A IjAkgb Lot of JTew Jewelry, AVatches, Bings, Bins, Charms, Chains, &c. just received at 7- ‘ ClIAJIBEIlLAIN’S. We learn that a lad in tins county named Hobbs, vvMIe cliopping wood cut liis foot so badly that lie bled to death in consequence. Tile reception room of tlie Benbow House ■has been beautifully wainscoted, giving it a Iresli and neat appearance. Since the ccld snap of last week ice is being put up freely. Some of it is as uiucli as two indies thick. Our raiuhliugs around toivn reveal tlie cheer ing fact tliat new buildings are still on tlie go in various directions, and that among the la boring classes the commendable disposition to ‘build a home” prevails. Wood.—Those subscribers who are to pay in wood are requested to bring it along.—Good, dry wood, free from big knots and suitable for burning in our stoves is the only kind want ed. * The Good Templars gave a Sociable at their Hall last Saturday evening. I’roceeds to be divided between themselves and tlie orphans, ns before. Rev.

Call early' and secure a clioice, 4lt ClIAMBEULAIS'S, 14- City Jeweler. Last Friday afternoon tlie Richmond train was behind about tliree Itoitrs, caused by a freiglit train beingoffibeyond Danville. Tiicse accidents cn this road are becoming quite fre ■ quent, and travelers complain heavily at tlie liad condition of that road. We learn of large quantities of meat being .j >st in this and other sections. One geutle- juaii at Jamestown lost thirty pieces. AVe hope our friends will not be like a[IIigh I’oint man wlio once undertook to speculate in l>ork and lost lieaviiy, and as the story goes, ticcams so disgusted tint whenever lie s.iw a Jigg lie would pelt it with rocks. CourANioNs.—Don’t forget the Regular Meeting of (. Iiorazin Cliapicr, No. 13, Friday | evening, the 21st. A full attendance is d-esir ed.

Rev. Jlr. Bobbitt, late past.r of the Met' o- dist Church here, is now tlie Presiding Eater of Cliarlotle District, and this week re moved hi.s faiinly to Munroe, which is ce ntral- ly located to his woi k. The best wishes of this cominuiiiiy' follow liim to his new field Several of our exchanges are blowing over the large number of marriaee licenses issued in tlvir sev. ral coiuiti s during the month of De-' ceinber. Well, perhaps many of them can ex ceed US in mimtiers. but tlie fact is onr ladies arc- all so sweet am! pretty that nearly all of hem were gone liefore December came. Last week .an illicit distillery was cajitured in the south-eastern .section of this county and tile wliote apparatus and four men brought to town. Tlie men had a preliminary hearing ..nd were lodged in jail to await the assem bling of the proper tribunal. Mr. ,Tohn B. Gretter lias conferred a favor on our business men by posting in the stores, offices, shops and other bnsiuess places of tlie town, a large and handsome calendar for ISfli, It is issued by llie Pensyjvania Railroad, of whicli Air. Gri'tter is the Passenger Agent. Says tile Fay'etteville Gnzelfe :—Capt. 0 11. Bloekirhas brought ns a enriosity in forced TPgetatio '—ti stra'ndierry plant full of fruit, some ofit almost matured and ready to ripen: It was taken at will from a bed out in theoiien air, and is only a little more advamced than a great many otliers. Tlie recent extraordinarv season of warm weather has certainly pkayed strange freaks Says the Salem Press ;—And norv we wind \\X! viWh snal-es in January. On the planta tion of AA’m. Ebert, a few miles west of.Salein. during the past w.arm spell of weather,four lilaek snake.s were killed on ins “new ground.” I.izards also made tlirir appearance,, frogs pip ed in the marshes, and a f-w grasslioppei's till ed up the measure of unusual siglits in the midst of winter.

I.ast Friday eveuing the regular semi-ses- sion.al Composition reading and musical con cert was give by tlie young ladies of Greens boro Female College. AA'e were unavoidably absent, but learn tliat all acquitted themselves successsfully. It is gratifying to know tliatthe popularity of this Institution continues to grow, and that the present session has opened with such flattering success. We know of no Insti tution in the State more deserving of popular patronage, nor a Faculty more devoted to du ty than (his. AA'eatiier Table.—A good brother in Friendship Township lias kindly furnished us the following table, which will be appreeiatial by those wiio would be weatlier-wise ; Kumberof days on tidiich iliere was either rain, suetc, sleet or hail: Say.s the Danville, (Afa.,) Times: Several farmers from Iredell county, N. C., brought tobacco to tliis market, tliis week. Iredell is a long way off, and the freight is lieavy ; but it pays them to bring it here, if it be ot fine quality. We learn that a negro woman went into a house up town to see the lady of the lionso on business, and after talking a bit the lady went into aiKitlier room, leaving tlie negro beliincV when the house dog came in and seeing tlie woman made at lier and tore her down, inflict ing severe wounds in several places.

Julius A. Gray, Cashier. Neil Ellington, Teller. Danbury lias taken one hundred and twenty- seven shaiee in the Mt, Airy and Greensboro_ Railroad, which amount will be largely in creased wlien tlie stakes are set. AVe arepoor^ liere.but feel assured tliat a railroad tlirongh our section will add Imrulreds of thousands of dol lars to our material prospe.’iiy and offer us the advantagesofiulercour.se with the great out side world, which all must desire. Nothing short ol a railroad will satisfy us.—Danbury lieporter Says the Caldwell Messenger :—Air. J. T. Powell iinoims U3 that a chestnut tree, whicli stood upon tile lands known as the Alex Per kins farm, on Joli is River, was recently cu down. The tree was 126 feet high, and the stump measured 8 feet in diameter; 18 rail cuts, vvliicii made 1,000 rails, were taken from the body of the tree ; the remainder of the tree lilule 15 loads of wood and 3 loads of bark. Near the above tree was a locust, the stump of which measured two and a half leet in diam eter ; 200 fence stakes and caps were made from the body of this tree. The two trees furnished rails and stakes for one hundred panels of fence Stewed Oysteks.—An ancient matron furliisiies tlie followng receipt for stewing oys ters, and adds tliat if any other mode is adopt ed the oysters will simply be spoiled : Take half a dozen medium-size,oysters, freshly open ed, and placed tliein in a lined saucepan, witli (lieir own liquor, and pour over them about a gill and half of boiling water. Let the vessel stand over tlie fire for a moment only, and skim the froth rising to the surface Tlien re move from thefire, ami pour tiie contents from tlie pan into a lieated tlisli, being careful to re tain all particles of sliell or other sediment.

Suit Against the C. C. Railroad.—The Roi-kiagham states that on the night of Saiurday, Ut of January, Mr. W.

Rot finding any street, Mr. Ramsay returned to the trail], which was just tium moving off. The conductor called him, telling him tliat he was at the wrong station, but did not stop the train, and it sped on its way, leaving the passenger beiiind. There was only one white family in the vicinity, and they could not take him in, owing to sickness in the family. This was about midnight, and he made his way to> a negro cabin near by, wheie lie sat up over the coals all the remainder of the night, fear ing to go to sleep, lest lie should be robbed ofa quantity of money whicli hehad in his posses sion, and wbicli belonged to tlie firm which he represented.
