Washington Irving relates "a beautiful
instance of the quick and generous impulses
to which the French are prone, in the case of
a cavalier, in the hottest of the actions at
Waterloo, charging furiously upon a British
officer, but perceiving in the moment of assault
that his adversary had lost his sword arm,
dropped the point of his sabre, and courteous
ly rode on. Peace be with that generous war
rior, whatever were his fate! If he went down
in the storm Of battle, with the laundering
fortunes of his chieftain, may the turf of Wa
terloo grow green above his graye-and happi-
er far would be the fate of such spirit, to sit
amidst the tempest, unconscious of defeat,
than to urvive, and mourn over the blighted
laurels of his country.''

DIR. M'Lane's Vermifuge.

Va During a practice ofmoret than twenty years,
DIR. McLane had attended ~innumerable patients
afflicted with every form of worm disease, and was
induced 70 apply all the energies of his mind 10 the
discovery of a ~yermifuge, or worm destroyer, Ger
tain in its effects; the result of his labors is the
American Worm Specific, now before the public
which is perfectly safe, and may be given alike TO
children of the most tender age, or to the aged a.
dult it purges mildly and subdues fever, and de-
stroys worms with invariable success. 1t is easy OF
administration, and as it does not contain mercury
in any form whatever, ne restrictions are necessary
with regard to drinking cold water, nor is 1t capa'
BILE of doing the least injury to the tenderest IN.
FAINT. An incredible number of worms have been
expelled by this great vermifuge.

Entire satisfaction seems to be given to all who
make use of Stabler's Anodyne Cherry Expeeto-
rant and Diarrhea Cordial. At least such is the
assertion made by some thirty odd of the most re-
spectacle merchants of Maryland, Virginia and
North Carolina, who state that they have never
known any remedies to be so efficient as these in the
diseases for which they are prescribed. This, al
though very gratifying, is not singular, when it is
emembere that the recipes from which these
medicines are compounded are in strict accordance
with medical science, their component parts care
fully selected from pure and unadulterated drugs,
and approved by hundreds of experienced physi-
clans. For coughs, colds, and diseases of the lungs
and throat, the Anodyne Cherry Expcctorant is
believed to be unequalled, while the Diarrhea Cor
dial is the best remedy known for diseases of the
bowels. See descriptive pamphlets, to be had
gratis of the agents. Price for each, only so cents
per bottle, or six bottles for 50 so. 1S-2t

NASH Co, December, 1854.


Mr.. Eator-The evils of the liquor traffic
have lately been shown in rather an aggra-
vatod form in this county. On Saturday,
the 23d instant, n company assembled at a
groggcry for the purpose OF witnessing a
horse race, foot race and chicken fight. The
liquor seller, who | believe does not sell, or at
least Processes not to sell in less quantities
than u quart, was patroniZed as usual on
such occasions, and late in the evening Mr..
John Strickland, while in a state of intoxica-
ton, shot Mr.. John NJ. Terrell with q revolv-
or. They had had some difficulty some time
ago, which it was thought had been settled.

renee. Terrell seldom if ever became intcx-
icated, but Strickland, as / understand, has
drank very hard for n year or two, which no
doubt had blunted his moral feelings and
thus fitted him for the commission ofthis foul
deed. Had there been no liquor at the place,
both of them would no doubt have been well
and with their now beroaved families. The
liquor traffic has no doubt caused the loss OF
these two useful citizens of our county.
