Its circulation is quite large and daily and rapidly increasing. Straw.—Some time ago we asked for information in regard to any one tvho liad good, clean straw, suitable for making under mattresses, to dispose of, but have had no response. "We should like to get some for the ])urpo.se men tioned, before winter comes on. OhanueoeDay.—'Without men tioning it at the time, wc chang ed tli( da}^ of publishing the Ou- iTiAxs’ Friend from ’Wednesday to Monday, two weeks ago, but wo siqipose our readers found it out. This change was made to accommodate side mail lines on which tlie mail is carried but once a week, many subscribers thus .. getting their papers nearh' a week earlier tlian when it was issued on Moiidav. aroused in behalf of our little ones, as a very inqKirtant part of th.at class it is their work lb go out into the highways and hedges to seek and lead to the Savior. Another Concert.—:Tho little girls of O.xford repeated the Con cert for tlie benefit of tlie Orphan Asylum, on Tuesday evening last. Although the clouds were some- wl at lowering just before the time for the audience to assemble, tliere was a good attendance, re alizing nearly twenty dollars for the orphan fund. hJotwithstand- ir.g' tlie fact that some of tlio little Misses were unable to fake jiaft in this second performance, the progTaiiune was filled, with the exception of one piece, and the audience seemed well pleased. Many thanks to the dear little girls ; nia\r they pluck the roses' of life witliout encoiuitoriiig any of the thorns. .

Mr. Slielton is the paten tee of a new process for curing tobacco, and will visit the tobac co belt of the State in the interest Of his patent.

The District Conference.— The Confovonoe of the Haleigh Di.strict of the M. E, Church, Soiffl), convened in Oxford on Thursday last. A large number of nhiliSters and lay dofagates, to gether with many visit'or.s were present; several fine sermons were preached and the interests of the church within the district were fully disciissetf. The Agents of Trinity and of Greensboro Fe male College Were ih attencfanco and laid the claims of those insti tutions before the Conference f with what succes ife' have not learned.

MACON AND WELDON N. kdwardh: A coi-respondont of the Iliileig-h News, speakiiiy- of the late resi dence of Hon. Weldon N. EJ- warils in Wan-en county, says: “This is a delightfcil country reBidenoe. Hon.'' .Weldon Ed wards owned arid . Jived at this retreat for a number of years: When he died hb left h’is int- raense estate to Mr. Manriaduke HawkinS; Mr. Edwards wrote a .short sketch of the,life of Hon. Nathaniel Macon. It was my pleasure to obtain and read a cojiy. of this fiighly interesting pamphlet for the first time to-day. Every youth in our country would do well to read it. Na thaniel Macon was regarded by .John Randolph only .Second for distinguished .abilities as si Statbs- man to Gen, 'Wasljingto'ii. War ren county has furnislied a num ber of distiiig-uislied men, but Macon, jicrhaps,- stands at- the head of the list, although a hea;) of stones is'- the only thing- that marks his last resting place. Ito gave directions to Mr. Edwards that they should bo placed on his g-rave. Mr. Edivards was his intimate friend. Not very far from this place the daughter of General H.. E. Lee died during the- I'ate -vvaT. A beautiful monument marks the - i-'esting place of tins beautiful daugnter of the hero who now slee])s near Jackson, at Lijxing- ton, Va. Wlioit fhb Su.spensibu B'riJgb at Niagara Falls -n-iis built it ; was hailed as one of the greatest feats of modem engineering- skill. Now it is considered as only a modbfafe fUtistratipn, anil will bo far inferior to the one that is to join New York aii'd Brooklvii. But a bridge which -ivill be big ger than even that enfey .and the largest in the world, is to be Con structed over the k'l-itli of Forth, Scotland. I'he height will be 150 feet, and the number of spans 100. The great sjian in the cen tre is to be 1500 feet, or nearly oiio-thii-il of a mile in Width, and the smaller .spans 150! It will cost about §10,000,000. A 'Weasicl’s The ingenuity. -svitli which .some aniuiuks entrap their enemies seems more like reason than what we consider i-imtinct, though what instinct really is, philosophers are undbeided. Tlie following- story is' ivell abthenticate'd .- A grist-inill ivas infested ivitlie largo rats, iiiitil a 'weasel caine tliere and destroyfed nearly all of .them. There was, howovor, one large rat which ho could not con quer. They had several pitched battles, ill -ivliicli the rat whipped the weasel, until whenever the rat aiipeared, the weasel would seek .saioty in flight, J'hey were watched for several days,- -ftdieii the weasel was'iibserved to be dig-ging- a, Itole in the the earth under a pile of lumber. Aftor he liad comploteJ if, lie aiijiroach- ed the mill, and the rat came after him as u.sual- H'e made some show of flight until lie- had- got the rat- into his hole. 1-lie rat followed, wlicn .-tlie weasel wa's seen to eomo out at the otlier ciul of the Imle, and run in at tlie ein trance after the rat. Suhseejiient examination proved that the W'Oa- sel htid made the hole large for the nil to entbr, lint had contrac ted the otlibr end so that he could ito'f got Out. Having thus trapped liis afliagdtiistj- thp weasel took him in the rear atid easily conquered him.
