North Carolina.
B. F. s..

The Raleigh Sentinel says the m easures
OF popular relief passed by the North
Carolina Legislature have proved ineflec.
tua or inadequate, and tina, the members
met in conference on Friday last, to devise
some additional expedieDt. The Sentinel
adds:
"From all parts Of the State, we learn
that, under the stay law of the onven,ion,
creditors are putting their claims in suit.
In some Counties, there are from 500 10
1000 wri,s returnabie 70 the next terms.
Wherever there is the remotest pro,pect
O. making good debt, creditors are suing
The consequence is, general uneasiness
and alarm prevails among the debtor
class" ... ......
The Wilmington Dispatch says:
A few nights ago, our informant goes
on to state, the sheriff Of Pitt County was
riding near the town Of Greenville, having
10 his possession a number Of papers re
surnabe to the spring term Of the court,
when he was seized by mob of persons
IN disguise, and in strong force, and strip
ped OF all documents Of the nature describ
ed. The party thea repaired to the clerks
office, in Greenyille. and destroyed all
similar papers found there, af:er which
they quietly dispersed. ... .r.
They were so disguised as to preclude
any possibility Of detection, and, as vet, no
clue has been found to imp!ica,s any Of
the offenders.
We regret to chronicle such lawlessness
but think this is but the natural result Of
the ruin which has been wrough, by the
war; and are~pprehensiye that such dis
graceful proceedings will spread in other
quarters.

A YOUNG LADY

Returning to her country home, after sojourn

tic, flushed face, she had q soft ruby complexion
of almost marble smoothness, and instead of
twenty three she really appeared but eighteen
Upon inquiry as to the cause of great a change,
she plainly told them that she used the CHI.
CASSIAN BALM, and considered it an inyal-
liable acquisition to any ladys toilet. By its use
any lady or gentleman can improve their personal
appearance an hundred fold. 1t is simple in its
combination, as nature herself is simple, yet un-
surpassed in its efficacy in drawing impurities
from, also healing, cleansing and identifying the
skin and complexion. By its direct action on
the cuticle it draws from it all its impurities,
kindly healing the same, and leaving the surface

An EFFRcTUAL WORK MEDIcISE.-BROWN'S
VERMIFUGE C0MFITS, Or Worm Loienges.
Much sickness, undoubtedly, with children and
adults, attributed to other causes, is occasioned
by worms. The "Vsrmifuge Comfts," al
though efectual in destroying worms, can DO
no possible injury to the most delicate child.
This valuable combination has been success
fully used by physicians, and found to be safe
and sure in Graduating worms, so hurtful 10
children.
Children having Worms require immediate at
tention, neglect of the trouble often pro-
longed sickness.
Symptoms of Worms in children are often over
looked. Worms in the stomach and bowels cause
irritation, which can be removed only by the use
of a sure remedy. The combination of ingredi-
ents used in making Browns "Vermifuge Com
FITS" is such as to give the best possible effect with
safety,

LOVE IN A COTTAGE.
BY n. P. WILLIS.

They may talk of life in cottage,
And bowers of trellised vine,
Of Nature bewitchingly simple,
And nilkmaids half divine.
They may talk of the pleasures of sleeping
In the shade of q spreading tres,
And walk in the fields at morning
By the side Of 9 footssep free.
But give me sly Irritation
By the light of chandelier,
With music to play in the pauses,
And nobody very near;
Or a seat on q silken sofa;
With glass of pure old wine,
And mamma too blind to discover
The small white hand in mine.
Your love in cottage gets hungry,
Your vine is nest for fies,
Your milkmaid shocks the grsces,
And simplicity talks of pies.
You lie down to your shady slumber,
And wake with q bug in your ear;
And your damsel that walks in the morning
Is shod like mountaineer.
True love is at home on q carpet,
And nightly likes his ease,
And true love has an eye for dinner,
And starves beneath shady trees.
His wing is the fan of lady,
His foot's an invisible thing,
And his arrow is tipped with jewel,
And shot from silver string.

4 GRAND EPOCH IN MEDICINE.

DR.. Maggiel is the founder of q new medical
system. The quantitarians whose vast internal
doses enfeeble the stomach',and paralyze the bow
els and with whose external remedies the ulserat-
ed and eruptive surfaces of the skin are deluged
in vain must give place to the man who restores
his health and appetite with from one to three
harmless pills, and cures the most virulent and
scrofulous disorders with from one to three bexss
of his matchless salve.
DIR. MaggieYs Pills and Salve have ushered In
a new medical era. No more nauseating avalan-
ches of drastic drugs need be poured down sick
peoples throats. One of MaggiePs Pills rectifes
the disordered condition Of the stomach and liver,
cleanses the head and restores the nerves in q
space of time short enough to be almost classed
as marvellous. -
In fact Maggiers Bilious, Dyspeptic and Diarr-
hea Pills cure where all others fail. While for
Burns Scalds Chilblsins, Cuts, and all abrassions
Of the skin, Maggiel's Salve is infallible.
