His health is delicate, but he has evidently improved since we last saw him.

We who have dusty streets, and also gardens would modestly wish for a good shower. Patton Avenue the side of it on its east end is rather nncomfortly cumbered just now with stone for the curbing of the new side walk to be laid down, and with the debris of the Johnston building now being pulled down But all will soon be right. We were very glad yesterday to see Mr. I' A Stikeleather again on (he streets. lie has been very sick for tome weeks, and dm tog his illness underwent that unst trying of human bereavement, the loss of a treasured infant son. We hope now his recovery will be rapid. Wo are informed that Mr. George Britt, a young man from Wayne county, died on Wednesday at the residence of Mr. E A. Bizzell in this vicinity. He cauie here in the advanced stage if con sumption with the hope of relief. His remains were taken to Wayne for inter ment. Harvest Begun. Esquire Green of Newfound informs us that the wheat harvest is actively go ing on in his township ihe crop promises an abundant yield, as there has UCCUl UUUJIUX IU glVC IbU UUUKDUt. Aim grass and clover are being cut, and the fields from the road side make a very comforting show of newly lrade stacks. This crop has never been finer. It is equally as good on the hill sides as in the valleys. Unkxpkcted Gift. Yesterday the Rev. Dr. Nelson, pastor of the First Baptist church, wes surprise J at the appearance of a fine horse, attach ed to a new and i legant phaeton, driven to his door; and almost paralyzed when he learned that it wita his own It wag the generous, unexpected gift of mem bers of his congregation, a testimony of their regard and appreciation of his use ful work; and also of their pity; for though the Doctor is not quite fleshy enough to "lard the lean earth as he walks along,' he carries weight enough to excite comuiisuration as he climbs the hills in his pedestrian discharge of duty through all these long hot summer days. Major vV. II. Bkyson. The Weyster Herald of the 10 th says: We are sorry to learn of Hi prolonged and serious illness oi Maj. W. II. Bryson, at the home of his son, Capt. C. P. Bry son, in Cashier's Valley. His numerous friends and accmaintunces would be glad to hear of his recovery, but his advanced age does not give them much hope. Our venerable old friend is near 00 years of age. We fear his long lease on time is drawing to its close. His last years were not embittered by his fallen fortunes. Iu his old ae, fallen from prosperity to almost destitution, his faith and his philosophy gave a brighter cheer to hie than ever his fortune did; and to witness his vigorous stride, and hear his cheery voice was delightful contrast to toe hopeless gloom that usually settles upon the hearts of the unfortunate. His long pilgrimage ended, we believe he will have his glorious recompense. At Law's New Goods.

Joe Caldwell of the Statesville Land mark is regarded as a somewhat rugged politician, little ).iven to sentiment. But there is a tender spot in his heart which finds expression with a delicacy as touch ing us ifu woman spoke. Tho waters flow when the ruck issmit'un. Speaking of recent causes of sorrow ho says : Six little mounds have been raised in the cemetery here within the past two weeks, v lve mothrs are m bitterness for their first born and only children It has been a sad time. There is nothing more distressing than the death of a little child, and it becomes doublv dis tressing it the child be tfie onlv one of the family, as has been strangely the case in five of these deaths. 1 luinaii com fort fails when the parents see the licht go out of the home. Every .heart may bleed with theirs and go out to them in the fullness of sympathy, but docs that help them when, bending over the pulse less child, they are ready to exclaim ; "Would to God I had died for thee ! " Words arc impotent to assuage this agony of soul. May the irentle Master, who wept at the tomb of his triend, who can be touched by the feeling of our infirmi ties, minister to the sufferers now when earthly comfort foils. The N. C.

But one case of importance was tried tit this court this week, the State against Culbertson and lusrani for killing Sherman Welch. The testimony for the State failed to show any culpability on the pait of Culbertson and he was discharged. The trial as to Ingram was progress ing when we left yesterday . Judge Graves expected to adjourn last evening, and will reach this city to-day. Accidents at Babnardsville. A correspondent writes that a ten year old son of Mr. J. Whiltemore while crossing a stream on a toot log fell and broke his left arm in two places. About the same time while Mr. W. Greenwood was riding in a'buggy with Misa Margaret Wood, the horse ran away, upsetting the buggy, Re- riously hurting Mies Wood, and dis locating Mr. (xreenwood s leltshouN der.

Mr. Pace is one of the noted men of the South, has a large inter est in the Richmond & Danville, is President of the Planters' National Bank of Richmond, i. interested, iu various other very large Southern enterprises, in all ot which he has been eminently successful, and Ins wealth, al the re ult ot his own en terprise, is rated in the millions.

On Thursday Ctl Nhn A.l'aggof this place reached the I o f eighty years; and the event was I V the' occasion of a very pleasant.l YRce' Capt M. J.

