The NORTH Carolina Storm. The Fay
ettevile Observer gives the following addi-
tional particulars of this storm:
On Saturday last. about noon, the most
frightful storm visited this place and the
surrounding country, that we have ever
witnessed. We have heard of such things
but we have met with no one who ever saw
them before ...-
A black cloud which came up from the
West, suddenly discharged its contents,
of wind. rain and hail, in perfect deluge.
The hail came down at first in small bodies
and rapidly increased in size, until il fell in
masses almost as large as mans fist.
The largest one we saw measured was
1-2 inches in circumference, but we
heard of one which was picked up nearly
twice as large. 1t continued for about ten
minutes, in which time it destroyed the
greater part ofthe growing crops and gar
dens within its range, pelted down nearly
all the fruit, and broke perhaps 10000 to
10000 panes of glass in this town alone.
Pigeons flying in the air were knocked
down dead, poultry were killed, horses STAN
ding in the streets were frightened, and gal
loped off in all directions, and indeed such
a scene of alarm we have never witnessed.
1t extended over space about miles
wide by perhaps 80 in legth, in all of
which the ground is covered with fallen veg
citation, or the leaves and branches of trees
We have heard of no person being hurt

GROWTH OF POI AToEs. A correspon-
dent Of the Inverness Courier mentions a
mode of growing pta:oes which may be
useful in the saving Of seed in seasons of
scarcity, and also in furnishing supply a
month earlier than the usual period. The
experiment described consisted in planting
the shoots thrown ont from potatoes kept
in the cellar, on the Goth of May, about
month later than thp usual period for sow.
ing. The were planted in a garden and
raised on the 18th Of September, and the
result was highly satisfactory. At one
stalk there were nine potatoes the sze of
eggs; at another two large ones. one of
them weighing lb2 OF. The cultivator
is of opinion, that had the shoots been
planted month sooner there would have
been an excellent and early crop. The
shoots should be about ten or twelve inch
es in length and dibbIed into prepared
ground, and all covered except the two
small leaves at the top. None of the po-
toes should be planted along with the
shoot but they are the better to have d
good many fibres thrown out from the ROOT
end of the shoot. English paper.

tciek. The most striking and prevailing
defect IN the manners of Americans is,
! believe, a want of cuorlesy. This has
propably arisen from the general equality
Of rights, condition, and education. And
IL arises IN part from that maupaise honte,
or shyness, Characteristic OF our English
ancestors. from whom we ihihit it. A lit
tie reflection aud moral cultivation would
soon remedy this defect. What do mean
by courtesy, and how is the want OF il
shown, do YOU ask A few winters since
a well-bred young foreigner came 10 the
interior, and took lodgings al village inn,
for the purpose Of learning the English
language. To facilitate its acquaintance,
he generally preferred remaining in the
receiving room of the tavern, where trav-
elers were passing in and out. His wri-
tlng-table was placed before the fire.
When the women come shiverng in from
a long drive in the stage-coach, he moved
his table 10 the coolest corner of the room.
mending the fire, drew chairs near it, and
il they brought in foot stoves or blocks, he
found the best place 10 heat them. He
then returned 10 his own uncomfortable
seat, and pursued his writing or reading.
The women profled by his civiities,
without appearing TO notice them. Du-
ring the whole winter he never received
one word of neutrality-suspicious. one

Dyspepsia, or Indigestion, Ec
fcctudlly Cured.

Mr.. VIM. Tucker having lately been restored 10
sound state OF health, through the efficacy OF DIR.
Hunts's Botanic Pills, thinks il an indispensable
duty to state certain facts relative to the disease
under which he had so long suffered. The SYM
toms were "a painful obstruction, with a constant
rejection of food, headache, palpitalion of the
heart, owness of spirits, troublesome dry cough,
dizziness, ughtness at the chest and difficulty OF
breathing, almost constant pain in the side loins,
and shoulders, accompanied with much languor &
debility. These Affections, together with an I'M
usual degree of tlatulence, brought such state
OF extreme weakness, as TO prevent him from at
tending to his business, and his health appeared
lost beyond recovery. His friends and relatives
became alarmed at the melancholy prospect, and
strongly recommended Hunts Botanic PlIls-they
were administered, and in few days produced
astonishing relief, and finally realized perfect re-
storation TO sound health
