rTTO the many inquiries respecting our bichool, wo would
X make the following reply:
On the 1st of April, we commenced the syniemnfie and
constant instruction of a Class of young gentlemen, ill the
true Theory and Practice of .Medicine. The principles* of
the science ar<» clearly explained and illustrated, in .so great
a varigiy of ways as to fix them permanently i:i the mind.
Our practice affords ample means of exhibiting to stu
dents the symptoms of disease, th** modus nperundi of medi
cines, and thn various and most convenient and proper
iixitfs and means of rendering the remedial agents and ifie
curative process effectual.
The science of Botany is familiarly and practically taught
in such a manner its not only to acquaint thn student wiih
the Botanic .Materia M-diea; but f. enable him to examine
the whole vegetable kingdom with pleasure and profit. It
is illustrated, not mercl. hy books anti plates, but by ana
tomical examinations of the natural subjects, and by oral
instructions i* the field, as well as in lha lecture room.—
Each student is taught to label and preserve plants for his
future benefit.
instructions arc given and Lectures delivered on Natural
Philosophy and Chnnutry. Much attention is devoted to
Midwifery, and the form's of Disease peculiar to Women
and Children,
Anatomy, Physiology and Surgery receive nil desirable
attention, and the old theories nnipractices meet (heir just
due, in a thorough examination, and comparison with the
Botanic.

to which tlie student may have reference; hut he must pur
chase for his ow n use, at least one standard work on each
of the subjects to which he devotes particular attention.
TER.MtS.
We have a select and valuable Library, and a room in
which Lectures and Instructions are given. For the regu
lar tuition and ihe use of these, one dollar per week is
charged. Students nre boarded at the School and their
washing is done, for throe dollars per week. Those may
be luul in other plac. s, o.- students may hoard themselves,
nt a cheaper rate.
Our hills axe payable quarterly in advance, with cash or
good security.
From six to eighteen months are desirable to acquire a
thorough knowledge of the Botanic Practice. A minute
acquaintance with Anatomy, Surgery, and other branches
of the old theories and practices, demand a longer period.

THE WEARY WATCHER.
BY T. H. B.1YLY.
4 Tis not the hour her lover named,
Yet she already deems him late;
And pouts iter lips, »s'if ashemed
'That mortal man should make her wait.
She counts the minutes o’er and o'er,
Yel seems unconscious of their flight.
And she will watch the path no more.
Where first his form will be in sight.
And were she summoned hy his voice,
She would not turn her head to greet him;
Come when he may, she will rejo ce
To show how coldly she can meet him.
She will not frown, for frowns would say
That si.e had watched for his return;
She will not smije,—it would betray
She saw him not with unconcern.
Oh! should ho ever come, no trace
Of weak emotion shall appear;
She’ll seem, while gazing on his luce.
Unconscious that he stands so near.
No blush shall mantle nn her chock,
No U*ar shall tremble in her eye:
To some young stranger she w ill spoak,
And seemed engrossed by his reply.
And thinking thus, she proudly leans.
Against the marble balustrade:
Conic w hen lie may, she never uuum*
'To raise her eyes, or turn her had!
Lady, most beautiful thou art,
And pride becomes thee, ’mid the crowd;
But oh! with him who wins thy heart,
Thou’rt fond—weak—any thing but proud.
Resentment when he leaves her side,
Betrays the depth of woman's love;
Aud w hen she prattles of her pride,
What but her weakness doth she prove?
Why starts she now, w hy turns her head
With such a glance of gay delight*
Alas! forgetting all *hesuid,

Tlie weary watcher ran command
No word to wound, no frown to chill;
The silent pressure of her hand

