Fayetteville, Nov 29, 1S51. tf
FT ft -HALL. viWS' APromjroiirloae8ome,
Blake's Patent Fire-Proof Paint.
The durability of this most valuable and ex
traordinary substance is such that it has only ar
rived at its best and most permanent state when
all ordinary Paints begin to turn back to powder
and rub or wash off. It is applied like ordinary
Paint, and in a few months becomes a perfect
stone v hich resists both fire and weather. Time
seems to have no influence except to make it ad
here closer and form a more perfect state.
LOOK OUT FOR FRAUD.
This article has become so popular that many
unprincipled persons who have found beds of
rotten-stone, unformed red sand-stone, or any
minerals which resemble the genuine article in
color, &.C. have published that they have found
beds of "Fire-proof Paint," which (without wait
ing to test their properties) they offer to the
public for sale, and state that they are superior
to everything, whereas none of them have been
got up more than two years, and many of them
not yet two months. I hate the statement of
more than 20 men of the highest standing in the
vicinity of the M ines, who have seen and some
of them used these counterfeit stuffs, which says
there has been such a complete failure in all the
different articles got up and offered for sale there
as "Fire-proof Paints," except mine, that mine
only is considered worth using. - Besides all this,
I have a patent upon the genuine article which
has been submitted to some of the most able
referees in the country, as also to the Hon. Danl
Webster, all of whom decided in the most ex
plicit terms that it was valid, and all persons
manufacturing, selling or using this article, un
less obtained of me, would be liable tome lor
damages.
Every person therefore to be safe, should see
that my brand is on every package; for should
they purchase any substance which will make
the genuine"Fire-proof Paint" (not of my manu
facture) they become liable to a prosecution for
infringement of my Patent, and if they purchase
a useless article, they of course lose their
money.

color, for sale by my only authorized

caused a good deal of dissatisfaction in

The lectures delivered by the Doctor

the following account of the people who
inhabit the polar region, adjoining Baffin's
Bay :
The race of people who inhabit the
country adjoining to Baffin's Bay and its
tributaries are so little known, "that arty
thing in relation to them is caught up witii
avidity. This'arriral furnishes us with a
sight of some of their distinctive character
istics, in dress and otherwise The dress
of a married lady is composed of a pair
of short seal-skin pants, fur outside, ex
tending nearly to the knee joint, where it
meets with the legs of the boots, made of
the same material, or of deer,kin. Trie
opper part ol the person is covered with a
jumper" oa kind of eack, with a hole
for the head and sleeves- made whole,
with the exception of a place for the head
and arms. This aUois made of seal skin,
or deer skin, and in the warm weather is
covered with a family colored cotton cloth
sack. In the" coldest and wet weather,
the cloth sack is removed, and a seal skin
covering, without fur, placed in its steail.
The dress of an unmarried lady is distin
guished by a broad band, made df fancy

ches wide, sewed on each side of the
front of their pints, extending nearly the
whole length of them.
A married
womm can a'so be tlistin-
guished from
an unmarried one bv the
liair, which in both cases iT tied on the
top of the head, and tiie ends of that of
the married colored blue, and of the un
married, red. This enables a gallant to
act the amiable, without danger of inakirv
advances to some one already Nnarried,
and getting a stray shot from an injured
husband. The boots are made very neat
ly, slender, and well propoi tined. The
deer skins are dressed in a beautiful man
ner, simply by drying and rubbing them
on a smooth sio'ie. A pair of slippers
completes the wardrobe of a lady in the
Esquimaux country; these are mule of
deer skin, and neatly fringed around tho
top with white rabbits fur. The clothing
which was shown us was made in a very
tasty and strong manner, every thread
used being made of the sinews of the deer,
ai.d of course very durable. The dresses
o! the males are very similar to that of
the married ladies, with the exception that
they are longer and rather heavier. The
Danes are scattered around among the
Esquimaux, and furnish them with what
foreign articles they may want, which are
limited to steels lor their spears, and some
few ornaments for their tlrssses, and
coloring for their hair and ladies' boots.
The seal seems to furnish them with al
most every thing they seem to require
food, clothing, and even fuel.
Humanity to Slaves. The N. York
Journal of Commerce, in an article show
ing that slaveholders have hearts, asks :
How many of the revi!er9 at the North
are equally honest, conscientious and
humane? Not many, we are peruadcd.
Rev. Dr. Cox, of Brooklyn, publicly stat
ed, a year r two since, that a slavehul.
der in North Carolina, whose hospitality
Dr. C. vas enjoying, offered h'nu all his
slaves, one hundred and twenty in num
ber, on condition that he would take the
responsibility ol placing them -n circum.
stances more favorable to tljeir happiness
and moral welfare than those in which he
found them. Dr. Cox did not venture it
well knowing that their moral and reli
gious interests, as well a their physical
comfort, were sedulously cared for by
their master; and that he retained them
more for their sake than his own. The
master was rich, and also benevolent."
