The Fsa5os1y Corn.-Much as has been
said of tie ftraordinary yield of this new
kind Of C6sn. we were not prepared (says the
Columbia r. 'quirer) for believing the half
that has bseh realized. Mr.. Peabody lone of
the editorsof the Soil ofhe South showed
US yesterday two stalks, on one of which
were seUen perfect ears, and on the other five.
The corn il also much heavier than our or
binary kind weighing, as Mr.. P. assures
us, 70 pound to the bushel. He has Just
gathered fren1 two acres of common pineland,
one hundred md eighty bushels of superior
corn, and il j ; believed that his entire field
of forty acres will average at least go bushels
to the acres. The two acres referred to.had
been manufei with only one sack (l48 lbs.)
guano to the acre. We are glad to learn
that Mr.. Pea body will soon have this prolific
corn in marhet

non Hotel i Cape May was entirely
destroyed by IRE on Friday night last.
The proprietor, MI. Cain, and his en-
tire family, except a son, were burned

ONE of the best definitions of an Irishman's
ideas of America that we ever saw, is con-
tanned in the following extract from the
Fairy Circle" a tale in John Broughman's
Irish Echoes:
Where did 'baccy come from, Corney ?''
inquired Mary.
"Why, from 'Meriky, where else ?" he
replied, "that sent us the first pitaty. Long
life to it, for both, say L"
What sort of a place is that, I wonder"
"Meriky, is it They tell me it's mighty
sizable, Moll, darlint. I'm told that you
might roll England through it. an it would
hardly make a dint in the ground there's
fresh water oceans inside of it that might
dround Ireland in, and save Father Mat
thew a wonderful sight of trouble; an as
for Scotland, you might stick it in a corner
Of one of their forests an you never be able
to find it out, except may be, it might be
by the smell of whiskey. IF I had only
thrile of money, I'd go an seek my fortin'
there.

ESr 1t is with no small feeling Of pleas
ure, that We copy from the editorial cores
pondence Of the Fayetteville Observer, the
announcement Of the fact that the first vol
ume Of DIR. Hawks History OF NORTH CAR
oLrNA is now in press and will shortly be is
sued. We refer to the extract Cor interest
ing particulars on this head.
The great want Of q good history Of the
State, says the Wilmington Herald, such as
we are assured this win be, has been too long
felt to render Necessary, arguments to induce
the people Of North Carolina to sustain this
work by a liberal patronage. The underta.
king Of DR.. Hawks has been very laborious,
and he has spared neither timo nor expense
in gathering and preparing the materials fol
n standard book on the subject and if the
people do not generously sustain him in biz
labor Of love, they will bring n deserved re
proach upon themselves and the good ole
commonwealth he thus seeks to honor.

PEOPLE OF AMERICA Thousand Of you have
suffered long years with liver complaints, pain in
the side and loins, biliousness, headache, irititabil-
ity, and other diseases that all the remedies you
have tried failed to cure, and your Physicians pro
nounced incurable. You need ~suferno longer.
DR.. Sanford's MUigorator will make you well
again. Great cures are daily reported as having
been performed by the use ofthis remedy, and none
who use it are disappointed in its effects. A distin-
guished Physician says in his practice he never
found anything so ~effectual in relieving the above
named diseases as the Inyieorator. st

that the price Of Peruvian Guano has greatly

the rise in price will reduce the orders con-

Va One of the most startling cases is nara
ted of DIR. M'Lane's Vermifuge by DR.. John But
Ter, of Lowell, Trumbull Co. Ohio. The case was
that of a young lady who had been very sick for
eight years, and had consulted a number of physi-
clans, who had treated it as one of Prolapsus
Uteri. DR.. Butler was then called in, and Ser a
time believed with his predecessors that it was a
case of prolapsus. He was, however, soon forced
to the conclusion that his patient was suffering frona
worms, and after much persuasion, prevailed upon
her to take two doses of DR.. M'Lane'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 is since married, and continues to enjoy excel
lent health.
rs Purchasers will be careful to ask for DIR.
M'Lane's Celebrated Vermifuge, manufactured by

SANFORD'S I~NVIGORATOR.
For all purposes Of a stimulating Liv-
er Medicine.


TFHERE has long existed a demand for such a
remedy that could be relied on as safe and eff
fectual. This remedy has been prepared to meet
that demand an extensive trial of its virtues has
shown how universally it has accomplished the
purpose designed. Among the complaints which
have been speedily cured by the use of the Invi-
eorator we mention Liver Com plaint, which is the
cause of many other diseases-ameng which are,
BiIliousness, Headache, Pain in the Side and Loins,
Bilious Fever, and Ague, J~aundice, Indigestion,
Ian guor and loss Of Appetite, Listlessness and Ir-
ritability-all of which are caused by a diseased
action Of the Liver. The Inyigorator is compound
ed with particular reference TO the Liver, and when
that disease is removed all the rest are cured, as
the cause of then is taken away. A few doses Of
the Invigorator rarely ever fail to stimulate the
proper action, and by its continued use to remove
the disease. It has been taken with great success
in cases ofCholic, Dysintery, Humors, s~erofula, u
GERS, de-, and for these it has been found a very
eGicacious remedy. An occasional dose stimu.
lates the stomach to a healthy action and restores
the appetite and vigor. One dose viii relieve the
oppressive uneasiness e experienced by eating q hear
ty dinner, as it excites the digestive organs 10 Wig
orous action. For q debilitated state Of the sys
TEN the Inyigorator has no equal which experience
proves, as it restores the system and removes tn
~yellowness from the skin which is the result of
diseased Liver.
Prepared and sold by Sanford & Co., 1SS From
St, New York. Price 81 90 per bottle, ~containin
forty doses. Also sold by Williams 4 Haywoot
