A Pic Nic on Historic Ground;
A small party of ladies and gentle
men (and it was our good fortune to be
of Jthe number) picnicked yesterday at
Kendall, the plantation and residence o
Owen D. Holmes,-Esq., situated about 15
miles below the city and a short distance
above 1-ort Anderson. It was a delight
ful day in every sense of the wcrd and
tendered doubly so by the kind attentions
of our entertainers. Kendall is one o
the oldest places on the river and is situ'
ated between Lilliput on the one side and
Ortsn on the other. The bouse is on a
high bluff about half a mile from the
the river and commands a splendid View.
The yard is a very extensive . one and is
covered to a large extent with beautiful
shade trees under which a regiment might
encamp. The place is in the midet of a
historic section, dating from times prier
to the revolution and running back now
for a century and a half, and we learned
yesterday many old legends, and some new
ones too, which we hopeto print at an
early day. '
During the afternoon the party started
over to Orton, previous to the war the
seat of the late Dr. F. J. Hill and well
known at that time as being the finest
place on the Cape Fear river. But the
hand of time and of those who followed
in the wake of Terry's commauel is on
everything. The house is a wreck
and the beautiful grounds around it
are choked with the growth anel weeds of
a decade and a half of years. Still the
property is a fine one and. the house and
grounds could both be restored' at a com
paratively moderate outlay Around Or
ton there lingers man' traditions of the
Old settlers, of those who first laid an axe
to the root of the trees and established
what -was for many years the flourishing
town of Brunswick, at what isnoAv known
as Fort Anderson and of which nothing
now remains but the grim walls of the
old church anel the moleiering dust of
those 'who rest in the churchyard. Old
Brunswick was seltteel about the year
1725 by Col. Maurice Moore, brother to
the celebrated "King Roger' a name fa
miliar to the traditions of our past. Nearly
opposite the site of Old Brunswick frowns
a high sandy bluff which, from its peculiar
formation, is' called Stigrir Loaf, and there
is an old legend of the prowess of King
Roger connected with this spot. It is
said that he had been very much annoyed
by the deprcdatiors of the Indians and one
day while he was entertaining a number
of gentlemen at dinner, news was brought
to him that the savages had assembled in
considerable force on the opposite side of
the river. He immediately rose and pro
posed to his guests, all of whom were
inflamed with wine, that they should
cross the river anel attack the
enemy. His proposal was at once sec-
! cwilcel and the party .having hurriedly
armed themselves were leel by King
U gcr to the quay at Brunswick where
they embarked. The river at this point
is about three miles wide and in a short
time they had all landed at Sugar Loaf.
Here thej found the Indians in force and
the battle was joined at once, resultingjiu
a victory for the whites. Old legends tell
of many deeds of valor done on this day
but none equal to those performed by
King Roger. He seems to have fought
his way to the top ef the bluff where it
has-been asserted that be slew seven of
the Indians with his own hand. This is,
however, but one account of the affair.
Tradition has it differently at different
times and on dilVcrent occasions, one re
port rf the affair being that Kmg Roger
was surprised by the Indians, when alone
on the summit of Sugar Loaf. The dif
ferent legends all "agree," however, in the
assertion that he was a mighty warrior
and that he had been dubbed "King
Roger" because of his preeminence among
the settlers in theufaut colony. His re
mains lie internal. within a short distance
of the residence at Orton and this spot we
"also visited. The grave bad originally
been bricked Up to the height of four feet
from the ground with the head and foot
somewhat higher and peaked, but the top
has fallen in. But the monument is good
now againai the ravages, of time1 for yet : a
great many years to come and the English
brick, of which it is formed, show no
signs of decay.
There are other items of interest, which
we learned yesterday, and which wc hepe
to bring .forward at eooo; future time.'
Suffice it to say hero trnthcBcigbef
hood of Orton and Keooall abounds in
rich historic lore of the teen :and scenes of
other days which shpnJd be pieWred ad
not allowed to lapse into the complete
fbrgetfulncss which has threatened them
for so many years past, and which raav
yet be their fate if they ire not rescued
and preserved by the passing generation.
The Thermometer.
From the United States Signal Office at
this place wc obtain the following report
of the thermometer, as taken this morn
ing at 7:31 o'clock:
Augusta, 60; Charleston, Co; Corsicaua,
66 ; Galveston, 78'; Iudianola, 76 ; Jack

St. Marks, 69 ; Wilmington, 53.
The Front Street Pavement.
lhc paving of Iront street, north of
Market,has been carried on very vigorous
ly of late, and it is expected that the work
will be concluded to "the .depot' by the
latter part of next week. Wheu this is
done it is hoped that the city authorities
will pave in between street the railway track
all of the way from Market to Red Cross,
and that the railroad jeople will build a
wide aud substantial bridge at the head of
the street.
Dogs and Hog Badges.
But 631 dog badges have been issued
thus far ami it is thought that this eloes
not cover more than one-fifth of the num
ber of dogs in the city. Of this number of
baelges, only 41 were issued to female
dogs, which would seem to argue the
gratifying fact that the race of dogs is
soon to become extinct here, were it not
for the fact that many of the gender have
been removed beyond the limits. The
City Treasury has thus far been replen
ished by the dog tax only $713.
A Beautiful sight.
Fourteen small vessels sailed up the
river yeserday afternoon within a space cf
three miles. Of these eleven were from the
Eastern counties of the State and were
loaded with corn. The others were rcsu
lar packpts from neighboring points on
the caast. -We came up the river on the
Undcrhill at the time auel passed the en
tire fleet'. It was one of the most beauti
ful sights we ever saw on the broad
bosom of the old Cape Fear. ' The eleven
corn crackers brought-18,179 bushels..

Worth Knowing.
One pouud of green copperas, costing
seven cents, dissolved iu one quart ol
water, is very efficacious in purifying bad
air and will effectually concentrate and
destroy the fjulest smells. On board
ships aud steamboats," about hotels and
other public places, there is nothing so
nice to purify the air; simple green cop
peras, dissolved thoroughly in auythiug
that will hold water, will render a hos
pital, ? or other place for the hick, free
from unpleasant smells. . In fish markets,
slaughter-houses, siuks and wherever there
arc offensive putrid gases, dissolve cop
peras and sprinkle it" about, and in a few
days thc smell will pass away.
Fire Near the City.
The house on the old Williams place,
five miles from the city, on the road lead
ing to North East ferry, was burned to
the ground early this morning. It was
occupied by Mr. A. J. Mott, who with
his family barely escaped from the burn
ing building. It was nearly daylight
when the fire was discovered, but Mr.
Mott thinks that it must have been burn
ing for two hours previously. It seems to
have caught iu the kitchen and the im
pression is that it was sct on fire. Mr,
Mott, we regret to learn, lost everything.
.The place belongs to Mr. Adamti. Latta,
of this city. The house was valued at
$1,500 and was insured with Maj. J. A.
Byrne's Agency for $1,000.
