PINE HILL, March 4, 1854.
DEAR SIR: have been a subject of Dyspepsia in
ia worst form for the last FIVE years. Such my
condition for twelve months that the physicians and
all who saw me said must die. While in this con-
diton, was carried TO the watering places in Vir-
Qinia, Tennessee, and North Carolina, but was not
benefited by any water TO which was taken. While
on my way home, stopped week at Rutherfordton,
small village in North Carolina, TO try the effect OF
some Chslybeate water in that place. About the last
OF the week went into drug store to get some med
cine for my child and myself There were several
Of the village physicians in the store and one of them
seemed 10 take some interest In my case, and after
asking me some questions, said he had been dys-
peptc and had been greatly benefited by the use Of
e aoofands German Bitters," prepared by ysu, and
he insisted that / would try the Bitters. He also
called the next day at my ROOM and insisted much
that 1 would try them that asked him to get me
one bottle He did it, and commenced taking it as
directed and was more benefited by IL than all the
water and medicine had ever taken.
After reaching home, one Of my neghbors came TO
me for prescription and medicine, (he dyspeptic)
and gave him nearly ali the Bitters had left which
effected much good in his He has often called
ON me for more Of tho kind of medicine, saying
he was more benefited by IT than any other he had
taken but have not been able to get any more for
him or myself since. viii you, therefore please ship
me dozen or more soon az possible.
Respectfully, yours, w. SMITH.

sinks into the earth and is lost to view. 1t does
not communicate with any other stream the

The four legs are placed precisely as the legs
of the alligator and very much resemble them in

DEMOCRATIC OPINION OF FILLMORE month
or two before Mr.. Fillmore retired from the Pres.
ijentisl Chair. the distinguished Washington
Democratic correspondent: of the Baltimore Sun,
whose letters under the signature of ~" gain
ed for him q responsible and lucrative office un
der Pieree's administration, wrote in the follow
ing complimentary terms of the retiring Presi,
dent and his administration
MIR. Fillmore will retire to private life with
the respect and good wishes Of the country.
He has, as an executive officer, done his duty at
period when but for his energy and fidelity to
Constitution the harmony which now prevails be
tween different sections of the Union might have
been seriously interrupted. He restored peace
and quiet, and therefore laid the foundation for II
further advancement of all commercial. manufnc-
turing and agricultural pursuits. One may seri-
ously differ from Mr., + ihose in regard to some
measures Of Internal or external policy; bu,
common sense and candor compe|s one to admit
that his Administration has been eminently pros
porous, and many of his measures signalized by
great moderation and wisdom. IT'S not for mort
1sls to command success; let US determine to de-
serve il. '''

GAMBLING IN NORTH CARoLNA.-The Fay
ettevills Observer on reviewing the Comptrol
ler's Report for the year ending lst November
iS55,says:
There is one item which has surprised us not
little. viz:-the tax on Playing Cards. Taking
the amount paid an indication we should con
clude that there is but little of that kind of gam
bling amusement done in this State. The
Tux is 25 cents on every pack Of cards sold in the
State. The returns show mot very truly we
lear) that only 1873 packs have been sold in
the whole State within the year yielding $364
80 of tax. OF this sum Warren county has the
honor of paying $Sl 25, more than a fifth of the
whole amount Either the dealers in Warren
more careful to return the amount Of their
sales, or the people very fond of whist, aud
perhaps of poker. Twenty nine counties did not
pay cent for tax Playing Cards, and We
must presume therefore-a violent presumption
admit-that no cards were sold in those coun
ties.
