Quilts. '.

A friend some time since sent us s. pattern of a "pieced quilC. ^hich is 0 certainly very preny to look at. YV'e have k?pt it, meditating what to do with .J'jjMit, till a circulation umng our fall Fuirs V'Sj has determined us. Our idea moy be 'found embodied in this question which we have often heard-asked without being able to answer it: "What is the use of tearing cloth into pieces merely to sew ihem together again V' It cannot be for the sake of fitting it to an iifregular shape in the manner of garments nor for the sake, of combining different cul ors, since they maybe had already combined belter than can be done in this way. We do not see tiny use in it, and so do not wish to be accessory to'.so useless a waste of time, and often hnnhlt ond mental vigor. There is enough to be done by woino.i, both useful and ornamental, without spending weeks, and months, and even years—as wo have known done—in piece work which after all does not equal, in beauty such as can be had for a fifteenth part of the cost. At all our Fairs we find these piece-quilts. We never look at them with any pleasure they remind us one shown to Dr. Johnson, which having a good deal of red in it, provoked the surly old cynic to say "It is all red 'with the blood of murdered Time.

We expect to see them disappear, ex cept as samples of the work of little girls, put together in the way of educa tional exercises.—Prairie Farmer.

.. .. Judge Dean's Decision. We are pleased to eee that the decision of Judge Dean on naturalization is meeting with high favor generally. The require menta of the law, as set forth by Judge Dean, are 1. Five years continuous residence of the applicant within the United States, and one year of like residence within the State or Territory where the Court to which the ap plication is made, is held. 2. That the applicant, during the five years, has conducted himself as a person of good moral character. 3. That the applicant is in principle at tached to and well disposed towards the Constitution of the United States.

These queetions must be decided

Celebrated Haif Restorative.

nHIS celebrated and most remarkable Htiirr si«rativo has become in a very short period not only great favorite. The popular, but most skeptical are now satisfied that it will positively restore grey I air to its original color, and reproduce a luxuriant growth of hair on baldheads. It will prevent the premature falling ofl of the hair, auu impart a eoft and glossy appearance, as if It had been recently »nd will thoroughly cleanse tha scalp from dandruff. AH of this, hundreds of our citizens havo realized, *ome of whom have been silver white and bald for the past ten er fifteen years. Many ladies liave been cured of neuralgia and ulcers in the ihoad by its uso. It is put up in quatt bottles at A3 pints, and half pints at $1 each. Testimonials of its almost miraculous effects can be had at the Wholesale and Retail agency, in Terre Haute,Indiana. P.M. Donnelly, agent, where 'all can be supplied with perfect demonstrations of its perfect character as a restorative. All or dors Riled promptly.

WONDERFUL

Cure of a Methodist Minister.

DR. SWAYNR'S

COMPOUND SYRUP OP

WILD CHERRY,

The Original and only genuine "Cherry" Preparation. READ THIS CAREFULLY. Dr. Sn-AYNE—Dear Sir.- I feel it a debt of grat itude due to you—and a duty to the nfllictrd genrally, to offer my humble testimony in favor of out Compound Syrup of Wild Cherry. :ke

Some

hree years since, 1 was violently attacked with cold and inflammation of the Lungs, which wns accompanied with a very distressing couch, pnin in the breast and head a very considerable discharge of offensive mucus from the lunes, especially u,ion changes of weather, howeVef slight. At first I felt no alarm about my condition, but was pretty soon convinced thnt I was rapidly going into consumption. I crew daily weaker, anil at length was scarcely able to walk about, or speak above a whisper, such was the exceeding weakness of my lungs. During this lime I had tried various preparations and prescriptions, but found no relief—growing all the time worse- Just here I was advised and persuaded by a deaf friend in Wilmington, to make trial of your Syrup of Wild Cherry. I must confess that previously 1 had been prejudiced against patent medicines, and I am still against those coming out of the hands of emperics, but understanding your claims to the profession and practice of n.edicine, and having implicit faith in the faying of my friends, I forthwith purchased of Dr Shaw, one of your agents, a few bottles and commcnccd its :. My disease was at this timo of 20 or 25 months' standing, consequently wns deeply seated. I found, however, considerable relief from the use of the first four or five bottles. But boing a public speaker, I frequently attempted to preach with my increasing strength and thereby ruptured those vessels that had already begun to heal in this way doubtless my cure was greatly retarded In consequence of acting thus imprudently, 1 had to u- 12 or 15 bottles before I was perfectly restored. 1 have no question, a much smaller number of bottles would have made me sound, but for the alwve indiscretion. The Syrup allayed the feverished habit, did away the distressing cough, put a stop to tbe discharge of mat terfrom the lumrs, and gave them and the entire system good health. I have deterred offering this certificate till now for the purpose of being perfectly satisfied with the permanencv of the cure, and now that 1 feel perfectly well, I offer it with pleasure REV. J. JORDAN.

