AY v e are sorry to hcai* that 00. last Thursday night during a storm, the barn of Peter Ilughes was fired by light* niug and bin ned. Peter is a one armed soldier, and the loss is severe oft him, but with lils pluck he will recover it sooner than many who have twt> arms. Ho discovered the fire in time to savdi his wagons and some other larming implements, but his entire stock of hay was consumed, with othei property. AV'e hope his loss is not so severe as we fear it is» B. J- Wicker will not let the change of affairs set the Shops interfere with his prospect of building there, a.suita ble tut gallery. We must have our pic lurcs if they move the eutire Railroad, aud he is determined to give as an op portunity of getting them.

They certainly emit an un pleasant odor, which wo should thkik calculated to produce almost auythiug bad. They should be destroyed for this, if nothing else. Wccall the atteutionofour town authorities to these trees and bushes that are rapiily spreading all over town and ask them to declare a war of extermination. Mr Johu Ivljipp lias moved back* and opened his hotel again. The ringing of the bell again greets our jears with its familiar sound, and reminds as of the time of day. That old bell is a sort of town clock, and when Mr. Klapp went to the Shops and left it, with never a oue twitch the rope, we missed it as much as wc would, had it been a veritable clock, for who wants to know what time it is ou ly breakfast dinner and supper; and of the time for these it rlways told yon.

Sentinel ! M(isc-Convention in ALAMANCE. LAIIG E ATTKSDA SCE. CANDIDATE NOMINATED AND MADE UNANIMOUS. The in ass-County-Con venl ion of Ala mance met in the court house in Gra ham, Saturday, July 3d, 1875 ilnd organ ized by callingCapt?B. K. White to the chair. The Chairman having sot forth the objects of the meeting in a brief pointed speech, thq organization of the meeting was perfected by electing E. S. Parker and 1). F. Long Secretaries. Ou motion of Dr. Wilson the following resolutions were adopted: Ist, That'%U who take part in this Convention, shall abidu the nomination. 2nd, That no one be allowed t\j de cline a nomination. The names of the following gentlemen were submitted, as suitable to represent the County in the Convention: Capt. E. S. Parker, Maj. William Patterson, James Ncwliu, Esq., and Dr. Julin A. Moore. The representatives of the townships thereupon retired to ballot for the nom inees; according to the arrangement agreed upon at the mass-meeting of June sth nit., which was as lollows: Every one present at the meeting favor ing the same, shall be allowed to vote: each township shall be allowed 25 votes* The tirst ballot gave the nominees these votes in whole numbers: Capt. E. P. Parker, 188; Maj. Patterson, 7 y James Ncwlin, Esq.. 50; Dr. Moore, 28. [Uefore the counting of the vote, Capt. Parker's place as Secretary was supplied, at his request, by David Kerr, Esq.] On motion the nomination of Capt, Parker was made unanimous by the Convention. The nominee having been repeatedly called responded in a calm, deliberate and logical speech of about forty-five minutes, showing how the prcsent'Con stitution was forced upon us, noticing pointedly a few of its many defects and illustrating (lie impossibility of its amendment thoroughly, except by Con vention: ... „ Although the Captain was not ambi. tiouS for the nomination, yet heexpress ed his determination to canvass thor oughly and discuss the issues involved freely and iairly. Everyth.ng iu Alamance betokens success. One of the largest and most intelligent mass-conven(/ions ever as sembled in Graham met in the Court House to day. No dissatisfaction is heard of; 110 dis appointed candidates are lizard to mur mur. All seem willing to acquiesce in the call of the majority. Col.iloltso prominently spoken ot for the nominee lor some time past, asked his friends to withdraw his name from the conven tion as his business would be impaired' it elected. But offered Lis services, by canvass if liccessary, in order to show his interest in the success of the party and the nominee. This is the spirit manifested by the large meeting at Gra ham to-day. Alamance will elect Capt. Parker by a handsome majority. Oil motion of Dr. Alex. Wilson the thanks of the. meeting were voted to the etiairman and Secretaries, and the proceedings directed to be furnished the ALAMANCE ULKANKK for publica tion. ]J. F. WHITE, Chairm'n.

