' I v) The owners of The Crowder's Mountain Iron Works beg to call the attention of capitalists trou " jiauulaciurers, stock and dairy men, and those who wish to settle colonies, to their property .which oilers inducements to the classes above named. The propel ly consists of blx Thousand Three Hundred Aires ot land, located In the counties of tiaston und Cleaveland, In the State of North Car oilna, at King's Mountain Depot, on the Atlanta and Charlotte Air laue railway, now owned by the Richmond and Danville railroad company. The property has been used for hi ly years past as an Iron property, and has been worked at various points, but chleuy at the site of the celebrated ellow Ridge Ore Bank, which has always yielded au ore noted for Its richness in metallic iron, and Its softness and toughness. This vein of ore, which extends lor two miles In length, has been worked to the dept f 147 feet, shewing at that depth a vein of ore about 40 feet wide, and analys ing as high as 66" per cent, of metallic iron. This vein has not been worked for twenty years, but the (acts set forth can be fully shown. Various other veins have been worked, and within the past two years very large deposits of iron ore have been dis covered at other points. Within the past eighteen months, however, the owners have discovered de posits of ore In Crowder's Mountain, (live veins of Iron ore, are exposed), which were unknown be fore, and which will , furnish an amount of good ore, easily worked and above water, that must make It one of the most desirable iron properties to be found. - They have discovered on the pinnacle ot this mountain, which is 1UU0 feet above the level land, 20J0 feet above the sea level, a vein of ore eight feet wide, which crops out at various points from the top to the bottom of the mountain, show ing in one place about 20 feet of solid vein. This vein can be traced over the top of the mountain for over a mile, and this deposit alone would afford an almost inexhaustible supply of ore, easily worked, and above the water line. In addition to this f our other vein neve been found on this mountain. The ore Is a mottled gray ore, showing on analysis from 49 to 66 per cent, of metallic iron, with a I small amount of titanic acid, and without any sul phur or phosphorus. The quantity of ore in this mountain Is simply Inexhaustible and of good quality. Besides Crowder's Mountain the owners possess King's Mountain, for about seven miles, whose pinnacle is the highest point of land from Rich mond to Atlanta, except ML Airy, In Georgia, and they have reason to believe this mountain is full of ore also. In addition to iron ore the property has manganese, limestone clay for making hce-proof brick, gold and other minerals. Very pure and ex cellent barytese has Just been found In large quan tity. As a stock and dairy farm 1 offers fine opportu nities to those who may wish to engage In such bus iness. It has from three to four thousand acres oi level or only slightly rolling land, which produces tcrass, grain and all kinds of farming products iinely, and it Is well supplied with water by unfall ng springs and branches - - : The other 4,000 acres embraced in' the mountain sides are productive of fine grass and herdage, and Sord excellent natural pasturage for sheep and cattle, The climate is so mild that but little shel ter for stock is needed In the coldest winters. The whole six thousand acres are now covered with a One growth ot timber of all kinds, such as pine, hickory, oak, walnut, cedar, etc. The Jand Is well suited to farming purposes, by those who wish to colonize. Cotton, corn, peas, oats, clover and grass, and fruits of all kinds are produced beautifully md it is specially suited to grapes and small fruits. It could be divided Into small farms that would give to each farm variety of soil, and level and hilly and. It is situated in the Piedmont belt, which is noted for the salubrity of Its climate, and the healthiness of Us atmosphere. It is a region free from malaria and other unhealthy Influences. it Is located with great convenience to railroad facul ties, being situated at from two to four miles from King's Mountain Station, on a railway that has the most extensive connections with all parts of the country, and which offers great Inducements to those who are trying to develop the country along its lines. The owners will sell this property to suit purchasers, as follows: The whole tract, including mineral lnterests,tor Sixty three Thousand Dollars, or will make favorable terms, reserving the min eral interest, or will sell one-naif the mineral In terest, payments to be one-third cash, balance in one ortwyen- A valuable water power, which has been used to run large rolling mills, lies adjacent to this prop erty, and can be bought cheaply.!

