SINGULAR CASE. Poisoning by a Fly in Troy. We regret to learn that Captain Green, Deputy Inspector at Boilerr and Assistant Engineer of the Fire Department, it still confined to his room with a very bad arm. About a fortnight since he was on the cars going to Whitehall, when he was bitten on his right hand, between the thumb and index finger, by an insect which entered the carriage, and he soon experienced considerable pain,' which gradually increased. He showed his hand to a druggist, who' told him that the pain was probably caused by a moss quito bite, and painted the wound with iodine. It increased to such an extent however, that the Captain consulted a physician, who, too, believing it to be an ordinary mosquito bite, treated it accor dingly The arm and band meanwhile swelled to such an alarming extent that it was considered judicious to take fur ther advice. Dr. Bonticou was consulted and is of opinion that the wound has been caused by the bite of a common house" fly which had been feeding on carrion, and had communicated the poison. The pain and swelling continued to increase, and erysipelas set in. On Saturday Dr. Aiken, who is attending Dr. Bonticou's patients during the latter 's temporary absence, in order to relieve the pressure occasioned bv the extraordinary enlarge ment, scarified the arm of Captain Green from the elbow to the wrist in four dif ferent places. The Captain has been very near losing the use of his limb. Yes terday, however, he felt much relieved, and is out of danger. It will, probably, be several days before he can leave his room, and it is feared that it will be a long while before he will recover full use of his arm. Arrest of a Mail Robber. Capt. John Fry, special agent of the Postoffice De partment, reached this city last night with a man named T. E. G, Liodsey, the Egpptian corn man," in custody, on the charge of robbing the mail at Ravels Nest, in Scott county. He succeeded in detecting him by sending marked notes through the mail. The accused was post master at Havens Nest. Depredations have been of frequent occurrence lately on the Smiih's creek route between Abing don and Estellville. Captain Fry is a zealous and very efficient officer, and has been quite successful lately in detecting depredations on the Postoffice Depart' ment. Rich. Examiner. SSTHang the rascal! He stole enough through ihe "Egyptian corn" humbug to hang him twice. Verily, "Justice, though tardy, isjsure." Milton Chronicle. Advices from North Carolina are to the effect that there has been a consider able negro immigration into that State from the southern tier of Virginia coun ties. As North Carolina has a white majority, and will infallibly upset the present rotten hull called the Mate gov ernment at the first election, it is quite likely that the disgusted negroes will repeat the process with North Carolina soil and seek "deir right in South Caro lina The circumstance is of interest as illustrating the tendency to concentration of the negro population in the far South White immigration will first fill up the border and, as its fills, posh the negro southward before it, An Editorial . Student Wanted. The correspondent of the Petersburg In de'x asserts that the Richmond Typograph ical Union have received from the Facul ty of Washington College, a letter de siring them to nominate some suitable young man for a scholarship in the De partment of Journalism.

A gentleman took the cars at Morrisville, for Raleigh, a few days since, but, before proceeding far, discovered that he had left behind a satchel containing several thousand dollars in specie. The cars were brought to a halt, the gentleman got out, procured a horse, and went back to Morrisville, and enquired tor such a piece of bfpgage. No one had seen anything of it, he next inquired of the Railroad Agent, who replied, that he had in his possession, in a secure place, the satchel, which was produced, and, the $12,UUU in specie came out all right. This Agents name is R E. Young, a son of Dr. T. W- J'oung "a chip of the old block ? hwnd his name around, brettirea, as au honest boy, and worthy ol all confidence. flal. Standard. A True Christian. This story good to iad in those days of business avarice is told of Mantucket a generation ago. ' It was a very severe winter, and the harbor had been frozen i our weeks. The coal in store had long been exhausted, and there was much suffering from lack of fuel. Even the fences had been torn down and burnt to make out the scanty supply of wood To the great delight of the towns-people the ice broke up one fine morning and a schooner laden with coal was seen approaching There was much excitement and before the vessel was moored a coal dealer boarded her and eagerly addressed the honest Quaker skipper, Captain Giflord- "Wal Cap'en" said he, "you've about hit it this .cruise. I guess I'll have to take y'ur hul cargo. S'pose you'll want more'n the uftial $7 a ton, Wal, I like to do the square thing by. a friend and I'll give you $12 a ton for it." "Friend," said Captain Giflord, thee can have one ton of my coal ff thee likes for $8, but only a ton; all must have a chance Just then one ol the richest men of the place joined them, say ing, "I want ten tons of your coal at your own price name it. I have suf fered enough for once." He received the same answer, and so did all one ton for each family, and $8 as the price for each ton. No love of gain, no solicitation, no regard for individuals could move honest Captain GifTord. We look to our next Legislature to do some cood. We have conversed with some of the leading members of the Re publican Party who belong to that body, and our impression is that they see plain enough the evils that have to be correc ted in the administration of law and jus tice in the different sections of our State. They see that to have ignorant white men and worse than ignorant negroes holding magisterial positions won't do to last much longer. And we wouldn't be much surprised if some of the white and black members of the Legislature were not or dered before a Board of Examination t have their qualifications tested for the high .office they are disgracing. It may seem a little strange. But, what of that? This is an age of strange things. Didn't it snow in New York the other day? Didn't we leave home the other day fear ingaspellof sunstroke, and didn't we long for a blanket or an overcoat in 49 hours after? Nothing should seem strange now-a.days. HUL Recorder. Few. SEPT. 16, 1869- Drins Hard." "I never heard,' says a Paris corresN ponaent. or tne lionaon oai-, "a more striking instance of; strong nien 'dying bard' than one that is given in the -Paris papers. A well known wrestler and ath lete of Avignon, bearing the illustrious name of Meissoner, caught, a few weeks ago, his death illness by carrying a little girl across a swollen ford, which she was obliged to traverse in order to take to her father bis dinner .This action was per formed in the mOst good-natured way. Meissonnier seeing the child, who was to him an utter stranger, trembling and weep ing on the brink, said to her, 'Take heart, little one, Til serve as a ferry for you.' Swinging her on bis shoulder, he carried her oyer. On returning to the bank whence he started, he, slipped and was thoroughly submersed. A cold, which led to a virulent fever, was the result As his end approached Meissonnier liter ally struggled with the malady, and his last words were, -Oh, Death, if you were a man what shoit work I d make of you. Quickly. Quickly, young roan! Life is short. A great work is before you. If you would succeed in business, win your way to hanors and save your soul, you must do with your might what your hands find to do. You must-work fast and well, the sluggard dies.