Dublin County. N. C. Dr. Swayne :--The Rev. J. P. Jordan is a highly respectable Minister of Xtuhiin County in this State, he desired me to forward to you the foregoing certificate, being fully acquainted with the facts, I can testify that this statement is correct. I shall publish it in our papers, as he is generally known throughout our section. t. Very respectfully,

fM. SHAW, Wilmington, N. C.

Druggist,

The Rev. P. Jordan is known by us, whatever ho may state may be depended upon. & D, Du PRE, Druggist.

Wilming'on N. C., January 28th, 1854. It is certainly unsurpassed by any remedy yet known. Physicians, clergymen, the press, all pronoance it "a triumph in the healing art." It dives tone to the stomach, strengthens the diges live organs, and is the original and only true preparation of Wild Cherry manufactured. Observe particularly the portrait of Dr. Swayne is the wrapper, around each bottle. iYepamt under the immediate care of IL S\VA l'.NE, M. at his Laboratory, No. 4 North Itk st.

Numerous case9 ctl Diseases of the Gpnital Organs, some ol them ol long standing, have come under tny notice^ in which his skill has been manifested in restoring to perfect health, iu some instances where the patient has been considered beyond medical aid. Jn the treatment of Seminal weakness, or disarrangement ol the functions produced by SELF-ABVSE, or EXCESS of yencry, I do not know his surtRiori Jn the prolession 1 have been acquainted with the Author some thirty years, and deem it ho more than justice IO him as well as a kindness to the unfortunate vie tini of early indiscretion, to recommend him as ono, in whose professional skill and integrity thry may safely confide themselves.

ALFRED WOODWARD, M. D.

This is. without exception, the most com pre hensive and intelligible work published on the class of diseases of which it treats. Avoiding all technical terms, it addresses itself to the reason ot its readers. It is free from all objectionable mat t«r, and no parent howevvr fastidious, can object to placing it in the hands of his sons. The author has devoted many years to the treatment ot the various complaints treated of, 'with too little breath lo pud.'and 'too little presumption to iuipAan h« l,ntt nfinnMlu. llio.AUUgtii...fll lt»» lliofolV nominal price of-25 cents, the fruits of some twen ly years most successful practice."—HERALD.

This is to certify that I was callcd in to see

critical and dangerous condition, and, as 1 thought beyoud all hope of recovery. After this 1 was called in Consultation with her regular attending physician. Our Opinions were, that her recovery was impossible. 1 ledrned that her disease was caused more than two yeats ago, from irregularity in her periods ol menstruation, caused by taking a severe cold. I did not see her again, but soon after learned that she was getting well- 1 w^« much surprised at this, and on inquiry as to what could have caused this sudden dh:ing^, was informed (by Win. M- Riltcnour,) t^at she had been taking Dr. Guysott's Extract of Yellow 2?ock and Sarsaparilla. I have since heard of its great effects in other cases in this vicinity. 1 have no inducement to make this statement, other than it mny induce others afflicted as was the subject of this statement, to try the Yellow £ock and Sarsaparilla,,. bulioving, as I do that it is possessed of many excellent fj'tallties' and adapted to many diseases incident to the human family.

LEONI, Michigan, June 12, 1847.

Having experienced the good results of Jones' American (Jiohigogue in my own person, I chee, fully giro my testimony in its favor. I suffered, more or lesB, through the past season, from chill fever, and last fall and winter Wad so'Completely prostrated, as to be nrtable t'A drttiid to my business. My frienJs thought 1 was fast falling into a decline, which would terminarte fatally. Under these circumstances, I was persuaded to try the American Chologngue. Its effects seemed almost magical. 1 began to rccover after taking the first dose, and now (six months afterward) am enjoying n-ore robust health than at any time before for five years.
