If convenient, pay the freight; but, wliether you pay the freight or not, in sending by rail-road or steamer, mail the clerk’s receipt that we may know where to find the box, if lost. 7. Watch in the Orphans’ Friend for the report on every box and help us correct anj* error YOU may discover. now TO SBKD A BAG. 1. We will furnish bags at any time for valuable contributions. 2. Let the bags be strong and put in them such articles as will not be injured by rough handling, or by boxes piled upon them. 3. With the clerk’s receipt for the bag, mail a list of contents and the names of the contributors. 4. Mark on the bag : Orplian Asvlum, Oxford, N. C. .5. If the Orphans’ Friend fail to report the arrival of the bag, in a reasonable tjme, send a letter of inquiry. C. If you wish the bags re turned, say so in your letter. .HOW TO aiO.VEl'.’ 1. The Banks are very kind and do not charge the orphans for accommodations. Cliecks are, therefore, most desirable. 2. Post Office orders cost very little and are very convenient. 3. Wlien checks and Post Of fice orders are not in roach, let ters should be registered. 4. When you enclose a check, an order, or moiieyq tell the names of the contributors. If from church, or Sunday School, give the name, denomination, and Post Office. If from a Lodge or Society, give tlie name, number and Post Office. Do not say from “ our cliurcli,” or “ our Lodge.” 5. If the Orphans’ Friend fail to report the arrival of a letter, be sure to write again. 6. Direct your letter.s to ORPHAN ASYLUM, 4-tf Oxi’ORD, N. C. TO VSSITOKS. The children are assembled in the chapel every evening from to 8 o’clock; and on Sunday afternoon from 3 to 4 o’clock. Visitors coming at other liours may see the cliildren and hear tliem recite in their respective Form rooms. Spelling Matches every Friday evening at 7 o’ clock’ give young women opportunity to study all the branches they may' desire in law, medicine, sci ence, belles-lettres, etc., with the same facilities as their brother students. Tlie recitation-rooms are at present crowded with male students; therefore the classes for women will be at different hours, though in the same rooms. This will necessitate an increase in the number of tlie Faculty, the expense of wliich may' be met by moderate fees from those women atterul financial condition of the Univer sit}' will soon be so much im proved that the instruction will be as free to women as to men. “ 0.00, Harrell’s Educated Hos'. “ 6.00 eacli.

The painting is well executed, and the guests counted his teeth, measured his proportions, and concluded that Agamemmon was phy'sicallv wellproportioned. The skeleton itself is carefully guarded at Mycenae, as it can not be re moved by ordinary means with out destroying it. —“Will the boy who threw that pepper on the stove jdease come up here and got a present of a nice book ?” said a Sunday-school superintendent in Iowa. But the boy never moved. He was a far-seeing boy. 'i'EIE BEGISFATFKE A1VI> OKPIIAKS. THE contributions through their ovYu projier officers, llei'e are the HOW TO SEND A BOX. 1. Be sure tlie box is strong. Tlien fill it with something whicii ■will not spoil on the way', and which will be worth more than the cost of transportatlon.J 2. Never put in the same box articles which will spoil eachother. Home-made soap isalways needed here ; but it should not be put in a box witli sugar. 3. Do not put in any candy, prize boxes or fire crackers, or powder. 4. Before nailing on the, top. A Rule That Works Both Wavs.—A London barrister re cently received a letter from a Scliool Board election agent to this effect—“Sir; I am deeply interested in procuring the return of Mr. for the Board, and, knowing vour views upon educa tion matters, have taken the lib erty of placing your name upon his ( 0 nmittee. I have further, ventured to put down your name as a subscriber of five guineas toward his expenses, and unless you notify me on or before the —th that you do not concur in these arrangements, I shall take tlie further liberty of assuming that YOU acquiesce in them, and that I may look to you for the subscription recorded to your name.” The barrister promptly replied—“Sir; I regret that I cannot accept the offers made by you to me in letter of yesterday. I may, however, mention that I am deeply interested in raising a fund to provide for the necessi ties of a destitute and deserving widow lady. Knowing your charitable disposition, I have ta ken the liberty of putting down your name as a subscriber for ten guineas, and since his dat qui cito, I shall, unless I hear to the contrary from you by midday to-morrow, venture to assume that you accept my of fices on your behalf, and that I may look to you for that amount of subscription.” Early next morning came a messenger, in haste, in a cab, bearing a letter from the agent, who was very sorry, but the pressing calls upon his purse forbade him to accept Mr. ’s kind offices. —At a recent meeting of the Faculty of the New York Uni versity, a resolution was passed to admit women to the privileges of the regular courses, and au thorizing tlie Faculty to mature a plan for this purpose, to be presented at the next meeting of llie council. The design is to NOTICE. U. S. INTERNAL llEVENUE SPECIAL TAXES MAY ], 1377, TO APRIL 30, 1878. The .Revised Statutes of the U.

The Constitution of North Carolina sav'S : ‘There sliall also, as soon as practicable, be measures devised by the State for the establishment of one or more Orphan Houses, where destitute orphans may be oared for, educated and taught some business or trade.’ Every member of the Legisla ture, before takiiir his seat, sol emnly swears, “that he will sup port the Constitution and laws of the United States, aud the Consti tution of the State of North Caro lina, and will faitlifully discharge his dutv as a member of the Sen ate, or House of Representatives.” Both political parties liave been in power since the present Con stitution was adopted, and the only appropriation made to tlie orplian work was the gift of the crape used at the funeral of Oov- enor Caldwell. 10-tf.
