Hibbard Jlnti-Billious rills These Pills having got into general use at the. North as a family pill, are offered to the South as the very best pill that can be used in warm weather, or during the sickly season. For all diseases of the head, for Fever and Ague, Jaun dice, Bilious Colic, and Flatulency, they are not surpassed by any other Medicine known. The minuteness of the dose (only two Pills) their simplicity and energy, together with their great convenience, happily adopt them to the use of families, travellers, emigrants, seamen &c. FOR FEVER AND AGUE. Perhaps there never was a rertiedy that has done more to eradicate from the system, that peculiarity of Bilious Aflection accompanied by fever called Fever and Ague, as these Pills when taken according to directions, they never fail to perfect a cure The Pills were made by the original proprietor, Rev. B. Hibbard, about 50 years ago ; B. F. Hib bard, son of the Rev. B. H., is the present pro prietor, and still continues to manufacture in his own name. BILIOUS COLIC Patients find relief from a single dose of them. I have known individuals attacked with Bilious Colics and so severe was the griping, painful sensation, that they.? svjee unable to straighten themselves-; they have tsikf ken a large dose of the Pills, bruised to jlcns-dtr and put in brandy, that in tiftj&en jninuetre able to sit up and converse. , ; - v "rf, ,;J ; The great truth, that preventive Js hettejban cure, should be regarded as truth rathe tbait'Cc tion, and the first symptoms ot disease should be promptly met . by a dose of Pills; and-by .thus much ot care "we should find ourselves id ol a thousand troubles. V The cheapness of the Tills, their convenience and their certainty of action, render it very im portant for each family to keep them constantly on hand. Whoever wishes to secure good health and good spirits, will not fail to take these Pills according to directions. The public utility and ttnbounded popularity of these Pills render it unnecessary to insert many certificates ; those however, who may be anxious to learn still farther particulars, can be fully satisfisd by application to the proprietors and manufacturers. Every effort should be made to guard against fraudulent and pernicious imitations of HIB BARD'S PILLS, as the secret of preparing and compounding them is only known to the family oi the discoverer.

Taylor, painted by Jeff ries, with an eagle over his head, holding in his beak a scroll, on which is inscribed .

The flag is trimmed with heavy gold bul lion fring, and cord and tassels of cold and silk. The staff is beautifully finished, with gilt spear, &c. The other is a flag for a company of the Third Regiment of N. C. Militia. It is a regular U. S. flag, about 7 feet long.

Billy returned here the other day on the steamer Fashion, from Vera Cruz, where he had been employed as a mule-driver. He had a dollar or two in his pocket, but soon after his arrival he foand that his last picayune had been spent in a grogery on New Levee street, just above the steam boat landing. Draging himself out front under a wood-pile the next morning after his debauch, he made his way to the place where he had spent the last'of his dimes. His hands trembled and hi lips twitched and quivered, and indeed, to use his own . eloquent expression 4 he had the shakes ti terribly on to him." He beckoned the barkeeper aside in a most mysterious man ner, as though he had something of the utmost importance to communicate. 44 Look here, old feller," said Bill, in a sort of grow ling whisper, ' I want a whis key toddy strong, with a leetle peppermint and a slight shake of the nutmeg into it $ but 1 niut got the first red cent to pay you for it." & V J J 4 " Sec that sign there!"' answered the barkeeper, pointing to an ornamental piece of japanned tin on w hich was painted in golden letters 4 'Cash to-day and credit to-morrow." Billy gave a languishing look at a neigh boring wiskey bottle, and runninghis hands into his pantaloons pockets, he walked slowly and sadly out of the groggery into the street. Luck, how ever, did not de sert Billy ; for, while passing the corner near the 1 nangle-Buildings, a cab broke down and the trunk of the passenger inside tell out. Ihe gentleman told Hilly that if he would carry the trunk to a ship that he pointed out he would give him tilty cents. VV 1 tli the alacrity and strength ot a young giant Billy shouldered the load, safely de posited it at the appointed place, received liis half-dollar, and went on his way as happy as a prince. At the first grogshop Billy took what he called an "eye-opener," made of gin and bitters, then a 44 phlegm splitter'' of rum and water, and lastly a 44 nor-wester" of raw whiskey. These little creature-comforts made him feel hap py, and he went out into the street in search ot nothing in particular. Billy wandered about nil day, calling in at this groggery antl at that, and at night he fountf himself sitting on the edge of the wharf in front of the front boat landing. He was in a rather sorrowful mood, and thus gave vent to his feelings. 44 Yes, " said he, with a whimper, "that's me. Tirrjist like that flatboat tloatin 011 the waters rottin all my timbers, and no body to break me for fire-wood That ere old flat is like me, too, in another way: It was auerry good boat to come down stream with corn, pork, and all them sorts of wegetables, but now, when all them's discharged, they dont care a tinker's damn for it! That's my case, kcrzackly I was weirygood when I listed in the mule drivtrs,f but hen they discharged me they sa'ul I wasn't worth a damn! How could I help it if the darn mules broke out of the pen when them fellers, the giuelkillers or guerrillas, or some sich named fellers come! Wasn't it a rain in cats'n dogs, antl was I a going to get soaked in to the skin for the sake of a parcel of long-eard crit ters like mules ? I reckons not, my wali ant CaptinS Bill White aint the teller to low er hisselfin that way, whatever he may be in othor pertiklers. Then, agin, was I court-martialled? Did I have any boards of ossifers to set on me, and see who was in the right ? No" V Here Billy gave a deep-da R sigh, wiped his left eye with the corner of his jacket, and proceeded -., Either me or the inule3 was right ; but the yeller Mexikins took one of us, and the Merikans took the other. Then they wouldn't let me stay to tight the battles out. Oh, no! they was jealous of me, and sent me home to pine away like a dog who's made his dinner oft'of a p'riened sassenger. Howsomnevcr, as I once heerd a feller say 011 a Fourth of'July oration, 4 Republics is ungrateful an no mistake 1 dont know what to do ; I'm too poor to work an I'm too proud to beg. I've been in the work house so often that they wont send me down any more ; and that's what I call a wiolation of a freeman's rights tSpose I goes on the highway with a big boss-pistol and demand people to 'stand and deliver,' who's the lawyer as will cottte forred to defend me if I aint got the dimes to fee him? I'd commit suercide, but what's the use of that? Ten chances to one my body wouldn't be found, and if it was, and an inquest was held on my smolderin remains, what would be the consequence? Would any feller write poetry on my wirtocs and my inwallibleness as a member of society? No! all my eppertaph would be that a white feller was found in the river with a pair of blue cottonade pants, a check shirt, and a pair of coarse brogans on.' And then, what would the werdict be? Why, nothiu but found drownded.' Who's a goin to die under sich circumstances? Not me, by" " Who's that talking so loud there?" asked a night policeman. 44 It aint me !" said Bill, with a shudder; 46 it's a gentleman as is jist gone under the wharf there. I've heerd him alkiti to hisself for more'n half of a hour." The watchman left Billy to Wn meditations.