Have you come to masterly faith, and a hope that looks steadfastly, to the end Ah! quickly ye aged fathers and gray headed sires Already the messengers of de.ith begin to tender their servics, and i he end is at hand. Hillsboro Recorder. o The Disappointed. 7The defeated can didate for the Senate in this county, and his aid de camp Bob Coles, defeated for House of Delegates, together with others of that kidney, have, we understand,, been cherishing great expectations with regard to the Test Oath and have been making the impression on their deluded followers that the oath would yet be ap plied to the General Assembly and that thus the rejected iron clad candidates would be let in. But we imagine the opinion of Attorney Ceneral Hoar will quiet the minds of these creatures on that point. Instead of having an injustice and an outrage practiced on the people, as they had wished, the undisputed results of a fair election are to stand good. So these fellows will not roost so high as they expected. They are not to foist themselves upon an unwilliug people as their law makers, but are left to stay at home and make an honest living by the labor of their hands; which they can do if they will only go to work. v Danvtlle Register.

Not a morning, noon or night, but she looks into a corner of the kitchen where you read Robinson Crusoe, and thinks of you as yet a boy. Mothers rarely become conscious that their children are grown out of their childhood. They think of them, advise them, write to them, as though not , full fourteen years of age. They cannot for get the child,. Three times a day she thinks of those absent from the table, and hopes that next year, at farthest she may just "have her own family there," and if you are there look out for the fat limb of a chicken, and coffee, which nobody but every-body s nvrn mnlhAr ari rrmkr tence, full of household1 history, and run ning over with genuine mother's love is telling and beautiful: "Moreover his mother made a little coat, and brought it to him from year to year, when she came up with her husband, to the sacrifice." A mother mourning at her first born'a grave, or closing the eye of a child in death- displays a grief whose very sacred-ness- is sublime.. But bitter, heavier than the stroke is the desparation of a son who rushes over a crushed heart, into vices which he would hide even, from the abandoned and vile. Napoleon was once asked by a lady what France needed for the education of youth;, and the short, profound reply was, " Mothers."" . The Game or VLa Crosse."- This In dian game has become quite popular in the North, and West, and in Canada, but we Have not heard: of its introduction in the South. Of course, ,however, it soon will be introduced, and a slight descrip tion of it' will be interesting. We are in formed that the players are divided into two parties, each, which has two flags mounted upon staffs about eight feet in length, and which are placed upright in the ground about six feet apart at oppor site ends of the field. Between these two flags one of the most expert players is stationed, whose duty it is to. keep tho ball from being passed through. The mainder of the players are actively en gaged in the field, and endeavor to past the ball betwesn the flags of their opponents. Each player is provided with a cross e, and the ball must be touched with this alone. -"-.'' The game is commenced by hurling the ball perpendicularly into the air, and in it descent the players endeavor to catch it upou their erar, and run with it or toss it towards the flags of their op ponents,, who in turn, use every endeavor to force it back, and when twenty active, wily Indians, skilled in every device of the game, are the contestants, it becomes very interesting. The skill of the game consists mainly i catching the ball upon the ciosse, ami in dodging and avoiding those who endeavor to get possesion of it. The two parties are distinguished by the color of their knee breeches, ono party wearing red, and the other blue. This is a game of torn foolry. The "player" would bo much core profitably employed in a corn-field with hoes or plow-handles in their hands,- Ed Chron. Josh Billings says: "If I was Tin the habit of swearing, I wouldn't hesitate to cuss a bed-bug right to his face.."