With proper management, proper encouragement and necessary legal protection sheep culture in North Carolina could and would become one of its leading industries. In near ly every portipn of the State from the mountains to the sea board sheep thrive, and are raised with but little difficulty. ' In , nearly all the State natural pasturage is abundant, and where it ; in 'not ! the ; grasses upon which the " sheep feeds are grown without difficulty, but the trouble thus far in the succ&sful and profit able pursuit of that industry by those who have attempted it is in the de struction to the flocks by ' the dogs that run at large and feed upon and destroy them. It is no uncommon thing to read of the destruction of eight or ten, sometimes more in one night, in this or that locality, by prowling dogs, and from" this the sheep owner has neither protection nor redress.- ! The consequence is as an industry it is practically abandon ed, the farmer who might readily have flocks ! numbering hundreds, keeping but a few upon which he is willing to take his chances with the dogs. No legislature has met in this State for years, back that this ' sub ject has not been brought to -its at tention; and efforts made to secure some sort of protecting legislation, but thus far without any . practical results, so that the dog. still: remains master of the; field, and the sheep which venture bejond the barn is still his victim. There ; is neither sense nor;: business, ; nor reason in tliis. .' There is no reason why an in dustry which would if properly pro tected yield a splendid ' revenue to the farmers of the State should be strangled and made Impossible when the only thing in' the way is the roaming Jeg.i whom nobody seems to own. There" are good dogs and bad dogs, useful dogs and useless dogs,' dogs that do no harm and dog -that do more harm than all the dog family is worth. .' If a dog be a good, useful dog, his. owner ought to .be willing to put a value upon him and pay tax upon him as t- he does on his horse, cow or hog. If the dog is use less and valueless he is a nuisance that ought to be abated, and it ought to be the duty of officers of the law. to dispatch that kind of dogs on sight. The valuable dog shouTd be consider ed property in law, ; should wear a collar with the. name of the owner upon, it, so that he may be identified in case of depredation, : and 1 the dog at large . without such collar upon him," should ' be ontlawed and de spatched on sight. .This is the-shortest, and it seems io us the only effec tive, way of abating the dog nuisance and making profitable sheep husband ry possible as an ' industry in this State. - , . COOKING FOR INVALIDS. ; Miss Corson who is now delivering a -series of lectures on cookery in Baltimore tells how to prepare the following dishes for invalids; ; To ' prepare beef " tea, chop one pound of lean beef, from the round very fine ; soak it for at least an hour in one pint of cold water ; if there is time let it soak two hours; put it over the fire in the same water, and let it slowly reach the boiling point; strain it through a sieve, which will, retain only the bits of meat and allow the ; coagulated . albumen to ' pass through ; a little : seasoning may be added if the physician: permits. If the cooking of trie beef tea is checked at 140 degrees Fahr, its alhumen will be perfectly soluble," ard therefore more digestible for very weak inval ids. - "To increase the nutriment and' bulk of beef tea, put a tablespoonful of sago, rice or pearl barley over the fire in half a pint of cold water, after the beef, has been put to soak, and gradually soften the. grain by gentle .heat, stirring it often enough to pre vent Durning ; ine water wnj oe aos 8orbed during the cooking . of the grain; when the beef tea is done, add the grain to it, season it and serve it. A small bit of a red pepper pod, or a very little smoked beef, may some times be added to the beef tea to va ry its flavor and stimulate the ap petite." f ""'H1': i;Y'-";.. Sweetbreads blanched was the next Subject , "Wash the sweetbreads in cold water, and ' then soak them in cold salted water for an hour or lon ger, Next put ' them over ' the fire in sufficient cold water, to cover them, and let them slowly approach the boiling point; after they boil re move them from the fire,, put them again in cold water, and when they are cool trim off all particles of flesh and veins that may be attached" to them and strip away any dark mem branes which may be perceptible; this entire process must be followed in the preparation of sweetbreads when it is desirable to have them white. It is during the-' boiling that any desired flavor may be imparted to them by bofling them with the necessary ingredients; salt, of course, whole pepper,- cloves, mace, cinna mon,' bayleaves, parsley, sweet herbs or onions, these flavors being