BEING desirous of increasing my Manufacturing fa cilities, and, in order to realize means for that pur pose, I will offer at Public Sale, on Tuesday of Februa ry Court, in the Town of Goldsboro', my DWELLING and STORE-HOUSE, so favorably known as the VA RIETY STORE. The locality and area of the premi ses, being 160 feet front upon West-Centre and 200 feet upon Chesnut-Street, makes it the most desirable situation in own. For a business locality it has no rival, being within one block of two of the best Hotels in the Union. Goods can be discharged fro.n the Wil mington Railroad within 70 feet of the Store door. The North Carolina Railioad will terminate but a short distance from the premises, and also the Atlantic Rail road, which is now in contemplation, will have its term inus very near them. This location is equally desireablc for a private resi- j dence, being beautifully shaded with twelve or more oak trees, and upon the lot there is a most excellent well of water. In the rear of the above-mentioned premises is an un improved Lot, fronting upon Chestnut-Street 204 feet, and 160 feet upon Greenwich-Street, which will be sold at the same time. Possession will be given immediately both of the dwelling and the store-house. In consideration of the rapid growth of Goldsboro", and its many railroads and other advantages it has over all other interior towns in the State, the above is the rar est chance ever yet offered to capiaalists for a safe and judicious investment.

I have, therefore, adopted the label of my son, William F. Gray, of Nashville, Tennessee ; and all the Ointment I hsve made since the 1st of January, 1852, bears his name, written by me in a large and plain hand. .My son has sent, by an Agent, a large supply of the Ointmei.t into the Western part of North Caroiina, and has lately made a shipment to Wilmington of several thousand boxes. In the course of some Jew months every County in the State will be furnished with an ad equate supply of the Ointment. My son is the only per son to whom I have imparted a perfect knowledge of preparing the Ointment, and the Ointment made by him will be- genuine all without his label and signature should be avoided as spurious.

I : mH IS book points out, in plain language, free from j JL dc octors terms, the Diseases cf Men, Women, and Children, and the latest and most improved means used in their cure, and is intended expressly for the benefit of families. It also contains descriptions of the Medi cal Roots and Herbs of the United States, and haw they are to be used in the cure of diseases. It is arranged on a new and simple plan', by which the practice of Medi cine is reduced to principles of common sense. This invariable book has passed through many edi tions ; it has now been revised and improved in every respect, and enlarged to nearly double its former size ; and contains nine hundred octavo pages. It does not propose to dispense with physicians in se vere caes , but it does propose lo save thousands and fens of thousands annually, by putting the means of cure into every mav.'s hands, and of saving many valuable lives (which is of far more importance) by instructing individuals how to check disease in its be, innings, be fore it has acquired too much strength to resist and overcome.
