rouse her sleeping husband to guide me thither. Mine host had been luxuriating too freely in some old Monoagahela, brought by a return wagon from Wheeling, to hee l the jogging of his spouse, and I was obliged to act as ray own gentleman usher. The night was dark and gusty, as with my sad die bags in one hand and a stable-lantern in the other, I sallied from the door of the carbaret, and struggled up the broken hill in its rear, to gain my uninviting place of rest. A rude porch, which seemed to have been long unconscious of a door, admitted me into the building, and track ing my way with s me difficulty through a long corridor, ot which the floor appeared to have been ripped open here and there, in order to apply the boards to some other purpose, I came to a steep and narrow staircase without any balusters. Cautiously ascending, I found myself in a large hall which opened on the hill side, against which the house was built. It appeared to he lighted by a couple of windows only, which were par tially giazed in some places, and closed up in oth ers by rough boards nailed across in lieu of shut ters. It had evidently, however, judging from two or three pieces of ruined furniture, been in habited. A heavy door, whose oaken l.fch and hinges, being incapable of rust, were still in good repair, admitted me into an adjoining chamber.— This had evidently been the dormitory of the cs tab.i-hment, whtre the guests, after the gregari ous and most disagreeable fashion of our couu try were wont lo he huddled together in one large room. Toe waning m»on, whose bright I autumnal crescent was just beginning to cast 1 j above the hi’!, shone through a high cnctiiar w;u --1 dow, lull into this apartment, indicated a com -1 sortable looking trucklebcd at the further end, be VOL. 4.-No. S 2. fore th 3 rays of my miserable lantern, hail shot beyond 'he threshold. Upon approaching the pallet, I observed some indications of that end of the apartment being still occasionally occupied. The heavy beams which traversed the ceiling appeared to have been recently Whitewashed. There was a small piece of carpet on the floor beside the bed, a deeripit table, and an arm-chair whose burly- body was precariously supported upon three legs, were holding an innocent tete-a-tclc in the corner adja cent. I've had a rougher roosting place than this, thought I, as I placed my lantern upon the table, i.nd deposited my saddle-bags beneath it, began to prepare myself for rest. My light having now burnt low, I was com pelled to expedite the operation of undressing, which prevented me from examining the rest of the apartment; and indeed, although I had, when first welcoming with some pleasure the idea of sleeping in a haunted house, determined fully to explore it for rnv own satisfaction before retiring for the night, yet, fatigue or caprice made me now ready to ah ndon the intention, just when my means f*r carrying it into execution, were be ing withdrawn; for the caudle expired, while I was opening the door of the lantern, to throw its light more fully upon a mass of drape’y, which seemed to he suspended across the farther end of the chamber. The complete darkness that mo mentarily ensued, of course, blinded me complete ly; but in the course of a few moments the shad ows became more distinct, and gradually, by the light of the moon, I was able l* make out that the object opposite to me, was only a large old ftshioned bedstead, prodigiously bung with tat tered curtains. I gave no farther thought to the subject, but turning over, composed myself to rest. Sleep however, whom Shakspeare alone has had the serse to personify as a woman, was coy in coming to my coach. The stout old mansion seemed to wheeze and groan, like a hale sexage narian with the asthma. The wind, which had been high, became soon more boisterous than ev er, and the clouds huddled so rapidly over tho face of the moon, that her beams were as broken as the crevices of the ruined building through which they fell. A sudden gust would every now and then sweep through the long corridor below, and make the rickctty staircase crack, as if it yielded to the feet of some portly passenger— again, the blast would die away in a sullen moan as if bafSed on some wild night errand, while anon, it would swell in monotonous surges, which came booming upon the ear like the roar of a dis tant ocean. I am not easily discomposed, and perhaps none of these uncouth sounds would have given an noyance, if the clanging of the window shutter had not been added to the general chorus, and ef lectually kept me from sleeping. My nerves were at last becoming sensibly affected by ite ceaseless din, and wishing to cut short the fit of restlessness which I found stealing upon me, I determined to rise and descend the stairs at the risk of my neck to try and secure the shutter so as to put an end to the nuisance. But now, as I rose in my bed for this purpose, I found myself subjected to a new cours_ an noyance. The mocking wind, which had ap peared tome more than once to syllable human sounds, came at length upon my ear distinctly, charged wiili tones which could not be mistaken. If was the hard, suppressed breathing of a man. I listened, and it ceased with alight gasp, like that of one laboring under suffocation. I listened still, am) it came anew—stronger and more fully upon my ear. It was like the thick aspirations of an appopleclic. Whence it proceeded, I knew not. But that it was not near me, I was certain. A suspicion of rohherry—possibly, assassination flashed upon me; but were instantly discarded as foreign to the character of the people among whom I was travelling. i’he moonlight now fell full upon the curtained bed opposite to me, and I saw the tattered dra pery move, as if the frame upon which it was suspended, were agitated. I watched, I confess, with some peculiar feeling of interest. I was not alarmed, but an unaccountable anxiety crept over me. At length, the curtain parted, and a naked human leg was protruded through i s folds —the foot came with a bump, dead-like sound to the floor—resting there, it seemed to me at least halt a minute before the body to which It belong ed was discovered to rny view. Slowly, then, a pallid and unearthly looking figure emerged from the couch, and stood with its startling lineaments clearly drawn against the dingy curtain behind it. It appeared to be balancing itself for a mo ment, and then began to move along from the bed. But there was something horribly unnatu ral in its motions. Its feet came to the door witn a dull heavy round, as if there we re no vitality in them. Its arms hung, apparently, paralyzed by its side, and the only nerve of rigidity in its frame appeared about its head ; —the hair, which was thin ami scattered, stood out in rigid turfs from its brow—the eyes w re dilated and fixed with an expression of ghastly horror, and the petrified lips moved not, as the hideois moaning, which came from the bottom of its chest escaped them. It began to move across the floor in the direc tion of my bed —its knees at every step having drawn up with a sudden jerk nearly to its body, and ils feet coming to the ground as if they moved by some n.achinical impulse, and were wholly wanting in the elasticity of living menioers. It approached my bed—and mingled horror and cu riosity kept me still. It came and stood beside it, and child like I still clung to my couch, mov ing only to the farther side. Slowly, and with the same uonatuial toot falls it pursued me thith er, and again I changed my position, h placed iisclf then at the toot of rny bedstead and moved by ils f iteous groans, I tried to look calmly at it, I endeavored to rally my thoughts— to reason with myself, and even to speculate upon the nature of the object before me. One idea that went through my brain was 100 extravagant not to re member. I thought among other things, that the phantom wasa corpse, animated for the moment by some galvanic process, in order to terrify me. Then, as I recollected that there was no one in the village to carry such a trick into effect—suppos ing even the experiment possible—l rejected tbo supposition. How, too, could those awful moans be produced from an inanimate being .■ And yet, it seemed as if every thing about it were dead, except the mere capability of moving its feet, and uttering those unearthly expressions of suffering. The sceptre, however, if so it may be called gave me but little opportunity for reflection. Its ghast ly limbs were raised anew with the same auto mation movement, and placing one of its feet upon the bottom of my bed, whilst its glassy eves were fixed steadfastly upon me, it began stalking towards my pillow. I confess that I was now in an agony of ter ror. I sprang from the couch and fled the apart ment. Ins keen siuhtedness of fear enabled me to discover an open closet upon the other ■ i-Jt* of 1 Springing through the threshold,’ k closed the door quickly after me. It had neither lock nor bolt, bni the closet was so narrow, that
