Roberta**, at Cmpaar gkapa. ia *ar authorised scent to re. ceirc lakicriptiaaa, and receipt for the ■tame. .• • - v. '■ ' Cotton in Raleigh active at 124. We are glad to hear that the little girl of our countyinan,Thomas C. Foust, that was so painfully burned week be fore last, is getting better and hopes of her recovery are entertained. It was a most shocking burn and the little inno cent sufferer has endured inexpressible pain. At a meeting of Graham Grange, No. 135, it was determined to have an ag ricultural fair and an invitation is here by extended to all other Granges in the couuty to send up a representation to the next meeting, When all arrange ments for said fair will be made. Those de iring to compete will see that they are represented at Graham on Satur day, betore the 2nd Sunday in Janua ry. By order of Grange. J. N. H. Clendeunin, Master. The Ilev. Dr. T. H. Pritchard, of Raleigh, will on next Thursday night, the 16th inst., deliver, in the court house iu 11ii* place lii-i famous lecture on " The Literary Attractions of the Bible." Ihe proceeds of the lecture to be devoted to aid in the building of a Baptist Church in this place. It is sel dom tb:it the people ol this placo, or other email tow HP, have the opportunity of hearing at home a lecturer so dis tinguishea. 2*l*6 Dr. as a speaker stands justly high and those who fail to hear him will have themselves to blame for missing a rare literary treat. The streets of our town have been undergoing repairs for some weeks, and last week the improvement-of the side walks began. These improvements have long been much needed. The side walks are being bordered with stone and graveled,so that on them we will be out of the mud, no matter how bad the weather. The Messrs Andrews, and R. M. Stockard have taken the contract and they are pushing the work rapidly We will soon have dry pleasant jjide walks for pedestrians, and better streets for vehicles. Our town is improving, and after the neW work gets solid there will be no necessity for young, wen loosing thier shoes in the mud any more. Mr. J. M. Chaffee, of Norwich Conn. f is iu our midst, selling, by subscription, a valuable book for our young people, and old one* as well. It is "The Young Peoplos Bible History," eoutairing a simple and attractive account of the great events, mentioned in the Old and New Testaments, written in short stories, suitable to the understanding and comprehension of all, and yet so connected as to form a continuous and complete history. The book is well and plainly printed aud elegantly bound. It is sold only by subscription. The same gentleman will also furnish family Bibles of any style. He represents 'he Henry Bill Publishing Company of Nor wich Conn. • BBOKE IN. —On last Wednesday night, about twelve o'clock, a young man of onr town named Jones, descovered a light in the store , room occupied* by James R. Fonville. He went aud in. formed Mr. Fonville and the two return, ed, and unlocked the door, walked iu, struck a light,looked under the counter, and fouud one John Siter, black, and opposed to the ratification of the pro posed constitutional, amendments con cealed there. Now this store room is used by Mr. Fonville as a boot and shoe mak ers sbop, and also as a store for tne sale of oonfections, clocks, watches, jewelry Ac. This opposer of the constitutional amendments procured au auger, by means ot Which be effected an entrance. On the inside he proceed to empty the contents of the cash drawer, consisting of nicklesand cents left for change, iuto his pocket. Then the secured a lot of jewelry, and cakes/ aud might have doubtless made off wi'h his booty but for a lot of ground-peas. He espied these and deliberately then aud there set in for a "good bait." This gratification prov* ed the snare of his ruin. He most, trom the quantity of Hulls upon the floor, have muuebed about a half gallon. Well, Sill Joues and uncle Jtamy Fonville just collared that negro, and him did they safely keep until the Sheriff arrived. Esquire T. J. Turner issued his war rant the next morning, and a hearing was bad, the result of which was the binding over ot tlds ground-pea eater, and constitutional amendment opposer, to the next term of the bnperior Court. In default of two hundred and fifty dollar bail, he now enjoys the hospital ities of the county. The negro was a stranger hereabouts, and doubtless bad an accomplice. The plot to break In and steal did not originate with him. DESTEICT CONTENTION I. O. of G. T. —Th'sbody, for the fifth congressional district, assembled iu Good Templars Hall in Graham on last Thursday. Notwithstanding the exceeding inclem ency of the weather, just before, there wiis quite a respectable number of dele gates present from many of the various lodges iu the district. The convention was organized at ten o'clock, and an election of officers of the convention had. The programme of business as | heretofore published was then taken up. Much said and done calculated to bene fit the order, and as a consequence those not of the order as well. On Thursday night, the convention, together with other members of the order, proceeded from the Hall, clothed iu regalia, to the Presbyterian church where was already assembled a goodly number of citizens of this place, of Company Shops and the surrounding country. Here the large audience was addressed, first, by W. 8. Ball Esq. tor about an boar, in a very forcible sensible and argumentative manner. He wasfollowedby Dr. Boothe of Granville in a stirring speech of a half an hour in length. The proceedings interspersed with music, booth instru mental aud vocal. G. \V. C. T., N.B. Kroughton of Raleigh, was present duriug tho entire convention, and con tributed much t» its interest. The ses sion lasted two days, Thursday and Fri day. There were several iniatioo* luwithe ordei* during the t|me. The success of this, the second district convention cal>- ed for this district, was highly eucour. aging and flattering to the friends of the order. The reports from the vari ous Lodges showed, with a very few exceptions, the order to be in a flourish ing condition. That it has done a vas 1 deal of good none can deny, and that it will do much more almost equally certain. There were large numbers in attendance from the lodge at Compa ny Shops. Those whose opportunity for judging has been good say tnat the lodges at this place and Company Shops, all things considered, are among the best in the Stole. The membership of the two lodges is very considerably over two hundred. The District Depu" ty will designate the time and place for holding the nest district conven tion. , THE ORPHAN ASTlCM.