The track is now well beaten down.
The tobacco market is at a stand

brought in before the snow, but the
weather is too cool and .dry lor

Our new Sheriff Worley has leased for
four years the house and premises
belonging to Mrs. J. L. Henry, near the
iron bridge and known as Silver Springs.
He will move in soon with bis family.
We learn that an engine was sent out
on the Asheville and Spartanburg road
on Wednesday on a voyage of discovery
to nnd Uendereonvme. it returned
without having made a port. The road
is still blocked.
Mr. Kissimmer Smith, of Florida, who
purchased the residence and land adjoin
ing belonging to Capt. Natt Atkinson, is
here looking after his possessions. He
has large interests in Florida, and will
not remove here with his family until
next summer.
Efforts are being made to clear the
Murphy division. . An engine with snow
plough attached, and a considerable force
is at work trying to force a way. But
progress is slow. The same is the case
on the Asheville an J Spartanburg road,
thougb it is expected to be open to-aay.
Buyers are on the qui vice for
Christmas purchasers. Let adver
tisers be cn the look out also. They
know the value of the Citizen as a
medium for making their prepara

yesterday afternoon from Mr. R. H.

of Representatives - frt omlJackson
county. He has just retfc-Jed from
Richmond where he disposed ot a
car load of cattle to good advantage.
He is here snow bound.
Cold in the mountains is not like
cold in the low country. The atmos
phere is so dry that a low tempera
ture is scarcely felt as uncomfort
able, always provided the wind does
not blow. With the mercury at 10
above zero, and a still air, no ore
thinks .of the cold; men walk the
streets or stand on the square with
out their overcoats,' and ladies go
about with the ireedom they would
use on a May dav. last winter,
when for several days seven the
mercury fell below zero, after the
first day, when the wind blew fero
ciously, no one complained of the
cold and only looked M the mercu
ry with curious interest. Our suf
ferings cannot excite commiseration
unless the wind blows, jtnd then
we are to be pitied.

Mr. Sooth wick of the Battery Dark Ho
tel delighted Lis guests and such towns
people as were attracted by. the spectacle
to m brilliant display of fireworks on
Wednesday nignt. ine only drawback
was the bright moonlight, but that only
partially dimmed the splendor, of the
rockets, the Roman candles.) double

tne brilliant nasbes on the snow covered
ground was something -: marvellously

Snowheaps. : ; : "
In clearing the side walks immense
piles of snow have been gathered along
the whole line of Main street and a part
of Patton Avenue. These 'piles are six
to eight feet high and eight to ten wide;
and meeting from each side of the street
narrow the carriage way to a very cramp
ed compass. If the snow is to remain on
the ground unchanged, indefinitely,' as
the court seemed - lO'. think, when- it
sojourned at7wtf:atnost serious perman
ent inconvenience will arise. Novelty of
tne situation might jnstily lor a few days
the tolerance of these snowy masses. But
they cannot be allowed to stay forever.
Therefore we suggest their" removal.
Labor can be had to do so; and in the
want of employment, there are many
who will suffer for the necessaries of life.
Public uses will be servedrwhile employ

will be given.
Value of Fieb Exten-guisiiebs.
On the alarm of fire on Wednesday
Mr. Southwick of the Battery Park Ho
tel, Mr. Randolph Curtis and Mr.
Churchill leaped into a carriage standing
at the door of the hotel, and posted to
the scene. Mr. Southwick thoughtfully
took with him three of J. E. Long's fire
extinguishers, with which the hotel is
abundantly provided. He had never
tested them, but had full faith in them.
Arriving at the house he pushed his way
into the room which was most in flame.
The application of three of these exting-
uisners instantly subdued tne name
wherever they were applied. The parties
were driven out by the smoke and the
fire company perfected the work of ex
tinguishment. The value of the Long's
extinguisher being proved, not only sug
gests the . wisdom of each householder
supplying himself with them, but also
tne good policy ol creating an exting
uisher -brigade. Many fires can ba con
trolled in their early stages without the
application of water, which coming in
such volume is as damaging to good3and
furniture as fire. We attach the highest
possible value and importance to the fite
company and the water works, and have
no idea of abating the confidence so im
plicitly imposed on them. But thore
would be no possible conflict between
them, and the one would be effective only
In incipient stages of a tire; still it may
be made an important adjunct of the
other; and we hDpe the idea will receive
consideration.
Builoing Inspectors.
Our intense interest in :thia sub
ject has led us to urgent with a per
tinacity that mightTmpugn ;tKff'Rftf;
delity to their trusts of those who
alone could take action intheprems
ises. We have never had, until
yesterday, the lightest intimation
that former suggestions had been
heeded. Meanwhile our position
had earnest endorsement, and we
were urged to Dress the suiect until
a hearing was had. The experiences
of this week justified our article of
yesterday. Now, we are glad to be
informed by one of the Board that
that body has been for sr me time
engaged in formulating a system of
ordinances applicable to the case,
and so soon as they are matured they
will be promulgated. And then we
pope to see them strictly entorced.
The Raleigh Carrespondent of the
Richmond Despatch says: Mr. Peter
M. Wilson yesterday retired from
the office of secretary to the State
Board of Agriculture. He has filled
the position since 1880 with ability.,
and much matter concerning the
State's resources,'&c, has been the
product of his ready pen. His snc
cessor is Mr. Thomas K. Bruner, of
Salisbury. - Tha latter has for some
time been the mining editor of the
Salisbury Watchman. He is not
regularly chosen secretary until the
January meetng of the Board ot
Agriculture..
Commissioner ot .Immigration
Patrick says that he has discovered
at Edenton the most attractive loca
tion for a sanitarium he. has ever
seeh. It fronts upon the splendid
Edenton bay, and lies about twenty
feet above the water, with oaks of
large size., standing here and there.
The discovery is important, in view
of the fact that special efforts are to
be made to establish a sanitarium
in that section of the Sta'e, as well
as at Asheville and Southern Pines.

