The ScIEECE OF CooKERY.-A British pc
riodical, reviewing recent publication by
DIR. Doran, on Table Traits" asserts that
the science of cookery among Englishmen
is in the lowest possible state. Their cooks,
declares the writer, are mere scullions,-
without either genius or education-equal to
little more than the dressing of joint of
meat, and that they do badly. Consider"
he exclaims, with enthusiasm, 1.-the French
mans triumphs over the natural difficulties
of veal" In this connection he tells the
following good one, as illustrating the capa-
cities of Frenchman's stomach, and exhib
iting the powers of the Frenchmen's cuisine:
1t is related that a French officer undertook for
a wager to produce q soldier in his company who
would eat q calf ofa certain age. The bet was &C.
cepted. The soldier, without any reuctancs, I'M
dertook to do his best, and the dag and h. ur were

GREAT FIRE-STaTEsvILLE IN RUINs.-We
are sorry to learn that a very extensive ana
s~truetive fire has occurred in Statesville. it orl-
ginated in an old house between Mr.. Bells
Tavern andthe residence of the late DR.. Moore,
and from thence communicated with Mr.. Bells
Tavern, which was consumed. tegether with
the whole square, including the corner store
occupied by Mr.. Grant. The stables were not
burned. Mr.. Belllost all his furniture and pa
pers. From thence the fire communicated TO
the Court House aud Mr.. Stocktonfs store,
both of which were entirely IeslIoyed. 1t
then swept down the came side OF the street,
burning the brick store and all the other build
ings on Mr.. Simonton's lot, occupied, we be-
leive, by Messrs. Rosebro', Carlton d Alex
ander; nor were its ravages stayed untll ltreach-
ed the residence Of Mr.. Reynolds, which, we
understand, WAS saved. The merchants saved
a good many oftheir dry goods. The Records
of the County were also saved.
Some ofthe losers were insured in small sums
TIE loss, we suppose, will fall most heavily
upon Mr.. Bell, the oblieing and enterprlsing
proprietor of tie Village Hotel. who had gone
to considerable expense to repair and tit it up
and who also owned the whole square inclu'
ding Mr.. Grants store and other buildings

Va DISEASES OF THE LIVER.-When
the celebrated DIR. Rush declared that drunkenness
was a disease, he enunciated a truth which the ex-
perience and observation of medical men is every
day confirming. The many apparently insane ex-
eesses of those who indulge in the use Of spirituous
liquors, may be thus accounted for. The true canse
of conduct, which is taken for infatuation, is very
frequently a diseased state of the Liver. No or
gan in the human system, when deranged, produ-
ces a more frightful catalogue of diseases. And
if, instead of applying remedies to the manifesto
tions of disease, as is too often the case, physicians
would prescribe with a view to the original cause,
fewer deaths would result from diseases induced by
a deranged state of the Liver. Thrse-fourths of
the diseases enumerated under the head Of Con-
sumption, have their seat in a diseased Liver. (See
DR.. Gums great works.
I. S. The above valuable medicine, also DR.. NJ
Lanes celebrated Vermifuge. can now be had at
all respectable Drug Stores in this city. Va Pur-
chasers will please be careful to ask for, and take
none but DR.. MLane's Liver Pills. All others
in comparison, are worthless. IS

FOX THE SPIRIT OF II AGE.
Mr.. EDITOR lit is a generally conceded
opinion, that man does not properly appre-
ciate q blessing, once enjoyed, until he is de-
prlved OF 1T. Many sources of true enjoy
ment there are, strewed along the pathway
OF lite, which do not even so much as elicit a
passing thought with reference to their real
value; but when we are once deprived of
them, what a Vacancy is left in our catalogue
OF pleasuresl The invalid alone can place
the proper estimate upon the comforts and
e~njoyments Of health. Freedom from pain
Is looked upon as a matter of course, and a
small one at that-nntil a raging toothache
forces us to the imaginary conclusion that,
without pain we cOuid bear without a MUIR
muir all the ills to which flesh is heir. And
thus we might 20 on to enumerate blessing
after blessing and the manner in which it is
regarded, and it would only seem to give adj
ditionai strength to the assertion already
made-that, no matter how much or how
little value we may place upon the good
things OF lie, we do not properly appreciate
them until we are deprived of them. Never
has the thought struck me more forcibly than

a good, warm-hearted, whole-souled friend
whose weekly visits for years christmas hol

convinced me that without a remedy we
must soon part forever for the hectic flush
which mantled his cheek warned me of ar
approaching dissolution. Two weeks havc
passed, and he returns not. Had the RENE
dy been in a proper form for administration
Mr.. Editor, those visits should never hav,
ceased better though as it s. / nov know
what estimate TO place upon your nobl
