A Pleasaat Occasion.
We tiro pleaded to learn that the
closing exorcises of Rock Rest Acad
emy, on last Friday, were so great a
success. The attendance of visitor
was very large and all gi eatly enjoy
ed the pleasant occasion. The scholars
acquitted themselves with much
credit to themselves and to their
teacher, and tho address delivered by
Rev. D. A. Long is highly spoken of.
A Harmless Runaway.
On last Tuesday the usual quiet
of our village was suddenly disturbed
by ahorse and buggy dashing through
th streets. Everybody ra.h d out
to see the runaway and great was the
excitement. Fortuual ely no damage
was done to horso or buggy, which
belonged to Mr. J. George Homier,
who left them standing m the street
a moment, and tho horso seizing the
opportunity started for home, but
Wet s stopped about a mile fioni here
by a man who saw him coming.
Prohibition Jlecting.
The Prohibition meeting that was
held at Now Elam Church, in thi
county, on la:-;t Saturday, was a great
success in every respect. The
fcpeechc wore good, the attendance
was huge, and the enthusiasm great.
The ad;h e-.i of A. H. Meriitt, Esq.,
was admirable and made a deep im
pression upon tho large crowd that
heard it. If a few more such meet
ings are held in Chatham the prohi
bition boom will sweep the county
with an overwhelming majority.
An Enterprising Locust.
Who would behave that a locust
could bcrc through a brick? and yet
we are informed that is what one of
our eatc-rpri; ing Chatham locusts has
lony. It is said that these locusts
make their appearance every thirteen
years, and in tho long interval they
burrow in the ground. This being
the year to make their periodical
viit. l):':y began to co;no out of tho
giound, but ono of them when near
the surface found its further progress
obstructed by a brick pavement: but
iu nowirte de' erred by such an ob
staclo this enterprising locust ac
tually bored through one of the bricks!
Nov, if any incredulous reader doubts
this, we refer him to Olio of our coun
ty eoiumisi-ioners, who resides near

Wake Forest Commencement.
Our thanks are tendered onr young
eountymen, Messrs. Claud M.Mur
chion and J. AYil'ie "Watson, for an
invitation to attend the commence
ment exercises of Wafce Forest Col
lege, to be held on the 7th, 8th and
9th of June. The Literary Address
will delivered by Rev. J. B. Haw
thorne, D. D , of Richmond, Va., and
the Baccalaureate Sermon will be
preached by Rev. E. T. Winkler, D.
D., of Marion, Ala.
The D. & H. It. R.
Wo sincerely hope that our people
will subscribe the amount necessary
for the organization of the Danville
and Haw River Railroad Company.
Nenrly a sufficient amount has been
subscribed by tho citizens of Ala
mance county, and if a few of our
eountymen will only subscribe the
balance which they easily can and
should do the company can at once
be orgauized and the survey made.
The building of this road would be
of incalculable benefit to persons
who live near its proposed route,
and they will consult then- own in
terests best by at once subscribing
liberally.
North Carolina Cotton.
Mr. R. W. Best, of the Census
Bureau, writes to the News and
Observer tho following interesting
statistics about the , growth of cotton
in North Carolina:
"Cotton is raised in seventy-five
counties of the State. The nine
couuties Wake, Johnston, Wayne,
Wilson, Edgecombe, Nash, Franklin,
Halifax, and Northampton produce
ir.5,000 bales, or about 43 per cent.
The average of the whole State is one
bale to 2 acres, while the average iu
the 9 counties named is 2 15, making
the average iu tho other counties
eery nearly three acre s to the bale.
Wake, as in number of bales, stands
highest on tho yield per acre, the
average being one bale to 1? acres.
Not one county east of tho Wil
miugfon and Weld on Railroad, lying
oft the read, will average with these
nine. Pitt comes tho neiresr, and
reports 14,oGG bales, Lenoir next,
S.141, and Greene 8,000. The yield
iu Greene is 22 acres to the bale.
Anton, Mecklenburg, Richmond,
Robeson and Union are tho only
counties not rained that produce S,-
000 bales and upwaids. Ausonhasl
11,701, Mecklenburg 1S.014, Rich-1
mon, 12.214, Robeson S,730, Union i
S.0S4. The yield per acre is below j
tho intericr counties. Edgecombe ;
stands next to Wake in number of j
bales, 20,170 being produced. The
average to each county, of the nine,
is tip wards of 17,000 bales. The j
statistics show that, this belt of conn-'
t?es comprises the best cotton grow-;
iug region of the State. Whether .
it is owing to the nature of tho soil
or other causes I shall leave to Pro- j
lessor Kerr or some agricultural ex- j
p rt to explain. I am only stating !
facts gathered from statistics, hoping !

