It is truly gratifying, says the Dahlonega Watchman ofthcTlh instant, in a year of scarcity to see a flattering prospect of an abundant crop. From every source of information both by our exchanges and otherwise, we anticipate an unusually good crop of wheat. The Millcdtrcville Recorder of the 28th ult. says of the crops: ? " Wo have had an oppcrtuniry recently of looking at the crops in nearly a dozen counties, and we have heard from a great m-my more, and all seems cheering. The grain crops are especially line, and promise a rich harvest." The bay State Democrat tells this anecdote of a Boston Physician of olden times. When a young man, he occupied a chamber separate Irom that of a married couple by a thin partition. One cold night he heard the rough voice of the husband?"Take avvav your hoofs!'' tri wViioli tV?r? nrifo vonlinri - ? .? in a querulous tone, " Ah ! you did not speak so when we were first married?and then you used to say to me, " take away your little hoofsy Tootsy tootsys !"

He acceded, to their request, and thedinner will take place, it is said, early next week. Removal of Foreign Bodies from the eye.?A German writer has recently proposed that when a foreign body, such as a particle of straw, dust, &c., pets between the eyelids and the globe of the eye, but without being infracted, a bolution of gum arabic, dropped into f v?n ~ -1 A 1 iiiw cjt, uiajf MC5 ttU VillHil^OOUS|J' employed for its extraction, as the solution does not produce any disageeable sensation. Pauper Emigrants.?G. II. Goundie, U. S. Consul in Switzerland, has addressed a letter from B;tsle to the city authorities ofN. York, in which he states that the evil of sending paupers and criminals to this country is on the increase. To counteract this shameful practice, Mr. Goundie translated, and causea to ne published extensively in Switzerland and Germany, the Act of our Legislature, which requires that 44 owners, captains and agents, give a guarantee that such emigrants as they may land at New York, shall not tall a charge to the City or State, within two years after their arrival." t) True Gallantry.?Among a number of .excel lent toasts given ?1 V.at "a late festival in a Western City, we find the following. h-' .v' The Ladies:?We admire them .; ~jOf tfceir beauty, respect thbM jbedaiise, of their virtues, |^g^|dor^ .tiiem because of their jintel^^^^because we Potato Hot?A Curious Fact.? hi the liittor part of the summer of is | I, a farmer of the township of Lincoln, Addison count.v.

Pat's Readiness.?Pat called on a lady and gentleman, in whose employ he was engaged, for the purpose of getting some tea and tobacco. " 1 had a drame, yer holier, last night," said he to the gentleman. " What is it, Pat !"

The v:?lue and efficacy of pencrr's Vego. table Pills have long beer, known and appreciated in a great variety of diseases,and as the best and most important of Family Mediciues. Dr pencer having been actuated by a desire to benefit his fellow beings, lias also prepared his Vegetable Tonic and Restorative Bitters, which he now otFers to the public, as the result of an ex-, tensive practice, and thorough investigation of the laws which govern the hunmn system. They are purely Vegetable, and may be taken with pertect safety by all ages and sexes in youthful, adult and declining life. The design of pencer's Vegetable Pills and Vegetable Tonic Restorative Bitters, is to create a flow oI pure healthv bile, in stead of the stale and acid kind. The obiect of the Pills is to stimulate all the vital organs of the system into c.ction, and thereby cleanse the stomach and bowels of all the morbific and offensive matter with which the system is clogged, and which promotes disease. The Bitters are to strengthen and*restore the stomach and vital organs, to their proper tone and vigor. When this is accomplished, good health must bu the result. The complaints that come most directly under iheir influence, and for which they are so partit ularly designed, are as follows: Bilious Fever, Fever and Ague, Dyspepsia, Liver Complaints, iek head ache, Enlargement oftho pl?j en, Jaundice,Piles Cliolic, Bowel and summer complaints. Impurities ol the blood, Female Obstruct tion, Heartburn, Incipient Diarroeh, Habitual Costiveness, Determination of blood to the head, Loss of Appetite, Blotched or allow Complexion and in all cases of Torpor of the bowels, where a cathartic or apperient medicine is needed. As many of the above enumerated diseases come on imperceptibly, and become far advanced j in their progress before it is suspected that I they exist, in the system, no one should expect in such cases, to be at once relieved entirely, but should continue the use of the Medicine for a considerable length of time. Full directions accompany the medicines for their use,in all those complaints for which they are recommended. Price 25 cents per box for the Pills, and $1 per bottle for the Bitters. Reader ! do not fail to notice the following certificate from Mr James Lindsy, of Jefferson, Jackson co., Geo. To Dr. p (nccr? March 18, 1846. Denrir: I have made great use of your Vegetable Pills in my family for the last thiee years, and I consider them the best medicine in use. I have made considerable use of Peters' Vegetable Pills, and many others, but I am convinced that vonrs are superior to any of them. For 7 r? lr Tl.tnJ A ?i? ? ? - v n jlauuu lucjf uru Oil PACCIII'Ill modicino; for Bowel Complaint I think them the host medicine 1 ever used, ome of my neighbors are ivlso using your Pills with the most decided benefit. In fine, I condidly confess that I have derived mop* real benefit from thenj than from any other medicine 1 have ever used; and 1 think that every family should always keep a supply of them on hand.
