In special cars fundshed :oui pliineuuty by ttie electric company. the i-ei ty pulled -nt 'from the hotel about :0 o cdockiter a tnp over the "Route of the Mmutc Men 'first passing -ovvr Massachusetts avenur and Harvard bridge, to CamitfCdge. wa-kiug the first stop at Harvard Lmvew.oy. Here guides were furnished who curried the party over-wnnany of the beautiful buiri'ings und points of interest s onr limited time would iwrntit. Awwsng the most interesting sights here were the famous glass flowers, made in France, by a -secret process discovered by a Frendhinau and bisdaugbter. The maker is uuder contract to el I his entire out put to Harvard, whence this 'is the only ce'lecnion in the world. We were also -ehown Emperor -William's gifts to the University, since 'hw brother, Prince Henry's, wisit to the 'United State. It might not 'be unfitting to ad here, that in our i party was a Mr. Oox, of Charlotte "Courthouse, Va- who wthe oldefitihvirig .gradu ate cf Harvard and was tvclaes-mate of Longfellow. Jnr meat-stop was at iLesington famous in revolutionary 'times Indeed there are no more interesting poiets .in all 'New lEngland than over the -"Midnight ride of :Paul Rwere". As we stood bv the tower of the 01d 'North Church -from wfcobe belfry arch-on the night of April J6fch, IW 'the -signal light wm. jjiven to -warn Paul Revere of the approach of the British, we al meat fancied we could hear the words of the rider: "Hane one light if by land and two if by sea, A&d J on tne opposite -shore will be." This ohurchw the oldest church buiiding in Boston, having been erected in 1.732. The tower .con taine a chime of eight bells which wei-e-cast in Gloucester, England The communion service, t bearing tne royal arms, was a gut rrom Kiaar George the -feeoond in 1.720 Aort while was next givun us at the old house of Jonathan liar ringtou, who we read here was the last survivor of the iBattle of Lexington- When wounded on the Common April IHth, J 775 he dragged himself to his door and died at the feetot his wire. Stoas were also made at Earl Percy s headquarters, Monroe Tav ern where George Washington stopped during hi last isit to New England, and roauy other points of historic interest, but we must pass on to that which is of most vital interest in Lexington, the Village Green where the first battle of the Revolution was fought. Un approaching it our atteutiou is first attracted to the noble bronze statue of Capt. John Parker, com mander of the Minute. Men. The statue surmounts a drinking foun tain constructed of fieldstoue, and is the gift of Frances Brown Hayes. Near the upper corner of the Green is a picturesque boulder bear ing the words, "Line of the Minute Men, April llth, 1775 'Stand your ground Don't tire until fired upon, but if they mean to have a war let it begin here' Capt. John Parker." Frjm Lexington our cars passed on to Concord. In this quaint old vil lage, whose very atmosphere breathes antiquity, our first stop was at the Old Wright Tavern, erected in 1747. On the beautiful lawn of the old Tavern an ekgant lunch was served. Indeed jnstice was done to the boun ties ofgood thingj fo'r we had been supplied with so much historic food, that just at this time the "in ner man" was beginning to want a share in the days occupation. After an hour spent here carriages were taken for a drive down Monumenc street to tbe old picturesque bri-Jge, across which the Americans and British had their final struggle here the fire of the Minute Men had a telling effect and the "red coats" began the retreat toward Bos ton. It was this old rustic bridge, made so beautiful by nature's hand, that isspired Emerson to write of ifce rude bridge that spans the stream." Our literary pilgrimage then carried us on y "The Old Manse," made tamoas by Hawthorne's "'Moss es from an Old Manse." This was built ten years before the Revolu tion and was Hawthorne's home for many years. 'Continued on fmirth page,) OIL IN STANLEY.

NORTH CAROLINA COAL la Miioi-e and Chatham Counties the Same as in Virginia In Age and Formation. For several years practically all the coal production of North Caro lina has been from oue mine, the Cumnock, near Egypt in Chatham county. The output has been very irregular and during the last three years has notably declined. The largest production in recent years was in 1S99, when 2H.SOt5 short tons were mined. There are two areas in North Carolina, says Mr. E. W. Parker, statistician of the United States Geological Survey, in a forthcoming report, in which coal occurs. Both of these are found in the Triassic formation and are of the same age as the Richmond coal basin in Vir ginia. The two areas are known a3 the Deep and Dan River lields, being named from the two river? that drain them. The only pro ductive beds at present are those m the Deep River district, in Chatham aud Moore counties. KILLED FIVE FOXES Stirrt-sst'iil Hunt of the Asheboro I'-o Hunters ( luh Last t ek. . J. C.
