Who else has some thing in the agricnltural line, good enough to base a challenge upon? Let us have a little fair yet this year. Our countyman, T» M. Holt, was bupnimously re-elected President of the North Caro'ina Agricultural Society. No uian could have given more ttui* Versa! satisfaction than he has done. No stronger evidence, of a Jttst appre ciation of his labors, could have been gircn than was evidenced iu his uuani* tnous re-election.

Every thing pawed off quietly, and those who attended are we suppose, at this wri ting, (Saturday) at home or at least have had time to get there. We hope they are a>l satisfied. We are and can patiently wait for the next show. SUDDEN DEATH. —At his home, near this place, en Wednesday evening last. Greene Andrews suddenly died. He Was well known throughout the couuty, .having been, constable and deputy Sheriff for a number of years, after* wards a magistrate in his township and at the time of liis death a mqjnber of the Board of County Commissioners • tor the county. Just previous to his death he had eaten a hearty supper, and after rising from the table, as was his custom be lighted his pipe, and sat down Jor his eveniug smoke. lie remarked, to some members of his family that he felt a Jfuttcring about tbe heart, and feared be was going to have one'" of bis "spells" and got op and took a seat on the bed, which stood in the room. In a few miuutes lie fell to the floor aud dkd almost instantly. He had had at tacks of what he supposed was heart disease before; upou one occasion, at least being stricken down by it, and it was doubtless to this be referred, when be said be feared be was going to have one of liis spells. He was some sixty-five years of age we suppose. He had raised a large ftiUly of children, mostly boys, whom be had settled around him, forming quite a little village. (Green Andrews was an industrious, bard working man and be raised his children to follow tbeir fathers example—such people build np a state aud make it great. He left surviving him aud to mourn bis loss, a wife, the mother of bis large fam ily of children, who bad been the part ner of his joys and sorrows torso long a time, seven children and some thirty grand-children. ' A GREAT OUTRAGE.— On last Tburs* day night, a negro by the name of Toby Foy, effected an entrance into the bed. room of one of the most highly respect able young ladies of our village. We have taken the pains to get the facts from the father of the young lady and know them to be true. The negro irisj and had been for some time in the em ploy of the father, and was in the habit of coming into the home in tnc morning to gel the keys to feed the stock. We mention this to show his familiarly with the premises. On the night in question, the father of the young lady had left home, as this negro supposed to begone "II "ight, or at least to a late hour. The young ladv its she thought, heard it noise in her room, and struck a light, thinking that she would find a (tog or cat, which had been accidentally shut up in there, but she discovered nothing. She was snOcring from head ache, and resth ss and she laid a couple of matches where she could reach them without rising trom the bed. Soon after this, about l i o'elook at niglifj she heard a noise which as .lie was, this time, satisfied was in the room.' She struck a match the light of which revealed this negr*. upon his a 1 Moiil's Hear the bed. She recognised him at once, and screamed at him to get out of there. Sho struck the second match, the first having gone out. the negro by this time having got upon his feet, She then ran screaming to her father's room, he had returned and gone to bed, the negro, discovering that he was at home, ran, making Ins egress from the room lil the same man ner he had made his ingress, through a window which he had raised and propt with a shingle. There can be 110 doubt of the horri ble crime this negro intended commit, ting. It is shocking to think of. The next morning, Alter an unsuccessful search during the night) a warrant wan issued for him, but he has eluded the officers. In this connection we wish to say this to the negroes: Crimes of the character, evidently contemplated by this Toby Foy are of frequent occur rence. Attempts to comthit them are also frequeut. The negroes can if tlioy Wish secure the arrest of all such crimi nals. They owe it to justice do it, and especially do they owe it to themselves as a class. The tiegt'O who aids Tobv Foy to escape) is thus endorsing his couduct, and encouraging such on the part of others, whether heso intends or not. And the nAgro who fails to lodge any information as to his Whereabouts, of which bj may be in possession, is likewise endorsing and encouraging this outrageous act of his. Negroes must get rid of the idea that because a criminal is a negro he is entitled to their sympathy, and Aid in escaping the consequences of his acts. The.v are citi zens and should act as such; and it they ever expect to rise in the estimation of mankind they will hasten to do so. Let them put their condemnation upon crime by whoever committed, and es pecially does the welfare of their own race demand this. .RECEIPTS FROM TIIK CIRCUSES.—' The tax upon circus exhibitons is SIOO bc lore the show opens and ten per cent, upon the gross receipts—five per cent, fjr State. Sheriff Alexander from thc|two circuses which were hero last week, re ceived for the State and eqnal amount lor the county, Cole paid $205 and Hows $319. The city recicved 1125 in tax from each of these shows, so that the total amount received by the city, county and State, from the two was s774 .—Charlotte Observer. We copy the above to Institute a com parison. Cole showed here twice to good houses, yet he only paid Deputy Sheriff McCulloch sl45 —$45 oil gross receipts.—lt would be hard to make us believe the gross receipts did not exceed $450. The city only charges s2o— the total amount paid in this county for taxes was only sl6f. This ten per cent, clause does net work. Better change it.—Greensboro Patriot. We copy the above to institute a com parison also. TVis same circus showed twice at Company Shops, ou the 21st, in the day to a full house and at night to very few. The statement of gross receipts was made out for the sheriff at 600,03, but the sberifl required the statement to be sworn to, and upon hesitation hinted at the possibility of de taining the whole thing, spotted ponies and all, whereupon, it was amended and sworn to at the figure of $944,50 the manager declaring that ours was the on ly sheriff in the State who hod re qnired the statement of gross receipts sworn to. So we beat Greensboro and near ly equaled Charlotte. Recently at Chicago, while the Mayor and others were toasting the President, Mayor Col Tin rose and proposed Grant's health, remarking that it would be probably the last time toey would bare the pleasure of drinking with Gen. Grant as president. This was a cool sockdolager to tbird term aspirations. But the President replied that as his term did no* expire until 1877, and he always visits Chicago once a year, be would meet them again, thus neatly dodging tbe is ma.—Morning Star. The Morning Star, learns that there is a report iii circulation to the effect that, in Richmond county, the father and mother of A family of four children, left them in charge of a negro woman, during a temporary absence, and upon their return fonnd all four of the ehid ren dead. The negro woman protes:ed her entire ignorance of any knowledge of what occasioned their deaths. She said she had boiled citbbagc for dinner of which the children site heartily and then sichatlcd and dfcdi shc was ask ed ifshe would eat of the cabbage, and declared her entire wlliugtiess to do 60. Whercupcrishe a»e heartily, and Very *oon she diedi Upon examination it was found that a small rattlestake had been cooked with the cabbage, which had been cooked without splitting, The snake had burrowed in the Cabbage doubtless. We regard the riimoi*u3 entirely im probable, as it has been demonstrated' if we mistake not, that the virus of 4he most poisonous reptiles may be swal* lowed by any healthy, sound person, without harm, We suppose ifti tie the facts authenticated will very sootl njJ= pear. The Stntesville Landmark says I Some officious intcrmeddlcr tried to bave Judge Cloud indicted at Yadkin Court for appearing on the bench in a state of intoxication—just as it a Judge did'nt have u right to g«t drunk. We Understand the Judge is very much troubled about a suit threatened by the administrator de bonis non* of his grand father's estate. It seems that he is a lawyer by bequest. A legacy mas be queathed to him by his grandfather up on condition that ho studied law and became a successful lawyer. In due time the legacy was turned over to him by the eJtcctltor. 2'he administrator de bonis non now steps in and asks the Judge to" step down and out"—that tbc condition upon which the legacy was bequeathed has never happened— in other words, that Judge Cloud is not a lawyer) and that payment of the legacy was gross lachesi STOCKHOLDERS MKETII*O."=TIIC ad journed meetieg of the stockholders of the A. ft N.

