Mr. J. Foster, Editor of the Republican Constellation, in the town of Winchester, Va. has lately issued from his press a very valuable work, entitled—“ The Domestic Animal’s Friend,” being a new and com plete treatise on prevention and cure of dis orders incident to American Domestic Quad rupeds. This work (says the publisher) is a copious and careful selection from the most approved Modern Authors, European and American ; and contains a description of al most all the complaints, their causes and mptoins, witli which our Domestic \nimals e afflicted $ together with a number of the most choice receipts in regular succession, both for the cure and prevention of those omplaints ; also, a short, but complete de scription of the anatomy of the Horse—bis internal organs, the physiology of the foot ith observations und directions concerning Bleeding, Physic, Docking, Nicking, th •actice of Shoeing and the proper manner of treatment and administering in every ase treated of, dj'c.

His last work is called “ The Heart of Mid-Loti an,” a quaint term for the old prison of Ed inburgh, from the records of which the inci dents of the story are taken.

Authenticity of Ossian's Poems.-—Tho fol lowing (says a London paper) has been trans mitted on the most respectable authority :— A curious and interesting paper (hy Hugh Campbell, Esq. author of the Wanderer of Ayresliire, Birth of Bruce, &c.) on the Bat tle fields Fingall, in Ulster, has been read before the Scottish Antiquarians, and gene rally approved of by that respectable body of literati. This scrutinizing traveller went to Ulster, and there commenced a laborious inquiry on the subject; and in the county uf Antrim soon discovered, by the proximity to the highlands of Scotland, and the analo gy of names, &c. used in the poems of Os- sian, that lie was in lii£ desired neighbor hood. The caves, hills, stones, ruins, dec. of an ancient warfare and magnificence, in and round the ancient city of Connor, indu ced him to believe that lie had discovered the Saymor of the ancients, where was the pa lace of the Irish kings of the race of Con nor, of Morven, to whose assistance Fingal so frequently went when his kinsman was threatened by the princes of thciBelgie. In this opinion Mr. C. was soon confirmed by the discovery of the places mentioned in the poems as being in its immediate neighbor hood ; and ultimately by the remains of the palace itself, which has been in ruins since the city was stormed by Edward Bruce, in 1316. The discoveries made, and the con vincing tenor of the elaborate paper on the subject, are sufficient to convince the most incredulous, even Dr. Johnson himself, were lie in life, that Fingal fought and Ossian sung ! ——* A Boston paper announces that a new work by George Jefferys, will be published shortly, entitled, “fcisultory Observations ion Female Influence on tho Morals anil the MUSIC TAUGHT. P GALLAllER returns his sincere thahks 3 to the citizens of Milledgeville, for the patronage and support he has experienced, since' his arrival amongst them. The general satisfac tion his method ol instruction has given, in other jAirts of the United States, where he has taught the Piano Forte, lias been highly gartifying to his feelings, and is happy to find it’has been the case (with few exceptions) since his arrival at the seat ol government ot Georgia. His being at a very early age placed under some ot the rgeatest mas ters—uien wiiose compositions have drawn forth the admiration of the enlightened and relined of all nations—his experience in Europe as a per former, at a variety of the most brilliant and ele gant public and private concerts, and also in most of the principal cities in the United States— There are at present gentlemen in Milledgeville, who must acknowledge the enthusiastic applause he has been often honored with, at musical exhibi tions where they have been present. Sucli ad vantages, I e trusts, give him no small claim on a discerning public. The inhabitants of the sur rounding country, who may feel disposed to give their daughters that part of a polite education, (which never fails to make innocence and beauty shine with additional lustre) will find the expense quadruple less than by sending them to remote distances from their homes. Another great satis faction is, that they can visit them, when they may express a wish to do so. He will also give lessons to a few young gentlemen, on the violon cello, clarionet or flute. Applications nmde at the Office of the Georgia Journal or at the Office of the Reflector will be attended to. Milledgeville, Oct. 20. NOTICE.
