The first bale of cotton sold in this State, 'which was raised in this State this year, was sold in this city yesterday, &c., &c, &c. The above is from the Newborn Times of the 31st ult., and is a pretty fair evidence of how far behind the march of events a man can sometimes get. The presiding local genius of the said Newborn Times is hereby respectfully informed jthat on the 24th Au gustjust one week prior to the grand discov ery made by him above, two bales of cotton were brought to this city from Richmond county in this State and their arrival was duly recorded in the city papers of the 25th ult. We hesitate for the want of words with which to express our admiration for the in telligence and capacity of this local genius, the said admiration having previously cul minated on reading lis account of the ap ples that would measure 14 inches in diam eter. He had better jemigrate to La Crosse, Wis. ; he would projve a bigger fortune' to Brick Pomeroy than to any oue else. GOOD ADVICE. Let our possessions lie what they may marble palaces, broad lands,' iagnificent plate, or eas kets of 44 precious stone's" they all sink in the balance against Heaven's great boon, HEALTH, ana tney cannot oe enjoyed without it. And yet how little is it valued, and how carelessly pre- served. The laws of nature cannot be violated with impunity. Night! revelry, luxurious living, irregularity ol meals, abd a disordered appetite, will gradually destroy the power and activity of the stomach. How many ladies and gentlemen eat and drink disease ajt late suppers, and arise in the morning wit hesidache, loss of appetite, feeling languid and unjefreshed. There can be no medical remedy that will turn lead into iood, or poisoned drinks into nutriment, but medical science can assist nature, supply exhausted fluids, and to a great extent cprrect the effects of dis ease. In all cases such as tne above, we recom mend Plantation Bittebs. You will find, them iust the thing at the same time a most delicious tonic and appetizer.

Many inquiries and much dissatisfaction haye resulted from the postponement of the grand drawing ot the N. C. Real and Per sonal Estate Agency, which was to have taken place on the 28th inst., and so many rumors had obtained 1 currency, thatj on Saturday moroingwe called on Mr. Hester. President of the Company, and on R. G. Lewis, Esq., Treasurer, for an explanation of the facts which led to the postponement, and received, in 6ubstance,4 the following statement: Manv of the Agents for the sale of tickets had not reported their sales or returns, so the management could not arrange for the drawing on the day set, and do justice to ticket-holders. They further found it ne cessary to reduce, E the proportions of the scheme, and also to make a change " in the arrangement of the articles in the prize list,1 to conform the same to the sale i "oi tick ets. Both gentlemfJi named gave us assur ance that there is no ground for the unfa vorable rumors concerning the drawing, r the operations of the Company, and that lull and satisfactory explanation will be iven the public, in a day or two, in relation to the whole matter. We were assured tha all who are not satisfied with the explana tion when given, will have their money re funded on application. We refrain from further remarks in regard to the matter, at present, and await the promised explana tion. Thus saith the Rdeigh Sentinel. In an Inebriate A??l nm Anecdotes and Incidents. The September number of LippincoWs Magazine contains a pleasant article by Ma 1 com Maceuen, entitled "A Week in an AqUarium," which gives an account of Dr. Parrish's Home for Inebriates in Philadel phia. We copy one or two passages, in which lively anecdotes are told : " To exemplify the pleasant cordiality ex isting between the young men and the doc tor, I should like to relate one or jtwo oc currences th&t came under my own observa tion. On one bccasion; an ex-inebriate felt somewhat disposed to indulge his appetite for stimulants. It would have been no hard matter for him to have gone off quietly and found a place where he could gratify his desire; this, I must in candor admit, had been sometimes done, but very rarely so rarely as to afford an additional argument in favor of the lenient system pursued at the Sanitarium. During my short stay there I saw or kngil.of no attempt at any such manccuvriie young man went to the doctor an$(l him that he would like to have a drnrlff just as he would have gone to any other friend. Now what did the doc tor do? Orrathex. sabai- ft wiH- . - i He did not want to refuse the young man's request, and yet did not deem it advisable to grant it. To have followed the old ex ' ample of many people, and taken advantage of theopportuniiy to deliver a long-drawn lecture on the glory of total abstinence and the abomination of intoxication; would have been, under the circumstances, equally stupid ard inexpedient, the young man would probably have gone off, irritated, to the nearest grog-shop he could . find, to poison himself with the 4 kill me-quick' generally dispensed at such places. The doctor, with that tact which eminently fits him for the position he holds, made the young man refuse himself anddeliver to him self his own moral lecture.! Drawing the key of the liquor closet from his pocket, he put it on the table before the young man. " 4 There, said he, 4 is the key ; you may take it and get a drink it you wish to : but betore you do so, as I am granting you a favor, grant me one in return. I ask you to let that key remain on the table where it is for fitteen minutes. If, at the end of that time, after sober consideration, you think it would be beneficial lo you to take a drink, go and get one.' " The young man thought a moment and went away without taking the drink, while the doctor returned the key to his pocket, having not only gained his point, but what was ot far more importance having re tained the vounsr man's confidence and friendship. "It should be borne in mind that in dealing with his guests the doctor had often not oniy to divert their desire to drink, thus insensibly, by cultivating a fondness tor some harmless occupation, but that he was obliged in very many instances to contend with the pernicious effects of ignorance and maltreatment on the part of others. Young men came to him not sick, often not intoxicated nor even particularly desirous to become so when they founx mat no harsh measures"were employed to pre vent them but simply with their hearts frozen by the misjudged cruelty with which they had been treated elsewhere. Ah! how soon they thawed and warmed beneath sunshine 1 If I were asked in what the wonderful treatment at the Sanitarium con sisted, I might answer that it consisted as much in the absence of maltreatment as in anything else. , The young men were treated as sensible, intellectual beings, not as social outcasts. " Once a week, at the Sanitari um, there was a sort of informal meeting held in the evening in the billiard room. The doctor would read or deliver extem pore some remarks that he thought would interest hi3 'boys,' and then we could all express our own opinions. The conversa tion often turned, naturally, on the vice ot intemperance, and the experience ot every man in that room the matter being dis cussed without any mawkish hesitation would be different showing that each case required a treatment particularly adapted to it. I may not here divulge much I head that might interest the reader, for I must cautiously avoid saying anything to betray those companions who made my stay at the Sanitarium so pleasant. Much disgust was excited on one occasion, I know, by the arrival of a box. or package directed to Dr. ParrisK't Institution for Drunken Inebriates;'' and again by some individual going to the door of a hall where Ethiopian minstrels were in full blast, and inquiring if any of Dr. Parrish's bloats were there."