MALIBItAECS LAST EFFORT.
BY THEODOUU S. FAY.
A few days before her death I saw
Mulibran at Drury Lane,' in “La Som-
nambula.” The house was exceedingly
thronged, not with mere fashionable peo
ple but with obviously genuine lovers of
music. She came down the stage in her
own original way, careless, common
place, almost awkward, and altogeth
but a simple peasant girl. Her face did
not at first strike me as beautiful, although
with her handsome head, Turkish eye
and sunshiny smiles, far from homely.—
As 1 looked upon her, just ripened as she
was fairly into womanhood, and thought
how many millions had murmured “Maii-
bran,” with rapture; how wide blown
;md general as the very uir, her fame was;
how, in her own fiery clime of Italy,
crowds, under the intolerable intoxication
of her genius, had almost shaken down
their temples of music upon her head;
and now, wherever she moved, on her
steps waited more than the homage of a
queen, sober judgment convinced me that
even her extraordinary talents were over
rated.
1 had been, for years, in the occasional
habit of hearing her, and always with an
ext;avagmt gratification, not unworthy
her wildest transalpine adorers; but youth,
I thought had painted her in too glowing
colors, and a maturer judgement would
now correct the illusion. For several
minutes while she sang, I indulged in
philosophical musings, to the effect that i
was growing wise; and, also, old; that
time had begun to abate tlie fervor of
fancy; and that a feeling, half sadness
and half congratulation, 1 should bid adieu
lo boyish ardour, and accept the safer
companionship of age and experience.—

