A friend of ours, who has quite an autiqurrian turn of mind, has shown us three curiosities in the shape of three old almanacs printed in Vir ginia in the last century. The oldest of the three is styled "The Virginia Almanac, for the year of our Lord God, 1745." It was printed at Williamsburg. Fvom il, we leam that two eclipses took place in that year, one of which is spoken of as "a dreadful eclipse." Among the signs in this ancient book are some which we do not see nowa days, such as "Fiery Signs," "Mas culine Diurnal Signs,' "feminine Nocturnal Signs," "Humane or Man ly,, courteous Signs," &c. This little dim and stained relic of a by-gone age has outlived every human being that was upon the face of the earth the day it was issued fresh and bright frora the press. It saw the; light long years before the Declara tion of Independence, and quite a century before the star of the histo rran Goodloe had ever risen tgo shed new light upon old subjects. The next in point of antiquity is alio styled the Virginia Almanack. It was printed at Richmond in 1793. the seventeenth year of American Independence. Henry Lee was Chief Magistrate of the Common wealth at that time; and John Pen dleton, Receiver-General of Conti nental Loans. Among the Sena tors that year was the famous John Smith. Two stage routes are laid down one to Charleston via Wil mington, the other to Portsmouth, N. H. Tables for .weighing of gold coin and converting of pounds, shil lings, pence, fcc, into dollars and cents, appear on its pages. Among its miscellaneous pieces we find ta song, feet to the- tunc of "Maggie Lauder," celebrating the capture of Lord Cornwalhs ; and another drink- ,ing song called "Nothing like Grog." But the most interesting of these almanacs is the third, printed at Pe tersburg in 1796, by Theodorick B. Ruffin. It contains upon its blank pages a clearly written account of money lost or won at gaming, evi dently in the handwriting of Mr. Boiling whose name appears on the back of the book, afl2 in whose family it was preserved. From this record it appears that in 1798, Boil ing gambled with Henry Clay, long before he became "Great Harry of the West." The account stands thllS: Account of cash work which Was received.

The remainder of the blank leaves are written up with a sort of diary and index to newspapers pub lished at that day, and called by him, Davis' paper, and Pleasant's paper. In this, reference is made to the "Baltimore Gazette," October, 1797. It contains also the rates of postage. For any distance not ex ceeding JO miles, 6 cents; over 100 miles, 12J cents; more than 450 miles, 25 cents. Irom this almanac we learn that in 1796 the United States circuit was held in Wake Court House, and the District Court at Newbern, Wil mington, and Edenton, in rotation, the middle and western portions of the State being ignored entirely Following the court record is this eu rioua epitaph : ''.Here lies my wife here let her lie : For she's at rest and so am I." Upon thefour! piflirf of th rnf. tico of the Courf House -in tins city are four great, black, ugly posters, neing an .advertisement of Simmons Liver Regulator.,. They disfigure the building.

We stated in yesterday's issue that the length of the proposed lin of railway between 6j.tesville and Danville would b,e, 132 miles. ,Thw was an error. : v The distance is only 102 miles, making the distance between Char lotte and Danville 130 miles' via Statesville. JThe, proposedroute would run North eastward from Statesville, and strikg4Jttiadr9 & River in Stokes county, would go down the valley to Danville, thus passing through one of the most Ueautiful piedmont regions of the South.

