The folio wing ex pi a-.t i:-n ol the cntise cf so many accidents requiting horn ash cs being placed in wooden vessels, is by professor Smith, of New Haven, Con r.ccticut. and contains infoi matiun which j should be generally diffused. Perhaps there are few people who are acquainted with the tact, that ashes made fcv burning hatd wood, such a9 oak, ma pie, Sec in a tire place, and taen up dry, urc capable of producing spontaneous combustion, simply by receiving a degree of moistut t , or by cominp; in contact with a wet board or stave or being exposed to a very damp atmosphere It is generally believed when fi' e is kindied by ashes, that it is causvd by coal being put away with the ashes while on fn c : but this is a mistake. The coals, il they were on fire, when buried in the ashes and excluded fit tn the atmospheric air, would soon be extinguished, or if they were not, they cculd not kindle a fc;c whete tht air was excluded. I lie spontaneous combustion td ashen proceeds from a very iMTercnt principle. Hard woo-J ashes when first made, and ; w hile they ore kept dry, contain a metal called potassium, which is the basis ot potash This metal is very combustible, and has so strong an affinity or attraction fot oxygen, the supporter and cause of combustion, that it takes the oxygen fiom he water the moment it touches it, and burns with a vivid flamo, and the pduct of this combustion is potash, that is, potash is pot3ssim satura ed with oxygen, or what may be called the ox ydc of potassium It shou'd be noticed too, that water i a cr mpound of oxygen and cvdrcgen, and that when the potassi comes in contact ith water it takes ; oxygen frcm it, and the hydrogen being su f. ee, inc? eases the combustion The simple explanation then is this: dry ashes when fiiM burnt, contain in them a metallic substance which is highly inflammable, a d which is set on fire bv moisture. Qinkiime and wa-erpio-duce heat sufficient, in some instances, to set wood on fi. e.but ahes and water produce a much more intense heat In adding water to lime, much heat is evol vt d. but no real combustion is produced; but in adding water to ashes there i a real combustion of the metal ccntaiaed ft. in the ashes; the mct3l being acombiis tib'e substance, requiting nothing but th oxygen cf the water to set it on fire. In reading the foregoing we are reminded of a statement made by one of our most respectable citizens, which was in substance as follows: Returning home from a neighbor's one ev ening, on entering the house his attention was ar rested by an unusual smell and the ap the cause, he tound in his sel ar an ash barrel enveloped inflames The banc in question had been quite tull for weeks no new ashes could have been added in that time, by which th fir.was communicated. I his subject de serves tha attention of housekeepers. Be always nt leisue to do good; nev er u?ke business an excuse to decline the offices cf humanity. fy Exercise, a light supper, and a good conscience are the best promoters o'f1 a good night's rest, and the parents ot un dis urbmg dreams Nothing appears so low and mean as Iviiiir and dissimulation : and. it is obser - vable, that only weak animals endeavor lo supply b? cratt the defects ol u jj a m3n cannol find case within him self, it is to little purpose to seek it else where. , , t'm pC,nnr called ou a spindle shanked old gmth man in small clothes, and tight J v'lk stockings, and inquiretl, da you want j :in' l'm -varc?

THi: REFORMED MEDICAL COLLEGE, c'ortl.fnatoiu BY and with the consent of the Reformed Medical Society of the U. States, the r.c.v Reformed Medical Institution has cen located in Worthington, an interest ing arm nourishing town on i me mir.Mu ne , river, eignt m,ies norm oi couinuus on uic , plants ; and the situation beirg hralthy and delightful in the wesi the most western coun try and because the occupancy of the large college edifice, together with the ground of every variety ot soil tor an extensive botani al garden, has been presented to us by the board of trustees of Worthington college. There will be attached to the institution, a dispensary for analyzing and preparing vegetable medicines. and an infirmary, where persons from the neighborhood, or a distance, laboring under fe ers, consump tions, dyspepsia, liver compl unts, gravely ulcers, fistulas, cancers, tkc. c. will be successfully treated, w ithout bleeding mercury or the kwfc and from which the student will acquire a correct knowledge of the nature, operation and superioi efficacy cf vegetable agents in removing disease. The necessity for such an institution of this kind, in the west, to be under the direc tiou of competent professors, is strikingly ev ident. It is an institution that is designed to concentrate, and dissemi.iate, ail the knowledge and discoveries of doctors of medicine and empyrscs, sages, and savages: and that will demonstrate to the sUnlent ar.d the sick that vt getablcs alone, afford th? only rational, safe, and effectual means of removing diseases, without impairing the con stitution, or endanger life cr limb That the present system of practice, v. hich treat diseases of every form with metallic minerals, the lancet, or the knife, is vgorous or inefficient the lamentable f.ic is which eve ry day present too fully illustrate. Nor is this truth more clearly exhibited, than the fact that vegetable substances alone, arc void of danger, and powei fully efficient when administered: a preference to t! success of our New-York infirmary, and the, success of ignorant botanical physicians, pr- ves this fact. The college and infirmary will.be opened thr first week in December, where students from all parts may enter and coniph te their medical education, and where persons laboring under every .species of disease i-hall receive prompt and faithful attention. The course of study to be pursued, and w hich will be taught according to the OED and the Reformed systems, by Lectures, Recitations, Examinations, and suitable text books, is, 1st. Anatomy and Phvsiolotrv. 2. Old and Reformed Surgery. 3. Theory and Practice of Medicine 4. The old and improved system of Midwifery, with the diseases cf women and children 5. Materia Medica, with practical and general Botany. 6 Medical and Botanical Chemistry and Pharmacy. 7. Stated Lectures on collateral Science Moral and Mental Philosophy ! Phrenology Medical Jnrispi udence ( omparative anatomy. Medical history, 2cc. By attending this institution, the student will acquire a correct knowledge of the pre sent practice of physicianc a knowledge of the use, and abuse, of Minerals, the Lancet, Obstetrical Forceps, and the knife, and a knowledge of the new and improved sys&n., that supeivedt s their use, with tenfold ttWc safety- and success. There w ill be no specified time to complete a course of study ; whenever the student is qualified he may graduate and receive a Diploma some will pass in one year others w ill require more. REQUISITIONS FOR ADMISSION. I. A Ci nineate cf a good moral character. 2 A good English Education. TERMS. The price cf qualify ing a person to practice, including a Diploma, and access to all the advantages of the lustituti mi, will be in adv ance, or S" in adv aiicc, and S00 at the close of his studies. Every advantage given, and some allowance made to those in indigent circumstances. Board will be had at SEOOper week, and hooks at the western city pi ices. iX7"F.very student on entering Worthington college will become an honorary member i f the Reformed Medical Society of the United States from whom he will receive a Diploma, and Annual Report of all the doing?. anA discoveries of its different members, and be entitled to all its constitutional privileges and benefits. Those wishing further information will j please address a letter (post paid) to Col ti. tl. tins wold, or the undersigned, and it shall receiv e prompt attention.
