1 1 ft"" W WW MnJ VOLUME X -NUMBER 1 10. VILMINGTON, N. C THURSDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 29, 1855. WHOLE NUMBER 1210 I I i Ay jty . ao ay my m C4 MISCELLANY. WONDERFUL DOCTOR.: We have heard of many remarkable . fcureg in our day, as having been, perforra pc! by quack doctors, but tbey tell a story of a man up in Vermont, that ' beats' nil others : He is death on" fevers," consump tions flies csfir of a windowas he opens a door, and dropsy vanishes at his touch, but it is in curing cancers, fever sores, etc., that he tnjst displays bis-J$kill, if we may be- m lieve his friends. They say- he was re cently called to visiti a young1 -lady who had a troubleasome fever sore upon one of her lower limbs. Several eminent physi tians were in attendance who Had" come to the conclusion that nothing' could save her life but amputation, as the limb was a mass of disease from the knee to the ankle. He looked at it, and without hesitation de ; dared he could 'make a .well leg of it in forty-eight hours. , So 'confident did he seem that the1 sufferer believetl him,and discharged the other doctors. He imme diately made an application of a certain salve to the limb, and so wonderful wis it properties, that by the next day when, he called again, all the diseasedTlesh had dis appeared without pain from lhe knee down, leaving nothing but the bones, blood-ves-sels and cord of the leg, and the toe nails. After carefully scraping and washing the bones, he applied a lmament and bandages to the limb, and left "it for another day. -Upon his-return, to the surprise of all pres ent, the bones had become covered with flesh, and a beautiful skin in a word he had redeemed his promise, and in two days" had effected a complete cure of the disease ed limb. , This wonderful man is said lo keep six ,. horses which are worked hard in carrying him to visit his patients, so great is their number. , In- fact, there seems to be but one thing in the way of success. He has cured a large number of maiden ladies,-all of whom are bo filled with gratitude, that ihey are anxious .to repay him with their hands as they already have their hearts. His mode of cure, he says, has been pecu liar in such cases, and as he has always found that single ladies 'were more easily cured when the hopes of marriage are held out, be . has universally promised thenj a husband upon their recovery, - and now they are anxious, oneand all, to- lake him his word. As the laws of Vermont will jadoxical condition in human affairs, for t permit him to marry all his parents of, while enslaving himself, he is always at not ihis class, we expect to hear, either that he has removed with the whole lot to. Utah, -where the Mormon laws will allow him to gratify the wishes of all, or that his future practice will be confined to the male sex, and to such ladies as already have" hus bands that will prevent their laying .claims to him. , COY LOVE. One pf the queerest and funniest things to think of in after life, is ,lboy love." ' No sooner does a boy acquire a tolerable stature than he begins to ima- csgine himself a man, and to ape manish ways. . He casts sidelong glauces at the girls he may meet, becomes a regular attendant at church or meeting, sports a cane, carries his head ereet, and struts a little In his walk. Presedtly, and how very soon, he falls iu love yes, falls in is the proper word, because it best indi cates his happy,; I delirious, self-abasement. He lives "how in a fairy region, somewhere collateral to the" whorld. and yet, somehow, blended inextricably with it. He perfumes his hair" with "fragrant oils, scatters essences over his JiaudkeTchief, and desperately ' shaves nd anoints for a beard. jHe quotes poetry in which "love," and dove," and '"heart,", and ''dart, " peculiarly predom inate ; and, as he plunges deeper into the delicious labyrinth, fancies himself filled with the devine afflatus, and sud denly breaks into a scarlet rash of rhyme. He feeds upon the looks" of his beloved ; is raised to the seventh, heav- . en ishe speaks pleasantly ; is betrayed into the most astonishing ecstacies by a smile, and is plunged in the gloomiest Tegions of misanthropy by a frown. He believes himself the most devoted lover iu the world. There never was such another.. There never . will be. lie is therbne great idolater ! He is the very typi of magnanimity and self-ab-negationi Wealth ! , he despises t the : groveling tho't Poverty, with the ado xable beloved, he rapturously apostro- phises as the first of all earthly bles sings ; and 44 Love in a Cottage with water and a crust," is the beau ideal paradise of dainty delights. -t fie declares to himself, with the most solemn emphasis," that he would go thro' lire and water undertake a pilgimage to Oiina and Kamschatka; swlVn storm jossed oceans ; scale impassablel moun tains; and" ace legions of bayonets, but for one sweet smilo from her dear lips He dotes upon a flower she has cast a way. He cherishes her gloves a little worna the flusters next - his heart. He liffhs like a locomotive letting off steam. He scra wls her name over quires ot foolscap fitting medium for his in- m. He scorniUliy acpreciaies attentions of other boys of, his own age; cuts Peter Tibbet deadf because he' said .that the adorable Angelina had carrottv .hair, and passes Harry Bell contemptu ously, for daring to compare "that giw- Mary Jane," with his incomparable - -Angelina. - M - Happy 1 happy ! foolish - boy.love I Aviwi its nvci anu jis iears ; its joys and its sorrows ; its jealousies, its de lights; 4 its raptures and its tortures; its ecstatic fervors, and. terrible hearten r.

