We mast adhere to our rule of re quiring tho name of the writer to ac company every communication. Five-Footed Pis Mr. Lonny Hatch, of this count', has a pig that has five feet. The right fore-leg of the pig is one leg from the body to the knee, but at that point it divides into two distinct K'g terminating in two feet. Wo hope our friend will exhibit it at our county fair next fall. A Handsome Residence. The residence of Mr. A. J. Bynum is st last finished and will be occu pied by him next week. It is decid edly the handsomest dwelling in the county, and is quite city-like in its ap pearance and appointments, and of course is an omament to onr town. It reflects much credit ou the skill of the Boss workman, Mr. J. B. Masse wore, who deserves his reputation of being one of the best carpenters in the State. With a few more such residences o ir venerable village would begin to put on city airs. A ColdBath. One of our young townsmen, Mr. John B. Foushee. had rather a cold bath on Tuesday morniner. He was skating on Moore's pond, near here, and the ice beincr weakened bv the change of weather broke in witl. him, and he plunged into water ten foot deep, and-although he could swim he was unable to fret out. as the ice would brtak whenever he attempted to get out. His position was becom ing decidedly dangerous when a col ored man waded in near enough to hand him a pole, with which he ex tricated himself. Last Saturday the ice was in ex cellent condition for skating, which was much enjoyed by the young folks, and some old ones too. Large Hide. We are informed by Mr. W. B. Hardin that Mr. Hadlev Johnson, of this county, recently brought to his tan-yard the largest beef-bide that he has ever seen. It weighed sixty pounds, although it was nearly dry, having been skinned from the beef eight days. This hide would do to exhibit at our county fair. Public Entertainment. We are pleased to learn that on Monday night, tho 27th inst., the young ladies and gentlemen of this place will give a public entertain ment, consisting of charades, music, tableaux &c. We are not informed to what purpose the proceeds will be applied, but would suggest it be the beginning of a fund to purchase the grounds for our county fair. List of Jurors. At the last meeting of tho county commissioners the following persons were drawn as jurors for Inferior court, January term 1881 : C. W. Talley, W. F. Pike, Thomas M.

The Raleigh Visitor, in mentioning one day last week, that so many wajr ons came to that city from this coun ty loaded with all kinds of produce. very periineu'ly asks, "what would I tho Raleigh market do w ithout Chat- j ham county V This comity supplies j the Raleigh market with all sorts of j things from a bale of cotton to a j rabbit s.kiu. Our wagons carry to j Raleigh quantities of cotton, flour, j oits, pork, chickens, partridges, era, wh le droves of cattle are driven there every week. Whenever a wag on is seen in Raleigh you would generally be safe in guessing it came from Chatham. This is a county whose people do not go crazy over cotton, and neglect other crops. We raise more wheat than any other county in the State, and nearly as much com as any. While ome western bacon is brought here, yet we have a great deal of home made bacon, and do not have all onr smoke-houses in Cincinnati. Our farmers are nearly all ers," that is, have plenty to eat, which they raise on th ir farms, and they are about as independent a set of folks as j you can find anywhere. If we conld only have a county fair Cbatham would make such an exhibit as would surprise ourselves with its variety and quahVy.

Greensboro Patriot The year 1881 will be a mathematical curiosity. From left to right and from right to left it reads the same; 18 divided by 2 givesj) as a quotient; 18 divided by 9 gives 2; if 81 divided by 9, the quo tient continues a 9, if multiplied by 9, the product contains two 9's; 1 and 8 are 9; 8 and 1 are 9. If 18 be placed under the 81 and added, the sum is 99. If the figures be added thus, 1, 8, 8, 1, it will give 18. Read iug from left to right it is 18, and reading from right to left it is 18 and 18 is two ninths of 81. By adding, dividing and multiplying, nineteen 9's are produced, being one 9 for every year needed to complete the century. Secretary Thompson. It is now officially announced that Secretary Thompson of the Navy De partment has tendered his resigna tion, to take effect as soon as his suc cessor is appointed.