The -central objector interest was Col, Fagg himself, a native of Tenness.-e, but for nearly sixty yeaif identified with the fortunes and intereeW of Asheville. We do npt propose to entr into a biograph ical sketchi but wf 1" propose to iiote some points whic'iluiiiy uoi I'agg with thtdtamry a!A tcro!ic and of the country. ' s When the battles of ralo Alto and Ke- saca de la alma fixed the reality of war with Mexico, a call was made on the sev eral States for vol tin toe r regiments to co operate with the regular army, then in the liekl. and constituting a very small and inadequate iorce. North Carolina responded very p;omptly, and a regiment was raised without difficulty; and the stall officers were chosen and commis sioned by William A. Graham then Gov ernor of the State. At the st'Bsion of the General Absem hly ol 1844-5, Robert Treut Paine wastlie member of the House of Commons then so called from the county of Clio an, and John A. Fagg was one oi tho Hepr.'gentativeH from Buncombe. With these gentlemen Mr. Graham, be fore elected Governor, had become ac quainted; and they presented character istics that seemed to justify him in select ing, the first as Colonel of the Regiment aud the second as Lieutenant Colonel; and Aionttoru htokes was comin'csioneu as Major. Tho regiment was ordered to rendez vous at Smith ville, which it did omotime in the month of February, 1847, and remained in camp for several weeks un dergoing lessons in drill and the general amies oi mo soldier, it embarked early in March for Brazos Santiago, in the brig Samuel N. Gotc and tho schooner Harris m Price; and one or two compan ies subsequently sailed in another vessel the rame of which we do not recall. Col. l'agg was on the Harrison Price, and the writer of this was witness to tho castine ou oi the lines or the vessels from the rickety wharf ut Smith ville. the hoistim? of the sails, and the safe crossing over the bar put into the open sea. There was a daguerjtype artist on hand to obtain a picture of the interesting spectacle. His art was not quite so quick in its work as modern photography; aud the "instantaneous process" of the pres ent was preceded by one that occupied two or three minu'es. But a very satis factory picture was made; and mention ing our experience U Col. Fagg, he in- iormeu us he had it. The battle of Bnena, Vista was fought on the 22ridandTSrtJ of February. 1847; and after the defeat of the Mexicans, they retired far into the interior. So that tho North Carolina troops arrived too late to participate in any general ac tion. In fact there was none subsrqu ently on Taylor's line of movement, but guerillas swarmed and attacked every wagon train that ventured on the road, those going up to th army offering rich spoil to the depredator. This compel led large military escorts; and the attacks and repulses of the guerillas offered the sole warlike experience had on this line after the battle of Buena Vista. In this service the men of North Carolina were constantly employed. The fine stato of discipl in e to w hich th e regiment had b ien brought by the skill and the sternness oi us oincers had earned font the reputa tion of being tho best drilled, the best disciplined, and the most reliablo volunteer regiment in the service. Col. Fagg won his full share of credit for the cauees of the efficiency of the re giment; and his executive ability wasre- coguizea Dy nis appointment to the com mand, as Military Governor, of the town of Coral vo, an important post on the line of communication from Matamoras to Monterey. At the close of the war the regiments returned to the United States, Col. Fagg with four companies debarking at Old Fort Comfort, from which place he re turned home. His subsequent years have been passed here. Ho had been until within a few year active in local politics, and was tor some years post master of Asheville. Of ate, in simewhat onf,-bled health, but with unimpaired faculties, he hns spent his days undisturbed by careor labor. He is one of the few survivors among tha officers nf rank who accompanied him to a foreign field of war. Col. Paine died in Texas long since, .while a U. 8. commissioner to settle a Mexican bound ary dispute; Major Stokes was killed at the battle of Soven Pines. Most of the higher officers are dead. aud Col.

Ihe fluctuations in mdst stocks were confined with in a range of small fractions, and with the exception of little buying by London, trading was purely local and professional. Ihe apathy among operators was variously ac counted for by the half holiday to- morrow, fears that the bank state ment may bo unfavorable, and gret holiday in Boston tohdnv Theonlr special features displayed were ad vances in St. Paul and Duluth.

The Tei.eviione as an Aid to Satan. "But few people know how much hypocrisy there is in the world," said a young lady employed in the telephone exchange to a Jour nal reporter, '"and of that few the persons who have the Opportunity to hear all the telephone talk of a city the size of Indianapolis may be numbered. There aie not many men in business in. Indianapolis that I do not know like a book. I am not personally acquainted with a half dozen of them, perhaps, but I know just what kind of men they are from hearing them talk over the telephone. I sometimes am horror- stricken at the language used by men who, in society and among their fiiendsv are regarded as nice fellows. I have in mind many pro minent church members who some times make the exchange girls who happen to be listening blush with their talk over the wire. If there is anything bad in a man the tele." phone seems to bring it out, and a great deal is brought out otmanv who profess to be wholly good." Indianapolis Journal. One of the earlier governors of Missouri was named John Smith. He added a "T" to the end of his name as a means of distinguish- ment. lioing a man ot rugged character, of strong will, though unpolished manners, his peculiar vvav of designating his cosnomen was not often commented on. When asked for an explanation of his rea son for adding the T, he would re nlv: ''There are thousands of Tohn Smiths in the country, but only one John Smith T, and I'm the man. No one need ask who John Smith T is." Tohn ymith T fig-ured in some earlier border romances. Veiv i'ire Insurance Agency.