Youthful Murderers.
(Statt-sville Landmark.)
Absalom Brown, a widower, living
near Vernon church, Union Grove
township, went away from home leav
ing his three children alone on the
lot. The youngest of these children,
a boy aged some three years, has all
his life been weak and
sickly,
and
the two older children.
a boy
and ;
a girl, the eldest about ten years of
age, conceived the idea of putting
him out of the way, since he had fre
quently threatened to die, but yet
lived on miserably with no promise
of ever being any better. They ac
cordingly tied a rope around his neck
and sw ung him up to a joist of a
house, where he was found a few
minutes later by a colored woman of
the neighborhood who passed through
the lot on an errand to another neigh
bor's. This woman cut the child
down and laid it on the bed, when
it begun to gasp and finally regained
consciousness. She then went her
way and returning homeward some
time later, stopped again at Brown's
house, w hen she ascertained that the
brother and sister had taken the
young child off of the bed, carried it
out behind tho garden and buried it.
Ska hastened to the scene of the
burial, dug the child up, carried it to
the house and had the satisfaction
of seeing it again return to life under
her treatment. Her good offices,
however, only postponed the end a
little. Tho shock to the delicate
brother's system was such that on the
Sunday succeeding his execution and
burial he died, surely enough.
Explosion in a Saloon.
A despatch from the city of St.
Joseph, Mo., dated May 24th, says:
" An explosion of fifteen barrels of
Danforth's fluid, stored in a cellar on
Edmunds street this city, occurred at
9 o'clock last night. The floor over
the cellar was occupied as a saloon
and billiard room, and was kept by a
colored man. A number of negroes
were iu the saloon at the time, all of
whom lost their lives. The exact num
ber cannot as yet be ascertained but it
is variously est una ted at from fifteen
to forty-five. Five bodies have been
recovered, all burned beond recogni
tion. It is said one white woman
was in tho place at the time of the4or two from Beaufort, North Caro
casualty. The building was instantly
and eonrpletely demolished. The
inmates were all buried in the debris,
which was completely enveloped by
the hot flames of the burnicg fluid.
The efforts of the fire department to
subdue the flames were of no avail."
Alamance Gleaner : In the course
of a recent address at Weldon, Mr.
W. H. Day, of Northampton county,
said that in his practice at the bar,
ho appeared as counsel in forty five
capital caes, and that the criminals
in forty-three of these cases, could
trace their crimes directly to whiskey.

day on one of Maj. James M. Mayo's,
Nash county plantations, Blake Ricks
struck with a largo piece of plank,
George Griffin, killing him instant
ly. Ricks then took his mule and

Woman the cause.
Franklin Times : On last Saturday
evening, while the storm was raging,
the two-horse wagon of Mr. E. S.
Green left town, loaded with goods.
Just as the wagon passed Fox

! mule and killed him. The other
I mule and driver was very much stun
! ned.
Sta'esvillo Landmark : Up to this
j time 225 immigrants have arrived at
j Salisbury and aU have been comforta-
bly provided for. A dozen or 15
have arrived in Statesville within the
past week and. have found homes
without difficulty, farmers taking
them readily. Others may be expec
ted before a great while.
Ashboro Courier : Bad practice for
boys to carry pistols. Last week
Mr. Thos. Lambert's son who had !
bought a pistol without his father's j
consent or knowledge carried it to !
the field with him. By some mis- j
hap the pistol went off, shot him
through the hand and caused the horse
he was plowing to run away. They j
will never do you any good but may j
do you infinite harm. j
Concord Register : One of the Ger !
mau immigrants who was workins
j for Mr. Lawson Misenheimer died
last Friday evening very suddenly.
He had been plowing during the
! morning, and at twelve turned out
! for dinner. When he reached the
I house he fell, and died in about two
! hours. It is supposed his death was
! caused by the heat and immoderate
j drinking of water.
Hamlet Argus : A child of William
Wallace, colored, was burned to death
Tuesday last. It seems that the ;
child's mother (who was smoking at
the time), put the child to bed and
went to the field to work, and soon
afterwards discovered a smoke in the
house. Returning as quickly as pos
sible, she found the bed on fire and
the child burned to death.
Fayetteville Examiner: On Thurs
day last the 12th inst., a general
meeting of stockholders of the
Fayetteville aad Florence Railroad
was held in this place. The contract
of consolidation between the F. & F.