On seeing the bevy of beau ties disporting in the waves, be burst into a fit of enthusiasm "Je-ru-sa-lem I. if that don't jest remind me of something good1 we have to ham." -';' What is that?" remarked a friend who heard him . 1 - , "What is it f" said Jonathan, smacking his lips, "Why, it's lasses and water." . f A STRONG STORY A wild friend of ours, (Selma Tom,) told us the other "day the following tough story: ' Tom sayfc he got acquainted within a very companionable fellow from one ot the mountain counties, who happened to be in Selma on business. 'This was in August last. Mountain Sprout was a member of the Church, bin being a long way from home and having never experienced "teed cocktail belore, he took on as much as he could wag with Tom aiding and .abetting. In due tim, Sprout went home, but rumors of his potations -followed him, and the church brought .'him to taw' for drun kenness. Sprout, on trial, admitted that he had, while in Selma, got a little foxy,' but then he told his brethren, the 'big lumps of ice they had at the bar, were so very inviting, he couldn't help drinking.' Thereupon an old brother got up and said, that for his part if the young brother had onljrjjot drunk under tfie circumstances of beia away from home, and falling into batrcompa nyv he 'should have been in favor of for giving, on -his acknowledgment. 'But brethren,' he wound up, 'this matter is worse than drinking-it's downright typ ing. Did you hear what brother Sprout saidahout Ice, and in August? I'm for jerking him out for lying ! ' And out he went.- Mont. Mail. THE NEGRO AS AN INSTITUTION. It.is' wonderful, ?ays the Enquirer, what a great stir. Sambo makes in the world. His influence is not confined to one country, . or even one continent. Europe', Asia and America feel the 6w efof his greatness ; and Africa, though all his own is now beginning to appre-' ciate his ebony worth. He holds a par- enslaving others. His usefulness too, is no less peculiar than his influence. He is, as the New Orleansouranr truly says, a "stupendous institution.0. He answers a three-fold purpose, and that is more than many white men are capa ble of. In the first place, he sows, hoes and gathers a product which clothes a world ; which hasmade Massachusetts rich and saucy better than her neigh bors ; which enables Lngland lo carry on the waf against Russia ; which sup plies France with the sinews ot conflict, and which helps Christian nations to cut each other's throat by furnishing the raw material indispensible to the prose cution of multifarious branches of indus- try. . In the second puce, the "nigger" as sists the Abolitionists' and Anti-Americans of the North-wonderfully. With out Sambo, they would soon languish and die. His order alone supplies them with vitality. In the third place, the "negro" is just as useful in the South as in the North. In the North he manufactures bogus Democrats, Abolitionists, and Anti-A- mencans. In the South he manutac- turcs A nti-Americans, Secessionists and bogus Democrats. He is equally valu able in both sections of the Union in the furtherance f objects diametrically op posed to each other. Wonderful pro duct is Sambo 4 Hurrah for Africa ! ! SURRENDERED HIMSELF. . We published an account a few days since, says the Baltimore Clipper, of the escape of Joshua Reed, from the custody of a Cincinnati police officer, 'who was bringing him on here to lodge him in his old quarters at the Maryland Penitentiary, from whence he had taken trench leave a few months since. Reed about 8 o'clock on Wednesdey evening presented hirfself at ;he Penitentiary, accompanied by an old mend, and on the gate being opened by officer Kersey, he announced that he had come back to serve out bis term. He said that after he made his escape from the Cincinnati officer at Harper's Ferry, he walked all the way lo Baltimore, and had been here for a day or two, disguised as a negro, with his face blackened and hand kerchief tied around his head. His alleged reason for leaving the Cincinnati officer, to whom he voluntarily gave himself up, was that he disliked this continued boasting of bis skill and success tn catching rogu s, and thought that he would learn him a lesson. He said that he was determined that no one should have the pleasure of re ceiving the two hundred dollars offered for bis recapture. $10 REWARD.