ITliaaiaaippi Affair*. MEMPHIS, Oct. 19.—1n a so-called treaty of peace between Gov.

The Governor responded that in view of this assurance he would meet their views ns lurus (rfissihlp, and would or der all the tuilitlu com pa ires to disperse and return to their homes.

E Leo by V. Dubcrl. the car. ver who cut Valentine's recumbent stat uej WHS deposited in tliC State Libtlry on SaturdM/ 1 . The flgui-Q is iti plaster, about two feet high, and represents Lee, standing beside the stump of a tree, dressed in full uniform, with his Cloak thrown over his shoulder. The left leg is slightly bent, and the lelt boot rests oil a rock, his arm folded, his right hand grasping his guantlet, and resting on thejiilt of his sword. The head is bare, with his face turned to the left. His raddle and trapping rest on a dismount ed cannon. The likeness is, perhaps, not very striking,, but otherwise the statuette is pronounced 6y artists to posesg a high order of merit.—llich mond dispatch. From the Daily Sentinel, wo learn, that Capt. A. D. Andrews, for eight years past, the superintendent of the Haicgli & Gaston railroad, has resigned his position, to accept a simelar position ou the North Carolina road. We had supposed, and saw it so stated in some one of our exchanges, that Capt. W. 11. Green bad been promoted to this posi tion; which we thotttfbi he had justly earned. Of course it is none of our business, and Capt. Audrew* is doubt less a good sclcctiou; being universally acknowledged lo be an efficient/ expe rienced, energetic railroad man; but all this can bo said with equal truth of Capti Green, and it occurs to usj from his past ooimeetion with the Nofth Car olina rujlt-ondj that he was justly en titled to the place* Capt. Greene of tlic Mnanier North State, plying between Favettevillc and Wilmington, in tlio gallant man, who tied up his boat, aud walked seven miles, over ditzlies, and fence* to see a young lady passenger to the house ot a relative. The opportunity for this display of gallantry, was afforded by the non-appearance of persons who were to have met the young lady at the landing. We suppose the Capt. almtch clor and the lady handsome,and may bo rich. If it should turn out that either the Capt. is married or the iady ugly than his gallantry ia perhaps unequalcci in modern times. IIOUUIBI.K OUTBADE.—A negr> man, Johnson Balden, attempted to commit aii outrage upon a little girl, daughter ot Mrs. Briggs in Orange county. The child is only elcvcu years old, aud the shocking crime was attempted about three miles from Uillsboro. The screams of the intended victim of this fiend were heard by a man bear by, whose appearance saved the little girl. The negro has been arrested and lodged in Jail. Of this occurrence we learn trom the Tobacco' Plant. William Dulan of Cabarrns county went to Charlotte ou business on Mon day, the 18th aud left there about night, in an intoxicated condition. He was thrown from bis horse, upon the centre 5f the track, at a crossing near Sugar Creek, just ahead of an approaching train.

IIVDIC IB D FOR IJBBL. Some of the Board of Commissioners ot Robesou county have indicted W. P. Cannaday, editor and proprietor ol the Wilmington Pout, J. J. Cassidey, late associate editor of the same,in the superior Court for that coiltity, for libel. The indictment, we suppose, of course, is founded oil the comments of that pa per upon the course the majority of said Board saw proper to pursue in grant ing itertittoate* to the democratic candi dates for seat* lit tho late Constitutional Convention.
