Mr. II. F. Grant, who represents Snow's

more thau anything of the kind we have
ever seen. Theee leaves, taking their
chances in the ordinary methods of
cure, stand at the very bottom of the list
in prices. They have some quotable
value, but that is all. Whereas these
samples, undSMtKiB new procefs, are
advanced to the dignity and vaiue of
"leaf; and in color and general character
can hardly be distinguished from the
favored articlo. It Beems to us that un
der Snow's process the value ot a crop
will be advanced at least one hundred
per cent, since all differences in the dif
ferent part of tl e plant are equalized, and
a uniformity of quality, and that of high
grade, attained.

Mr. Burke, telegraph operator, and

eniovment of a month's leave of ab
sence in Richmond. Mr. Burke's
former home.
Mr. Burke has well earned his
holiday; for fhia labors here have
been faithful, able, and perfectly
satisfactory: for to professional sku
of high orderlhe unites a patient
and urbanity that won him not on

witness his devotion during the try

Charleston earthquake.
We wish him and Mrs. Burke
pleasant holiday.

"We note the arrival of a car load

We are glad to see not only
the work of the Asheville Furniture
Factory receiving attention abroad,
but that it is attracting the atten
tion of the press of the State. This
section is at the fountain hea.d of
the finest furniture timber in the
United States, and it is worked up
with a skill and taste and general
excellenee not surpassed elsewhere.
Now we want a carriage factory:
for the material foi vehicles of all

Poultry . Farming." - ?
A recent issue of tlie fioldsboro Argus
says: " ' ' '' 4 '
The probabilities nie, that a poultry
farm on quite an extensive scale will be
started at an early day, near this city.
Now if such an 'enterpriz9 may be
practicable and profitable near G oldsboro,
so much thetronger the reason why it
should be so here, i The demand for
poultry of all kinds is incessant in our
mark et. The dfemand conti aues without
abatement throughout the year. Large
hotels must have a constant supply;
I jarding houses are equally "dependent,
and private families will not do without
the luxury of turkeys, ducks and chick
ens. The demand is hardly ever satis
fied. The supplies that daily come in
from the country are but a drop in the
bucket, and- therefore resort is had to
East Tennessee which seems always
ready as well as able . to supply our
deficiences. - ; .
Like many other things we lose sight of
what we could provide ourselves out of our
own' inrlnHtr: Climnfi.,"'i the readiness
with ptu;y,food isJ&tM, a well as
tne certainty of steady ana promaoie
market.
We want, not one, but several poultry
farms. It matters not whether they are
within one or a dozen miles of Asheville.
They would pay well within any reason
able distance of tne city, iny surplus
we do not believe any would ever exist
could always be shipped to Charles
ton, Wilmington. Raleigh, Columbia or
elsewhere with advantage.
But we would remind those engaging
in poultry farming that it is a business
that involves system. The capital need
ed is small. But there is required care,
watchfulness, attention to health, to feed
ing, and regard to lattening qualities
of the Various breeds. A turkey or a
fowl on the Richmond or Norfolk mar
ket is a very different crea'urj than that
which appears on that ot Asheville.
There need be no difference. What
exists now proceeds from that reliance
upon the unaided resources of nature.
We hope the subiect will meet prop- r
and prompt consideration.

this morning, and introduced Dr.
Austin Flint, of New York, vho
proceeded to read his paper on fever,
its c.iuse?,mec nanism and rational
treatment. His paper was largely
of a technical character, and was
listened to with profound interest
bv a large audience of Doctors.
President Davis announced in the
meeting that the amount of work
in various sections was such that it
was found desirable that they should
hold sessions for two hours in tho
afternoon. For this reason it would
probably be more satisfactory to all
parties if the address of Prof. Sem

be postponed until : 10 o'clock -tomorrow
morning, and that hereafter
but one address be delivered each
day. He therefore announced the
session adjourded till to-morrow.

of the brave and gallant men wi03e

London, Sept. G. The victims by

The stairway leading to the gallery
was literally packed with bodies,

there were scores of others piled

the door when the alarm was given

means of escape cut off. In a short

they suffered a horrible death.
There were pitiful scenes in the vi
