Kead notice of sale of personal property in another column. kludge McEae has made a most favorable impression i n the peo ple of Granville. The editor is this week engag ed in a protracted meeting at Hermon. Oxford Warehousemen and to-' bacco dealers are making prepar ations for a lively trade the com ing season. A Meeting of the Oxford bar was held last Wednesday, and appropaiate resolutions paB.-ed respecting the deal h of Col. Geo. W ortham. Prof. Hobgood informs bs that the Oxford Female Seminary is in a highly prosperous x>ndition, the number of pupils greatly ex ceeding that of the proceeding Mr. George Fleming and Miss Mattie Beasley were married at the Baptist Church last Wed nesday morning, Eev. J. 8. Har daway officiating. The potato crop this year seems to have been an unaally fine one. Several exchanges are boasting of large potatoes. The Feibnd thanks Mrs. J. B. Hob- good,near this place, for a potato weighing nearly five pounds. The feeble attempt of the Tarboro Southerner correspondent to find Scripture that justifies the modern dance,reminds one of the Devil quoting Scripture to Christ. The Presbyteryan Synod in session at Pittsburg, Pennsyl /a- nia, October 20th,resolved to di rect all the force of the Church against intemperance. A few days ago a man in New York was fined $300 for giving tobacco to a giraflfe in Central Park. Almost simultaneously a tavern-keeper in Chicago was fined $5 for selling whiskey to children. From these two fines it would appear that the preser vation of the morals of the gi raffe stands higher than the pro tection of children.—Ex. We notice that several of our farmers have moved into town, md learn that others contem- fiace doing so We welcome ?ou, gentlemen, but when farm ing ceases to be profitable, the ;own man will be alike unpros- lerous. Bread is the t^taft of life, and ’tis said that “a bird in the hand,** &c. It will be but a short time bo- ore the meeting of our Grand jodge. We should be pleased 0 meet as many of our tubscrib- ra as possible, and hope that ach one will constitute himself n agent for the Friend, and ive us a generous clubbing. A ttle effort, bretheren, and you an do us a great deal of good. e Central Presbyterian is ro uble for the following: “On tmas-eve night, little Fred up his stocking, and pinned on a piece of paper bearing iscription, “I’he Lord lov- cheerful giver.” That boy nake his mark. Within the walls of the Ox ford Cemetery are buried the re mains of many noble souls. Yet a stroll through the grounds can not fail to convince any one that hogs, and perhapsother stock,are permitted to roam in there at will. Should not the earth where in sleep departed friends be hold more sacred? The Supreme Court of the United States has decided that the fiimous Civil Eights Bill was unconstitutional. To attempt to force people to eat togeth. r, travel together, attend the same schools, &c., is as foolish as it is con'.emptable, and we are truly glad that the question has been perpetually cettled. Mr. B T. Tucker, of Vance county, has recently built a wing to Ms residence 16 by 16 feet and one and a half stories high. He tells us that all the weather boards and shingles used for this purpose were gotten from one tree, a gigantic pine that graw upon his premises, and that there was left unused one cutoftlie tree. This is another illustration of the value of our forests.. Brother MlFs, of the Oxford Or phans’ Friend, thinks all ministers of the Gospel ought to shave &c. &c.— Wilmington Star. Well, we do not propose to argue the above question, the |jairry appendage to man is as God has created him. But we do propose to enter our prevtest against the pi’evailing practice of chewing tobacco,as is so frequent, ly and so humiliatingly witnessed by our minieters, even while oc- copying the sacred desk of Al mighty God. D. L. C. Ecv. Dr, Burrowp, pastor of Freeman Street Baptist Church, Norfolk, Virgijiia, } reached on the 14th October, an appropriate sermon on the removal of the Confederate dead. 1 le took for his texi, Gen. 28 : 6, “In thy choice of our sepulchres bury the dcad.’^ We make tlic following extract: “Sarah the beloved wife of Abralip.m was lead- She died anjongetrangors far from her na tive home. She could not then be burried in the tomb of her fa thers. Strangers generously of fered Abraham a burial place, but he could not consent to ac cept it as a charity, he would se cure d title to it as his own per sonal property and insisted upon making it his own by purchase, lie would not leave his honored dead to lie in a strangers sepul- chie.’’ Tho following poem, writ ten by Mr. John H. Bonner, of Washington, North Caroli na, was read by Gov. Jar . is on tho occasion of the re-hur> ial of ihe North Carolina dead from Arlington: At rest among their own— Rest to bo broken never— Their folded flag lor them out- blort'n N -) moi e, forever. They did not think to come o silently —so late— When, 8tep;.)ing to the sounding drum, They left the State. They though}, to see again The loved ones kissed through tears, Not in the trenches of the slain 'J’o lie for years. But lips tiiev kissed grew old. And ej'es that v-ept grew blind, And bc’.rts that could bub break, lay cold By grief enshrined. And spirits veiled in wo. Looking toward l ie’s west. Were Cilled in tenderness unto Eternal rest. They came not—but they come, A vanquished, faithful few, la silence, and are welcomed home In silence too. i'heir place of burial is Hallowed by woman’s prayers, A nobler epitaph than this Could not be theirs. MISCELLANEOUS. The postmaster at Perilla.Teim., receives a salary of five cents a year, the smallest paid to any (;m ployee of the Government. “The United States will be ex porting sugar within ten years” is the prediction o^‘ Dr. Collier, late Chemist of the Agricultural Bu reau.—Times-Star. We should have all our commun ications with men as in the pres ence of God, and with God as in the presence of men. God cannot be enjoyed but as he is loved, nor loved but as h(3 is known, nor known but by Christ, nor by Christ but as revealed to the heart by the Spirit. ff you shift on to the shoulders of another the burden that belongs to you, you vill find at last that you have also surrendered to him your crown. Let your religion be seen. Lamps do not talk, but they do shine. A light-house sounds no drum, it beats no gong; yet far over the waters its friendly light is seen by the mariner. A schoolboy says that when his teacher undertakes to show him “what is what,’ he only finds out which is s-*’itch. Yale College has had a large bequest from the late Henry Far- man, of New Haven. The rich in the North are quite apt to donate a part of their 'ortune to educa tion and benevolent institutions. It is not often the case in the South. A curiosity in Irwin county, Ga., is a large pine tree with two dis tince bodies and only one top. The two trunks grew out of the ground about five feet from each other, but at forty feet high grew together, and from thence made . nly one tree and one top. There is a county in this State whose entire real and personal property is returned for taxation at $539,000, and we (have it from good authority that five million dollars in cash—or nearly ten times the listed value of all the properly iu the county —has been offeretl for a single piece of prop erty in said county.—Eal. Visitor. Tlie gentle grace of the mother lives in thedaughter long after her head is pillowed iu the dust of death, and the fatherly kindness finds its echo in ihe nolility and courtesy of sous who come to wear his mantle and to fill his place. Keep your promise to the letter, be prompt and exact, an 1 it will save you much trouble and car ■ through life, and win you the res pect and trust of your friends. Many turn to God in the day of trial with prayers and lameuta tions who never think to pray iu their times of prosperity. They treat God as some treat his chil dren here—running to them iu their distresses, but passing them without recognition iu the day of prosperity. “What influence has the moon on the tide?” the teacher asked of John Henry. And John Henry said it depen ded on what was tied. If it w*ere a dog, it made him bowl; and if it vrere a gate, it untied it ju.st as soom as a cow or a young man came along. There is no doubt as to wlio should wear the dunce-cap iu that school. Not long ago, a getlemaii who was connected with the direction of a public school paid a visit to the class roora.s. While he was in one of the rooms, a book was plac ed in his hands, and he was re quest'd to examine the class. Tiie word “inheritance” occur ring in the verse, the questioner asked one of the boys : “ vv'hatis patrimony? ’ “Something left by a father.” “Good I VV'hat would you call it if left by a mother?” “Matrimony.” John Minge, M. D., Berkely, Va., June 25t1i 1854, says: ‘Tt i's with pleasure that I assure yoti of ' lie great benefit I have received personallv from the use .of Beckwith’s Anti Dy.speptic Pills; and their happy eftect in my own person ]'‘dme to use them in an ex tensive practice near Mobile, and al ways with decided benefit and \vitii re peated application for more of them, particularly in all cases proceedin r from indigestion.” For sale by all druggists at 35 cents per box.

The name of “Weed” seems to be destined to flourish perenially in Amer ica as the Synonym for success in one field >r another of glorious achieve ment. Capt. Columbus Weed, who came over iu the “Mayflower iu 1620,” and settled iu Grauville County, North Carolina, and fell fighting gallantly hand to hand with the famous Indian Chief, Lord Wellington, at King’s irouiitain, was the famous marksman of half a century ago, of whom it is told that a Coon at which he was aiming came down, and surrendered at discre tion. Just as the shoddy.,, rebuilt, and old-style laney-pi'ice Sewing ^Machines do when the “New Hartford viacUine,” with that Bail-Bearing Balance Wheel gets after them. Now, as if to prove, that Peace hath its victories no less re nowned than war, the name of “Weed” is imperishably associated with tiie lat 'St, most perfect, and most popular Sewing Machine yet developed on lAis (hiutiiieut.
