now, and we are all beginning -to get hun
gry to see him again. !- The last time he was
in he was vary madnd cussed on and quit
swearing that he was never coming back
any more. Speaking of Cox. we are, of
course, reminded of his sayings, one of the
best of which there no need lo keep any
longer,:, One day about two year ao Von
Meyerhoft was standing on the street, in
conversation with some one, when -George
approached him from behind. Seeing only
his back and mistaking him for Capt Fred
Nash, he clapped h.m affrctionatefyon the

hello Nash ! ' You've growed shorter and'

Those who remember the Von can imagine
how he would receive this little pleasantry,

The Homicide to Richmond Couirty.
We referred briefly, a few days ago, to a
homicide which took place in Richmond
county during the latter part of last week.
Our information was . very meagre, and the
Wilmincton Star supplies the following ad
ditional : "On Friday night last, in Rich
mond county, by a shot fired in the dark by
an unseen hand, Nellie McRae, colored,
was instantly killed. -The circumstances in
the case pointed to one Daniel McLean, col
ored, as perpetrator of the deed, with his
brother. Jack McLean, as accessory. Tbtse
are the facts, we learn, as brought out by
the Coroner's jury. No cause has been
assigned for the deed, as no particular
threats were made. Daniel McLean rah off
and has not yet been captur d, but his
brother Jack: has been lodged in jail to
await the action of the grand jury of the
county."

defence of the distinguishing doctrines and
practices of the same. It will endeavor to
incite in the minds of its readers lolty aspi
rations after Christian piety and usefulness,
and seek to arouse them to a deeper interest

will be published at the low price of 50 cents
per year, and pastors and others are urged to
send lists immediately to the first named
editor at Wadesboro, or the last named at
Monroe.

theatrical Companies and Our Position
Toward Them.
A gentleman who is a partitaa of the
Wild man Comedy Company, spoke to the
senior editor of this paper on yesterday, in
condemnation of the strictures which wee
made in it upon the performance at the
Opera House oa Thursday night. The gen
tleman acknowledged ihat it waa very in
ferior, but said it was wrong to criticise the nj
that Wild roan was a good fellow, and al
ways pays his bills ; that to speak ill of a
company kett them and perhaps others
away from the place. &c., Slz.
Now, these remarks afford us an opportu
nity to make a few. We grant all that is
said of Mr Wildman ; we have always found
him personally, a gentleman ; and to say
that he pays his bills is but a plain fact. To
say, however, that these things should pur
chase for him immunity from criticism,
when he appears with a company upon the
boards, and essays to entertain an audience,
is to lay down a proposition which is pre
posterous; yet not more so than to ask ex
emption from criticism for every company
that comes along, because, loraooth, this
nay drive It or some other from the town,
at some future time.
o We trust that we have some appreciation
ofat least 'the fundamental "principles of
journalism; and if ire haye, we realize that
there is a duty which we owe our readers
which is higher than that we owe any stroll
ing company. It is due oar readers that we
tell the truth about these things, and it is
aduty which cannot he disregarded. If
everything is praised, tour praise sjon be
comes worthless, and J;ubli6.' confidence in
the reliability ot the journal is gone. Thus
it will be seen that any. other than the hon
est course in this matter, would be bad busi
ness policy, even 'if jhere were no higher con
sideratiom top rompt iflfc iNtf.,;?., ,
It may be said that all eur tnej 'ndieea are

gives us pleasure to say a good t word fojr it
wh'eaeyer we canj'but to bve salcl any- ,
thing contrary to. what ' we did say; of
Thursday, nbt's performance, would be to
pe'jure, and not only sp; but to stultify car
eelCj. A combinatiba or jus individual going
before !the public, may xpect criticism if it, 1
he or abe deserve it; tny 1 have no right to
expect anything ebe' :he 'righe to critTcfi

The Fetner Reward.
It will be remembered that a reward of
$500 was offered for the drunken engineer,
Fetner, who caused a disastrous accident on
the Charlotte, Columbia & Augusta Rail
road, during the month of November ; last,
and that he was picked up by two affection
ate brethren by railroad fraternity, Vkkers
and S debottom, conductor and baggage
master on the Air-Line Bailroad. Vickera
proposed -. the capture to 8ideboUom, who
tied the unresisting captive, and the two
were to have divided the reward. Sidebot
tom went to Columbia and got the money,
but de vil the cent of it has Vickers ever seen.
The news comes to us, and ft is in the
mouths of all the railroad men, that Side,
concluded that $500 was too small a pile to
divide, and so made off with it. This is
what Air-Line men tell us. We don't know
whether it is tine or not. but we are not sur
prised to hear it. However guilty Fetner
may be. we have more regard for him than
for the men of his own brotherhood ' who
would take advantage of his misfortunes to
put money in their own pocke's.

need not be told our people how wU-KaUe
plays the part of Fanchon for ; they hatt
seen her, and having seen her in it once.
will never forget her. We look forward to
this as one of the greatest events of our thea
trical season. The play itself is highly dram
atic,: and in the part which she- assumes
Misa Putnam has no superior,' according to
the judgment of competent critics is
certain tht a e do not care to see it played
better than she plays it, and we are not less
critical than the average theatre-goer.
We that our Salisbury friends will al
so have the privilege of witnessing this com
pany on Tuesday and Wednesday evenings
next. We can : assure them ' that a treat
awaits them; and we have ao idea that they
will miss the opportaniiy of witnessing this
reaJly first class presenUtion of the leglti-;
mate drama . Trains will he run from States
Villa to Salisbury, for the purpose of carry
ing persons to this performance, and half
fare tickets will be issued. It is worth a hun
dred miles' travel, any day, to see Katie Pat
nam, and we expect to hear of a large num
ber of the Statesville people uniting with
Salisbury to do honor to the bewitching lit
tle actress and danseute.
The Recent Warm Spell.
The weather has regained all the necessary
coolness, and now the old people are trying
to Btudy up a parallel for the spell which ha
just ended. Oae of the oldse people in
the world, (we suppose) told the reporter,
yesterday, that in the winter ef 1829 if our
memory serves us right there was a spell
of weather very much similar to that which
has prevail d since about toe 20th of Decem
ber, except that the weather was warmer, it
anything, and of longer continuance. Then
nearly all the meat in the country was
spoiled ; the trees budded and the flowers
came out; peopleput on their light clothing,
and everything animate and inanimate,
seemed to feel that spring had come.- Pres
ently, however, all at once the cold weather.
foreclosed the mortgage which it had on the
face of the earth, and then there wot a de
struction. The fuits were cut off and
rained entirely, by one night's frost ; the
flowers, which had unfolded their petals
and oared their bosoms for the stroke; re
ceived it with deadly, blighting fores, and
next morning were no more ; people did not
get hack into their flannels and othr winter
duds quick enough, and colds pneumonias
and rheumatism keDt the doctors busv.
, . - w
And I mind." said the old man. as he Dst
in another chew, 'that I come mighty nigh
going off myself, that pop laid up with the
noniony for six weeks." Then we said we
were sorry he had such a bad time of it, and
hoped there wouldn't be so much sickness
after this spell, and the old gentleman said
he hoped ro too. And then the reporter
moved on.