Ouc party of railroad experts has reach
ed this city after tc long, fatiguing, 'but

between Johnson City . and Ar.btl

oiaiea iinve ueen peupieu i w western
wilderness, and great centres of industry

in regions remote from eoat, iron and
timber, the three prin e essentials of mo
dern manufacturing prosperity Yet
nere are tnese raw materials in sncn vast
abundance that the mind can tKarcelv
crush (he idea of their immensity; 'From
thVBlK Sandy river through to ' Scott
county, Virginia, are coal measures, of
unieasured magnitudes, and hard Woods
and poplar in virgin. JbrsU covering
millions ot acres. At f&emr are
twenty-eight miles of Bessemer ore of
tne purest quality A railroad 250 miles
long, of which but 160 miles remain to be
constructed, will open up all this - terri
tory.' and bring the ore and coke to the
blast furnaces of this Hanging Rock dis
trict which lies on both sides of the Ohio
River. In this district are more- than
twenty blast and charcoal furnaces,
many of them idle for want of ore, while
others are making cheap pig iron at a
small profit because they cannot afford to
pay for hauling the Marquette, Lake Su
perior, ore 650. miles.' There is one great
furnace and nail works employing seven
hundred men that makes soft pig for the
market, but buys iron made elsewhere
for . its nail manufactory. These iron
men tell us that when they can get the
Cranberry ore and the .youthEastern
Kentucky coke, they will require eigh
teen, trains daily of twenty cars each to
supply their present capacity, and that
witmn nve years their works will be
doubled. So much for this end of the
route But there is another view of the
subject of infinite importance to North
Carolina. The same freight trains that
bring ore and coke this way will carry
back coke and coal to the Cranberry dis
trict in juitcneu county and supply the
fuel for any number of blast furnaces
c!o3? to the ore beds. What that means
lor Mitchell county may be inferred from
the fact that within a radius of five miles
of Ashland is a popnlation of 22,000
dependent mainly on the iron industry
for a living. But let us go a step further.
Saproae Asheville were to construct a
road across to Bakersville to effect a junc
tion there with the Charleston, Cincin
nati and Chicago, and thus get cheap
coke. The Western North Carolina
would bring from the great deposits in
Cherokee county theirpurest hematite
ores, and blast furnaces in Asheville
could convert them into pig for distribu
tion East, West and South. The same
connection would give Asheville a short
line to the North East and to Cincinnati
and the Lakes. ' These are not specula
tive or mythical suggestions, but practic
able for execution if Asheville so elects.
Much might be written had I time, of
the immense resources' of the territory
wo. traversed in other than the great
staples "heretofore mentioned. "Jko coun-
xryis thinly peopled, especially in South
western Virginia. The greatest simpli
city prevails. As a rule the people supply
tueir lew neeos oy tneir own labor.
Geese and duck feathers and ginseng
purchase such luxuries as snuff, coffee
and gunpowder at the little mountain
stores. Homespun for men and women
is the usual material for garments.
Churches and school houses are far apart
except in the county towns of Estillville,
Gladeville and Clint wood. But there
are vast natural pastures abundantly
watered when stock will thrive, there are
rich coves and bottoms that never felt
the plow, there are tens ot thousands of
acres that might be brought to the high
est condition of fertility on which no
man lives. To all these now remote re
gions the railroad will carry population
and enterprise until the "solitary place
shall rejoice thereat." Jobi-
Another Fire Alarm. -
Yesterday afternoon - about half
past three o'clock, the fiie alarm
w as again sounded, and attention
was directed to.he residence of Dr.

which smoke was rising. The hose
company pressed forward with all
possible speed through . the snow,

the flames. The fire had broken
out in the chamber of Mrs. McGill
while the family were at dinner in
the room below, and had time to
to make some progress before dis
covered. A log had rolled from the
fire upon - the floor, -r burning
a'large hole, and thence finding its
way into tne ceiling, and thence
bursting out under the roof, serious
ly jeopardizing the building. The
flames were subdued with some
damage to the furniture in the room,
and some also to the Ttiilding.

The Forum for December, is a
strong number, containing as it does
ten able articles by distinguished
writers on live subjects. W. S.Lilly
opens in an article on "The Present
Outlook of Christianity," in which
he takes the ground that the greatest
peril of the present age lies in this
that those who profess to be teachers
of religion and defenders of the faith
so seldom endeavor honestly to-follow
out the lines ofthought familiar
to earnest and cultivated men of
the world. President E. J. "Robin
son writes on "How I Was Educa
ted;" Prof. Lester P.Ward on "Broad
ening the Way to Success-" Francis
Minor on "Woman's Ijegal Kight to
the Ballot;" Judge Edward A.Thom-
as 'tAbont Wills and Testaments;'
Major J. W. Powell on " 1 he Cause ol
Earthquakes;" Philip G. Huber,
Jr., "An Interviewer on Interview
ing;" Rev. Dr. L. W. Bacon "The
Alternative ot Froliibition;" Howard
Cro8by,"A Letter to the people of
New York' and an anonymous au
thor contributes the Confessions of
a.Iethodist."
The articles in this number are all
so fine that each one tempts to copi
ous extracts We . commend es
pecially the articles of W. S. Lilly,
Rev. Dr. Bacon, and the anony
mous article, Confessions of a Meth
odist. We must refer to tins num
