To PmorsssoK Houowat, Sir : It is not my wish to become notorious, nether is this letter written for the mere sake of writing, but to say, that your Ointment cured me of one of the most dreadful cutaneous diseases that flesh is heir to, and which was considered by all who knew me, to be entirely beyond the reach of medicine. For nine years I was inflicted with one of the most painful and troublesome sore legs that ever fell to the lot of man ; and after trying every medicine I had ever heard of, I resigned iu despair all hope of being cured ; but a friend brought me a couple of large pots of your Oint ment, which caused the sores on my legs to heal, and I entirely regained my health to my agreeable surprise and delight, and to the astonishment of my friends.

THE citizens of the "Old North Sute," who have on various occasions extended to me their aid and custom, in the purchase and sale of Stock, have my hearty thanks for their many acts of kindness ; and in justice to the citizens of the State generally, so far as I have had the pleasure of forming an acquaintance with them, I must say that I have traded North. South, East and West, through a great many States of the Union, and 1 have yet to find a more generous, hospitable and kind hearted people, and one more ready to bestow acts of kindness upon the stranger, than is to be lonnd in the "Old North State." I trust I shall ever feel grateful to you for the past favors and be enabled so act in all my dealings as to deserve its continuance in the future. Having engaged to deliver a number of MULES to my old friends and customers, at various points, during the month of October next, I take this method of informing them that I hare made a purchase for them, and also a large number beside, with which I hope to be enabled to accommodate all who may want to buy a Bourbon Mule. It is known that Old Bourbon is the great Mule Coun ty of Kentucky and of the world, and that the sub scriber handles none but the best Bourbon Stock. I will bo in Raleigh on the 17th of October, and will stop at the various towns between there and Plymouth, at which last place I expect to be on the 80th, ready at all places and all suitable times .i .si.k in thnxn who mav cive me a caU. and especially those who desire to purchase. 1 intend to sen as gwu owv e 7 sny man who hails from any County or State in the Union.

TO my friends and patrons, who intend visiting Raleigh in October, to attend the Fair, and to buy their supply of Winter Garments: The Clothing Trade at the present time is at tracting considerable attention in the Mercantile World, and every year more capital is being em ployed ; and when we consider the amount of Clo thing manufactured, we cannot but be surprised to know that so few manufacturers pay particular attention to getting up their Stock in good taste, and having their goods well made. We believe from our experience in business that too much care and attention cannot be given to the manufacturing of Clothing ; consequently we pay the best prices for all kinds of work done ; and af ter having under daily training for years certain hands, it is but reasonable to suppose that we can offer for sale the best made Clothing in the State.
