voinarkcd that no j ear witliin the
recollection of the present genor-

in reports of disasiers on land and

lij'iitnina'and eiu’thi'iuakcs, storms,
iluods, pests and other disaster's.
We hear of these things and then
pass them by as “accidents” or
mere chaneo occurrences, liut is
this so ? Has I’rovidenco no

■—Last Spring four little girls of
Daw county made up a box f)f
clotlimg, for the Orjthans.
More recently the httS girln of
■\\’ilson gave an entertainment,
the proceeds of which Were con
tributed to the sUijport of (he Or-
lihan Asylum; and at this time a
number of the little Misses of Ox
ford .are prej)aring to gite a Con
cert for the same purpose. So
much for the dear little girls.
Samuel Vance Shelton, a little
boy ■five years old, of Buncombe
conhtA-, got togetlier ’sixty cents,
(lie. proclucts of bis own labor,
and sent it as a contribution to
thij. Orphans. M”ilUe Oscar llid-
dict, six years old, sends the oi-
jilniiis one dollar. We print this as
an ' axamiile and fl sflggestion to
other little bovs.
A l^’idow jvlio recBTitly lost her
husband, writes in i'egit-rd to an
orphan )iOw at Oxford aiid then
adds:
