Hydraulic Cement Piping.

YNHE subscribers having purchased of the Pat
i entee, ]. B. & II. r. Poague, of Fancy Hill,
Va, the right to mako, use and sell their Patent
Hydraulic Cement Piping, in the counties of
Wake, Johnston, Moore, Chatham, Randolph and
Davidson, in the State of North Carolina, would
inform the citizens of those counties that one of
the partners P. F. Denton may be found in Raj
eigh, prepared to undertake and execute jobs of
Piping. Persons wanting Pipes laid will please
address us at Saunders Stere ?. O., Rockbridge co.,
Va, until the first of May, after which time our
address will be Raleigh, n. c.
This is the most durable and cheap Piping ever
offered to the public for conveying or elevating
water for any distance, as pure and clear asst is at
the spring. 1t can be diminished OF enlarged to
suit the column Of water and the strength increas-
cd in proportion. The Pipe can be either moulded
in the ditch, just as they are intended to remain,
or moulded on a yard and when hardened trans
ported any distance, and the pieces united in the
ditch with cement mortar, and are easily attached
to the Water Ram or any kind of hydrant. These
pipes have been thoroughly tested, having beer in
use several years.
Certificates Of their utility can be had on appli
cation at this Office.
We also have tho privilege of doing jobs in tn,
adjoining counties. So every person wanting worl
done, we would like to hear from them. This pip,
is valuable for draining land, as it can be farme,
over as any other part Of the land. 1t has beel
tried and answers admirably.

prisiug Dutchman, who kept a porter house
in New York, gave the following account
at the police Office, of an assault on his

commenced the row, he said:
'He coined in, and asked me to sell him

AN ApoTHEcARY's JoKE.-The Spring
field Republican says that in North Adams,
a few days ago, a number of young men
who were bent upon having a good time,
deputed one of their number to procure
some brandy. The messenger represented
to the apothecary that it was wanted fol
bathing purposes, and after some persua
sion procured the desired article. The
apothecary, however, suspecting something
wrong, mixed a little anthony with the
liquor before it left his hands. The con
sequence was, that those who drank the Ii
quor soon began to complain of illness, ant
finally imagined themselves poisoned. On,
fastened home to die in the bosom of hi
family, another made his will, and a thirc
commenced repeating a prayer. They all
however, recovered eventually, and prose
cuted the apothecary for a violation of tn
liquor law.

Come gentle Spring, with signs, and smiles, and

The sweet libation to old winters grave
Come breathe thy fragrant breath upon my brow,
And calm my mind, until its widest thoughts
Be softened Down TO quiet musing. Oft
Has sorrows mantle DER my heart been thrown
With darkest folds, and heavily. Since thou
Hast made thy smiling visit to our land,
My fondest hopes have gone to nothingness,
And images most loved have passed from earth
when Autumn sad began to change the year,
And Summers livery began to fade
Into the dreamy future, oft my thoughts
Would stray, to learn Of truth my fate
That / must pass away.
When Winter drcar
Had shroudod in q pail, hoary and cold,
The lovely corpse Of smiling Summer
A feeling sad eamo DER my Utmost soul,
To think that thus the brightest forms of earth
Must fade before tho whitening breath of Time;
For when shall Spring the mouldcring urn revive
What morn dispel the graves long night?
Sweet Spring,
At thy return the spirit sad revives,
And rises on the wings of thankfulness,
TO pay its tribute to the Seasons God. l..
