We were concerned yeeterday to learn that Gen. Robert B. Vance was lying seriously ill at bis home near this city, with bloody flux. - He was attached about a week ago.

The county superintendent thinks of beginning the regular annual examination at the first of next week and continue to give some part of every day until the w'lole course is gone through.

A special from Washington City yesterday gives the following ; "rlhe complaint of citizens of Hot Springs, IN . C, against the Rich mond & Danville R. It. Company, alleging unjust discrimination, and excesive passenger routes from Hot Springs to Unaka, N. , was heard before the lnter-btate Commerce Commissioner to-day. Th specific complaint in this case was, that 55 cents was the fare charged from Hoi Springs to Unaka, a distance of six nules. the depositions- of a num ber of witnesses were read in support of the complaint. The railroad company through their attorney de nied that the complaint was well founded, and said that if there had ever been any foundation for it, it had been corrected before this com plaint was made. The Richmond & Danville Road had sent out sx. circular on the 10th of last June, reducing the rate from Hot Springs'! to Unaxa to 60 cents, but this had not been acted upon by its connect ing line, the E. T. Va. & Ga. Road. Upon this statement of (acts the difficlty was virtually settled at Headquarters to dav by the Rich mond & Danville Company agreeing to refund to every .person, who had Eaid this 55 cent fare, the difference etwe?n that amount and 30 cents. The Commission holds the case un til informed that the agreement has been carried out. , Tna Intense Heat Prevails everywhere, and even within the heart of the mountains people seem to oufier from the fervid beat. However there is a way to relieve this sofiering, which a great roanv sensible people have found out.

Henpersow Superior Coort.. We were present the two first days of the fall term of. Henderson Superior Court, Judge Boy kin presiding. . And we gladly 4nake the record that he presided with an ability and a vigor that at once commanded admiration and respect. Order was enforced with a" rigidity that at first caused consternation; bet when spectators observed that this was done that business should not be hindered, sentiment changed to one of the: warmest approval; and when to this was added the demonstration of learning, prompt ness, fairness and courtesy, Judge Boy kin had won every heart and captured every judgment He transacted business with a dispatch that created astonish ment There were 70 cases standing for trial on the State docket. By Tuesday evening all of those were disposed tried, not continued, with very few exceptions. Les time was wasted in- speeches and dilatory, motions than we ever observed Detore; ana me cnarges oi tne .juave were so 'clear and emphatic that the juries delayed very. little about their veraw't.

Crawford, the bigamist, agaim-t honi a bill was found Tuesday moming, was brought into court the sinne afternoon To the general surprise, he " plead guilty, submitting to the judgment of the court. Judge Boykin, alter rrading him a severe lecture on the enormity of. his crime and the danger of such oHV-nces to society, gave him fire years at hard labor in the Peni'entiary. Crawford ij an exceeding. y genteel "looking lellow with a pleasing countenance. He has black hair, and a well kept black moustache, was well dressed, and altogether calcula ted to be dangerous among t ie simple girls nut knowing in the ways of the world. ' Alexander Hampton, a colored youth, anywhere between 16 and twenty, with out friends and without counsel, wag put to answer an indictment for grand larceny, in robbing the Fletcher House, in which he was an employee, of spoons, knives, napkins, bed clothing, &c. He had also robbed another hotel, for which he was indicted. He desired no counsel and offered no defence; and he also re ceived five years in the Penitentiary. - ' There were remarkably few acquittals; but the Judge was lenient in bis punish ments, except in cases involving the violations of the moral code. There he was relentless. A somewhat novel, certainly a, very pleasing, incident of the court, was the presence of Judge Lumpkin of the Georgia Circuit Bench, who occupied a seat by the side of Judge Boykin, morn ing und afternoon, and - was a much in terested participant. He remarked to us that Judge B jykin was the best business man he had ever seen on the bench. Hendersonville has . a pleasant com plement of summer visitors, though no thing like a throng. The Arlington, Dr. Allen, is partially filled, mostly from South Carolina and Florida. The Vir ginia House, Mr. Stradby, at which the Judge was entertained, was pretty well filled. The Globe had a goodly number of guests, and so had the Fletcher House; anumber of the excellent private boarding-houses were well patronized. The College is used during the vacation as a boarding house, and is better filled per haps than any other place, mostly with families. This is one of the pleasant features of Hendersonville summer life. Whole families migrate, father, mother, little ones and.doll babies and the pet do8; and a happy life they all seem to lead in the unbounded freedom of fresh air, good water, green grass and pleasant shades and horseback gallops and other pleasures not to be had in the citirs. The place is well supplied with livery stables, and the streets iu the cooler places of the day are lively with well filled carriages and parties on horseback. The feature of bu jmer life there is quiet and uncon ventionality; and it is a pretty, and cer tainly a very sensible, feature. Quite a number of new houses are go ing up, and the town is growing in beauty and size. But it does not grow in a busi ness point of view, and cannot unless there is more exertion made to call atten tion to it Messrs. ilodtres and Smith, real estate agenU will do something in that wy, and have already infused some new life. Thev have sold recently some pretty properties; and are :iow fitting up an office with glass front for the full 1 in pi ay of the mineral exhibits of Hender son county, as well as of Whatever else contributes to its wealth. The press convention met there yester day. It had much to see, much tu enjoy, much t learn; and we hope iU members will all go home gUd to do justice to the beautiful town, the beautiful country in which it is embosomed, and the good people of whoso hospitality they have been partakers.