Railroad and tho C. F. & Y. V. Rail
way was confirmed. Ono cargo of
iron for this road has been shippad
from England and is expected in
Wilmington about the middle of June.
Statesville Lankmark : Mr. Frank
lin Moore, who lives on the river, in
Shiloh township, has a Shanghai
rooster, which is a year old and which
has grown to to the astonishing
height of about two feot, but which,
notwithstanding his age and fcize, has
never essayed to crow until about a
month ago, when the consequences
were so disastrous that he will proba
bly undertake it no more forever. Up
on this occasion the spirit moved
liim; he straightened up to his full
height, uttered his first shrill note,
stumbled back, fell over a rock, and
broke one of his legs.
Raleigh Visitor : A gentleman in
this city of undoubted veracity,
vouches for the truth of the follow
ing: He discovered one of his chick
ens the other day, running over the
yard, with his mouth wide open and
head thrown back, as if in great pain.
He chased the chicken and caught it,
and on examination, found a piece of
cooked beef an inch long and a half
inch thick, fastened to the roof of its
mouth. He cut it off and the chick
en went its way, apparently as well
as ever.
Wilmington Star : Gentlemen who
have arrived here daring the last day
lina, report one of the most terriffic
hail storms there on Wednesday last
that was ever known. It was almost
a foot thick in places, and hoes and
other like implements were brought
into requisition to take the hail from
piazzas etc. A physician who had
been a short distance in the country
to see a patient, and was caught in
the storm, was almost beaten to death
by the hail-stones and had to take to
his bed as soon as he arrived home.
The stones were not large, and con
sequently the effects were not so dam
aging as they might otherwise have
been.
Greensboro Patriot; Some days
ago one of our physicians was pass
ing through his garden and noticed
bugs on his cabbage plants, destroy
ing them as rapidly as possible. Just
then it occurred to the doctor to try
corn meal on them. So he got a small
quantity, scattered it over the bugs,
and they soon disappeared; finding
the remedy a good one he applied
meal to the other plants -with, the
same result.
Greensboro Patriot : We are pleased
to learn that the iron for the Dui-
versity Railroad has been purchased.
The work of laying it down will be
commenced within the next ten days.
It will be impossible to complete the
road in time for the Annunl Com
mencement exercises for '81, but it
must be very gratifying to the friends
of the University to know that a
railroad to Chapel Hill will soon be
an accomplished fact.
Reidsville Times : Dr. Bane in
Went worth has in a bottle of alcohol
some of the brains that came from a
man in this county, who in firing off
his gun, before the war, had it to
burst and the breech pin driven into
his forehead so deep that when pulled
out some of the brains oozed with
it and caught on a leaf. The Strang
est is he didn't die, but served
through the war a gallant Confederate
soldier, wras wounded, and is probably
living yet. We never heard to the
contrary. We are a hard headed set
in Rockingham.
Wilmington Review : The members
of the Second Baptist Church, have
inaugurated rather a novel way of
raising funds for their Church, which
ha3 resulted successfully. The plan
was to distribute among the congre
gation a number of little earthen jugs
with a space left open near the top
for the reception of contributions.
These jugs were carried around and
aid solicited. Last night a "jug
breaking" was had at the Church
and $75.24 was found to have been
raised.
Anson Times: Judge Gndger, now
holding Court iu this County, stated
in his charge to the grand Jury on
last Monday, that he "had recently
tieid Court m two ao joining eastern
counties, each of large population
and otherwise similar, except in one
respect that the one (Northampton)
had a county prohibitory lav, the
other (Halifax) had not. In North
ampton he found eight cases, only,
on the docket, which he cleared the
fiist day. In Halifax -ho found
a large number of cases, which took
nearly the whole term of Court to
try, after moving some and leaving a
murder case on the docket."
Murfreesboro Enquirer : For several
years Miss Maggie Bell, the daughter
of Mr. John Bell, who Jives in North
ampton county, not far from Roxo
bel has been partially deranged at
times, from an attack of brain fever,
and had to be confined in an apart
ment by herself. On Tuesday of
last week. Mr. and Mrs. Bell were
out about their business, when the
unfortunate girl climbed over the
compartment and fell. The rope
with which she was tied, became eu
t&ngled around her neck, and when
her parents returned they found her
suspended in the air and a lifeless
corpse. She was a young lady of
about eighteen years, and was said
to be very pretty.
Fayetteville Examiner: Last Wed
nesday night about 12 o'clock the
alarm of fire was given. The wooden
building on the corner of Hay and
Burgess streets, occupied by Mr. J. B.