Sharpe writes of a remarkable bail storm in Davie aud Davidson coun ties the 12th of June. lie says; The largest stoics I heard of were at Josiah Byerley's a mile east of Yadkin College in Davidson county. Mr. Bycrly is a man of good judgement and undoubted veracity. He told me that stones fell iu his yard larger round than the.mouth of a pint cup and which measured 11.1 inches in circumference; the yird was covered with stones the size of a goose egg. At the College the glass windows were broken and the roof of one house literally riddled with the stones. Much damage was done the wheat on planta tions. about the neighborhood of Ful ton. V- j A DESTRUCTIVE FIBE.-TIIC Willmington Journal says: We regret to learn of a terrible disaster which occurred at Laur. inburg, in Richmond county, early yes terday morning by which a large amount ot valuable property was destroyed a i large part of the business portion of the town having been laid in ashes. The alarm was given at 2 o'clock and the lire was discovered emanating from Mr. C. T. Willis' store on the South side of the depot and about one hundred yards removed from it.—From this build ing it spread to Messrs. McCaskill & McLean's store and thence to Mr. Dun dy's hotel aud dwelling, Mr. F. D. Capp's stoic, Messrs. Morgan and fc Bryant's store, aud Mr. W. IF. Hum phrey's store, all of which were des troyed, togetner with the warehouse ot the Carolina Central Railway, ten box cars, two flat care, and two coaches. The estimated loss is between $40,000 and $50,000, not more than half of which was covered by insurance. The only theory formed in regard to the ori gin of the fire is that it was jucendiary. The wind was blowing ft-oftl the South west when the fire was first discovered but afterwards shifted to the North west. 2'lie Citizens, both white and black, all fight, but were unable to check the flames until the Hbove buildings, with much of their contents had been destroyed, Fortu- I nately, the railroad shops, which are I Icated at Laurinburg, and which were ' very near the scene of the fire, escaped destruction. SAD CASE OF DROWNING. —From a correspondent to the Wilmington Jour nal we learn: That one day week be. lore last Miss Hester Plpen of Tarboro ; went In the country a tew miles to Mr. John Statons ou a visit to his daughter Miss Dora. These two young ladies were affectionate friends. In the eve ning they in company with others went to an ice pond, about a mile from the house to fish and bathe. There wer® other ladies preseut and of tho party. Mist Pippcn and Miss Staton were holding each other by the hand, wad ding and sporting in the water, which was not more than knee deep, untij they came lo a large and deep ditch ( of whi«h they were ignorant. After tlicv had made the fatal step, Miss Sta ton, who could swim well, got out, but with a devotion and heroism as rare as it is beautiful, could not see her friend struggling for life. She plunged again into the deep water in the vain hope of rescuing her Mend. But, alas I to gether these two sank, to rilb no more. The other girls ran to the house to obtain aid, but it came all too late.— The bodies were found, and those pres ent did all in their power to resuscitate them, but without success. They were bjth young ladies just grown, and Miss Pipen was at Innic 011 vacation irom school. GUILFORD COUNT?. —Convention for Guilford county, to nominate candidates for delegates to tho Constitutional Con vention, met in Greensboro the 3d July, and was organized by calling Col. J. I. Scales to the the chair, and requesting L. Swaira and Dr. Ector to act as Sec retaries. Seventeen townships repre sented, one not Col. J. A. Gilmer and Dr. Mendenhall were nominated The best of feeling prevailed, and sucl cess is insured. EFFECTS OF THE USURY LAW.—A farmer of our acquaintance offered to deposit near three thousand dollars at ,s>ank, but the bank would pay only four per cent. The farmer would take six but refused four. Two of his neighbors came in and borrowed most of his mon ey at 8 per cent., and there is enough left for two more neighbors who are in want. And that's the way the usury law works.— Sentinel.