The
upon me in ihe miffst of my reflections,
not a little ruffling tlicir placid stream,
and a sudden gush of melody,—now the
wild revelry of a lark, mounting to the
sun, and now the deep tones of a trumpet
startling a city of sleepers to war and
death—effectually put tu flight my philo-
phy, and taught me due homage to
genius. From this moment she went on
developing, more and more distinctly, her
wonderful qualities both as an actress and
vocalist, and proving that time instead of
tempering my l'ervur, ]g;d but Strengthen
ed it to a fuller appreciation of her powers,
which, perhaps she had also brought to
mere amazing perfection. At length 1
was wrought to a degree of excitement
amounting almost to pain, and which,
perhaps, only certain tremendous realities
ot life should produce. When Amina,
crushed and broken hearted by the scorn
of the village, the triumph ot her rival and
the abhorrence ol a lover, abandons herself
to despair, and when again she walks
lortli inker disturbed sleep, re-establishes
her innocence by the well imagined
chance, and awakens to the full discovery
ol all she had lost, it is utterly impossi
ble to describe in ordinary terms, the
power of the actress, the splendor of the
vocalist, the magnificent charms of the
woman, or the unmeasured emotions of
the audience.
Softened, subdued, ashamed and
struggling vainly away from the spells of
this dazzling and terrible enchantress, I
was captivated beyond die possibility of
resistance. Bathed in a beauty that seem
ed descended upon her as if by magic,
living light appeared to fill from her eyes,
with each new outburst of ravishing music,
and she shone like some enchanted vision
of an opium eater’s imagination. Her
passionate attitudes, her commanding
gestures, her dignified, yet lovely form,
clad, though, not immodestly, in such
drapery as sculpture loves, the remarka
ble and expressive play of her features,
her noble and Juno like brow, her tread
across the stage as of a goddess of Olym
pus, and above all her inconceivable sing
ing, impressed an infallible picture upon
my mind—Joan d’Arc in the shock of
battle, or some fiery priestess delivering
the answer of her God at Delphi. The
audience shared my enthusiasm. They
rose, they shouted, they thundered; hats,
hands, handkerchiefs, and shawls, waved
from every quarter of the house and peal
broke forth again, again, and again, as if
the hurricane she had raised would never
subside.
Thus she was—throned in light—float
ing on music—greeted almost by fearful
tumult of adulation and wonder—her eyes
darting because of joy and beauty—her
countenance glowing with the delight she
felt and imparted—swaying, at her will
thousands of hearts at the same moment
—and kindled herself with the most vivid
impulse of life—it was thus I last beheld
this arch empress of tragedy and music,
a few brief days before she closed her
existence. Is it possible to picture her,
inspired and rapture breathing creature as
she was, at a moment’s warning, in the
midst of her fame from the worship of ex
pectant and gay multitudes, called to the
feverish pillow, passing through the stages
ol a prostrating malady, that voice with
which all Europe rings, sunk to a dying
whisper, those burning eyes quenched;
those impassioned lips locked in icy- and
eternal silence, and that bright form,
whose revelations to us have been only in
enchantment and splendour, hidden for
ever in the grave!
The Story of Morgan Jones and the Devil.
Some twenty years ago, when in retired
parts of the country, the communication be
tween one place and another was much
slower and less frequent than it is now,
there was a great deal of horse-stealing
carried on in the English counties on the
borders ofWales. Those counties were
and are very full of pretty little towns and
villages, in one or another of which there
were fairs for the sale of live stock almost
ever}- day of the year, and it was easy to
steal a horse from one parish, and carry'it
away and sell it at some one of these fairs,
dinost before the rightful owner knew he
had lost il. Well, it so happened, that a-
bout this time lived a lazy, careless, fro
licking sort of fellow, by name, Morgan
Jones, who contrived to make a living
somehow or other, but how it was, nobody
well knew, though most people suspected
that it was not the most honest livelihood a
person might gain.
In fact, every body was sure that Mor
gan was deeply implicated in horse-steal
ing, and many a time had he been brought
before the justice on suspicion, but do
what they could, nobody could find suffi
cient evidence to convict him. People
wondered and talked about it for a long
time, until at last they came to the natu
ral conclusion, namely, that Morgan Jones
must have dealings with the evil one.—
Now it once happened that Morgan and
some of his chosen chronics were making
themselves jolly over sundry pots of ale
and pipes of tobacco, at a round white
deal table, in the clean parlour of a very
neat litttle alehouse, as all village ale
houses are in that part of the country.—
And they began to get very happy and
comfortable together, and were telling one
another their adventures, till at last one
spoke plainly out, and told Morgan Jones,
that it was commonly reported he had to
do with the devil.
“Why, yes,” answered Morgan,
“there’s some truth in that same, sure
enough; I used to meet with him now and
then but we fell out, and I have not seen
him these two months.” v “Ah!” exclaim
ed each of the party, “how’s that Morgan!
“Why, then, be quiet now, and I’ll tell
you it all.” And thereupon Morgan emp
tied bis pot, and had filled again, aud took
a puff of his pipe, and began his story.—
“Well then,” says he, “you must know
that I had not seen his honour for a long
time, and it was about two months ago
from this that we went one evening along
the brook shooting wild fowl, and as I was
goin" whistling along whom should I spy
coming up but the devil himself? But
you must know he was dressed mighty
fine, like any grand gentleman, though
1 knew the old one well by the bit of his
tail which hung out at the bottom of his
trousers. \\ ell, he came up, and says lie,
‘Morgan, how are you?’ and, says I, touch
ing my hat,” pretty well, your honour, I
thank you.”. Aud then, says he. “Mor
gan, what are you looking a’ter and what’s
that long thing ye’re carrying with you?’
And, says I, “I’m only walking out by the
brook this fine evening, and carryinc niv
backv-pipe with me to smoke,”
Well, you all know tlie old fellow
mighty fond ofthebaeky; so, says lie,‘Mor
gan, let’s have a smoke”, and I’ll thank ye.’
And, says I, ‘you’re mighty welcome.’—
So I gave him the gun, and he put the muz
zle in his mouth to smoke, and thinks I,
This singular incident is exactly true in
every particular. We had the facts yes
terday from a gentleman who received
them from Mr. Seymour himself. Of its
truth there is no deffibt. A great excite
ment is created in Brooklyn. Can aDy
philosopher or divine explain the pheno
menon ol his dream—his presentment of
death—his feelings—or the said catas-
throphe? Will Professor Silliman, or any
othersavan go and examine Sirs. Cunning
ham and her children? It should be in

