EXEMPLARY REPROOF.

There is scarcely any duty which
christians owe to each other that's more
important than faithful reprooG and per-
haps none that requires more wisdom
and prudence to perform it in manner
which tends to real advantage. In
many instances the abrupt and angry
manner, in which reproof is given, does
more hurt than good, aud becomes a
greater crime than the evil reproved.
The reproof given by bishop Seeker to
DR.. Doddrdge, in answer to an extrav-
agantly comphmental epistle, is Of the
most exemplary kind. 81 return you
many thanks (said the good bishop for
your favourable opinion both ofmy ser
mon and lis author, though expressed
in manner which you would have for
borne if you had known me better

al and Bodily Functions.
The following singular case was re-
lated by Sir Ashley Cooper in his lee
ture of Wednesday last: ....
"The circumstance which | shall
mention is one, which, whether we re-
gard it in a physiological or surgical
point Of view, is, perhaps, one of the
most extraordinary which ever occur
red; and is connected with surgery and
physiology.
A man was pressed on board of one
OF his MaJesty's ships, early in the late
Revolutionary war. WrIle on board
this vessel, in the Mediterranean, he
received fall from the yard arm, and
when picked up, he was found to be
insensible. The vessel soon after max
ing Gibraltar, he was deposited in an
hospital in that place, where he re-
NAMED for some months, still insensi-
bic; and some time after he was brought
from Gibraltar on board the Dol phin
frigate, to depot for sailors at Dept
ford. While he was at Deptford, the
surgeon under whose care he was, was
visited by MIR Davy, who was then an
apprentice at this hospital; the surgeon
said to Mr.. Davy, 4" | have case which
think you would like to see. 1t is a
man who has been insensible for many
mouths; he lies on his back with very
few signs of life; he breathes, indeed,
has pulse and some motion in his fin
gers; but in all other respects he is
apparently deprived Of all powers OF
mind volition, or sensation. Mr.. Davy
went to see the case; and, on examining
the patient, found that there was a
slight depression on one part Of the
head. Being informed Of the accident
which had occasioned this depression,
he recommended the man to be sent
10 81. Thomas's Hospital-He was plac-
ed under the care of Mr. Cline and
when he was first admitted into this
hospital, | saw him lying on his bach,
breathing without any great difficulty !;
his pulse regular, his arms extended,
and his fingers moving to and fro 10 the
motion of his heart; so that you could
count his pulse by the motion of Ills
fingers. II he wanted food he had the
power of moving his lips and tongue /;
and this action of his muoth was the sig
nal to his attendants for supplying this
want.
Mr.. Cline OH examining his head,
found an obvious depression; and 10
months and few days after the ac-
cident, he was carried into the operat-
ing theatre, and there trephined. The
depressed portion Of bone was elevated
from the skull. While he was lying
on the table, the motion Of his fingers

Town CLocKs.-Jehiel Clark, an inge-
NOUS mechanic of Cazenoyia, Madison
County, exhibited in this place, the
week past, a model of his improved
Town Clocks. The expense of these
clocks varies from two TO five hundred
dollars. They are simple in their con-
struction, and have been fully proved
TO be accurate time keepers, In addi-
tion to giving the hour of the day, they
ring the bell at nine O'Clock in the morn
ing, at noon, and at nine in the evening :
on the Sabbath, they ring twice for
meeting, in the morning, and also in the
afternoon, at such hour as shall be re-
quired and toll for the minister until he
enters the pulpit and touches spring.
These clocks can be SO put up, as in no
way to interfere with the ringing of the
bell for fire or any other extra occa-
sion. Mr.. Clark has applied TO the Pat
ent Office. for Letters Patent for his
Improvement. The Patentee is said to
be poor, hut very worthy man, and
deserving pubic patronage.

VIRTUE.-Vntue is the foundation of
honor and esteem, and the source Of all
beauty. order and happiness in our ma
ture. 1t is what confers value on all
other endowments and qualities ola rea-
sonable being, to which they ought to
be absolutely subservient, and without
which, the more eminent they are, the
more tedious deformties, aud the grea-
ter curses they become. The use of it is
not confined to any stage of our exis-
tence, or to any particular situation we
can be in, but reaches through all the
periods and circumstances Of our beings
Many of the endowments and talents we
now possess, ard which we are to apt
to be proud, will cease entirely with
the present state but this will be our
ornament and dignity in every future
state to which we may be removed.

Medical Qualities Of Oysters in Ftrers and
C0nSumpttonS.


COnSumpttonS.
Oysters are mild, baisamlc and cool
ing article of food, and are of the ut
most benefit to those who are troubled
with warm tlushings of the face, and
other feyerish symptoms, usually felt IN
declines. and in nervous and irritable
constitutions. Ii is quite possible, in
deed, by making them principle part
of a meal, to prevent in a great meas
ure. the Irritation and heat which pro-
duces the hacking and distresstul cough
in the more advanced stage of consump-
ton. Oysters, indeed, and other mud
nourishing food, will often altogether
prevent consumption in those who are
disposed to it from hereditary causes.
A young lady, ola very narrow chest,
and slender consumptiye make, whose
mother and two sisters died Of declines,
by avoiding beef, mutton, pork, and all
sorts of red meat, and contiaing herself
wholly to diet of oysters, and other
shell fish, while they were in season,
and to boiled chicken and other white
meats, with biscuits instead of bread,
and lice instead of vegetables, soon be-
comes healthy and active, and escaped
for many years the dangerous decline
which threatened her. II is to be re-
marked, however, that oysters when
too copiously eaten, are too cold for
very weak stomachs, unless acccompa-
MED with good pepper, or cayenne,
Vinegar ought never to be used by those
who eat oysters " to enrich the blood, y
or to prevent consumptions. Instead OF
vinegar very little white wine may
be added; but not when there is ie-
yer or cough. When too many oysters
have been incautiously eaten, and are
felt lying cold and heavy on the stom-
ach, we have an infallible and imme-
date remedy in hot milk, of which halt
a pint may be drank, and it will quickly
dissolve the oysters into bland, creamy
jelly. Weak and consumptive persons
should always take this after their meal
