TUB INJUNCTION. , iThe proceedings publisbed in the morn ing papers concerning the ."Tax-Payers' Meeting" seem strange, in the face of facts that have been patent to every one for the past three or four yearsT""" tsy a comparison on tne yearly county statements lor 1874 and 1875 it appears that the former Board of Commissioners paid bills amounting to $57,1)07 lu; amount paid by present Board for past year. $55, 426 8a ; expense of present Board less than expense Of former Board, $2,480 84, . It also appears nhat out of the amount paid by the present Board $10,449 49 was Said on warrants issued by the former oard. bo that the real expenditures by the present Board will amount to $12,929 83 less than the expenditures of the previous Board. . . The followlng amounts were paid by the former Board greater , than the amounts paid by the present Board: Advertising and printing. 75 50 Roads and Bridges. : . ; 636 51 Electiona,1 Pay of Registers, &e. . ; '145 59 Support of Poor House, &c. 443 76 Work House,,.....,...... 811 43 Feeding Prisoners in Jail, &c: . . .' 551 75 Repairs on J ail, &c. . i . I,Udt ba Listing Taxes. , : ,1,713 97 Some of the items of expense by tne pres ent Board are in excess of the expense by the previous Board. ' ! ' It wilt be remembered that the city poor were turned over to the' county; and'eared for by the former Board for pari of a year only, and that the present Board have had the care of them for an entire year ot Here tofore unheard-of hard times, want ana suffering among. the poor in this county. and the limited means at their commana for this purpose has compelled the use of the strictest economy' and many have been denied who were deserving of aid. . The consequence is the expense for this purpose has been considerably increased, and the prospect is that still mote will be required uwrmg ine coming year, xi iuu tuuLijr io deprived of the necessary funds to support them, they will be turned adrift, and a beggar will stand at every man's door, and they will perish in our streets.

Lincoln Progress. .TIIK XilN COJLN R APJE.'V , ' Eprroa ; 1eogeess :fyAa .4 th ev? true origin of .th,e Lincoln Grape is not. generally known in. the community, alio w me a little ; space' in your col umn,i.to furnislTsome information on the s'ubjectr . At the beginning of the present centuryf there lived in Gaston county, (formerly a part of Lincoln) about one mile from the junction of the Little Catawba, or South Fork, as it is:ffeq;uently called, witli the main Catawba river an old settler by the naraejof Mason Houston. About the year 1810, this firio grape was acci dentally discovered in the woods near his dwelling. : Itsoon became known, was frequently visited, and its fruit tastefully appreciated. , Several of the neighbors procured' cuttings, ;' anion r bthers,Dr.; William McLean, of'Soiiih Point,", and Mr. John Hart, jf Meck lenburg county. -The Hart vine grew off rapidly, and bore abundant crops for many years, and for this reason, it became well known in that vicinity asthei'Hart Grape." About 184o' Dr. Z. Butt, then a resident physician of Lincolnton, heard throug'h Major McLean of that town of this fine grape on the Houston place, now the property of Dr. J. D. McLean; - ,, a short time aherwards; he procured cuttings from the old Houston vim-, and planted them in his little Fionen vineyard. ... As soon as the vines fruited, he sent seme of the grapes to the . late. Nicholas ; Longworth, ol ' Ohio, who made a large fortune from the-Catawba grape. , Mr. Longwonii expressed himself highly pleased with the sample of fruit sent, and sim gested to Dr. Butt the name of "its origin, Li?icolny ' which it now worthily . bears., The writer was per sbnally. .acquainted with Dr. Butt, and knew him to be an acute observer,' and fond of "natural science. The Lincoln Grape belongs to the sum mer type (cesiivalis) and is finely adapted to the rolling uplands of the entire Piedmoet region of the South, ern States. It is now highly pnz",!, both as a table and wine grape, - it quires little pruning, or cutting back, and should be planted in rather di'y or gravelly soil. All ripe fruifj, slightly acid, or vinous, promote 1p gestiOn'and should be more 'extep sively cultivated for their sanitary properties. C.-L. 'II.. THE EASLY NORHtANDST VLVn.

Flesh fine and melt ing;, pf; a. greepish color; somewhat, firm; filled with a very abundant, sugary, refreshing, juice. It ripens from the middle: to end of July, and" this, together with its size, handsome appearance,, and good quality, renders it valuable. , We have no large plum of the'same character which ripens s early.. - . GOOD SHEEP. :i ' Mr.' 'David Whitaker, Of North Haverhill. N. II., writes to the New England.

The old sheep will shear, on the average six pounds of wool per head. - He uses a mixture of chrome green and sulphur ,fqr; marking' his sheep, and. finds that, this plant also tends to exterminate the Ucks. - The wives of French soldiers are beginning to wear the crosses and decora tions Conferred upon their husbands for .valorous: service on; the .-field.