HALIFAX COLNTV.— At the last term of the the Superior Court for this couu tv, the grand jury reported to His Hon or S. W. Watts an allowance made for extra services by the Hoard of Commis sioners from Ist of September, 1874, to the 11 th of May, 1875, a little more than eight months, and their report showed that the slim of $3,285.00 had been al lowed for extra services. Of this amount $635.00 was allowed one J. E. O'Hara, a negro lawyer for his services. The grand jury at the close of the report said: " Owing. 1o the largeness of these al lowances the grand jury felt it their duty to call your attention to them, that you may take such steps as may be nec essary to cause conouiy in the disburse ments of the county's funds." It is hardly necessary to add that the republican majority in Halifax is large. A wood train fell through the bridge across Long Creek, nine miles from Charlotte, on the Western Division ot the Carolina Central Railroad one day last week. 'There were on tho train an engineer, conductor, and twelve colored train hands. The engine and cars fel| through the biidge, as it parted about tin middle, a distance of about fifty feet to the ground. Two of tho train hands, John Mc&ce and Prir.ce Wood*, "•"ere killed instantly and seven others hurt, some of them dangerously. The bridge has long bden considered un?nfe. The engine is a perfect wreck. The bridge is of latiied kind, two spans about two hundred feet long, and has been held together by bars of iron, and its unsafe condition has been notorious to all connected with tin road. There is a responsibility resting with some one. Much use is attempted to be made ot the amendments to the Convention bill offered in the house by Mr. Candler. These amendments, however good they may have been, were voted down tor the reason that if accepted, they would have defeated the bill. They must of necessity have gone back to the Senate, and that body had lost the constitution al majority necessary to pass the bill, a number of the members having gone home. The amendments were intro duced under the party lash for tho ex press purpose of defeating the bill. Mr Candler was so far obedient to discip line that'he introduced the amendments, yet he had the independence, after his amendments were voted down, to vote for the bill, and 110 one of the Demo crats was more pronunced than he in admitting tho necessity of Constitution al reform. Let his party make the most of his amendments, but let it also re m Mitlcr his final vote. News. T c Board of County Commission ers of New Jlanover are holding impor tant meetings, as the Wilmington pa pers inform us. The radical Board hired a radical negro, named Smyth, to do some clerical work for which it appears he charged $1,300, and the work not done. The money has been paid. One Jaiues \Vil«on a member |>f the Board is raising a fuss.

There arc grave suspicions of a fonl murder in Panther Branch township in Wake«ounty. In last February Scott Partin left his home with his wife and infant child for the stated purpose of visiting a relative in the neighborhood. He lived at his fathers, and on the same night he returned there, stating that he had a vehicle Mid was going to Goldsbo ro. lie took his trunk and left. He was seen twice that night alone, and is said to have been in the neighborhood for several days afterwards, but his wifes parents could learn nothing of their daughter. Efforts have been made to find them but nothing can be heard. A short time ago, Partin was again seen skulking in the neighbor, hood, which aroused tho suspicious of the community anew. Seftrch has been made to find some clue to the mystery, and an intense desire prevails through, out the community, to find out what hus become of" the mother and child- C'itizejis from tho neighborhood say that circumstances with almost certain ty points to a foul murder. Thecoun" try is to be thoroughly searched. Par" tin's conduct o his wife had not been pleas&ut. We condense ftom Raleigh Hews. * Col. S. L. Freemont dispatches us as follows trom Charlotte, relative to tho recent accident on the Carolina Central. "The accident on the Western Divis ion of this Railway was caused by tlic train being thrown from the track and in that condition running entirely a. crois the bridge. Tho bridge was strong enough to carry three times nhc Weight of this trn|n and was safe so far as tho management beleived. The same accident might have happened to any bridge. Journal.

The "Washington Republican tho Grant organ, devotes a doublo-lcaded leader of two and a half colunuu to the extermination of Vice-President TFilson as a statesman, as a Republican, us a politician, as a presiding officer, and as a Presidential candidate. It insists that he never had any sense; that he has lately lost what little he had, and that he is one of ihc most .cowardly of lead ers, and a whining alarmist. The Ashvillo Citizen pronounces the statement in tho Pioneer of that place? that Maj. Marcus Erwln would canvass the West against Convention, a false alarm. It says: ''Tho Major will do no such thing, bu/ upon the contrary has all along been in favor of Convention, as many other good Republicans are. Don't put up false alarms, but stick to your civil rights platform." Boat races in the river opposite the city arc indulged in by the good people of Wilmington; a few rowing and a great many looking on. One race al* ready and others expected soon. It must be warm forilic young men at the oars, if it is anything like as hot there as it is here. Maj. W. A.