A new, and it would appear, a most
effectual safe guard against lire, has been
discovered by a gentleman of Washing
ton. It is a composition of tbs appear
ance and consistence of paint, wLeu ap
plied to wood it renders it secure from
damage or destruction by fire. A public
experiment of its utility was made last
week in \\ ashington, in the presence of
the Mayor, General Gratiot, Col. Ed wads,
Mr. Cunningham, and several other gen
tlemen, the surprising results of which
are thus noticed in the Georgetown Me
tropolitan;
Two small houses had been const fuel
ed of dry pine boards, the one open to
permit a free passage for the flames and
air, and the other built close and secure.
Thirty barrels of pine shavings were
then placed around and in contact with
both the buildings, and six barrels of the
same inflammable matter were piled up
on the floor of the open house in contact
also with the sides of the interior. When
the match was applied, the flames rose tu
a considerable height above both the
structures, with much fierceness; but on
the decay of the fire, it was found that
the house was not even scorched, ex
cept in one or two places, where the paint
Jiud not been well applied. The close
built house, which had been properly
prepared, escaped entirely. The fire
continued for nearly an hour in a manner
that would certainly have reduced to a
heap of ashes any pine, oak, or other
wooden building covered with ordii.
‘I
have you now, old boy,’ cause you see I
wanted to quarrel with him; so I pulled the
trigger, and off went the gun bang in his
mouth. ‘Puff!’ says he, when he pulled it
out of his mouth, and he stoppped a minute
to think about it, and says he, ‘D—cl strong
backy, Morgan!’ Then he gave me the gun,
and looked huffed, and walked off, andsure
enough I’ve never seen him since. And
that’s tlie way I got shut of the old gentle
man, my boys!” Such is the ludicrous
story of Morgan Jones, who had lo do with
a proper Welsh devil without doubt.—Fo
reign Quarterly llcvicw.
Singular Fatality—A Dream.—On Sun
day night last, a workman by the name of
Cunningham, who was employed in the
factory of Mr. Seymour, Brooklyn, dream
ed that he saw the clouds roll away in the
sky—the heavens opening—and a being
like the Son ofMan descending to the earth,
surrounded with numerous spirits and an
gels. In the morning when he awoke, lie
told his wile, Mrs. Cunningham, of his
dream, and said to her—“My dear wife,
I do believe I am called hence—I feel dial
my day is come.”
“Oh! now, liusbnnd!—why should you
talk so? It is only a dream.”
He resumed his composure—sat down
to breakfast—eat silently with his family,
and then rose up to go to his work. Be
fore he left his apartment, lie looked back,
and beheld his wife gazing after him. He
immediately returned and bid his wife an
affectionate farewell—“Farewell” said he
“my children, for I do believe I am called
hence, and shall never see you again.”
His wife endeavored to smooth over the
grief which preyed upon his mind in con
sequence of the dream. ’T would not do.
He went to his work at Mr. Seymours’s
factory. He was attentive as usual, but
extremely depressed in spirits. But the
denouement came at last. In the middle
of the afternoon he was caught by the ma
chinery, and hi? whole body torn to pie