varied to suit individual tastes. After the sweetbreads are blanched they can be cooked in many ways. - They are generally so expensive as to be avail able only for small dishes, or for gar niahes; they are so delicate and di gestible that they are excellent food for invalids. ' "- ' I "For sweetbreads broiled with ba can blanch two sweetbreads and 6lice them about quarter of an inch thick: si ice as many pieces of bacon as there are pieces of sweetbread; place them alternately on small skewers, between the bars of a buttered double-wire gridiron, and quickly boil them over a hot fire; lay the skewers ion a hot dish, season their contents with a littte salt, cayenne and butter, and serve them at once, when" their lose is permitted by the physician. "For besf juice slice juicy leaii beef from the round n inch thick. ; broil It quickly over, a" very hot fire, but without burning until it is brown on both sides," L ty it in a hot'loup platej cut it through in all parts with a very sharp knife and set another hot plate on it, with tue b ttoua against the meat ; then grasp both the plates firmly and press them togeth er, squeezing the juice from the meat. Let it run into another dish or upon a slignt ot delicate toast, and serve it at once ; the . physician will indicate tne seasoning., .'- . -- t "To prepare lOast suitable for inval ids, cut stale bread in slices half an inch thick, and trim off the crusts then hold it far enough away from tne nre to dry ft before browning it; it should be of a delicate brown color and quite dry in the middle . of . the slice ; in tbis condition it is more easily-digested; than when : made so quickly that the moisture of , tne bread remains in it. ; CIRCULATION. The Raleigh News" and Observer j commenting in its issue of the 28th on the necessity of giving that paper the public printing, says: "The combined subscription lists of the three papers in North - Carolina that take, the Press dispatches foot up about 4, 500 ! Newspapers cannot be forced ; they must grow accord ing to their opportunities." j We have "no ? means of knowing what the circulation of . the News and Observer'and. the' Star is, , but we do know that The' Observer has more than its proportion of the 4,500, Our circulation was never, larger than at present, and the only thing we object to is that Brother ' Ashe uses his figures rather recklessly." j The 244,000 Indians in the limits of the1 United States occupy 135,900,000 acres of land. The Indian Territory, estimated to be able to sustain within its area of 44,154,240 acres a popula tion of four or five millions, S at present occupied by abbut82,000 Inf. dians. A large portion of the north western portion of the Territory- is desert and hardly habitable, ana but 26,000,000 acres have been' surveyed and set apart as reservations for the Indians. . -j ; The total value of charitable prop erty in the State of New .York on October 1, 1 884, was $46,856, 670, against $43,303,478 on October 1,1883.' The receipts were $11,433,868, and the expenditures $10,642,763, against re ceipts ot $10,772,262 and expenditures of $9,983,037 in 1883 V ! '4 ... ! John C. Spooner, U. S. Senator elect from Wisconsin, is a native of Indiana, served as a private in a Wisconsin regiment during the war, was afterwards private secretary of Gov. Fairchild.

Cincinnati Enquirer. .. ., i New England granted 2,113 divor ces in 1878. In that year he ratio between divorces and marriages in Massachusetts was 1 to 21, m Con necticut 1 to 10. in Vermont 1 to 14, and in Rhode Island 1 to 11. Oh the basis of population there was 1 di vorce to every 1,357 inhabitants ' in Maine;. 1 to every 1,430 in. New Hampshire; 1 to every 1,687 in Ver-f mont: 1 to every 2.97l! in Massachu setts, and 1 to every 1,411 in Rhode Island. In 29 counties ot California the ratio of divorces to marriages is 1 to 7. In two leading counties of Minnesota divorces . are increasing 50 per cent, faster than marriages. The ratio of , divorces to marriages the country over has doubled in thirty years. The present rate of increase is even greater. Ohio granted 873 divorces in 1865,; and 1,905 in 1883. This is an increase of 233 per cent in nineteen years. The population increased but 36 per cent, and the number of marriages 30 per cent, during the same : period. A comparison of the year 1868 with 1883 would mafce a worse snowing. The ratio of divorces to marriages in 1883 was 1 to 16 ; in; Ashtabula coun ty; it; was 1 to 4 ; in three counties in the northern part of the State it was 1 to 5 : m nine counties, mostly in the North and west, it was 1 to 7; in forty three counties throughout the State, the fewest being in the south east, it was 1 to 10. v In the , State outside of Hamilton county, from which no statistics are given, there was 1,607 divorces and 27,133 marf riages, or 1 divorce to '15 marriages.'
