It was in he month nf October of the same year that Catharine V was sitViug by an upper back-window of her fathci's br'.?n, knitting. .Though autumn, the weather was mild, and the window was hciaieJ about three inches. In tho tear of t! house was tho barn, a huge old fashion cc fl'fire, wllh upper and lower folding tutors the lower doors were closed, and ac' c: Iwi illy casting her eyos towards the barn, e. saw a small back door on a rauga with tf e iro.u door, and "tho window at which site was siuin open, and a nlunbcr of men enter.

A correspondent of thcl'Jew York Siar.in giving some account of Goltingen University i in Germany .state? thatin the rahihet of that institution the greatest curiosity consists of three hodis, which were presented by Dr. Blumenbach. "Two of thohorns are short, thick, and neatly straight; the third is about ten inches longand completely twisted, like a ram's horn. It is rough and round. Iialf an inch in diameter at tbe root, and of a brownish line. These horns arc round and blunt at acrrnscmaifou1 they had a greater affinity in their composi tion to the horn of any other animal. These -three boms were once worn by a woman I She broke her head by a fall.and the longest horn sprouted from the wound. It kept growing for thirty years, and then site cast it. When it dropped off a second came, -which did not grow to such a length, and also dropped off. On the same spot sprouted a third, ail l the woman died while it was growing. Blumenbach cut it from the scliull alter she- had died. Unmmmon as thu tale, may seem, I give it full cre dence.' It is attested not only by lilu menbach's own statement, but by other evi dence." 3 Novel anil Singular Case. Quito an ex'raordmary case u detailed in letters nni; papers from Charleston, It has excited the curiosity of the cilizens of that city., and puzzled1)nlh theti:irned ami unlcnineil. The principal facts may be thus condensed. A patient dnring a recent visit to n friend in the country, felt while in bed, an object of some kind full upon tho upper part of the cheek bone just belnw the left eye. She brushed it away, and after a restless night, awoke in the mornlnsr suffering its conse quences in llie form of acute pain, during which time she removed from the eye sc-eral fragments of the legs of a pi der. Upturning to this city a few days after wards, upon complaining to hef mrtther of a similar sensation, an examination was made wl.en a perfectly formed dead spider, tit small sizp, was removed. A physician be ing called, all proper investigation was made in order, if possible, io disrnver the seat or nidus of the animalsbut this proved fruit less. No enquiry has yet been able to de tppt their seat of cmpir. and yet they have c" tinned to be removed from each eye al- t in.iti'lv, sometimes fiom one alone, some tunes from both, for a space of sis weeks. to an amount on an averaire oT Twin two or tlir.'e overy other day. Porlinne of what in Hitppqsed to be the ovum, have been also d s halved. Each exit of pithcr animal or web, is preceded by arute pain in some pot tion of the organ, and attention being thus called, the object is easily removed by the attendant. The eyes assume nt times puch inflanv rmtnrv irritation and welling o the lids v ith mi hdniriod condition of ilia ball, and in i'irix sufluiini of tear. P.y mvW, ike studiini arc fbppnsed to bn of dilfcre iv s.vcim ; they are, cerwlnlV, as l.ir us we can Jeani! at different stage Of maturity, MR. BUCHANAN AND Mil. DAVIS. We publish in this evening's Globe tho remarks or Mr. Buchanan in the Senate on Tuesday last in relation to the misrepresen tation of his speech in favor of the Inde pendent Treasury bill, contained in tho pub lished speech of Mr. Davis against that measure. It will be perceived that the charge made was, that this genilemaii had, throughout' his remarks, alleged that Mr. Uuehanan had supported the hill on thu principlo that it Would destroy the banking system, and restore an exclusive gold and silver currency, and would, as a noccssary consequence, check importations, suppress predit, and reduce tho wages of labor anil the Value of property, to one-half their prcs citt prices. Such objections have hereto fore been those chiefly urged by its enemies against tho measurejbut Mr. Davis, through out his whole speech, tbuy havo been put inln the mnui'i of Mr". Uuehanan, as argu ment In its favor. Every one ran perceive how political capital might bo made by cir culating throughout the country, that the unfounded objections made to the bill by its open enemies, were not only admitted to exist by so distinguished a friend of the measures us Mr. Uuehanan, but had been actually urged by him as arguments in its favor. So far from this being the fact, the speech of Mr. Uuehanan, and wo heard every word of it, not only did not contain any such arguments as had been attributed to him by Mr. Davis; but his arguments were all of a ronlrary character. Ho ridiculed the idea which had been formerly urged by the opponents of the bill, that "it was to devour all tho banks, and establish a pure metallic currency for all the transactions of all the people of the United Suies;" and whilst Me proved conclusively that it would be of inestimable advantage by separating tho banks from the Government, ho render ed it clear that it would not injuriously af fect the banks or the business of the coun try. How Mr. Davis could have put such arguments into his inntiih as he has done, we are utterly at a loss to conjecture. A friend of Mr. Uuehanan having called his attention to the published sposch of .Mr. Davis, tho former, brought the subject be fore the Senate on Tuesday hist) in the re marks which we now publish. Mr. Uu clianan conditionally applied the epithet " ftairitious." which Mr. Davis had lirsl used in his speech to characterize thu prop osition which he said had been advocated by Mr. Buchanan to the misrepresentations made bv Mr. Davis of Mr. Uuehanan s ar gumenl. This produced some altercation; but, alter the gentle men bad compared notes with each other, the subject seemed to have passed awny without appearing to leivoanv nun easant feehusr behind.

