Feb. 2nd, 18G0. 23-3m A GRAND VIRGINIA DISCOVERY. SOME FOUR MONTHS SINCE, our excellent townsman, Naphtali Ezekiel, informed us that he had prepared a hair restorer with which he was experimenting upon his own head, whose top wa3 entirely bald. We Baw him two days since, and on the place so bald four months since, a fine crop of hair has sprung tip with a vigorous growth. 8o convinced ia Mr. Ezekiel of the efficacy of his discovery that he has named it 44 THE INFALLIBLE VIRGINIA HAIR RESTORER." Mr. E. is about going into an extensive man ufacture of an article which is destined to prove of anxious interest to our bald pated friends. From Iiichmond Enqui rer, Becember 12th, 1859. This famous article can now be had of the principal Drug gists. Tl OBe persons who desire a fine head of hair, have only to use the restorer according to printed directions on the bottle. Those who have any doubts of its efficacy, can have them removed in a short time, by using the INFALLI BLE VIRGINIA HAIR RESTORER, proving that it is all that it is claimed to be. Wholesale depot for orders, GO Main Street. N. EZEKIEL. I, N. EZEKIEL, take oath on the Holy Bible, that I have been bald tor the past 12 years, and have restored my hair by using EZEKIEL'S VIRGINIA HAIR RESTORER. Naphtali Ezekiel.

AYER'S AGUE CURE, FOR THE SPEEDY CURE OP Intermittent Ftver, or Fever and Ague, Rf mitt cut Fever, Ciiill Fever, Dumb Ague, Prrloclieal Ilenil arlie. ami lilllous Fevers, Indeed for the whole class of diseases oi Initialing ia biliary derangement, caused by the Malaria of mlubmatlc countries. No one remedy is louder called for by the necessities of the American people than a sure and safe cure for Fever and Ague. Such we are now enabled, to offer, with a perfect certainty that it will eradicate the disease, and with as surance, iounded cn proof, that no harm can arise from its use in any quantity. That which protects from or prevents this disorder must be of immense service in the conimuniues where it prevails. Prevention is better than cure, for the patient escapes the risk which he must run in violent attacks of this baleful dis temper. This 44 Cure " expels the miasmatic poison of Fever am Ague from the system and prevents the develop nient of the disease, if taken oa tlfe lirst approach of its premonitory symptoms. It is not only the best remedy ever yet discovered tor this class of complaints, but also the cheapest. The large quantity we supply for a dollar brings it within the reach of everybody ; and in bilious districts, where Fever and Ague prevails, everybody should have it and use it freely both for cure and protection. It is hoped this pric will place it within the reach of all the poor as well ass the rich. A great superiority of this lemedy over any other ever discovered for the speed' and certain cure of Intermittents is, that it contains no Quinine or mineral, consequently it produces no quinine or other injurious effects whatever upon the constitution. Those cured by it are left as healthy as if they had never had the disease. Fever and Ague is not alone the consequence of the mias matic poison. A great vanty of disorders arise lrom its lr- ntation, among which are Neuralgia. Rheumatism. GQUt llcaAatllf:, xtiDutiVoo, awifeaiuo, i miaiiup, vm. , ma, Palpitation, Painful Anection of the bpleen, Jdjsterics, Pain in the Boweb, Colic, Paralysis, and Derangement oi the Stomach, all of which, when originating in this caut-e, put on the intermittent type, or become periodical. This "Cure" expels the poison f'-orn the blood, and consequently cures them all alike. It is an invaluable protection to immigrants and persons travelling or temporarily residing in the mala rious districts. If taken occasionally or daily while exposed to the injection, that will be excreted from the system, and cannot accumulate in sufficient quantity to ripen into disease. Hence it is even more valuable for jfotection than cure, and few will ever sutler from Intermittents, if they avail them selves of the protection this remedy aC'ords. avi. if. C41 iiAirni: fmi.T.S. FOR ALL THK P UliPOSES OF A FAMIL T PHYSIC, are so composed that disease within the range of their ac tion can rarely withstand or evade them. Their penetrating properties search, and cleanse, and invigorate every portion of the human organism, correcting its diseased action, and restoring its healthy vitalities. As a consequence of thes properties, the invalid who is bowed down with pain or physical debility is astonished to find his health or energy restored by n. remedy at once so simple and inviting. Not only do they cure the every-day complaints of every body, but also many formidable and dangerous diseases. The agent below named is pleased to furnish gratis my Amer ican Almanac, containing certificates of their cures and di rections for their use in the following complaints : Costive-v.o.