The borins has reached the denth nf 70 rw .,! ; so far through indurated clay oridecorru.! pwrou roct. me iiutraToc TSU.Br-tySaPd The Asheville Coal and Ice Company under the superintendence of Capt. W B Troy, located at the old depot in West Asheville, is doing a lively trade. It has been established only a few week, but has already sold about fifty car-loads of coal, and a large quantity of ice, and is expecting to do a much livelier this winter. Our citizens are acting wisely by laying in their fuel ere the approach of cool weather. The ice now handled is from Northern factories, but in a few months it will be manufactured from our own pure mountain water in the build ing now occupied by C. G. West & Co. . Prof. S. F. Tenable now has three dwelling houses in course of erection on Bearden Avenue, a public way recently opened running east from Academy street, and contemplates building five more in the same vicinity. The houses are quite an ornament to that portion of the city they being large, handsome and very conveniently constructed. Prof. V. i3 his own architect and superintend ent and all the dwellings are constructed on different plans. Mr. M. J. Bearden also contemplates erecting a number of bouses on the same street at an early date. Within the last two weeks there have been shipped from Hickory, N. C, toj Chicago and other points, twenty thou sand dollars' worth of dried blackberries. It is estimated that there will be over one hundred thousand dollars' worth of dried fruits marketed at Hickory during the next three month. And how much of this was made or gathered by members of the family who could not do the heavier labor on the farm ? And how much did these sums contribute to the comfort or pleasure of the family and little ones? How many family snpplies did the proceeds of these blackberries purchase ? If so much can be made and saved by other people why cannot our people say e likewise ? Oar people allow more to go ' to waste ever;' year than would pay all of their taxes, ajnd in hundreds 5f ease, jmel-fwrPP'T them with sugar and cofe for whole year. Look after the seemingly small things, frieuds, farmers, as closely as you do the larger one, and you will be surprised to know bow .much useful change you can handle during the year. The Library. By a typographic error which was overlooked in correction of proof, the library was announced as about to be removed to the loom over L.evv'8, it should have been over Law's new room. Tbk Spirit of the Country. Saturday is a day in which the county is largely represented in the city. - Our friends'coine in to trade, to transaet busi ness, and to interchange views and cour tesies with their friends. Yesterday, though the skies were dull and Ihe gen eral aspect gloomy, there was no excep tion. There was a full representation of the intelligence of Buncombe. Of coarse the great railroad measures under present consideration were the natural and promi nent topic of question and discussion.lt is encouraging in the highest degree to say that from all parts of the county comes enthusiastic approval of the proposed aid to the railroads whose construction is invited and encouraged dependent, it is true, upon our action, but ready to move when we speak the word. We are greatly gratified to say this much. It is the voice of a people great in the possession of unlimited resources, wise in their purpose to develop them to their fullest capacity. Payment ok Mexican Pensions. It is a novel sensation to those who have waited long weary years for justice from the goyernment, that therdy re cognition of their services has come to the Mexican veteran, or it Lhs passed away to bis needy widow. Now that the act is done and the pensions granted, it strikes tbe mind as the roost monstrous instance of national ingratitude on record that the services of the men who gave to tbe United States its largest and most; magnificent expansion, Texas, New Mexico and California should have been. so long slighted and so venomously ignored. Most of the men have gone down to the grave; the survivors in their old age welcome at last when almost too late the crumbs that fall to them from the overflowing wealth of the country en riched by their blood. . Some of their crumbs fall here; a few old soldiers and three or four widows are cheered by this longgrudged testimony to a nation's duty.

Morgan died at her residence in this city yesterday evening, leaving a husband and several children to mourn their loss. Mrs. M. had been a great suf ferer for some time, and though death was not unexpected, it is none the less sad. She was a daughter of Col. Samuel B. Gudger of this county. We tender sympathy to our friends. Tote Fair. We copy the following from an ex change, and ask the caieful and prayer ful reading of it : - There are some people who seem to en tirely overlook the fact that it cost any thing to conduct a newspaper in the country. If they subscribe to a lare city daily or weekly, the owners of which in many cases have their coffers full to overflowing with "filthy lucre,"' they do not expect ought less than Vi pay for the same in advance, but when tbiey subscribe for their home paper, that if) working in the interest of their ownjSlate, county and home, n! he PifVs of which are as poorttis the pftj-2Vrcljiireli mouse, and actually need evfy cent that ia justly due them to make Chuckle and tongne'meet,' they expect at 'east twelve months indulgence, and come of them will become offended and order their pa per discontinued if you sen-1 them a polite dun at the expiration of that time. Now this is not treating the poor country editor with justice; he honestly earns his money and actually needs it. Very few persons who've had no experience in such matters have the most remote idea of the cost of a little country weekly; and another fact that should be taken into consideration is, that it requires tbe cash to run a newspaper. Material, a labor and everything pertaining to thee business requires money, and no matter how high in tbe financial scale a sub scriber may stand, his name on the pub lisher's books does not pay the expenses of the paper. , The Wilmington Star of tfie 15th, says: lne iiritisn steamship Jico sian is daily expected, with a cargo of steel 'rails for the Cape Fear and Yadkin Valley Railroad.

