The more enquiry i make, the n-, ore I am satisfied oi the truth cl the account. " About three weeks age, two $tt tie boys clothed the eldest appearing about thirteen and the ynun:st IK caneu at the lodging house tor vag rants in thb town, for a n:ht s lodg ing : the keeper of the house, verv properly, lock them to the vagrant of r i - rnee to ce examined ; ann, st proper objects, to be relieved The account theypave of themselves w ii extreme y afft ctin ; and no doubt was enter tamed of us truth. It appva-ed, that but a few weeks had elapsed, since these poor little wanderers had rcsid cd with their parents, in London.The typhus fever, hov vcr, in one day, earned off both father and mother, leaving them orphans, in a wide world, without a home and without friends ! Immediately after the last mournful tribute had been paid to their parents memory, having au.un clem Liverpool poor and destitute as they were, they resolved to go and throw themselves upon his protection Tired therefore and fain, the? arrived in this town on their nay. Two bundles contained their liltlc all. In the youngest boy's was found, neatly ccv erd and cart fully preserved, a ,bk. The k' rpr cf the lodging hou, ad dress'ng the little boy, said You have neither money nor meat, will you sell mc this Bible : I will riv- you 5 &htl lings for it.' No 1' exclaimed he, ftic tears rolling down bis youthful cheecks,J I'll starve first He then said, there are plenty of books to b. bought besides this : why do you love the Bible so much r He replied, 'No book has stood, my friend, so much as the B;'le. Why, what has the Bible done fr you? said he. He answered when I was a little boy, about s:ven years age, I became a Sunday scholar in London ; through the kind alien lion of my master, I soon learned to read my Bible this Bible, young as I wis. shewed me that I was a sinner, a d a great one too ; it also pointed tne to a Savior, and I thank God that I have found mercy at the hands o! Christ, and am not ashamed to ton ies bim before the whole World ' To try him still futther. six shillings were then offered him for his B ble. ' No, said he, 1 tor it has been my support all the way fiom London : hun . gry and weary, ofttn have I sat down by the way side to read my Bible, and hive found refreshment from it.'Thu did he experience the consolation of the Psalmist, when he snici, In the multitude of the sorrows that I had in my heart, thy comfnits have rclresh ed my soul He was then asked what will you do when you get to Li verpool should your uncle refuse to take you in I His reply may excite a blush in many established christians. My Bible tells me, said he, when my father and my mother foresake me, then the Lord wdl take me up. The man could go no further, tears choaked his utterance, and they both wtp together. They had tickets in their pockets, as rewards for their good con duct, from the school to which they' belonged, and thankfulness and hu rndity were visible in all their deportment. At night, these two little orphans. Lending their knees by the side of the bed, committed thrmelves to the care of their Heavenly Fatherto him Tibosc cars arc ctct open, to lbs pray-

ftho peortni destitute; and to' who has said, Call upon me in y of trouble ; I will deliver thee Sou shah glorify me. The next ng these refreshed little wanarose early, addressed them to their journey, and set out 'own of Liverpool, and may hears the ravens cry, hear r their petitions, guide them ne, and bless tiem in cter- .

Medical College of Ohio. THE Facuhy of lIUs Institution have the pica1 i:re ol announcing: thru its organization is at length effected, and that fill 001:1505 of ieefiires on the various branches of medical science will be delivered during, the easuin; winter. The assignment of the diiTereut departments tor the l.rst session, viil be os follows: T a " a T-V -k a- - jasmines ana 1 ractice of U'';cnf, mciur.mir Obstetrics &vA the Diseases cJ'H'cmcn and Children, D vviEi.

