Under tl e Daisies.
BY HARRY MAHM.KSTOM K.
Under the daisies, as white as enow,
My sweet one lies sleeping forever.
The summers maj come, thesufnmers may go,
Bui she will come hack to me never I
I pluck the white daisies she loved so well,
And dream as 1 weave them together.
Of visions too precious for mortals to tell,
Of meetings that death cannot seter 1
I fancy I see her in beauty await
To greet me when life has its ending,
With eager eyes watching the heavenly gate,
d»r song with the angel songs blending.
1 smile as 1 place oVr her narrow tomb
My garland of daisies, well knowing
That soon we will gather them, rich with per
fume,

About mid afternoon yesterday the
ory of "runaway—look out !" wis star
ted on Michigan avenue, near Cass street,
by • dozen persons. A young man with
the peach blossoms of the country on
bis oheeks and his pants tucked into his
boot-legs, hud just cams out of a harness
shop, and seeing the runaway horse
comiug down the street he dropped the
horse collar off his arm and made a dash
for th* flying auimal. Just now, how
it happened no one could say, but horse
I and man and sleigh wore all piled up iu
a heap the next moment, aud from tbe
mass issued snob a string of yells as it
did not seem possible one man could ut
ter. Tbe crowd separated one Iron) the
other after a while, and tbe man ap
peared lu hove been dragged through
several knot holes and tbeo run through
a thrashing machine. Some wiped the
| blood off his ear, while others bui.ted
up bis broken suspenders and uiissing
hoot heelß, and when be got his breath
bu f-aid :
' Ob, I don't care about these few
scratches. Where arc tbe ladies whose
lives I saved ?"
"There was no one in the sleigh,"
answered one of the crowd—"noting but
a sack of buckwheat and a quarter of
beef, and they are safe"
"Didn't I rescue anybody ?" demanded
the young man.
"No ; but you are a hero just the
same "
' I'll be tetotally mashed if I am !"
he indiguantly exclaimed. "Hero, some

DANBURY, STOKES COUNTY, N. C.
By request, we publish below, a de
scription of Datihnry, as given io Au
| gust, 1851, by a citison of the Connty
i While it is a deoided description of our
town and surrouudings at that, time, we
j will here state that since that event we
have beeo steadily on the march to
ward the attainment of the great ends of
civilization, education, and the better in
terests of the people generally. Of its
present condition wc will speak at an
other time :
Daabury, the now county seat of
Stokes, is situated.oo an eastern slope of,
the Sauratown Mountains; whioh falls to
Dan river, opposite Capt. Moody's Tun
nel Ironworks. The street on which the
principal buildings are going up, cotn
, mences at the river, and runs due West
\ along the undulatiug slope, five hundred
; yards, to a pretty oval knoll, the summit
| of which is ori the north side, and tbe
\ most elevated spot near the street. Here
I toe Court House stands iu bold relief on
an open space or square of ouc hundred
i and eighty feet. The Court House is a
I plain brick building of . forty-five by
I thirty-five feet, with a very plain Court
' room on the second floor. From every
window ot the Court room jou have a
commanding prospect of tbe surrouuding
country. Much of tbe scenery is beau
tiful; some of the points are majesti
cally grand and sublime in their wild
and savage character. Along the bauks
of the Deu aud hill bides, you see some
thing of rural life iu quiet oottages and
cultivated fields.
From tbe Court House the street
makes a slight angle south of west from
west, from which you can ascend to the
summit of the mountain, on horseback,
at tbe distance of about one and a half
miles Though the ascent is gradual,
when you reach the summit, you find
yourself from eight to tveivs hundred
feet above the river, at tbe east end of
I the street From this p .tut you have a
prospect as extensive as the eye ean
command, aud as grand as tbe imagina
tion can conceive, in mountains, rocks
and forests. To the North aud West
a curved outliue of some eighty miles
of tbe Blue Ridge bounds your boriion,
its blue tints apparently commingling
with the sky. South of West stands
the Pilot Mountain in its castellated 
grandeur, rearing its craggy pinnole so !
high as to iuteroept the olouds in their
course. South aod East as far as the
eye will bear you, stretches an intermin
able pine forest, iutersperscd with spots
of cleared land until the earth and sky
again seem to meet. In the contempla
tion of this sceoe, although the poetry
of the soul is stirred, you feel lonely and
little in the immensity of space which
bounds ypur horit ju.
The roads leading to the village arc
over rough and unevoo ground, and lit- |
tie improved, but, from tbe enorgetio ami ;
enterprisiug character of the men wlr> j
are settling tbe place, there is little doubt •
but they will be made iu a short time
qu te passable.