—Superinten dent Mills, reported the condition of these institutions to the Grand Lodge o 1 Masons, recently in session at Raleigh. This report shows that the contributions to the Oxford Asylum, from December Ist, 1874, to November 30th, 1875, amounted to $13,095.98. Disbursements for same period 912*540.37. These figures include receipts and disburse ments for the Mars Hill A»ylum until September Ist. According to last report there were 132 orphans at Oxford; admitted since that report 30; dis charged 57; died 2; ran away 3; expell ed 2; leaving 105 inmates ai present. From September Ist, to November 30, total contributions lor Mars Hi 11,9353.21 cash. One mule sold for 9100 and 9110, received from Oxtord making 9563.34, Disbursements for the time 9548.30. To this asylum have been admitted 85; expelled 1; ranaway 2; discharged 3; leaving 29 there at present. We have had very unfavorable weath er for farmers work, for so early a period in the season, aud as a conse quence our farmers are much behind hand with their work. Many of them are not done seeding wheat aud much that would, if we had bad ordinarily good weather, hare been sown will no* be seeded at all. Winter appears to have fairly set in, and the earth U fall of water. It will take some days of sunehiue to put the ground in condition to plow at all. We regret the hindrance of our farm labor, for upon it all classes? are dependent. At the term just closed of the Federaj Court in Raleigh, in the owe of August I Belmont against the Auditor of the State, (in the matter of the special tax bonds, being an effort to compel the Auditor to levy a tax to pay the interest on these special tax bonds) there was an order made remanding this snit back to the State Court, where it bad origi nally been brought, and from which it bad been removed on the application of the plaintiff.

The Wilmington Journal, in its issue of the is: of this month, deplores the decliue in the rice culture in that itn. mediate section. It shows that iu the immediate vincity of Wilmington there were before the war raised about 200, 000 bushels cr 9,000,000, lbs rice, as against less than ten thousand now. It further shows that the lands upon which this crop was raised, has been suffered to become almost if not quite useless. It says "The fields are desolate, the dikes are wearing down, and a desola tion of weeds and grass has taken the place of the bending golden grain." The "Western Sejitinel goes forjudge Cloud for his conduct in censuring sheriff Hill, at the late term of Porysy the Court f»%not punctually ringing the Cou Hon so bell, by which a half hour of the peoples tinw yro& lost, and afterwards during the same term to adlourn court early in tb« the day to listen to a hand organ and play with the pet monkey. The Sentiuel says he did those things. Ex cuso the old man. Monkeys can't whis tle, and the Judge can feel easy in their company. Columbus Jones, white, killed Har. vey James, colored, at Hickory week before last, under circumstances, which if correctly reported, make Jones guilty of murder. Jones was drunk, provok ed the difficulty, followed the negro up and stabbed him to death with a knife. Jane's uncle also assaulted the negro. The murderer escaped. Austin Hill, negro, was tohav6 been hanged last Friday at Jackson in North ampton comity, for his share in the cold blooded outrageous murder o f Presson, the bridge watchman at Wel don, some time ago. Our tender hearted Governor on the day before commuted his sentence to imprisonment for life. The Eastern Medical Association of this State was in session in Wilmington last week. From the reports ot pro ceedings in the Wilmington papers, the M. D's. of the east had a profitable and pleasant session. This association is auxiliary to and co-operative with the State Medical Society. R. Y. McAden, of Charlotte applied for the twenty convicts recently made at Charlotte to be sect directlv to work on the railroad, but Gov. Brogden said they must pass through the penitentiary and the Charlotte Observer wants to know what tor that expense. Judge Cloud recomended a special term of the Superior Court for Davidson The bar and the county lOinmissionere objected and the governor declined to order it. The same state ox affairs exists in Forsythe county. The senate yesterday confirmed the appoinment of secretary of the interior, Pierrepont as a.torney generai, New as treasurer, and J. C. Smith as commissioner of Indian af fairs. i ———————————— The ladies of Greentboro have form, ed "An Orphan Aid Association" for the purpose of raising funds during the winter for the orphans at Oxford and Mara Bill. So we learn from the Fa triot. At the recent Conference of theM. E. Cbnrcb, In Wilmington. Steps were taken, looking to the celebration, In ft becoming manner, of the oentenial of Methodism in K. C. t which occurs next year. The joint committee of the Arkansas legislature, appointed to investigate charges of bribery sad corruption ■gainst Senator Dorsey, hare snbmit ted a report exonerating that gentle" man.

A GOOD MONTH'S WOBK.—Daring the month of November Superinten dent Mills, of the Oxford Orphan Asy lum travelled through Eastern Caro lina with nine of tLe Orphans giving concerto for the benefit ot the Asylum. During the month he traveled 315 miles by private conveyance, at a total cost of all expenses of $11.50, and obtained from contribution f 1,200. Daring this time he travelled on five different steamers, on the Cape Fear, Tar River, without co3t. This mouth's work placed the Asylum ahead of all indebtness for past mouthy. — News. A. D.