(President ct the Cincinnati College, ) ar.isfa1 ry Mr. R bep.t Best Curator of the Western Museum JTcdical Jm imprudence will be divided omens t!ie uiiterent professors, according to lis rtlattons with Use branches which th?v teach. After the termination ot the session, fh.culd a sufficient class be constituted, a course of Botan irte Lectures will be delivered, in wLkh the lead ing object will be to illustrate the Medical Botenvcf the United States. The Medical College of Ohio was incorporat ed by the Ledslatm-e of this state in the begin ning of the year 1819; and but for an unexpect ed and serious disaster, would have been 111 opration the succeeding Autumn The considerations which originally suggested the establishment of a Medical School in Cincin nati, and which doubtless induced the General Assembly to give it Legislative 6anction, were, first, the obvious acd increasing necessity of 6uch an institution in the Western Country; ar.d, secondly, the peculiar advantage and fitness of this city for the successful execution of the project. These, arc, its central situation, its northern la titude, its easy water communication with most parts of the Western Country, and, above a5I,its eomparatiely numerous population. This al ready exceeds ten thousand more than double the number of any other inland town in the new states; and from the facility of emigratir. to it y water, the prona tion of indigent emigrants is unusallv nxcat. The. professors, placed on this ample theatre, will, therefore, have constant op portunities of treating a Great varict of oases, and thus be able to impart ti their class lno--e principle and rules of practice which are f ram ed fro!u dr.i!y observations on the disease.? which the strident will have ta encounter after the tercunation of lis Collc'jr'atc cocrse The same state of tubus has compelled the gaardians of the poor to collect their sick into one edifice and thus to lay the foundation of a permanent hospiial, the care of which has been confided to one of the pi-ofecrs. Li this hospital, which is never wi'hout patients, the students will here many opportunities of hearing Clin'irat Lectures, and ol witnessing illustrations ot the various doctrines which are taught in the ColFinuilv, every medicil man will perceive, that amid so mixed ami multiplied a population. ae opportunities prc"ent;d to tho western stu dent for the study of Practical Jliisiomy, will altogether exceed any which he can enjoy without inclin ing the expense of a journey to the schools of the Atlantic states. To these solid ami pre-cniicent advantages, he TacuItV have added several ethers which they deem worthy of consideration. The Library provided for the institution, al ready consists of more than five hundred volumes in the English and French languages, and embraces most of the text and elementary, and many of the rare and curious works in .inct omy the parctice cf Physic, Surzei-y, Obstetrics, Chemisirv, Materia Jledica, Medical Jurisprudence, and Bctanv. both zeneral and medicii!. The Lectures on .-J.-Miowv; in addition to de monstrations cn the receet sul-iect, will be illustratedby a varif ty cf prepations made, expressy lor the purpose by the professor. ihe Lectures on i-xuxery and Obttehicts will be elucidated by numerous operations, instru ments, and models The Laberatirv of the professor of Ohemistnr is well supplied with the apparatus recess"ry to an extended course mi that sciei.te. iiieluni'ir Electricity and Galvanism, as an introduction. Lastly, the collections cf the Ulster ji Muse um Society, will furnish these nho may be dis posed to devote a part of their time to the study of Mineralogy, Geology, and Ziolczy, witn many tavorable opportunities cf improvement. J be session win commence the first week cf Nov. and end the fa-st week of April. This ex tension of the term a month bevoud the usual period m the LTnited State, ca-mot hurt be rea dily approved by the respectable physjaam of the Western Countrv. In the best sc.aola of Europe, indeed, the length of a session is gener ally still greater; and it is a matter of notonetv. that in the otherwise excellent institutions of the eastern cities, four mouths have been found too short a term to permit the student to arranT.( and to appropriate to himself, the multitude of fticts and speculations which are imparted by six if se ven professors during that hmiteU period The innovation which is here proposed, essentially consists in lessening the number of professcrt fit extending tbt durttioa of their courses; whexehj