Smith as a ware house, was burning.
The citizens and the companies were
very active in combating the flames,
but it was impossible to save the build
ing or its contents; 100 barrels of
flour, GO bales of cotton, 25 spirit
barrels belonging to Mr. J. B. Smith,
were burned. All insured. On the
opposite corner, the building belong
ing to Mr. J. B. Smith, and occupied
by Mr. George Lauder, as a manu
factory of monuments, caught and
was burned to the ground. Insured
for $500. Mr. Lauder looses about
300 wrorth of marble.
Winston Leader : Wo learn from
reliable authority that on last Tues
day a most brutal outrage was per
petrated on a little eight-year old
daughter of a Mr. Carrol, living near
Danbury.The particulars of the case,
as well as we could gather them, are
as follows: It seems that Mr. Carrol
has been employed lor some time in
keeping mill for a Mr. Covington,
nearDanbury, and on last Tuesday
he had to attend court at Danbury,
and employed a man named Glide
well to run the mill in his absence.
In some way or other this man was
thrown in company with the little
daughter of Mr. Carrol and com nit
ted this outrage upon her. She im
mediately informed her mother, who
made known the circumstances to
the father upon his return, but in
the meanwhile Glidewell had made
his escape. Dilligent search is being
made for him, and it is rumored that
if he is caught Judge Lynch will pro
bably preside.
Greensboro Patriot : Beware of
pedlers who are trying to sell "pat
ent nostrums." Only a few days ago
we had a man here selling a great
"newly discovered patent varnish," to
polish up furniture, &c. He sold it in
small bottles at $1 per bottle, and
represented it to be a great modern
discovery. Since he "skipped" the
town "between two suns," it has
become known that his "discovery"
consisted of one gallon of ordinary
varnish and half a gallon of turpen
tine, which he purchased here at
one of the drug stores for about $1.50,
mixed it on Sunday, and sold it to
our citizens for about $35, and then
left town. There is one rule in such
matters that will always hold good,
and it is this: Ji an article is one of
merit, and a great discovery, it will
not be 'hawked' about the country by
pedlers, but will be offered to the
public through the regular channels
of trade. Let everybody remember
this.
Morganton Blade : Mr. Clem Fair,
the celebrated hunter, climber and
rattlesnake catcher, of the South
Mountains, was in town a few days
since. He is over eighty years old,
but is still stout, hale and hearty, and
can kill a squirrel out of the top of
the talkst tree with a rifle and with
out spectesles. He climbed the flag
pole at the celebrated Henry Clay
mass meeting in Morganton, in 1844,
aud drank a health to Clay from the
top of the pole, a distance of eighty
feet from the ground. He accom
plished the same feat at tbe Seymour
and 13 1 air barbecue in Morganton, in
1SG8, and the old man was expecting
to climb the Hancock and English
flag pole, last year, but was disap
pointed, as there was none erected.
Mr. Fair never was sick in his life,
and can do a good day s work now,
after working hard and hunting in
rain and snow for over seventy years,
and," though past eighty, does not
look to be over sixty.
Justices Imprisoned.
Messrs. Riley Gale, E. E. Sparks
and B. F. Bourne, Justices of the
County Court, Scotland county, Mo ,
a short time ago refused under the
ruling of the State Supreme Court, to
levy a special tax to satisfy a judg
ment obtained in the United States
Circuit Court against Scotland coun
ty in favor of tbe holders of railroad
bonds issued by that county. On the
21st inst., Judge Treat sentenced
these justices to three months' im
prisoninent in the St. Louis jail for
contempt of court.
Causes of Suicides.
An Alabama father committed sni
cide because he thought his wife
loved theh daughter more than she
did him; a California girl because her
father married a woman who was her
junior; a Rhode Island mason because
he carelessly built a wall out of plumb;
a Georgia negro because he could not
feel that he had a satisfactory quan
tity or quality of piety; a Maine far
mer because a balky horse exaspera
ted him; and a Michigan bride be
cause her husband of three days
swore at her.
i
Woman's Wisdom.
"She insists that it is more impor
tance, that her family shall be kept
in full health, than that she should
have all the fashionable dresses and
stvles of the times. She therefore
sees to it, that each member of her
family is supplied with enough Hop
bitters, at the first appearance of any
symptoms of any ill health, to prevent
a nt oi siciinesa witn its attendant
expense, care and anxiety. All
womtn should exercise their wisdom
in this." New Haven Palladium.
