The protracted meeting at the Meth odist church at La Grange closed Thursday with eight additions in all. Roxboro Neva: Judge Clark proved himself to the people of Person, as he does everywhere, to be a terror to evil doers. The railroad meeting last Tuesday wasa grand success.

Asheville Advance: The petition for ;i local option election tor Asheville, presented to the commissioners last Monday, contained the names of 291 persons, or G9 in excess of one-fourth of the registered voters of the citv. But of the 291 petitioners, the names of only 181 of ithem appear on the registration books. The commission ers, upon the advice of their attorney, decided that the registration books were the only method they had of determing the questions,, who were qualified voters, and what number constitutes one-fourth of such voters, and declined to order the election, but adjourned over until to-day at 3 o'clock to give the advocates of the elec ion an oppoitumty to secure the additional names required. Lenoir Topic : On last Tuesday, du ring the thunderstorm, a thunderbolt struck the house of Mr. Cole Bowman, uVi r Iivaq near "Ptra. filla alitirmrrli the house has a lightning rod, and Mr. Bownran and four of his children were stricken. The hair on all of them was singed, the under clothing on the baby was burned off of it, the shoes on the teeter Mr. Bowman an 1 one of his. son were torn to pieces, and the skin was torn from the whole of one side of his ten year old daugh ter. This latter is in a critical con dition, and is not expected to live, but the rest are all right. We are glad tj know that the Gwyn-Harper Manu factuiing Company at Patterson are finding the popularity of their fabrics to be increasing. They filled one order lately that called for 4,000 yards of their jeans and cassimeres, and 200 blankets. Asheville Citizen : The majority of the registered voters of Waynesville to day voted a bonded debt of $8,000 for street improvement. G. H. Sruathers was elected mayor, and J. M. Moody, W. B.

Hallor, trestle builder, and employed in repairing the tres tle across Gash's Creek, four miles east of Asheville, fell from the trestle to the ground, a distance of 35 1-2 feet. No one saw him fall, and it is not known how the accident happened. Dr. J. A. Burroughs iwas immediately sent for and rendered all the aid pos sible.

Watkins died at his home in Albe marle on Tuesday of last week, aged 39 years. He was for many years a promising young minister of the N. .0. Conference, failthfnl, earnest, and devoted. About two years ago. on account of failing health, he was superannuated and located at Albe marle, the former home of his wife, who was a, Miss flearne.

Enthusiastic Reception of Mr. Iavis at Savannah. Savannah, GA.,May 3. An ovation was tenaerea jrresiaeni uavis ia&i night,sueh as never before witnessed in Savannah. It was a spontaneous out burst of affection for their chieftain on whom had been laid all their burdens and had no significance beyond that. His arrival last night brought out the entire city, soldiery and citizens: en masse and the passage from the depot to the residence of Mr. H. M. Comer, a prominent merchant, whose guest he is, was a. triumphal tour, un reacmng Comer s residence it was difficult to make passage to the portico through the dense crowd. Finally, accompan ied by tke Mayor of the city and oapt. Wheaton, on the Uhatnam artillery, he ascended the stairs, and in response to the enthusiastic calls spoke briefly as follows: 1 want to thank you lor the mani testation of your kindness. It con- vinces me mat our cause is not lost, but that it lives in the hearts of ,the sons of the patriots of 1776. We are now at peace with the whole world, and I earnestly hope that we shall re- mam so, but to remain at peace with the world does not involve the aban donment of principles or the denial of truth. i It is thus that 1 receive your mani festation, and it is for this I thank you. As he closed these remarks the ex- pression "Kioa Diess you," went up from thousands ot throats. To-day Chatham Artillery centen nial was inaugurated in grand pomp and brilliancy. Sixty odd companies, nearly three thousand men, were in line, and twenty thousand spectators. The city was brilliantly and profusely decorated. The grand military pageant was re viewed by the Governor and his staff. President Davis was not at the review but in a carriage with Gen". Alexander Lawton, Gen. Lafayette McLaws and Mr. H. M. Comer, his host, and had a fine view of the procession, which was composed of troops from Georgia, South Carolina, .Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Indiana, Missouri and Iowa. State flags, Confederate battle flags, and national flags intermingled. It was a sight to make every American proud of the stability and permanency of this great republic, and the loyalty cf-her subjects, who vet revere the memories of their own section. To-night a grand banquet is in pro gress at which Mr. Davis was present but did not speak. To-morrow Mr. Davis will make an address at Chatham Academy to the children of the city. Mr. Davis will probably remain here until Thursday, when he will go direct to bis nome. Un W ednesday a public reception will be tendered him at the Exchange hotel, giving an opportunity to all citizens to pay their respects. TERRIBLE STORMS. Hail and Ram in Missouri and Kansas Immense Damage to Property. Washington, May 7. Dispatches n -m - irom various points in Missouri and Kansas report remarkable Storms of rain and hail yesterday. At Osage City it began about 11 a. m. and continued for thirty minutes, until the ground was covered with hail stones, and in many places they were piled up seyeral inches deep. Eighty per cent, of all exposed win dow glass on the north side of houses was broken. The storm came from the northeast, and did not extend more than a mile west of the Santa Fe road at this place. At Lmporia, Kansas, a waterspout passed down Jacob's creek. A farmer named Jacobs saw the storm coming: and gatnered Ms wife and two chil- J Jl 1 V it- s 1 i uren anu nis orotner tjnaries in a wagon and started to flee, bat they were overtaken by the torrent, which swept away the vehicle and occupants Mrs. Jacobs and the younger child were drowced, while Jacobs nearly pensneo in endeavoring to save them. The brother saved himself and the other child. A A. T7! A 1 A A TT T 1 m .i ron ocoir, jvansas, LamD s ice dam broke and the immense body of water, uniting with the already swol len imcK Kun, rushed down the val ley. A house occupied by Sarah Brown, a widow, was struck by the torrent and swept about one hundred yards down the stream, where it lodged among the trees. Mrs. Brown and four of her children were in at the time. The water rose rapidly around it to the depth of several feet. The mother held her little six month's old infant in her arms above the water, leaving her older children to care for themselves. She suddenly noticed that her 5 year old boy was drown ing, and in attempting to save him, the infant slipped from her arms and was drowned before aid could reach it. The remainder of the family were rescued. At Springfield, Mo., the damage of an sorts is estimated above $125,000. No life was lost, but 35 or 40 families were flooded out. Some of them were taken to high ground by men on horseback. A STORY OP A RAZOR AND AN AXE. . Sandusky, O., May 5.