Aeitaieftf will te fcaT&ened with no usore lee-' tares, daily, than he can well comprchend and

retain By Urn arrangement, nearly as many lectures will be delivered each session, by four proiessors 1a tins College as are delivered by six during a session of the University of Penn sylvania; and when a fifth professor is appointed, a measure that is in contemolation, the number uf lectures in the two institutions will be about the same, while the expense of an additional month's residtnee here giving ample time to prepare for graduation will not amount to that of the ticket sf a sixth professor. The faculty hare selecied, as a standard of comparison, the Philadelphia school, which has six professors. fr.-m its bcinf the olJcstin the Union; but there are others w.iich,witha session of four months, have sere n professors. In these, the students is net only overwhelmed and confused by the nutn rer of lecMirs to which he is obliged to attend every day; hit the expense of his collegiate course is considerably greater than it would be, were he, conformably to the regulation of this college, to attend a smaller number of professors for a longer tern. As it respects both expense and impruvcmfi.t, then it is quite evident tLat this ar rangement is exclusively for the benefit of the pupil. The commencement for conferring degrees, will be h id immediately aflcr the termination of the session. The candidate mny write Lis thesis in the La t, English, or French language. He will not be compelled to print it, though, the practice is strongly recommended. Two foil courses will be requisite before graduation, to all candidates, excepting tiior-e who have bern practitioners of physic for four years, of whom but one course will be required. Student who have attended a single course in any other institution, must attend a second in this before graduation. Those who have attended two course elsewhere, may become candidates here, without further study, and will be allowed to graduate upon the same terms as allumni of the College, No lVes will be exacted of any student after his secoud course in this school, should he see proper to attend any subsequent session. To pomote emulation, the Faculty will 1 ward annually a silver medal, for ihe best ex ;)c.-jr:ieTifunniugiiial thesis, proviiled they consider it worthy o' being printed; and to awaken (lie attention of the profession in the Western country, to tne cultivation ol classical literature, taey win award, yearly, a similar prize for the be.;t inaugural disertation in the Latin language, shmdd its excellence of composition eutitie it to publication. The Ifctures oa Anatomy and Sunrcry. and these, on the practice of Medcine and Obstertrics, win De delivered naily. Those on Materia Mc !ica, and Chemistry, four or five times a week Lc price of each ticket will be twenty dollars; he matriculation lee, including the use of the .ibrary and admission to tua osnital. wi'i be rive uodars. The expence of residing in Cincinnati will certainly be. as little as in any other town in the western States. Comfortable subsistancc. arlth all uecessary contingences, can be obtained for three dollars, or three dollars and fifty cents uer week. Th? whole expense of a full cmrse of lectures and five month's residence here, need not exc ed one hundred and sixty. dollars. it may not be unimportant to inform the dis tant student, that ihe bot-ksellers and druasists1 shops of the city, are well supplied with medical nooks, medicines, & surgeons' instruments. Sr that graduates can at once supply themselves with all that aay be necessary to their commeucins the practice of the profession. By order of the Faculty. DANIEL DRAKE, President. Cincinnati Olric. .tfw. 20, 1S20. To the rraclitioiurs and Students of Medicine tn tne If-esffrn Country. By the pubheation of the Faculty of the Medi cal College of Ohio, you will perceive that the first session of that Institution will open the beginning of November next. That you may estimate more fully the advan tages it will afford I beg leave to communicate to you seme information concerning the gentle men who have united widi me in this important enterprise. Mr. Slack is an experienced teacher of chemistry. For several years he was professor of that Science in Princeton College: and more ately and his Cincinnati and his Academicil and College dutic, his indusirv has enabled him to lelivcr two courses of Chemical Lectures. His nowledgc of Chemistry and of Nuturul Philoso phy, is extensive and his labours unwearied. lis assistant Mr. Best, the Curator and prin cipal Artist of the We,stera Museum, a gentle man not yet known to the scientific public out of his city, possesses all the qualifications which can bo required to enable him to fill the station to which he. has been appointed. His ability to mmifrfture apparatus and tests of every Lindi as well as his ingenuity a:id success in the performance of Chemical experiments, exceed those of any man with whom i am acquainted. From the uiiited labours of these two gentlemen, I anti cipate a course of experiments, in the ensuing winter, far more expensive and brilliant than have yet been performed., in the Western Country, and not inferior to those which are exhibited in many of the Eastern Schools. The character and standing of Dr. Bohrer, the Professor of Materia Mcdica and Pharmacy , may be seen from the following document. "We, the officers of the Medical Society of the District of Columbia, take pleasure in stating our candid opinion of the character and professonal merits of Benjamin S. Bohrer, M. D. a member of this Society "Dr. Bohrer, has received a regular Medical education, ami gradutaed in tmi Univeisitr of Pennsylvania in IS 10. Since that time, he has pursued the practice, of Physic in Georgetown. .U. C. with success and industry; and from i' great application, Lidtfatigable attention and discriminating observation, he, has acquired a f.md of professional information, which has justly placed him on high grounds as a practitioner of Medicine, and fully entitles him to the resprrt and confidence which he so eminently enjoys- -As a geutleman he is correct, and honorable in the highest degree.