Thoy did not sit to day. Tho Housu has made uomc progress, during this day and yesterday, in the disposition of private bills. The chief lopio of conversation here, is the correspondence which is going on be tween Mr. Jeox, the Urltlsli iviiilislur, and the Secretary of State, relative to the North Eastern Uouud'.iry question. The corres pondence has, it seems, assumed u very se rious complexion. Mr. Fox's communi cations arc said to have been very pointed, and those of the Secretary pot less so. The correspondence wilt, no doubl, be now laid beforo congress. It is agreed, on all sides, that this matter is approaching a ciisis. Maine will nut much longer bo passive under the presence of an overbearing invader bf her soil. Congiess, too, is pledged by a vote of un exampled unanimity to maintain the rights of the United Stales in this matter. There is no dispute and no question in Oongiess as t) the facts in the case of thb rights of tho United Slate growing out of them. Mr. Buchanan's very able report set those questions at rust. We must soon have thu answer of hngland to the peremptory de mand of tho United Slates that the troops of Great Britain be removed from the Ter ritory in dispute; anil, upon that answer, if it lie unfavorahU'i some actio;) nt (Jnngrcss will be predicated. England has no longer any pretext for delaying an adjustment of thu question for the report of her engineer, who lately explored the territory and traced the hue, has been made. The whigs Mill harp on tho Jersey qilcs lion vainly hoping to raise some litile capi tal upon it. They have been wufully mis taken in the effect of their movement in this matter on the people. In New Jersey, thu decision ol the House, admitting Hie Uemo rrailc members has been received with the warmest demoustratlo'is of the popular ap probation, and that the attempt of the whigs to palm upon Cuugrcss the (.inventor s c.m didates will, unquestionably, ensure the stale for the democracy.

The house ihsn went into committee of the whole, Mr Brodhead in tho chair, and took up the resolution inviting Andrew Jackson, of Tennessee, to visit Pennsylva ni.i, as the guest of the commonwealth, du ring the approaching summer or fall, when the committee rose and teportcd (ho resolu tion to the house. Mr. Butu:r would inquire of the itwvct of this resolution, if it was contemplated that it Eboilld occasion nnv expenso to the Ci.mimiritrcaHti pnsiimrii'ilgiit ue'a question 1 pioper to be asked during tbeslc times oT embarrassment. Mr. Parkc replied, that the friends of the hero of New Orleans, intended lo defray ill expenditure lo be incurred by this reso lution, themselves, and it was not . intended to appropriate a cent from tho public trcaaui ry for the purpose. Mr. Hinchman thought, as fiX-rresulent Jackson was to bo invited hero as the guest of the commonwealth, it would follow an a matter of course; ihat some public expendi lure must be incurred, he therefore moved that the expenses to bo incurred by this resolution should not exceed two thousand dollars. Mr. Sxowduv said he had hoped that tho observations matlo by the gentlemen frorri Washington, who has tho mover or tbeso resolutions, would have satisfied every gen tlemen, that the expenses iimured. in cat rying them into effect, tvuuld not bo drawn from the Siaie Treasury. Should tho illus tr'o is 'individual named in tho reo!.uion, accept the invitation, every Pennsylvania!! who properly appreciated distingoised ser vices, and exalted patriotism, would esteem it an honor, 10 contribute in any manner to his comfort and happiness. The friends of Andrew Jackson will take pleasure in de fraying this expesne in endeavoring to hon or him, in such manner as his extraordina ry merits, his illustrious life, and distin guished services preeminently deserve. Mr. S. said, it was nut his intention to enlarge upon the life and character of this veteran sag" and warriur, His fame needa no panegyric, for tho recollection of his sej; vices to his country, warms the heart of every American No mnu has filled a "gra ter space in llie public eye.nnd when events thickened around, which Ihreatened tho o verthnnv of our civil institutions, from for eign and domestic enemies, his hand and heart never quailed or shrunk from perfor mances of the high duties which were 'as signed him hyhis country. Tho object of tho resolution's is In exhibit the estimation in which iho venerable Ex-President is held by this community, and that an opportuni ty may ho presented by which tho citizens' of Pennsylvania may present personally to him this 'high estimation, and to negatlvo the idea that Republics are ungrateful. Mr. S. said he trusted the amendment would citbur been withdrawn or nega tived, and that tho resolutions will bo adopt ed. Mr. CnAnn wi? opposed to the amend ment. If Gen,.
