C., TUESDAY, JULY 16, Intemperance of Ladies. 'Tis said, and with sad truth, that intem perance among women is rapidly increasing. Among the lower class the frequent deaths from this cause are of alarming occurrence ; but not only, to the lower wards is this evil confined, for up among the brownstones of Belgravia Madame sips her champagne punch with rare delight, and though at first confining herself to dainty wines at lunch or the sparkling goblet at dessert, the quickening nppetito becomes too soon a craving passion, and on the p'.ea ot delicate health the glass is repeated at shortening intervals. Wives and mothers and their growing families, with household appeaJ- iii tor instruction ami example, allow this f f, - . .t latal weakiiess.to swav with fierce Btrencrth tllLfamily ties, responsibilities, and allhe higher impulses are engulfed in one fatal ruin. Briliant women crowd this list, and of them many heartrending histories have been written. Quite recently an inquest was held over the body of a wealthy widow, about fifty years of age, who died suddenly. For sometime she had indulged in this love for strong drink, and in the evidence it ap peared that she consumed one gallon of brandy every week, besides indulging in champagne and other liquors. She had all the comforts that wealth could bring, as an income of twelve thousand dollars per year amply provided for her. But nothing re strained her, and at last this insane thirst completely destroyed her. Xew York Herald.

Offending the God of day, Apollo, she saw her twelve children struck down by Lis fiery t-haf.s the first cases ot coup de sohll Ave" read of in history. . The same diety must have re ceived some mortal offence at the hands of New Yorkers, considering the active man ner in which he has nlied his bow during the last few days. Whether the rain of fire that descended on the Cities of the Plain could have :t fleeted the thermometer, or whatever substitute they had for it in tnose days, to any greater extent than the t.1,,.,,11,,. ', e , . i i rleadlr heat o the present Julv i I - , J , i a ais-i iion mat Hunertne ew ioik would be m ciined to dispute. But the effects are as fatal as the storm of bullets on the heights of Fredericksburg, or the leaden hail that swept through the orchards of Weisseu burg a couple of years ago. Men,- women and children have been struck down in scores, many never to rise again, and the death list at the Coroners' office hourly in creases. Such fierce persistent heat was never experienced before in this city, not even when the most rabid political conven tions met and wrangled. Already one hundred and six deaths testify to the ter rible power of the midsummer sun, and it would be impossible to calculate the num ber of those who have suffered from the same cause to a degree which may lead to death or the wreck of constitution. The principal thoroughfares have become like a field of battle men falling in every direc tion and ambulances in constant requisition. And the attendant symptoms of such a death arc no less terrible than when con tending armies meet. Often we find de lirium, screams as if in intense agony, con vulsons that distort the body like a potent poison, and an expression on the face that would make the most hardoned turn away; then the final convulsive shudder, and the victim passes the dark river. In other cases the symptoms are like those that at tend death by cold. Natural sleep is suc ceeded by the fatal coma or stupor that pre sages death. X. Y. Herald. EXECUTOR'S NOTICE.

Te Old North State. j WLat a Xorthern Republican says of Her. j From the Raleigh es. i The following letter we find in the Bing- ded for several months in "Warren" county, and for on or twatnontha in this city, dur ing which time lie-lias traveled in several sections of the State. He is a Northern re publican, and, though differing with rs in politics, he speaks plainly his honest and plain couvictionA of the advantages North Carolina present to Northern immigrants. Ralkigh, N. C., Jane 1, 1872. ditor Jiepitblican : When L left home in January, l promiseu several oi my friends that I would write an occasional letter for your paper, tebiug how I wa8 getting along, and giving my impressions of this, the Old North State. Up to the present time, I have not been able to undertake the task, but thanks to this delightful climate, my health has so much improved that I hope to fulfill my promise during the three months that I re main here, before I am able to set my face homeward and return to my home in Bing hamton. I am very much pleased with the climate of North Carolina, situated as it is between the Northern and Southern States. We escape the paralizing cold of the north ern winters, and the extreme heat of the Southern States. The northern people who have been here a number of seasons, say that it is never as warm here as it is often at the North and 1 learn also from Profes sor Kerr, State Geologist, that the average temperature during the summer months is never as high as in New York. We have already had more perfect days during the months of Apiil and 'May than we usually have during the whole season at home. Cases of sunstroke are never known here. I must say that the great natural advan tages of this beautiful ttate made me cap tive, and that the future greatness of North Carolina is beyond the power of the most gifted pen to depict. This county isof geit natural beauty, unlimited resorces, rich in sumhine, fri i s, flowers, cotton, corn, tobacco, cattle, min erals, and great water, with splendid cen tral points fi.r manufacturing purposes. No country can be found on this broad earth, to furnish a more delightful home than this, which for fertility of soil, serenity and heal thf nlness of climate and variety ot products is unsurpased. I shall cei tainlv come here to live if I get my health, (I). V.) I'thuik no Southern State in the charac ter of its people, the variety of its noil and j products, is so litt:e understood at the North as this. The ecoirraphv tells us that "this State . ls . .i turpentine." And we et the impress on iat only the gloomy forests ot pine, and the dismal swamps meet the eve of the m . . traveler. This is not the case, through the northern half of the State, nor from this point west, not a pitch foret is to be found. But the land is devoted to the produc s I have mentioned above. The system of farming practiced bv this people has done much to give us an unfair I Opinion Ol ine Miengui oi me wu. 1 ne i- . i . i .1 :i n. j never seed their lands with grasses, nor ro tate their crops, but run the same held year after year, until it is worn out, and then abandon it to be burnt up by the sun, or the soil to bu washed away by the heavy rains. So, instead ol the green fields which we see at the north, even iu the poorest sec tions, here only the barren sand hill meets the eye, or the abandoned fields covered with scrub oak or small pines. Northern people must come here and revolutionize this system of farming Come and raise grain and stock. Treat your land just as you do at the North, put back a part of what you take off, and this land will pro duce four times as much as our farm lands in York State. I visited a plantation a few 'weeks mucc, and observing a tine patch of clover "in one corner of a large field, I remarked to the owner that it would be a fine thing to have 1 his whole farm seeded in that way. "Why," j he replied, "I have been righting that patch j of clover for the past twenty years. It is ! the pest of my life. I got seeded, there ! fiom some Northern hay that I bought, and I cannot destroy it." It was vain to try to convince mm mat suen a coai oi cioer com. nee nm tut-.i a coat ,u w. . turned in all over his farm would b? worth ten times the value of the commercial fer-! tilizers he was using to produce an ordinary i crop.