'N. W. WORTHINGTON. Librarian, In support of this respectable testimony of professional merit, the following extract of a letter fmm the Hon. Jusiah Meigs . of Washington City may be cited. I consider Doctor Bohrer, a man of such qua! i tics . ?r.r ntal and corporeal, as woaH not enly justify any respectable literary institution, but to doitcredit; if he were entrusted with any important department in it." The succeeding extracts and eei tificate in favour of Dr. Smith, will show what expectations may be entertained of hisperformance, as professor of Anatomy and Surgery. Doctor George C. Sbattuck, one of the eminent practitioners of Boston, observers: ' If your Medical School bid fair to rise rapidly into public favor, I know a person who has the q ahficaticLi you wtflt The gentleman to

Anatomy, as Lmnxus had for Botany. To a strong mind and vigorous constitution, he unites habits of the most potent labour, and a sound discretion. He received his Accademical education at Dartmouth College, and bis Professional, at Harvard Lniversity. During the. antomn of is 19, he delivered a course of Lectures oa Ana tomyat Dartmouth, to a class of seventv or eicdi ty pupils. Dr. Nathan Smith, the founder of that school, now attached to Yale Collere. and Dr Cyrus Perkins, at present of New York , had both lectured for some time on the same branch , in that Institution. Many persons who had heard the Lectures rf those respectable Professors, have expressed a decided preference for those of this gentleman. His name is Isaac Smith, nephew of the late governor of Newuampsmre." The following extract of a letter from Dr. Thomas Se wall, a gentleman of hiih resnecta bility. at present, resident at Washington city, lully corroborates the testimony of Dr. S'uattuck. "Dr. Smith rave a coixsc cf Anatomical Ia:c tares last autumn at Dartmouth College, and so tarasl have learned, with considerable eclat Ha .... I 1 1 1 iic m'iHu,iH'kinc weii, crte couKt 110: even have given satisfaction after so good a lecturer as Dr. Perkins. I lis knowledge of Anatomy is u:v dou'jtedly minute and pHi tioular, and his zeal in the cultivation of the science uncommonly treat His energy and decision of char:v'T, are as great as could be de .ired, and his constitution is such as will bear him out iu the arduous labors that must he imputed by the chair of Anatomy and Surgery. He has many verr good Anato mical prep n ations, and my opinion is, that he would do better than any ether pcrsca you can realilv find." The succeeding certiorate fivm t'r.p.

Such is the character of the Professors for whom, as friends to the advancement of Medical Science in the Writ, jour patronage is solicited. That the Medical College of Ol.iy, in its icfanry, can equal the matured Institutions of Philadelphia, New York and Baltimore, it would be preposterous to ast rt; but that a skillful improvement of the advantages of Cincinnati, for suth a school, will in a few years elevate it to their exalted level, there can be no doubt.
