Dkar Madame-It is with pleasure
that I write to tell you that your valna
ble Remedy has entirely, cured me of a
most feartnl lookinp; and painful soie on
niy ankle. It came more than twelve
months apo, very much like a ring worm.
I painted'it vrith Tinct. Iodine, until it
became a very painful and bad looking
place. Then I comraenceel to try every
thing I could thiok or hear of, until it
became eojrery painful I could ecarcely
walk, wheal went to the best doctor in
tha country, for advice. ' He told me
hecouldcure ine if I would take my bed
and there remain for four orj five weeks,
and if I did not do soprHty soon, it
could not be cured at all, as the bone
would become diseased, and my foot
would have to be taken ofiVf Just imag
itia how I felt, to be told there was no
cure for the sore but to lose ' ray foot, or
give up all business either of these Re
mediea would have ruined me. Mind
you this was the advice of one of the best
doctors In the State of North Carolina
and this conversation took place last
February. I continued to bnrn with
eaubtic, as he advised until September,
but derived no benefit from his treatment.
I. was advised then by a friend to try
your Remedy, (Bitters and Wash) took
. the first dose the 17th of September, and
' I am now a well man, the sore is perfect
ly cured, and I can now walk as far,
o'ance as much and jump as high as any
man you know. Put me back to the 1st
of September, let me know as much as I
bow do of the yirtue ot your Remedy,
and I wottld not hesitate to pay tea dol
lars a boifle for it, if I couki not get it
for less., J -think more of it tlan any
medicitfe in the world. It is" no only
the best Remedy tp purify the blood and
fare all skin iseales. but I believelt will
- cure all kinds of blood diseases, and I
Know it will cure a love for .stromr drink.
J hope you will have this published, as
' there a'e many sufferers who could be
cored f they could know cf and get your
Remedy I am truly, and respectfully,'

Blh-neel Shoes ... I ;
High-heel shoes are. agairj becoming
the prevailing fashion for ladies, and it
would be well tor -those using them to
understand some of the ills arising there
from. It is true that high heels make
the instep seem higher and give the foot
a more graceful and shapely appearance,
but as the heel of the foot is kept up
above its proper level, the muscles, whose
doty is to raise it, are enfeebled by the
loss of that exercise. These muscles are
the calf of the leg, which will thus d win
die-away to the leanness of decrepit agt
and become a thin, unshapely shank if
this distortion be long persisted in, for
exercise unfolds the muscular system,
producing a full, bold outline of the
limbs, and if the high heel is substituted
for the muscular action tie limb is sure
to bseest thia and caxhapely.

'. The Beantlfol Snow f
. ' ; ' : ': ' ' ' i "
1 he snow commenced falling pretty'
generally throughout i he Eastern section
of the State cn Saturday Isst-iand' Von-
tinued unt.l near coon oh Sunday: I?
extended also well into the interior. In
Raleigh thera was sleighing on Monday.
Five inches o snow fell at Rockingham,
in Richmond county, and the storm ex
tended dowV as far aa AbbottEburg,
On the W. & ' W. . Railroad it extended
down as far as Rocky Point, and at
Moore's Creak, Pender county, it if 11 to
the depth of two inches. It -began to
snow at Fayetteville on Saturday even
ing and continued, until Sunday noon
during which time there was a fail of
four inches. The . snow extended down
the river as far as lizabethtown. The
cars on the different 'railroads came in
with their tops laden with the, fleecy
element, and when the steamers Wave
and Governor Worth arrived here they
naa tnree mcnes oi snow on tne upper
decks. In fact hardly any place escaped
in this section, save upon the immediate
gsa coast.
j When the steamers left Fayetteville,
yesterday morning the river was rapidly
declining, although there is yet an
abundance of water. It is "expected
that if warm weather should ensue with
in a few days to thaw the snow.that'has
recently fallen, the river will again rise
as h igh as it was at the time the freshet
was at its highest, and possibly higher

The Insurance' Question.
We publish herewith a petition which
has been circulated In this city and pretty
extensively signed, applying for a reduc
tion of rates on insurance here, in view
of the fact that the Water Works are an
accomplished fact, and that the risk by
fire is thereby j greatly lessened. The
application is signed by a large number
of our leading citizens,1 many ot them
among the most prominent business men
of the city, and itia safe to say that the
insurance they represent will run cp into
millions ot money. In .other cities, we
understand that. a reductibn'of rates has
been made, and we suppose that it will
also result here. To our mind, a reduc
tion of rates will entail an increase of
business, rather than a diminution. The
application, which we publish, roust
command the consideration of those ,to
whom it is addressed : -
' :NOTICE TO INSURANCE COMPANIES.
Whereas, VVtlmiogton is favored with
a thorough and complete system of Wa
ter . Works (just completed) extehding
through the main streets where the
greater portion of the most valuable
property is lceated, nnd whereas , the
said A ater Works are upon the most
modern improved and complete system
as a 'protection - against fire and which
so greatly lessens the risk and danger
from loss by insurance companies and
whereas the premiums paid on insurance
are mnch higher in our city than in many
other cities that have less water. Drotee
lions', &cf therefore we the undersigned,-
ask and urge the agents of the various
insurance companies doing business in
this city to consider the above and cause a
general reduction from . to of one
per cent.upon premium rates heretofore
paid. We ask itf in simple'! justiceto
ourselves, knowing the risk On property
to be much more reduced than what is
above requested' We hope the above
may be granted, and that a general re-,
duction ofj insurance heretofore carried,
or the entire cancelling of policies may
not be necessary on account of tho vari
ous insurance companies declining to
grant a reduction which is so manifestly
.nst. '