Colonel I’amboeuf declares that this

others who witnessed the experiment,

Xew Bee Hive.—An inhabitant of Con
necticut, Mr. Judd, has invented a con
trivance by means of which bees are
made to build their cells and deposite
their honey in tiie chamber of a dwelling
house in neat little drawers from which
it may be taken by the owner, without
killing tlie insect. The Norwalk Gazette
describes it as follows:
“The Hive has the appearance of, and
is in part a mahogany bureau or side
board, with drawers above and a closet
below, with glass doors. This case or
bureau is designed to be placed in a
chamber of the house, or any other suita
ble building, and connected with the epou
air or outside of the house by a tube
passing through the wall. The bees
work and deposit their honey in drawers.
When those or any of them arc full, or it
is desired to obtain honey, one or more of
them may be taken out,” the bees allow
ed to escape into the other part of the
hive, and the honey taken away.”
The glass doors allow the working of
ihe bees to be observed, and it is added
that the spaciousness, cleanliness, and e-
veu temperature 5)f the habitations pro
vided for them in this manner, render
them the more industrious.—Evening Fost.
Curious Experiment in Sutural History.—
.1 imi y C>f the name ol’LenJoir particulav-
larly attatched lo the study of nature, had
a fancy lo attemp to hatch an egg by the
natural heat of her hosom. Having se
lected a new laid one of a favourite breed,
and put it into a flannel bag, she placed it
between her breasts, carefully attending
at night to secure that portion of warmth
necessary to pcrlct existance, during incu
bation. At length the time came to relieve
the nascent chick from the brittle shell of
its confinement; the moment was percepti
ble by the appearance of its little heal*
through the large end of the shell—but lest
an injury should arise to the animal
by too precipitate a wish to emancipate it
from its prison, the lady frequently applied
a drop of water to the bill oi'lier nursling,
till at last it had acquired strength to effect
its own deliverance.
It appeared in every respect as perfect
as if it had been reared by its natural
mother; but its foster parent, not thinking
her task finished, attended to its feeding
with the utmost assiduity; vigilantly pro
tected it from the cold; and in the due time
had the pleasure to find it a fine hen-bird,
ol perfect growth and beauty.
In the course of three years it laid 300
eggs, and brought up several broods of
chickens, and one of ducks; but its singu
lar habits are yet to be remarkeed, and are
well deserving the notice of the curious
in natural history. Its domestic qualities
arc numerous. It constantly prefers tho
house and the company of its kind protec
tor lo that of its own species, and shows a
desire to accompany her wherever sho
goes.
This extraordinary' hen abtained the
name of Fanny, seems to understand its
mistress’s language, and by marks of
affection shows it is not insensible to grati
tude. In a word, it appears to have* lost
many of the natural habitudes of its kind,
to have acquired some of the best qualities
of the human race—a sense of attachment,
and a desire to render itself agreeable.
Advantage of Advertising.—A lady lost a ve
ry valuable bracelet the other evening; for the*
recovery of which a gentleman offered ten dol

at cloven o’clock on the same day it was brought

Failure of die Homeopathics.—In 1832
Guerard the most celebrated hoinoepathi*
doctor in this town(Lyons) was admittet
into a ward containing 30 patients, wifi*
liberty to choose what cases he thoug!
best adopted to prove the success of tbit
Hahneman medical doctrine. The onl
condition required was, that his visits
should be at stated bouts, of wqich previ
ous notice was to be given, in order that
any one might be at liberty to assist a
th cm. Fifteen acute and chronic diseases
(fever, pneumonia, eryspelas, pulmanary
catarrh, measles, icterus, diabates,) were-
chosen by Dr. Guerard: and every clay,
in the presence of 60 pupils and several
practioners of this towd, he administered
the Homoepathic doses, and prescribed tkn
regimen.- These experiments lasted 17
days, after which Dr. Guerard voluntarily
withdrew. During the 17 days no ad
vantageous result no amendment that
could be ascribed to the homoeopathic-
method was observed even by Dr-
Guerard himself; aiul three times da
ring the course of these e xperiments he
found the necessity of departing from the
Hahnemannic doctrine. The house doc
tor twice took upon himselfto save a patient
laboring under pneumonia, whose case
pcremtorilv required loss of blood. Ha
made use of the lancet, instead of an hom w
oepathic dose of aconite. Such is the re
sult of the experiments made at the Hotel
Dieu at Lyons.—Exposition of Homocpa-

