Gleanings from our Correspondence.

Afriend writing from Yadkin county, says:
A widow lady in my neighborhood had a
Cooper in her employ. A neighbor wanted
him to make some whiskey barrels; the Ia
dy told him she needed money, but she would
not get it by having barrels made for him
and if the Cooper made them, she would dis
charge him on the spet! Another lady had
a quilting'-some rowdies came in and had
liquor-members of the church drank with
them-but as soon as the lady found outthey
had liquor, she hunted up their jug and
poured its contents on the ground! Three
loud and long cheers for the ladies of Yad-
kin, say l.

MEssRs. EDITORS "A a regular session of Haw
Creek Division, No. 208, Sons of Temperance, of
Alamance County, the following preamble and resO-
buttons were a3cPtc3.
WHEREAS, The practice of candidates treating
and encouraging the drinking and vending of in
toxicating liquors, is attended with dangerous and
demoralizing consequences upon the community,
and whereas, we believe the exigencies of the times
demand that all Temperance men, patriots and
philanthropists should boldly, publicly, privately,
and fearlessly proclaim their sentiments and wishes
upon this great question, Therefore,
Resolved, That we earnestly solicit the candidates
of the two political parties, who may be before the
people for seats in the next General Assembly, to
refrain from the practice of /" treating" to secure
the sufrages of the citizens.
Resolved, That while we have no design to dis
band or intercept the progress or prosperity of either
of the two political parties in vogue, yet we cannot
conscientiOusly cast our votes for any candidate,
who knowingly, either directly or indirectly, does
violence to the sentiment in the above resolutions.
Resolved, That while being a Son of Temperance,
or not being one, shall have no influence, whatever,
upon our votes, that we will not support any candi-
date, nor influence others so to do, to represent
us in the Senate or House of Commons, unless we
have good reasons to believe he is sound on the
Temperance question, and in favor of the enact
ment of a Prehibitory Liquor Law in this State,
whenever q majority of the voters demand it.

MORNING, in Johnston county, his daughter STELLA,
aged five years. She was a most lovely and inter
esting child. There is an "added voice" to the
song of angels in " the better land" She died of
infammatory Group, which had been fatal to her
little brother, a few days before. When such chill
dren die, we dare offer no earthly consolation to the
bereaved parents. They must look only to Heaven,
and to him who assures them that " of such is the
kingdom of Heaven" COM.

Cane Creek Factory Division, Sons Of Temperance,
No. 166, located in Alamance County
WHEREAS, We knoi0 thatthe practice of treating
to intoxicating liquors to secure votes, visits count
less evils upon society, and being Disguised at the
patriotism that blows its blast at the tail of whiskey
carts, over tin cups, green glasses and blue-bottle-
fy-be-painted whiskey kegs and jugs, for these
reasons 49,
Resolved, That we hate, LoATHE and abhor the
~ltttleness of any candidate who feels that his quail

tance of whiskey-carts and their contemplate spirits
to elevate him to high places.
Resolved, That we respectfully request the two
political parties, in bringing out their candidates, to
select such men as require no such assistance.
Resolved, That we will not support any man,
Wing or Democrat, whom we know to pander to the
lowest class of society-the same that virtually adj
yertise themselves to be bought by the half-pint-
for his support.
Resolved, That no man need expect our support,
nor that of a large majority Of our neighbors, who
resorts to such measures.
Resolved, That we mean just what we say, and
nothing else!

CONSUMPTION is, without doubt, the most
fearfully fatal of all diseases, Except epidemies,)
annually carrying thousands to untimely graves
How often could the ravages of this arch destroyer
be prevented, if timely remedies were used in allay-
ing the ~ammatio produced by an ordinary cold.
For Coughs, Colds, Sore Threats, and all similar
diseases, STABLER'S AN0DYNE CHERRY EX-
PECTORANT has no equal. It is not
ded as infdUiJle, but medical men and others, who
have used and administered it, bear testimony to
its extraordinary efficacy. 1t is known to be a
{ good medicine and as such is offered to the pub
lie; as also STABLER'S DIARRHG CORDIAL,
for diseases of the bowels. Prices for each only
so cents, or six bottles for 50 so.
For sale by P. F. PESCUD, Raleigh and in ev-
cry town and village in the State. 27-2t
Medlcaltestimony cannot be controverted.
re- One of the most startling cases is narrated
of DR.. McLane's Vermifuge by DIR. John Butler, of
Lowell, Trumbull Co., Ohio. The case was that of
a young lady who had been very sick for eight
gears, and had consulted a umbe of physicians,
who had treated it as one of Prolapsus Uteri. DIR.
Butler was then called in, and for a time believed
with his predecessors that it was a case of Prolapsus.
lie was, however, soon forced to the conclusion that
his patient was suffering from worms, and after
much persuasion, prevailed upon her to take two
doses of DR.. MLane's Vermifuge. This medicine
had the effect of removing from her a countless
number of the largest size. After she passed them,
her health Immediately returned. She has since
married, and continues to enjoy excellent health.
rs Purchasers will be careful to ask for DR..
MLANE's CELEBRATED VERMIFUGE, and take none
else. All other Vermifuges, in comparison, are
worthless. DR.. MLane's genuine Vermifuge, also
his Celebrated Liver Pills, can now be had at all the
respectable Drug Stores. 80
A PILE.-Amongst the numerous stores be-
fore whose doors rise piles of boxes, bales, &C.,
filled with goods, wares and merchandise for
the Spring trade, the Boot and Shoe estab-
lishment of Messrs. Drummond & Wyche is
worthy to be noticed. Their supply and
assortment is as ample and varied as demand
and taste can require, and they merit a large
share of the public p~atronage.-Ret. Int.