H telegriph to the AsheviUe Citizen. 1 Chicago, July 20. A Times spe cial from Wabash, Ind., says: A genuine hail cyclone passed through the northern part of the county yis terday, doing an immense amount of damage. 1 he storm came from the West through Miami county, and crossed the Lake Erie and the Western railway at a point between Denver and Peru. Its path through this county was from 2 to 3 miles; and'in that space no vegetation es caped. The hail fall was phenom enal every way. The" stones were of the size ofhen's eggs and could be gathered up by the bushel. A.ter the storm a great number of fine forest trees were broken off and piled up in an interminable mass. Not a field of grain escaped destruc tion in tbo pathway oi the storm. Tlit corn was ridd-tad and stripped of jjars aud silk the oats were threshed out and the stolks driven into the earth. Apples, melons, grapes und all small iruita and veg etables were cut to pieces and noth ing can be saved. s Standard Oil Works on a Blaze. (By telegrap'a to the Ashevllle Citizen.) New York, July 20 --By 2 o'clock this morning the great fire at the Standard .Oil Works at Constable Hook, N. J., which broke out at 12:30, was under control. Two large warehouses, three immense tanks, four big docks, and over ten thous and barrels of oil were destroy ed, nt one time. It looked as if the office, several warehouses, a dozen or more tanks in tli't neighborhood, a large brick store, house, the dockn aloDg the river front, and the manufactory of the Bayonne Chemical works, tli.- Oxford Copper and Sulphur Co. itud Slanderd Match Co- and the large lumber yard of Booth Bros, would be destroyed. The Standard people feeing their danger went to their wo ul Greenpoint for assis tance. Five powerful engines were sent from that place and they ar rived at Constable at half past one o'clock. Though the fireman kept throwing powerful streams upon it, the tanks, wSich was all . that eeparited the large frame warehouse, also used a a co operage, from the flame, also caught fire and was soon blazing For about half an. hour fireman kept the destroying uVraent from crossing the dozen feet that still in tervened, and i huy might have snved the threatened building had not a pipe at the base of the tank 'burst and , hurled the burning fluid up against the .structure and fired it As it was stored . within inflamtna ble material.. It was speedily licked up by thr HitiiHi which got beyond control and swept down toward the river. At the docks there had been a large number of vessels. These had however. ben - towed out into the "stream, but non to soon. Firet one pier took fire, then aiio'her and another until four large piers were also in flames, casting a lurid gleam upon the watere ol New York Bay. By this time tugs had arrived; and they fougl t the fire from the water; each of them threw several streams upon burn ing piers, and it was onlv the effort of men on the tugs that checked tht speed of the flames, and saved thr. factories and the lumber yards along the water front. . On the land side fire had also been gotten under con trol, and the office, store house and neighboring tanks were saved. The Standard eople estimated their lost at about 9l,tXJU,0UU; there was no insurance. Market Reports.. tBy tcleirrapa tothe;A8h.vil'e Citiaen. .

We call attention to the adver tisement in this issue of the excel lent School of the Misess Nash and Miss Kollock at Hillsboro. We use the word "excellent" advisdlv; we have known the school since its be gining; and more thorough and faithful regard for their charges was never performed by those un dertaking the responsible duties of education. Independent of the exaction of high scholastic acquire ment, there is most conscientious regard to the cultivation of the moral' laculties and the rennement of the social qualities. The princi puls are thorough ladies; their pu- f)ils come forth into the stage oi ife able, thorough ladies. We most cordially reccommend this school to the careful consideration of parents. The best soil for wheat is where clay predominates. A mixture of sand and clay is best for a succession of crops, and sand for a bright, stiff straw, but too sandy a soil is too porous for wheat, although good spring wheat is often grown on sandy soils. One of the most remai kablc studies in practical farming is the wonderful recuperative and restorative effects of clover on land. 1 his effect can hardly be exaggerated. It is a mystery to many farmers how a crop grown on a soil can impart, to it more than it takes from it. Perhaps it will help them to understand this to remind them that but a small portion of the plant comes from the soil. In a ton of dry clover hay chemists tell us there are but from 106 to 134 pounds of organic matter Sby which they mean that which comes rom the soil), and all the remainder is inorganic, or matter that conies from the atmosphere: Another fact which helps the soil is, that in most soils there js enough plant food to grow hundreds of crops, and often thousands and much of this in a condition in which it is not really available for the plant. 1 1 all's Vegetable Sicilian Hail Renew- er n 'ver fails in restoring gray hair to its youthful color, lustre, and vitality.