The Centennial Ceremenies Continued With Distinguished Brilliancy. I By telegraph to the Asheville Citizen. Our telegrams of the 17tn were filled with the Centennial celebra tion at Philadelphia, but we omit all except the speech of Mr. Cleve land, which will be read with inter est: I deem it a very great honor and pleasure to participate in these im pressive exercises. Every American citizen should, on this centennial day. rejoice in his citizenship. He will not find the cause of his rejoic ing in the antiquity of his country, for among the nations of this earth his is the youngest. He will not find it in the glitter and pomp thabedeck,the mojyth, ana daz zles the abject and servile subjects; for in his country the people them selves are the rulers. He will not find it in the story of bloody foreign conquests, for his . government has been content to care for its own home and people. He should re joice, because the work of framing our constitution was completed just one hundred years ago to day; and! also, because, when completed it established a free government. He should rejoice because this constitu tion and government have survived so long, and also because they have survived with so many blessings and have demonstrated so fully the strength and value of popular rule ; fie should rejoice in the wondrous growth and .. achievements of the past hundred years, and also in the glorious promise of the constitution through centuries to come. We shall fail to be sufficiently thankful for all that was done for us one hundred years ago, unless we real ize the diificulty of work then in hand and the dangers avoided the task of forming more perfect Union between a disjointed and inharmo nious Slates with interests and opinions radically diverse and stubbornly maintained. The people, actors of the conven tion which undertook the labor of preparing our constitution, are ap parent in these earnest words of one of the most illustrious of its members, "The small progress we have made after four oi five weeks of close attention and continued reasoning with each other our dif- ferent sentiments on almost every question, several of the last produc ing as many nays as yeas, is, me thinks, melancholy proof of the im perfection of the human under standing. We indeed, s?em to feel our own wantof political wisdom, since we have been running about io search of it. We hare gone back to ancient history for models of government, and examined the dif ferent forms of these reputations which having , been formed with seeds oi their own dissolution, now no longer exist. In this situation is this assembly groping as it were in the dark to find political truth, and scarce able to distinguish it when presented to us. How has it happened, sir, that we have not heretofore thought of humbly ap plying to the Father of Light to il luminate our understandings?" And this wiseman proposing to his fel lows that the aid and blessing of God should be inyoked on them declared, 'TMytve lived sir, a long time, and the longer. I live, the more, convincing proofs I fee of .. ths truth that God governs in the affairs of men, and if a sparrow cannot fall to the ground without his notice, is it probable that an empire can me without his aid ? We have been assured sir. in sacred writings that except the Lord builds the house they labor in vain that build it. I firmly belieye this, and I also believe thut without concuring aid we shall succeed in tizen O PRICE 5 CENTS this political building no better than the building of Babel. We shall beLdivided by our little party local interest, our project will De confused and we ourselves shall bear reproach, and bear it down to future ages; and wnatis worse, man kind may hereafter from this un fortunate instance despair of estab lishing governments by human wis dom and leave it to cnance, war, and conauest.' In the lace ol all discouragement, the fathers of the ReDttblic labored on for four long weary months in alternative hope and fear, but al wava with merged resolve, never fal tering in sturdy endeavor, sanctified by a prophetic sense oi tne vaiue tn nosteritv of their saccess and al- wavn with unflinching faith in, the principles which make the founda their task was done. It is singular that upon the back of the chair of occupied by Washington as Presi dent o! tne convention, a sun was painted, and that as the delegates were signing the cooopleted consti tution, one of them said : "I have often, and often,!in the course of the session and in the solitude of my hopes and fears as to its issue, look ed at that behind the President, without being able to tell whether it was rising or setting; but now at length I know that it is the rising and not tne setting bun." We stand today on the spot where the rising sun emerged from political night and darkness; and in its own bright meridian light we mark it glorious way. Clouds have sometimes obscured its rays and dreadful storms have made us fear, but God has held it in its course and through its life-giving warmth has performed his latest miracle in the creation of this wondrous land and people. As we look down the past century to the origin of our consti tution, as we contemplate its trials and its triumphs, as we realize how completely the principles upon which it is based have met every national peril ani every national need, how truly "God governs in the affairs of men." And how solemn should be the reflection that to our hands is com mitted this ark of the people's, cov enant and that ours is the duty to shield it from unpious bands. We receive . it sealed, with the tests of a century. It has been found suffi cient in the past; in aU future years it will be found sufficient, if the American people are true to their day wf i ions, yet un- born w-vorl ; ce; stewardship end safety of their con stitution. God grant that they may find it unimpaired, and as we re joice in the patriotism and devotion of those who lived a hundred years ago, so may others who follow us rejoice in our fidelity and in our jealous love for constitutional lib erty. :o: Market Reports.
