Both hotels have also been very kind to them An old Granville man said the Raleigh people were the most hospitable people he ever saw, because, when he went to Raleigh, they met him at the depot with all soj'ts and sizes of carriages, and in sisted on carrying him to any house in the city. JSTo such hospitality in Oxford. If yon want conveyance, give previous notice. Those sending orphans, should write in advance, that they may be met at the depot. A raw orphan is in a sorry fix when the tram stops in a dark, muddy bottom, and he is informed that the Orphan Asylum is a mile ofl:*. J. H. M.

None of the children at the Asy lum are sick Mr. A R Wortham, commissioner, advertises some valuable land for sale in Vace county. The following Orphans have gone to visit friends: Missouri and Mattie Piland, Walter and Fanny Woodard, Ransom and Ednoy Hare, Katie Johnson. We send out this week a number of specimen copies.

Grant, principal of Simonton Female College, is dead Mrs. Grant had been declining rapidly for several months. She was a daughter of the late Rev. Elisha Mitchell, D. D., who was for years a professor in the University of North Carolina. She herself took a regular course at the University. She was distinguished for rare benevolence and many other Christian graces adorned lier character. ”—Statesville Landmark. _ #Mr8. Grant was at one time a res ident of Oxford, and principal of the Female Seminary here. Intellijfence of her death is received with pro found sorrow. She was a lady of deep piety' rare intelligence, and great benevolence. She was a warm friend of the orphans, and a regular and liberal contributor to the Asy lum. NEWS CLIPPINGS. The following have recently ar rived at the Asylum: Nellie Parish, Guilford county ; Daisy and Lily Olmstead, Forsythe; lolaand Wil lie Fcwler, Wake j Harriet and Al ice Erwin, Buncombe. The Spring Term of the Oxford Home School begins next Monday. It is a good school and merits suc cess. For circular address the Prin cipal, Mrs. J W Hays. SOME EXPLANATIONS. We receive our mail at bedtime, and the mail closes early in the morning. Hence not many letters can be answered “by return raaii.^^ Sometimes, also, questions must bo considered and information obtained Applications for girls to nurse ba bies are very numerous. I shall never cease to admire the wisdom of that model gentleman, Boaz, in hiring the widow Naomi to nurse the infant Obed. I still advise the employment of widows as nurses. I advise girls to follow some busi- ness more improving to themselves. Mr. L. Thomas is responsible for the mailing of the Orphans’ Friend. So you may stop scolding the Super intendent of the Orphan Asylum for the irregularities of mail carriers One poor orphan from Currituck received a box—freight, $1.20, value of contents, 50 cents, loss 70 cents. A boy and girl from Monroe receiv ed a box—freight 50 cents, contents, eight apples, one quart peanuts, &c,, value, 30 cents, loss 20 cents. When the freight w ill exceed the value of the contents, better sell and send the money. Persons writing for orphans should first read our catalogue, and follow the directions given. This course will prevent much annoyance. When you write for an orphan and receive a catalogue, you should read it, and send a definite proposition. Mr. H. A. Gudger, so long the faithful Superintendent of the Deaf and Dumb and Blind Institution, Raleigh, has resigned that position, and Prof. W. J. Young has been elected as his successor. Bro. Gudger is a young man of fine ability, great energy and a warm supporter of the Orphan Asylum and the Friend . May Heaven's choicest blessings attend him through life. Mr. James I. Moore, of Granville has formally given notice to the House of Representatives that he will contest the right of Capt. A. H. A. Williams to a seat in that body. Capt. Williams denies the allegations ot Mr. Moore, and asks an immedi ate investigation of the matter. Col. D. Gr. Wo-vth, of Wilming' ton, has offered an annual pjize to the student of the University who shall take the hignest stand in the department of Moral Sci ence, and Christ an evidences A son of Col. Worth took the high est stand in this department in June, 1882. Eighteen convict laborers 0)j the Western North Carolina Rail Road were drowned in the Tuck aseegee River opposite the Cow- eejTunnel a few days since. The accident occuired while the con victs were being ferried across the river. Let us have better roads. Much is said about defective or insufficient road laws. We suspect that the real reason for pur bad roads is the ineffi cient operation of the laws we al ready have. If the laws need amending, let it be done, but at all events, give us good roads. Capt A Landis is the first of the Oxford merchants to avail himself of the Friend as an advertising me dium. The Captain is a level headed man, and seldom makes a bad invest ment. We advise others to follow his example. Mayor Goodwyn, at a late meet ing of the town commissioners, re commended the enactment of ordi nances for preventing or abating nuisances, for preserving the health of the citizens, for putting good condition the streets and sidewalks, for lighting up the principal thorough-fares, and for thoroughly policeing the town. All these suggestions are good, and we trust that the much needed work will be speedily done. The 0. & H. R. R. connects with Northern trains; not with Southern. So travellers coming by Raleigh stay in Hendereon till night. Those “The Orphans’ Friend, published at Oxford, N. 0., comes to usweek- ly, and we find it a bright, attrac tive paper, which we look over with a great deal of interest. That the orphans are well cared for in the sunny South we are confident.’' We clip the above from our bright and cheery namesake, The Orphans' Friend, published at Auburn, N, Y. We are grateful for its kind words, and trust that it will receive the pa tronage that its merit deserves. We The venerable Edward J. Hale, so long a prominent jour nalist in North Carolina, but since the war a resident of New York, died in that city on the 2d inst. His many friends in this State wUl read this announce ment with profound sorrow- Preparations for moving large bodies of troops from Grermariy to strengthen the garrisons on the Russian frontier and for double tracking the government rail roads in the eastern portion of the Empire, as announced in ca ble dispatclies, do not look as if the new 3^ear is to be without its war’s alarms Rev.

