LiaurLoburg Afrain In Flames. ;Tbe much afflicted town of Laurinburg has iDeen again the scene of a disastrous fire.

A colored woman, who lives near, heard the noise and, going ont to the door, saw the man at work and said to hira, "Is that you, Sam?" meaning Merrick. The man replied that it was, but -her suspicions were aroused and when she saw him attempt to force the gate of the yard, they were confirmed and she went by a back way and called Merrick, who ran out, pistol in hand, but the thief be came frightened and escaped.

Mr. Blair had recently established a store at Laurinburg under the firm name of Blair & Crisp. There was no insurance it having been just established and the loss is about 2.000. We regret to state that none ol the stock was saved. Thic loss will pot, we are pleased to learn, at all inteitere with the opera tions of Mr. Blair's house here and will not affect hi3 credit, as ho advertises elsewhere that every creditor of the firm of Blair & Cri?p will be paid one hundred cents on the dollar and that no compromise of any liability will be asked or accepted.

During their stay of four years in this place Mr. Carraway and his family made many warm friend?, and they carry with them to their future home their best wishes for their future happL ness and prosperity. The New Year. Among the publications to be espec ially noted, as the New Year ap proaches, are the periodicals published by Harper & Brothers, a year's sub scription to 'any one ol which would make an acceptable New Year's gift, and a recurring reminder ol the intelli gent donor. Their Magazine is pre eminent in literature and art. Its con ductors know the great secret of popu larizing both, while conslantly advan cing the standard of literary and artis tic excellence. G 'i Harper's Weekly it may be justly said that its independent and patriotic course during, the late political cam paign earned for it the commendation of thoughtful and unbiased readers throughout the country; whilo apart from ita political teaching, the high character, variety and attractiveness of its stories, articles and pictures place i. in the foremost rank of weekly illn? t rated journals.- The feminine mind may be disposed to give the preference to Harper's Bazar, which weekly spreads before the eye not qnly a tempting feast of stories, poems, sparkling esas, .and art illustrations, but a constant variety of beautifully engraved fa3hion-platcs and intricate pattern sheets the mystery ot wnica tne mascmice intellect is im potent to solve. It is truly the Ameri can woman's journal. Last, but p.ot least, since it concerns the most important part of the family circle, wemay men ion Harper's Young People. Thi bright little, paper has achieved a double victory, in winning the approval of parents and the hearts of the children. No pleasantcr or surer antidote to the sensational juvenile lit erature, which has begun the ruin of many young minds, could be placed in the hands of youthful readers than this popular journal for boys and girls Information as to the terms of sub scription to these periodicals may be obtained of the publishers, Harper & Brothers, New York.

At the watch making and jewelry establishment of Mr. Georjre W. Hag gins, on Market street, is a machine technically known as tho Stark com bination lathe, which is a curious and interesting contrivance invented by the man whose name it bears, forjie pur pose of performing all the work in making a first class, reliable watch. Not only that, but Mr. George Darden, a young gentleman who has devoted years of patient toil and persistent study in perfecting bimself in the watch making art, and who is an expert in the business, is there to operate the ma chine. It would be simply impossible in an ordinary newspaper article to describe the machine in all its parts. Suffice it to say that under the skilful hands of Mr. Darden any portion of a watch can be made and in a manner equal to any of the far-famed Waltbam watches, where the lathes are in con stant use and where he devoted year8 of study in perfecting himself in its use. It is indeed a curiosity and an inspec tion of its workings would be really interesting to any one possessed of a mechanical mind. We are glad to learn that Mr. Huggins will open his rooms on Monday next so that those who would like to know what human ingenuity and human skill can do wilj have an opportunity to witness the workings of tho machine by Mr. Dar den. While there are other Stark ma chines in the South this is the only one in North Carolina. "Peck's Bad Boy" will be the at traction at the Opera House next Wed nesday nighf.

BROWN, of Carver's Creek, Bladen connty, passed to his rest, on tha mb oi the present month, aeed 53 vears. He was the son of the late John Bright Brown of that county, and grandson of General Brown of revolutionary memory. Few men possessed in a greater decree the qualities that adorn mankind than he. Modest and unobtraeive,' gentle as a wo'man, yet bold as a lien, unsel hsh and unassuming, he added to these the r.igner qualities et tha Christian gentleman. He was a true man in every sense of the word true to his friends, to fci3 country, to his fami ly and kinsfollr, and true as mortal man can be 1 his God! He was a faithful soldier during the war, a rievoted husband and f atb; er, ar.d in all th rela'iom of life blmelc-s ha death cf suh a mm is a calamity, not only to h'.s family and kindred, but to the com munity. Vices he bad none, wbile the devoted tone of his m rality exerted a wholesome in fluence over all who came.withln lh3 tphfcre cf Its influence.