The crop prospects in Ohio are gloomy. .The third drawing of the Kentucky Li brary Lottery commenced at 9 o'clock Tuesday morning. It was announced that all tickets had been sold and the drawing was full The scheme distributes a half a million-' dollars. A Jacksonville, 111., dispatch of Tuesday says that twelve and a quarter inches ol water fell between 12 and 5 o'clock. Bridges were swept away, and great damage done to crops. Many bridges and culverts were washed away. The spring wheat is flat on the ground. At Pioche, Nevada, one man shot and mortally wounded five. The difficulty was about a dog. The presence of officers in strong force alone pre ented the lynch ing of the murderer. Buffalo, N. Y., has again Jeen shaken by" an earthquake, which threw down a chimney in the centre of the city. A terrible domestic tragedy occurred a few days ago at Winchester, Va., between six brothers. One of them was killed and .several wounded. The mother was also wounded, and & now lying in a critical condition. Jealously between the brothers Vis Hie. cause of the trouble. The Springfield Republican says that Vice President Wilsonr has passed into that stage of health which Mr. Chase so long occu pied a paralytic invalid, to whom life is of most uncertain duration. The nature of his disease may not utterly destroy bis usefulness as a man and public servant, but it will undoubted limit his ambition and activity.

The Sultan of Turkey intends to make a long -visit to the Khedive of Egypt. resh shocks of earthquake were reported Monday morning in Bel- uno and vicinity. Count Cambray-Digny has failed to form a Cabinet, and the crisis in the Italian Ministry continues. Several hundred vmrrnnts, recently set to work on the trocha in Cuba lave deserted and joined the insur gents. The Cuban planters have agreed to pav a tax n $z lor eacn slave in stead of sending the.n to work on the Trocha. The owners of runaway Chinamen now in the Government depots, have offered them to the au thorities to work on the 1 rocha, and the Captain-General has determined to accent them. The anniversary of the independ ence ot the United States was cele brated at the American Legation at Madrid bv a grand banquet. Among the distinguished guests of Minister Sickles on the occasion were Senor Castelar, the Ministers of Marine and the Colonies, the Representa tives of Russia and Germany, the President of tys Cortes, and many deputies. There were no speeches or toasts. The looked for duel between M. M. Kance. the French Communist, and M. De Cassagnac, the famous duelist, has taken place. Both were wounded, the latter seriously. "Our Living and Oar Bead." The first issue of Col. S. D. Pool's historical paper "Our Living and our Dead," reached us on Thursday last, and presents a very handsome appearance. Col. i'ool ought to be encouraged in hi much needed and praiseworthy enterprise. Every one having the Southern cause and Southi em sentiment at heart should be come a subscriber to the paper, and the subscription price. $2 n year, is within the reach ot everybody. The" first number is one of great interest to every North Carolinian, and ought to be read by all. In his salutatory Col. Pool says: "Our new barque, to be freighted with the glorious deeds of our living and our dead, is tairly launched upon the sea of public opinion, and is seek ing its cargo from every county, city, town, hamlet aud neighborhood of the old North State, or of any other State where a native North Carolin ian resides, or where the memory of a North Carolina participant in the late Civil War remains. " While it may be years before the barque, full freighted, shall . have crossed the sea and reached its de sired haven, yet each week of that period, thp.se v ho take an interest in her destiny? shall be apprised what portion ot -her cargo is on board. The capacity of the ship is great ,the rich freight to be obtained large, but difficult to obtain. , Aided by many active assistants the Captain hopes that each week's bulletin of progress will prove satisfactory to all who shall read it ; and as brilliant achieve ment after brilliant achievement is stowed away and chronicled, that he .will be cheered with renewed tokens of approbation, from those who are proud to belong to a State that gave to the world the authors of such deeds of .heroism. It took more than 100,000 in en-for years to achieve the deeds to be stowed away in:ur staunchbaroue: and should the Can: tain and his y blunt eer co-labQrers complete the stowage. injikeiirne, they will haf aconiplish'ea'a 'great, work, and the protf d ship; Our Liv ing; and Our Dead," unaer full sail and 'with" favoring winds, -wilj gal lantly pass over the. sea of public opinion, and be safely mooted where no piratical or envious crew shall be enabled to cut her out, or destroy her valuable cargo." - i t'Thus preserved, the sons of North Carolina, in future years, shall point to the records of those deeds with pride, while thhistorian shall father froni tbeirfrich'- mines fof inform at tion with which toadorn .his'rjaes; S t -V fyn -vr " - , , and tnfougbTthern transmit to still later generations; examples Of chiv alrous deeds, of heroic daring, of pa tient suffering and of glorious deaths. Wher that time shall come, as come it.will, though our barque, "OurLit ing and Our Dead," shall have been laid up -her ?work having been fin ished and her Captain, her officers and crew be gone whence none re turn, her name will be cherished, and their work, if well done, will keep their memory bright, as should he the memory of those who pre served tam oblivion, the virtues ana the heroism of their countrvmen. "Cheered with this reflection, we appeal to all who can aid us in our labors to come forward with the ma terial to freight' our gallant ship. Elsewhere we have told of what her cariro is to consist, and of those who havo furnished portions of it. While much has been engaged, still there is room for much more, lhere is no dancer ot an excess or that our barque will sink at her dock from overloading. It is our duty to see to this, and we shall endeavor faithfully to perform that duty. As each pack age is received, the name of the ship per, whether officer or private, sister, daughter, mother or wife, brother or father, or some comrade-in-arms, who is proud of the deeds of our gal lant soldiers, and desires to have the memory of then; preserved, shall be endorsed thereon ; and when the -voyage is completed, the cherished relic of the hero dead or living shall be carefully returned vto him or her who sent it." Tli ere were' 425 births, 135 mar riages, 630 deaths and 40 still births in .New York last week. , TELEGRAPHIC. FROM THE AMERICAN PRESS ASSOCIA TION. BY THE SOUTHERN AND ATLANTIC LINE.

