Raleigh Register.
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 !"
A large number of the citizens
of Philadelphia have tendered the
ITou. Daniel Webster a public
dinner as a mark o! their respect
lor him. Mr. W, passed through
Philadelphia on Friday, with his
family, en route for Boston ; and
during a temporary rest there, a
pnmmitfpo !inroit../l

made known their desires. 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

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

City, we find the following.

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. Vi?r

was quite behind all his
neighbors in cutting his grass in
his meadows. At night sonic
waggish hoys went into one of his
meadows and cut down all the
grass in it. They also went into
his })o!:i!o patch and cut a low
swaths through it. When the
lime r ime for digging, his potatoes
were principally rotten except
where the hoys had mowed oll the
tops. Those were found to be
sound nnd good.
This experiment would seem to
show, that the rot or disease begins
in ihe tops; and suggests as a
means of saving a crop, to apply

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 !"
" Why, 1 dreampt that yerhoner,
made me a present of a. plug of
lobaccy and her ladyship there
heaven bless her ! gave me some
t.ay for the gude wife !"
" Ah, Pat, but dreams go by
"contraries you know !"
' Faith, and they may he that,"
said lJat without the least hesitation,
"so it is your ladyship is to
give the tobaccy and your honer

Eastern Anecdote.?As a woman
was walking, a man looked
at her and followed her.
" Why do you follow me ?" she
asked.
" Because I have fallen in love
with you, he replied."
" Why arc you in love with me,"
said she, 44 iny sister is much handsomer
; she is coming after me, go
and make love to her V*
The man turned hack and saw
a woman with an ugly face. Being
much displeased, he turned to
the first and said?
" Why did you tell mo a falsehood
?"
" Neither did you speak the
truth," replied she, (or if you were
really in love with me, why did
you leave me to look upon my sister
?"
There is much good sense in the
remark, says an e'xehango, and if
more were as sensible as this,
there would be less inconstancy.

Dr. Spencer's Vegetable I 'ills,
iiiul Vegetable Tonie and Restorative
HITTERS.
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.