Sack is the disinfi ctir.g and purifying nature-
<jf the Chloride of Soda, that the writer saw a
neat’s tongue, last Friday, taken fjom a pickitr
tul) in a tainted and offensive condition, and after -
being washed in several tubs of pure water,and
soaked in pure water lor hours it si'll rataiuod
its oflensiveness, when a wine glass fell of fresh
Chloride of Soda was poured on o*« quart of
waicr, and the tainted tongue washed themiir
for five minutes, and it became as sweet' a»
though just taken hum the creature’s mouth:
the same tongue was then washed in pure waton
aud boiled, and a sweeter piece of meal was ne-.
ver served upon any table.
At this time tlie writer was suffering from an
inflamed and swollen check, in consequence of«
decayed tooth; it occurred to him to tr} the ex
periment on Ids face, he accordingly took nix?
ten spoonful with twenty of pure water, and
with a soft brush washing the inside ofhis cheek
and tlie whole mouth therewith,it soon relieved
the pain, and allayed the inflammation, and tho.
swelling gradually subsided. 1 do not say* that
every thing called the Chloride of Soda will per.,
form these tilings, but this was fresh made, by
an excellent chemist.—Philadel. V, S. Gazette.
T aluahle Discovery.—A baker, some-few
months back, purchased a picture at Lar-
ken, for 30 francs. He discovered, eight
months after, the name of tlie painter, and
the date when it was finished, delineated
on a cap in the painting, and which prov
ed to be the work of the celebrated Othan,
Vanveen, executed in 1597. The subject
is “Abigail coming out to meet David.'*
The painting is on a panne), five feet bv
three, and from appearance lias been re--
touched. Its preservation is so great, that
it appears to have been painted
only a few years. The fortunate posses
sor of this valuable relic has been offered,
at various times from 10.000 to 18*-
000 francs. lie is visited daily by ama
teurs, who arc anxious to have a glance at
it.—French F^ )er .
Coquette.—A female general who builds
her fame on her advances.—A coquette
may be compared to tinder, which lays it
self out to catch sparks, but docs not al
ways succeed in lighting up a match.
Men arc perserve creatures; they Hy that
which pursues them, and pursue that
which flies them. Forwardness therefore,
on the part of a woman makes them draw
backwardness draws them forward
1 here will always be this difference be
tween a coquette and a woman of sense
and modesty, that while one courts every
man, every man will court the other.—
\V hen the coquette settles into an old maid,
it is not unusual to see her as staid aud
formal as site was previously versatile.
A Texian.—1 jocosely asked a ragged
hunter, who was a smart, active young fel
low, of the steamboat and alligator breed,
whether he wasa rhinoceros oraliyena,lie
was so eager for a fight with the invaders.
“Neither the one nor t’other Colonel,”
says he, “but a whole menagerie in myself.
I’m shaggy as a bear, wolfish alxmt the
head, active asacouger, and can grin like
a hyena until the bark will curl off’a gum
log. There’s sprinkling of all sorts in me,
from the lion down lo the skunk; and be
fore the war is over you’ll pronounce me
an entire Zoological Institute, or I miss
a figure in my calculation. I promise to
swallow Santa Anna whole, if you will
only skewer back bis cars, and grease his
bead a little.
Ihe Clear Grit.—Young Durivage, tho
comic actor, writes and sp«uks as good
^ ankee its any man on the stage.—He
headed his benefit bill at Bangor, with tlie
following cute phrase:—
“Our folks want to know, if vour folks
il come down tonight to see our folks, and
fetch all your folks along? All the fellers
must put on their vellerest vests and stil
lest shirt collars, and letch all the gals, and
I’ll bet a hunk of ginger bread agin a gob
of’lasses candy that you’ll have a bun
kum time!”
On Tuesday last, about lQ.<AToclt, A..
M. six of the laborers on section twenty--
six of the Georgia raiboad, were killed,,
while excavating, by the lulling in-of tho*
ground over their heads. A tunnel of a-,
bout twenty feet had been dug out; they
were working at the farthest point* andjso,
sudden was the fall that no time f»5r es
cape was allowed,. Six were killed
stantly and two others dangerously in-,
jured. A horse cart standing at or near
the entrance of the tunnel was also enisl
ed by the mass of earth; the horse escap-.
ed unhurt.—Augusta, Sentinel, 15/4 *>«/,
Monsieur Mauriat, in his last ascensioi^
