THAYER'S PATENT BRIUfiE.
ANEW and valuable trestle Bridge has been patented
by Mr. G. W. Thayer, of Massachusetts, which will be
found to be an important invention. The amount of strength
attained by the structure is spoken of as being wonderful.
The inventor feels confident that no weight which could be
placed upon it, could break it down. This consideration,
taken together with the economy with which it may be built,
will render it worthy the attention of all who are interested
in the rnbject. This bridge is adapted peculiarly to Rail
roads as well as county roads, as it ean be made of any re
quired span, so as not to obstruct the navigation of streams
when rafts or boats might be desired to pass, and can also
be built at a very moderate expense.

THE subscriber, agent for John Iver McMillan, takes this
method of saying to his friends and the public generally,
that he has returned from the northern Quarries with tbe
largest and best selected stock of AMERICAN MARBLE
that has ever been shipped to North Carolina. He has also
a full supply of EGYPTIAN AND ITALIAN MARBLES,
all of which he is prepared to furnish in the best style, for
any purposes, such as Monuments, Tombs, Head and Foot
Stones, or Furniture, Mantle Pieces, &c. In short, any
kind of Marble Work will be furnished as low, and of as
good material as can be had at any shop in the United States.
From his long experience in the business, and his having
some ef the very best Carvers and Letterersinhis employ, he
hopes to have a fair share of the patronage of the Old North
State sent to him, in place of sending it North ; and be
pledges himself that every piece of work shall give, both in
workmanship and priee, satisfaction. Orders by maiil will be
punctually attended to and all instructions obeyed.

counteracts Dysentery, and all disarrangements of the bow

LIPPITT'S SPECIFIC.
For the Cure of Dysentery. Diarrhoea, and Summer Com
plaint. In presenting this justly celebrated Medicine to the pub
lie, we make no rash assertions of its efficacy, nor is any
hope held out to the afilicted which facts do not warrant.
This remedy having been, for years, used in this place,
for the cure of the above diseases and those appertaining to
the same class, the Proprietor has been induced to offer it on
a more extensive scale, with a view to lessen the amount of
human suffering. I have never known it to fail when the di
rections have been strictly adhered to.
Many useless nostrums have been palmed upon the public,
and I hesitated for some time, until thorongly convinced of
its efficacy.

Wit. II. Lippitt, Esq., Dear Sir: I have no hesitation
in saying that your Specific is one of the best Medicines ex
tant for Dysentery, Diarrhoea, $-c. You possibly may re
collect my case ; if it has escaped your memory I will give
you briefly the facts. I had tried every thing that I had
seen used, but with little success. And after using enough
to start twenty-five Homeopathic M. D's., I began to despair,
when you kindly offered me your invaluable Medicine, whiich
cured me effectually. ' Yours truly, ,
S. J. CARROLL.

had the like effect. Respectfully, &c.,

sired effect in every case I used it after tho usual remedies
have failed. I recommend it with confidence to the public.
Respectfully. &c, J. B. SEAVEY, M. D.
Savannah, Ga., December 26th, 1851. Mr. Wm. H. Lip
pitt, Dear Sir: It is with pleasure I acknowledge the
wonderful effects of your Medicine for curing Diarrhoea or
Bowel complaint, as I am satisfied it was the means, under
God, of saving the life, first of my Child and then of my
Brother. As my Brother was given up by two of the most
eminent Physicians in this place, Drs. R ichardson and Wregg,
and wheu I consulted the latter as to the propriety of trying
it on him so low, he said I might to satisfy myself that I had
left nothing untried, but he did not think that Medicine
would be of any use to him. But thank God he was mista
ken, as we saw the salutary effects in 24 hours, and in ten
days he was able to be out of bed. I remain yours, very
truly and gratefully, WM. BAILEY.

