C. road, riding backwards on; top of a car, last Saturday, forgot himself while the train rath into a covered bridge. His head struck the bridge and he was - knocked down on the track and run over c utto pieces in a moment. The pretty love story published in oar last of a yonne ladr who. in aeekinir a situation as croverness found a wealth v husband, turns out badly. The young lady was victimized by a scoundrel, who deserted her on their way to his suppos ed beautiful home in Wisconsin, and took refuge in Canada. ! Dr.Franklin, it was, wo think, who said, do your courting abroad, but marry near home; which means, according to to our construction, that people should know each other very well indeed before entering the matrimonial state. It is certainly dangerous for a young lady to take , up with an entire stranger on aui acquaintance of only one or two weeks. . U i Ikstitute XoTESWe have gathered from County Supt. G. R. McNeill, tbefol lowing encouraging facts relative to the very successful session of the Rowan Teacher's' Institute which closes hero to morrow: There are sixty teachers iu attendance, including about tweuty-five ladies, and several of the oldest teachers in the coun ty. Every township in the county has representatives. Tlie instructors were proficient, and all -who attended seemed please with the opportunity here afforded them to gain a better insight to the teach ers' professional duties. The establish ineut of this valuable aid to the advance mcut of public education iu our midst is, in, part, duo to the efforts made in that direction by the Rowan County Teachers' Asssociution. o We omitted to mention iu our last that Theo. Bnerbaum, T. K. Brnner and Charles Vcale, set out from this point iu private carriages a few days ago to make a tour of tho mountains, the Jtoan in Mitchell, being the first point iu view. and Mitchell's Peak the second. There were spare scats in their carriages, and it was reported that some fair captures on the route would be made. The ouly tidings since their departure: was a hasty scroll to tho effect that Bucrbanm was in love. Veale might pass anywhere for a preacher, but we do not suppose he was engagedfor the performance of clerica duties. o ; Tiik Board of County Commissioners met last Monday, the 6th inet.', for the purpose of hearing nud considering com plaint as to excessive assessments o various properties for taxation. After this work wusdone, there were two peti tions for licenses granted to retai suuitous liquors in the city. One to C. El Mills, aud the other to S. C. Miller The voice of tlie people rules in thiscoun try, and wasiieard on last Thursday j and however painful it may be for us to chronicle the fact, we suppose there was no other Course for the Board than to gran to the above parties their license. The request of Mr. Blackmer, that the Board remove the tax levied ou incomes which was mentioned in our; last report of proceedings of this body, was again taken up. The Board agreeing that un der the law they had no alternative bu to levy a tax on incomes, granted the re quest so far as to reduce the tax from per ceuti, as heretofore, to J of 1 per cent. on the dollar. : o '; DIED. In this city, Aug, 5th, 11831, Mrs, Elizabeth Phifer Craige, widow of the late Hon. Burton Craige, and daughter of the late James nud Margaret Erwiu o; Burke Couuty, N. C. Mrs. Craige was a descendant of sever al of the old and influential families o Rowan aud,. Cabarrus Counties the Phifers, Lockes aud Brandons of the old days she inherited a natural refinement of manners coupled with characteristic modesty and reserve. In 1836 she was married to Burton Craige Esq., with whom -she lived as a faithful and prudent wife, until his death, five years ago. Owing to the public em ployments of her husband, the manage ment of the house, and the training of the children devolved mainly upon her, but she was equal to the task. In 1855 she became. connected with the Presbyterian - Church of Salisbury, and for 26 years she was a quiet, humble and consistent Christian ; manifesting her re- liiriou rather by a meek and consistent life, than by a forward profession. Itwas not until her last illness that she spoke much of her spiritual exercises. Then her faith in Christ, her hope of heaven, and her victory over death were signal y manifested. Five children and a num ber of grandchildren mourn over their loss, but not as those who have no hope. .--'! HARRIED. In Cabarrus county, N. C, Angnst 4th 1831. bv Rev. Sam'l Kothrock, J.

Of course it is. Four vears a to raining was almost unthought of, there being but six or eight properties at work in the State. At present we have about forty or fifty. Half of them are about erecting mills for - the reduction of ores. Eight or ten of them are paying. The bal ance arc working in expectation.

There are five veins, the width of which are as follows : First 20 feet j sec- ond, 6; third, 30; fourth, 25, and fifth, 34. All of these are included within a distance of 177 feet. They are woiking three huge tunnels, one of which (the main one) will cross cut at right angles all five of these veins. This main tunnel is 14 feet in the clear, 1 1 feet aftho top aud 8i high. It is calculated to use mining cars aud min ing locomotives in this tunnel. The old workings were conducted in a diQerent manner. They skimmed the tops of the veins where exposed, taking up the soft, partially decomposed ores and smelting them at a forge. This prac tice has becu discontinued. Abont 1000 tous of ore has been taken out duriug the last month. They use air coinpresser aud Hand rock drills. Contractors are now engaged iu bnild- mg thirty-live houses. A town has beeu laid out in regular streets, and when the buildings are completed the appearance of the place will be greatly tnhauced.