- iisnrtlxim. Headache arisiui 1rom disordered Stom ach. Nausea, Induiestion, Pain in and Morbid Inaction of the Bomels, Flatulency, Loss of Appetite, Jaundice, and other kindred complaints, arising from a low state of the body or obstruction of its functions. They are an excel lent alterative lor the renovation of the blood and the re storation of tone and strength to the system debilitated by disease. AYER'S CHERRY PECTORAL, FOR THE RAPID CURE OP Coughs, Colds, Influenza, Hoarseness, Croup, Bron chitis, Intiplewt Consumption, and for the relief of Consumptive Patients in advanced stages of the disease. So wide is the field of its usefulness and bo numerous are the cases of its cures, that almost every section of the coun try abounds m persona publicly known, wno nave Deen re stored from alarming and even desperate diseases of the lungs by its use. When once tried, its superiority over every other medicine of its kind is too apparent to escape obsen ation, and where its virtues are known, the public no longer hesitate what antidote to employ for the distressing nnri Hftnirfirous attiictions of the nulmonary orcransthat are inpi.lont to our climate. While many inferior remedies thrust, unon the communitv have failed and been discarded, this has gained friends by every trial, conferred benefits on the afflicted they can never forget, and produced cures too numerous and too remarkable to be iorgotten.

During successful medical career of more than twenty years, in the course of which he has visited every quarter oi me gioDe, tc may weu oe supposed tuatProlessor Jlol-. br nonor na co&aaence. As the originator ofa system of treatment which has swept over the world with a force and rapidity. thai, in this enlightened age, are the pre rogatives of Truth, his fame everywhere preceded him. Even in traversing Arabia, some years ago, he found that his name and discoveries were well known to the Sheiks of the various tribes, and deputations of Arabs met him at various points of his journey, soliciting the great " Hakim,"' (their name for physician) to visit their tents ana administer to the sick. At every encampment he was received with most profound respect, which deep ened into absolute reverence as the effect of his wonder- derful remedies was witnessed by these children of the wilderness, borne ot his adventures among them were quite of a romantic cast. One of their chiefs, a majestic old Bedouin, whose favorite daughter had been for years anected with a scorbutic disease, was so carried away with rapture at her recovery under Professor Holloway'a hands, that in a burst ot gratitude, be onered him half his flocks and herds, if he would remain with the tribe and be its guest for life. While visiting Constantinople, on his return home, he had an audience of the Sultan, and was requested to prescribe for a favourite adalisque in the imperial harem, who had been pronounced incurable by the Turkish doc tors. She was a Circassian slave of surpassing beauty, and realized in bcr form and face the description of " Younx Nourmahel " as described in Lalla Rookh. Her disease was dyspepsia, aggravated, no doubt, by the ennui, created by a sequestered and monotonus life. Within a month, however, Professor llolloway's great medicines, with the aid of daily exercise in the gardens of the Seraglio, accomplished a complete cure, and he subsequently received an authograph letter lrom the Sultan, thanking him in the warmest terms, lor restoring to health the " Light of his Harem." No sooner was the news of this euro noised through Constantinople, than the lodgings of the " Great Frank Physician " was literally besieged by diepeptic Pashas and billious Beys, and from the period of his departure to the present time, the demand upon bis agents in Constantinople lor the remedies that bear his name has continually increased. Dr. Livingstone's " Travels." Conviction ot Robert T. Williams. One of the most exciting trials that has ever taken place in North Carolina, has just been concluded in Rockingham Superior Court, and has resulted in the conviction of Robt. T.