C. December 8, 1880. Mb. Editor : On the 2nd inst., six other gnards and myself staited from Greensboro' with one hundred and ourteen convicts (who had beeu at work on the Cape Fear & Yadkin Val ley Railroad) to work on the Western N. C. Railroad. We reached Salis bury at 10 o'clock that night, and left there next day, arriving at Best- vine at 7 o clock at night. Next morning we left there and started on foot for our quarters, distant eighteen miles, and reached there that after noon without losing a man. We are stationed on the margin of the French Broad river, with very tall mountains on either side. We have about five hundred convicts on this road at present and it is said the anmber will be increased to seven hundred. We hope they will finish the road to Paint Rock by next July and let our force return to finish the C. F. &Y.V. Road. The farmers in this section live in small houses and ' fare sumptuously on the products of their mountain farms. They sell ns plenty of good beef, butter, cabbage, potatoes, &c, so you may bet we faro well. I enclose subscription for the Re cord, as I am anxious to know how things are going on in old Chatham. Your's Respectfully, A. A. Gnocr. Edgwood, Chatham Co., N. C , December 9, 1880. Mr. Editor : Some of us are so ig norant we would like to have some information in many things, and among the rest, how came our courts to be called " courts of justice ?" Really it is very well, for were they not so called some of us common folks would think they were courts of injustice. For instance, a peaceable citizen is at home very quietly at tending to his business and an offi cer of the court tells him to attend court to give evidence in some case he knows but little about, and so the good citizen attends several days, and finally is discharged. He loses several days from his business and pays hie own expenses, so he thinks he is entitled to some pay. Now comes the trouble. He just has to go to the Solicitor and get a certifi cate, then to the clerk and pay ten cents for his ticket ; but that is not sufficient; he must go the clerk and pay twenty-five cents to get him to certify that it is all right ; and then to the county commissioners to have half the amount taken off, and then to the sheriff to get half the amount of his ticket. All this by what is called a court of 14 justice." Now, sir, is it any wonder we com mon country folks have to be inform ed that this is done by what is call ed a court of justice? Yes, one re ceives half as much for signing his name as another for spending the day attecding the court and board himself. Now in the name of com mon senes, if the State is so poor that the common people must lose half their earnings, why not the court lose half theirs from top to bottom? Now, dear sir, will you, or some of your contributors, be so good as to enlighten us on these points before we conclude our courts should be called "courts of injustice ?" Luther Clegg. General News, Yellow fever is raging in Vra Cruz twenty-six persons dying of it last week. Sarah Bernhardt has been de nounced by the Montreal clergy, who forbid their flocks from patronising her. On one of the postal cars near Washington a letter was found di rected to "Hand Over Cart Horse." It was sent to Hanover Court House. Ohio has telegraphed to President H iyes : "Please do not appoint any more officers from this State just at present. We would like to get a quo rum in the Legislature.'' In a fight between Tennessee moon shiners and revenue officials, near Cooksville, Deputy Collector James Davis was killed and United States Commissioner G. W. Campbell badly beaten. An elegant marble shaft to be erected to the memory of the late Al bert Sidney Johnson, has arrived at Houston, Texa, from Italy. The monument was pnrcnased witn a fund rained years ago by the ladies of Houston. r A new feature in some of the lead ing schools in New Jersey is placing daily and local newspapers in the highest department for the use of the pnpils. The students are required to give an occasional abstract of news of the day,as gleaned from their columns. Train Robbers Arrested. A despatch from St. Louis, dated December I3th, says : "Thirteen citizens of Exeter, Mo., and vicinity were arrested to day by the United States Marshal for rob bing trains on the St. Louis and San Francisco Railroad, and taken to Carthage, where they will undergo a preliminary examination. Carolina Central. A fast train now runs between Charlotte and Wilmington, making the trip in 9 hours going down, and inreturmng, owing bucuutiuuiuiy ascending grade.

The regular passenger, mail, and freigh train requires fourteen hours to make the same trip. The Caroli na Central is destined to become superb road as soon as it connects at Asheville. Farmer and Mechanic. Immigration. Our State Board of Agriculture is endeavoring to induce immigration to thia State. The Secretary in an article on this subject, published by the Board, says : "Our agent in Great Britain, Mr. S. J. Fall, has commenced to send out a number of well to do English farmers. His work has been a diffi cult one. There is great prejudice f-against tho South arising from false opinions created by northern writers and from the presence of a eolored population with which laboring men dislike to come in competition. This prejudice he has endeavored as far as possible to remove. The conver sations of those whom he has sent out endorse our belief that he is do ing good work. It is beginning to tell, and there is no cause that we can see why, if the people sent out by him are kindly and fairly dealt with by our people, it should not in crease to any extent that we may wish. Of the sixteen persons who have arrived within the past month five will settle in McDowell county to engage in farming. Two on farms near Raleigh, four are in Raleigh with employment, three are looking for places in Chatham, and one will goto the western part of the State this week. Mr. Falls has advised us of the sail ir-of several families, all of whom will be in the State by January st 1881. Mr. Fall writes the Department that he has hundreds of applications from farmers, mechanics, clerks, school teachers, shepherds, in fact from men of all callings for places in North Carolina where they can get work. If parties desiring their ser vices would aid them in coming out say by paying expenses from New York to their destination in North Carolina, they could employ a relia ble labor and add to our population a healthy, industrious element, and advance their own as well as the im migrants' interests. We ask all persons interested in tenanting their lands with a class of farmers that will . cultivate and im prove them in every way and make their dead capital live, and those who are anxious to have the services of the other classes above alluded to, to correspond with us as soon as conven ient, stating plainly what is wanted, what wages will be given to good la borers, what terms will be made with good tenants, and verj exactly what comforts and accomodations will be offered in regard to houses, gardens, &c. Monument to La Fayette. Congressman Ward has introduced a bill askiDg that $100,000 be appro priated for tne erection of a monu ment in honor of the Marquis de La Fayette for his patriotic services in the revolution.