The engraving is superb in the display of art, clear and vivid in outline, and the grouping of: the portraits at once convince the mind that the artist possesed an originality of conception never before equalled. The Historic Gray Uniform, the Gold Buttons, Stars and Braid on Collar, (denot ing rank), stand out in bold relief from the beautiful back ground, each portrait is made in imitation of a large Imperial Cabinet Photograph (4 x 6 inches,) distinct in every respect from the portraits surrounding it, yet so superior in conception, execution and harmony of colors, that it defies criticism. The Commanders represented on the engraving are : Robert E. Lee, T. J. (Stonewall) Jackson, G-. T. Beauregard, Fitzhugh Lee, Joseph E. Johnston, A. S. Johnston, Stirling Price, J. A. Early, J. B. Hood, R. S. Ewell, James Longstreet, Wade Hampton, W. J. Hardie, A. P. Hill. J. E. B. Stuart, Braxton Bragg, E. Kirby Smith, J. C. Breckinridge, Leonidas Polk ' and Admiral Raphael Semmes. . Only a Armies of few of these great heroes are now living, and all of them were great as Commanders of the the Confederacy, and they thus became' endeared to the hearts of the oeoDle of the South. Every Confederate Veteran served under one or more of these Gallant Leaders, and they and every true Southern Patriot should possess one of these elegant souvenirs. The engraving is appropriate for the parlor, library, hall or office, and will compare favorably with the finest paintings. The Portraits are Printed on one sheet of Heavy Plate Paper, beautifully Tinted (ready for framing), sizer22 x 29 inches, and will be sent to any address on receipt of Price, $2 OO.

To the MembefH of the Valley Mutual Life ; Association of Virginia. i The Valley Mutual Insurance Company was organized about eight years ago, by some leading business men in the city of Staunton, for the purpose of furnishing reliable insurance at as low rates as pos sible. Its success has been'unprecedented, far exceeding that ot any Company ever before organized in the South It has is sued over 8,000 policies, aggregating over $15,C00,000 of insurance now in. force. It has met all of its losses promptly in the past, and is abundantly able to do so in the future, and is now in a splendid finan cial condition, having a reserve of $1C8,000 well invested. It has paid out to widows and orphans over $500,000, and the records at Raleigh will show that it has the largest income and pays more taxes than any Company operating in the State, with one exception. In verification of the above statements, I refer to the National Banks, and any of the leading business men of Staunton, Va. Notwithstanding these facts, maliciom and designing persons are going through the State defaming the Company and trying to destroy its usetulness. I call on our policy-holders to stand firm, and give me the names of the slanderers, and the special charge they make ("Liberal terms made with Agents. Address CARTER BERKELEY, Manager, Raleigh, N.