A Farmer who had Nothing to Learn.
Tbere aro in every community, farmers who con
eeive it impossible to add anything to their already
acquired stock of knowledge. We met one of ibis
class a few days since, who, in answer to our inqui
ries whether he was a subscriber to an agricultural
paper, indignantly replied that "book farming was
a humbug, and that he knew more of farming than
any body could tell him." We did not urge the point
with him, conceiving it to be worse than useless :
but as we left him we took a few notes of this mod
el farmer's premises, which we present to the read
ers of the Journal with t&e hopo that they will
prove of service.
The paling fence enclosing the Iioasc-yard was
broken down in several places; one of the hinpe
was torn off the gate, and directly in front of tho
kitchen door several lank-looking swine were wal
lowing in the mudhole, where, for dear knows how
long, the slops of the kitchen had been carelessly
thrown. We thought, that were he really as wise
as he conceived himself to be, that the fence, would
have been repaired, that gate hinc fastened, a good
breed of swine would have replaced the?e hungry
looking ones, and the rich slopa of the kitchen would
have beer, applied to a better use than to create an
unwholesome and unpleasant wallowing place fr
swine.
- The barn stood on an eminence, and directly in
front of it a small stream flowed. From the ma
nure heap to this stream, tho rich manure-waier
was running a steady stream, and under some cher
ry trees that skirted the lawn, 1 observed large quan
tities of the excrements of the fowls exposed to the
action of the weather, and aided m iterially the
growth and vigor of the wilderness of weeds around.
Had he been so very wise he would have checked
the waste of that precious manure : and instead of
permittng his fowls to roost upon the cherry trees,
and thus not only expose them to the inclemencies
of the weather, but lose in addition their very valu
able manure,) he would have given them a place of
shelter, and by that means secured their comfort and
productiveness, as well as their excrements.
An orchard of young apple-trees was almost en
tirely destroyed by the borer ; the fences that en
closed his meadows were in a ruinous condition ;
several hogs were actively engaged in turning up
the sod ; and as we attempted to close the gate that;
led from the main road to the house, we found it
wholly impracticable, one hinge completely torn off
and the other so twisted as to render the effort vain.
Want of time prevented further observations; but
we had seen enough to satisfy us that the careful
perusal of any good agricultural journal, and a prac
tical application of some of tho hints contained in
it, would have been of huudreds of dollars value to
our overwise farmer. Pa. Farm. Journal.
Education nnd. Longer!!'.
General intelligence in a community operates in
many ways in behalf of the continuance of human
life. It docs so by favoring that mortality and vir
tue, the want of which, by leading to fatal indi
gencies, sends so many to the grave. It does so by
making men acquainted with the laws of life, by
which so many of its foes may be avoided. It does so by
furnishing the community with a knowledge of the
various remedies which experience and skill have
brought to light for the relief of human woe.
But let us see how statistics confirm this position.
A celebrated Belgian philosopher has gone into this
subject with great ability, aod has brought to light
some interesting facts, lie compares England and
the Mexican state of Guanaxuatoas two extremes
of the scale of civilization. In England there aro
fifty-eight inhabitants to one death, in the latter
nineteen ; deaths being three times as numerous in
the one as the other, in proportion. England is a
highly civilized State, while in Guanaxuato, the
mass of physical moral and political pollution is of
an appalling magnitude.
With advancing civilization, the rate of propor
tionable morality decreases. In the 17th century,
the annual number of deaths in London arose to
21,000. One hundred years later, though there
was a great increase of population, tho number was
but 17,000. In the middle of the last century, tho
annual mortality was one in twenty ; now it is only
one in lorry, having diminished one-half.
We reach similar interesting results if we contem
plate men in different social positions. Of ten thou
sand persons in agricultural districts in England,
where education more widely prevails. 3,353 reach
ed the age of forty years ! while of an equal number
in the manufacturing districts, only 1,910 survived
to reach that age.
A comparison in France between 1,000 persons in
high rank with 2,000 in a section of Paris contain
ing ragmen, sweepers, day laborers. &c., showing a
mortality twice as great among the latter as among
the former.
By looking over tho tables of Life Insurance com
panies, we ascertain a very great mortality among
the ui.educated poor, compared with the educated
classes.
Casper, of Berlin, has made some curious explora
tions in the great field of human longevity, especial
ly in reference to the influence of the professions on
mortality. lie arrives ui the conclusion that of all
tho varied pursuits of men, that ot the clerical pro
fession stands the best chance of giving its incum
bents a green old age. According to this author, of
one hundred clergymen there attained the age of
seventy and upward, forty-two; of advocates, twenty-nine
; of artists, twenty -eight; of physicians, on
ly twenty-four.
The author's conclusion about clergymen may do
in Prussia, but the immense pressure of rcsponsibil
ity resting upon this class, and the excess-ive labor de
manded of them in this country, would give, we be
lieve, a far different result, were a careful examina
tion made. Boston Traveller.

ing the question of their right to carry away pnano
from the Lobos Islands, a frhrewd Yankee merchant
of New York, Mr. A. G. Benson, with his asociatts.
has solved the problem in the usual go-ahead manner
of his nation. Having satisfied himself by Miflicient
inquiry that the guano was good, inexhaustible, and
was accessible, be also satisfied himself fully that un
der the law of nations it belonged to the whole world,
and the rest of mankind, if they chose fo take it away.
Upon coming to this conclusion, he despatched two
ships with men, provisions, and tools, and has pinre
chartered thirty other ships to load at these Islands
for the United States, and is every day increasing the
number. The Tribune says he had a correspondence
on the subject with the Department at Washington,
before embarking in the project.
A letter in the Journal of Commerce, dated Lima,
July 10, says :
"The Peruvian Government has authorized the
guano companies of this city to load several vessels
at the Labos Mands, and four or five Enzlinh and one
American vessel will be there in a few days for ibis
purpose. A Governor and a body of troops are now
at the Islands, as well as the steamer of war Rincon
and an armed brig, for the pnrpose of protecting the
rights of Peru, which, to the surprise of every one hero,
we learn, have been questioned in England. The Lo
bos are undoubtedly Peruvian property as much as the
Chinchas."