The conces sions made by the Shah of Persia to Carcn .Renter are the subject of much comment by the American press. One paper called -the trans action "The lease of an Empire," ana anotner uivinzation oy con- ract." The grants made to Baron Reuter is certainly regal in its char acter. Probablv no Sovereign has ever given a foreigner such preroga tives, the JLJaron is to build a rai road from Teheran to the Caspian, and the Shah guarantees live per cent, on the capital and two per cent, of a sinking fund. He also agrees to be responsible to the ex- ent of thirtv millions of dollars for the money necessary for other pub ic works. All Government lands needed are to be gi en free of costs ; nileges of importation without duty are cancelled : Government orests are at Mr. Renter s disposal. and the customs revenue at verv nearh its present valuation is hand ed over to him for twenty-five years. The fsi-rmers, iiv their movement against high freights. :re entering more into uetnil, and taking practi cal and economical measures in matters pertaining to the farming interest. ? Itie Indianapolis Journal learns of gr.-rrsges in that State which have leagued together and made ar- rangenxnfs to obtain ploughs ,at twenty-tive dollars, which heretofore cost them thirty-three dollars. Of course, wholesale quantities can he bought at wholesale prices, and the farmers can serve themselves very handsomely. In Virginia, the price of McCormick'S- reaper and mower, which has heretofore been $200, has been put down to $l-"0, and his oth er machines in like proportion. This reduction has, doubtless, been brought alout by the same influen ces. A Heavy Advertiser. Barntrtn, the great showman, attributes a large degree of his success to the ju dicious manner of his advertising. An idea will be gathered of his out lays in this department by the state ment made in an Eastern paper, that this year his colored show bills will cost $450,000, and his small bills $50,000. His newspaper advertise ments will cost him $250,000 the whole footing up $750,000. His re- ceip s are estimated to ne siu,uuu per dav, with tne net profits per week 6f$30000. A heeling, Virginia, has a boy w ho is one of the greatest curiosities "of the age. He is half white and half blapk, not in the mulatto and mis cegenation sense, but the lower half of hi hodv is whiter than white iblks usually are, while the upper portion is as black as midnight. II s mother is a coal black negross. He is but three years old, ami has already made money out of his pe culiarities. There is a round patch, about three indies in diameter, of perfectly beautiful hair oh the top of his he id, which is surrounded by little kinky ne ro wool.