Dr. Calloway accepts Rufus Mallory, of Portland, Oregon, has just completed a trij) round the world from San Fran cisco; his actual travelling time, including necessary time spent to make connections on schedule time, was less than eighty days. He thinks he can do it in seven- ty days.

Norfolk, Va , ) 97 Duke St. ) Dear tchildren:—Christmas has passed and the New Year dawned with bright prospects for the future. It is to be hoped that bright rays, brilliant with true goodness, ina v ever shine upon your tiome and the friends that support it, and to all I wish a happy and prosperous year. I am sorejyou had a happy Christmas, the most en joyable of all holidays, the advent of Him whose mission was good-.will to men. I say sure, for I know the good Superintendent, Miss Anna and other good teachers did all they could to contribute to that end, and shared your pleasures, for Christmas is not only for children, but for all who be lieve in the Divine founder of Chris tianity. It is a joyous time now as when the babe was found in the man ger. This story is familiar in your Bible lessons. The anniversary of Christ’s coming to lighten the bur dens and make happy the hearts of the sons of men. Christmas, dear children, cheers the aged, both rich and poor, it knits together the hearts of the orphan, as in the family circle and weaves memories that time will brighten. It makes all hearts aglow with kindness and fills many cups to overflowing with the happiness it brings; yes many hearts respond to the merry, merry sound of the Christ mas bells as the impulse of the Chris tian heart develops in all that is good, noble and beautiful for the widow and the orphan. From Black Mountain’s peak to the arid sea shore may this feeling ever e.xist in North Carolina, and those who sent gifts to Oxford Orphan Asylum enjoy the blessing it brings to the fullest extent. For this a prayer went up on Christ mas morn, with true sincerity. The privilege of enjoying the day was de nied and in place of bon-bons, the aw fill bitter of quinine to arrest chills and levers. Still the heart was not dark,for rays of love for you and oth ers penetrated it, filled with the warm touch of sympathy that Christmas al ways brings. You kuow the Wise Men came to the Babe of Bethlehem bearing gifts, and it is in memory of that day that gifts are given to those we love. Mine, dear children, nasal- ways been cheered by this pleasant custom. In fact, Christmas is so full of friendship and tenderness, so fra grant with the incense and perfume of love and true affection, that it must have made the orphans’ friends feel, when sending gifts to cheer them, that they were nearing Bethlehem. Your happy faces can be easily imag ined as each child received a gift. And to all that prepared them, may every return of Christmas be as a cloudless sky with a sun serene in the Heavens making it a perfect day. S. A. E. COMMITTEES OF THE LODMC.S ON THE ORPHAN ASYLUli .