A change has come ovor thu spirit of
the people of this whole region. Three
years since it was regarded by all as
being just beyond the confines of law
and gospel. Where the devotees of
Bicbus, snd the furies held their court
untrammelled by tbo formalities of civi
lization, you now seo a Division of tbe
Sons of Temperance, numbering some
sixty members, offering their devo'ions
at nature's pure aud sparkling fouutains
as they gush from tbe mountain's side.
Manjrof ibis Division are caloi thinking
men, in whom confidence may be justly
reposed. Ou Sunday morning may be
heard from the Temple of Justice, prsyer
and pesos of prsise to the Architect of
the Universe, for tbe spiritual and
temporal prosperity of the eititens aod
oouotry
There are two Mineral springs in the
neighborhood, whiob are attracting some
attention. The spring immediately at
tho village has not been improved, al
though it is thought to possess aoiivs
®»diuiual properties, Mr. Thornton
Roddick's spring, (wo miles north of the
towo, is in rapid progress of improve- |
meat tor the accommodation of the af :
dieted. The water to a obalybcatu, per- >
haps a saline chalybeate The tesls used ;
in the exumiuatiou of the spring were
I only such as to satisfy us (hat the car- :
I booate of iron is onr'of the active in- |
gredieuts of the water, and the solvent j
of the ivon carbonic acid gass. This !
spring is situated on a long northern
slope ol tbe Sauratown Mountain, near
the head of a slight ravine, aud has been
neatly cleansed and walled on three
sides with rock laid in liuio tnortar, with
an open front floored with rock. From
oue corner of this enclosure the mineral
spring issues through a crevioe of (he
primitive rock, affording over two gal
lons of water per minute, at tbe temper
ature ol filly eight degrees Pah. The '
water is as dear as crystal, slight odor,
ritb a peculiar styptic taste, and is
ti'viugbt to be well adapted to cafes of 1
-«?tßseof pure atony or debility From |
the other corner of the eticlisute issues
a line freestone spring, throuuh a sedi
mer.tary rock, of apparently recent Iu - (
iratioo. Perhaps this scdimcntaij rook
was produced by decomposition on the .
oimmingling of tho waterß of the two
spiicgs in the air. Mr. Keddiek hup !
some eight cabins for • be aooouiuKi.datioti !
of families visiting the spring, in a f r
ward state of coinpletioa.
About a niile North of the villsgo, on
a bluff of tho Dan, is a depusite of liuiu
stone. From one of the caves of (his
bluff, we got several very pretty sp»ei ,
mens of stalactites, which is regarded H»
an unusual production for this region.
There is fine, unusually fine, wa ! er
power immediately at (he village, not
only on the Dan river, but on a tnouu
lain creek which empties into the river
uear the town. There are also in the
neighborhood inexhaustible beds of iron
ore, of superior quality ; aod some ten |
miles below tbis place, near the river,
arc Sue depositee of stone cosl of good
quality. Here the productive energies j
ol the manufacturer will at somo not 1
very distant period, be well rewarded.
Ou our returu to the village from Ited
dick's spring, we overtook a formidable !
rattlesuakc on the si ie of tbe ruad, and i
soou prepared a lasso which was las i
teced to tbe end of a stick, and ilitowo I
uoand Li* seek, by wVich we conveyed-!
him to tows, where, after hearing him
quiver his teb rallies as long as we wauted, .
•*c gspged bim and poured spirits of tur |
pcntiiie down Lis throat, which very j
BO'IU killed hiui. He may be seen at any
time at Mr. Fullers, in a fiue state of j
preservation ia spirits This was surely
a gala day among these mountain snake- |
ships, as there were six taken iu thut ;
neighborhood oo the same day.
A LOOKER ON
An Unpleasant Adventure.
Two soldiers of an Anglo Indian repi- '
ment near Luoknow, left their encamp
meet to indulge in a bath. They had 1
a portion of jungle to cross, and in doing '
so, the foot of ouc of ihem slipped into I
a hole. This proved to be an old elo- i
pbant trep. The soldier got his foot
withdrawn from the trap, though at the ;
cost of his which Ihe closeness ol
the branches caused to come off. Ou j
looking down to see whither the shoe had
gone, and if it was recoverable, he be I
held a sight wbioh made him shnke from
sheer horror. Through the opening
made by bis foot he saw an enormous
bo».constrictor, with its body coilfd up j
aud its head curved, watching the
opening shove, and evidently prepared
to dart on the falling prey. Hurrying {
from the spot, the (wo soldiors informed
their officers, who repaired to the trap !
with fire-arms The oreature was still j
there, and bad most probably remained
in tbe place for a long tioie, preying on
tbe unfortunate animals, great and small,
which tumbled into his den. Hall and
swan-shot soon brought the reptile's life !
to a close, and il was pulled out of the ,
hole. It proved to be fifteen fset long, j
and about tho thickness of a man's thigh.