Still it is a snbjccCcaf iqt . - I . v - Here all our affections center, and whereTer .we journey though mid scenes of uplendor -our minds return to homes of our chili hood. " ' - Some peop'.e seem to think that beautiful homes are only within reach of the wealthy; Indeed, a person paid to me on one occaum when I was abvpeating this very subject,; "It is useless to talk of poor people xstskhig their homes pleasant for their children; oa ly those who hav money ran da it.. , ; - This is a falsa 1 idein my opinion Perhaps is may be impossible for the very poor, in cities; but 1 am sure that peoplt living in the country, who have spare time,: and the inclination, can not only make their homes comfortable, but evon beautiful. Though the house bo old and innocent cf paint, by training lovely climbing rose, and the fragrant Wistaria over it, it mxf be made to rival iu beauty soma grandly built house. Though a nicely cut Uwn: may be impossible, yet if the yard be nest and adorned w ith beds of choice flowen, it will be almost u.h beautiful. Pretty little bird houses among the tree, where the different thirds may build lheir nests aud furnish music to delight the air, add much to the interest of home. ..Them are various ways of making these, some to simple that any one able to use hammer and nails might make them. A piece of timber, with the bark on, saved, pointed at the top, and boards nailed on to imitate a roof, with holes bored iu the sido about an iuch and a half or two inches in diameter, then thtf whole mounted on a pole about six or eight : feet high, will make a very pretty, and quite simple, bird house. Still more attrac tive, but more difficult of construction, is a small house made of rough boards, ingothic style; covered with rustic work, withgoth ic windows for the entrence of the birds. Others a:e made by taking an old nalt box, cheese hoop, or something of tha sort, and covering the top with a board fortho roof round or sqare to suit the fancy and mak iug openings in the side for doors. Around' the bottom of the house should always be a place for the birds to alight, and where tuod may be placed for them. Such things neem small iu themselves, but they furuuh pleasure, and sen e to give us interests ia our homes. ..... Getting Married. " ' Girlr, don t think you have reached the sum atid substance of earthly bliss when you can write Mrs. before your name. To be sure, it is all very proper, as well. 4 pleasant, to have a house and husband of s ow n, provided that one is old enough , . , . " .., .. . ... . ...

To most girls, their wedding day ia day of emancipation from care ; a joyful begin ning of a new tate of existence; of lift without a shade of grief or aught to mar iti perfect harmony. It is so pleasant to b the one idol of a true heart, no wonder that the young girl sees everything through rote colored spectacles. But, after all, it is an well to remember that others before her have entered the matrimonial state, and found it to be one of care, doubt and anxiety. And they were women as good as the best. It is this mistake that leads so many women wrong at the commencement of married life. They take no thought of their duties toward another, nor remem ber that all erring cieatures, and their idol no less clay than others, only that their love has made it gold. They expect freedom from care in married life, .but they have on ly given up their freedom, and commenced life's cares iu earnest. Then, after th first excitement of being "the bride," and ob herved of ll observers," has passed atirar, comes the settling down to real, actuf life, and the young wife musts needs Warn to eat, drink, sleep, dress, visit, aud receive visitors, are a part of her duties an before; while, in addition to her domestic cares she must learn to adapt her temper and dispo sition to atiotherh views, ami learn the beautiful lesson of self-denial, if she C-jH'etl pel feet peace.
