We are glad to hear from him that vear bv vear his business is increasing and he is cre ating where he sjends his winters a strong and growing taste for moun tain delicacies. A Valuable Cow Killed. A verv fine cow. belonirinir to Mr. C. W. DeYault. on Beaumont, ac-dfr.t.-il'y killed herse'.f yesterday. She was tied to a tree with a rope, and becoming scared at something, ran off at full speed to the length of the rope. The recoil was so great that her neck snapped as if it had been a pipe stem. The animal was a very valuable one, and Mr. De Vault would not have taken a con siderable sum for her. Mutiny the Chain Gans'. Yesterday a color. -d man by the n-tiiit; of Lane was put on the street force by Mayor Harkins in dehailt of payment of a fine. He was ob streperous, and shackles were put on his ankles wtth a ball and chain attached. He refused to work and b3gan beating the shackles with a rock. Finally after he had snapped one of the shackles an officer was sent for who handcuffed Lane and took him to the station house. Al ter hearing the testimony the may or fined Lane $12.25, in default of which he was locked up. The Itev. Mr. Pearson. Speaking about the large audi ences which have attended, the ser vices ot this gentleman during his ministrations in Wilmington, the Star says: "The Tabernacle seels about 2,500 with chairs in the aisle. Some of our exchanges abroad made it seat 4,503. The calculation of those who had charge was, as we were told, about 2,300, without chairs. Some times there were no doubt 4,000 or more, in and around the building. Mr. Pearson could have preached in a building seating 5,000 it viculd have been full every time, we have no doubt. He is not able to fill a ball that seats more that 2,000. It strains him too much. A tabernacle constructed like Spurgeon's, with galleries, and with the preacher's stand one-third from one end, would enable him to preach to 4,000 with comparative easo." Mr. Pearson is soon to be here, and it is expected that his audi ences will be very large. The pop ulation of Asheville is less than that of Wilmington, but the propor tion of which is far greater in the former than in the latter. It is irom the whites chiefly that Mr. Pearson's audiences moist he looked for ; and we publish the above that the gentlemen having the arrange ments for religious services iu charge, may make ample prepara tions.

World' Dispensary Medical Association, 6G3 Main Street. Buffalo, N. Y. dlt Advice to Thousands. Men without number are at tins very hour straining their brain by close ap plication to business, regardless of the most important member of the human body, the eye. Thousands of women are overworking and straining the eyes hourly and daily, not thinking when the eyes give out and cease to guide the hand, their abiliiy for usefullness and enjoyment of life is done. Clerks, stu dents and laborers from close confine ment, and long hours' strain upon the eyes are rapidly impairing the same. There is no one after passing the age of thirty, that cannot find relief and protection for the eyes when at work, by using a properly adjusted lense, and hold the eye for years to its youthful vigor. We cordially invite all to call upon us at our rooms, and examine our stock of goods and scientific instruments for ad justing lenses for every condition of the eyes, cross eyes, nearsighted, far sighted and all other defects.

Visiting Ihe Asheville Female Cd'egc a lew days ago we dropped iiiio tin! ru.im of the above named atchiiect, and had an tportunity' of seeing the drawings prepared by him for a Female College for the Methodist denomination to be erected in some town in Arkansas. Tim design is that adopted in the construction of xhe college buildi r here with such charges and modifi cations as were suggested by expe rience, or difference in locality. It is a matter of pride that the fine building here should have been after full comparison with oth er designs offered, adopted unani mously and enthusiastically as the model of an institution for similar purposes in a far distant State. In fact the Asheville Female College in architectural proj)ortions and im posing effe :t, in convenience and harmony of internal arrangements; in admirable adaptation to its sjie cial uses, is the triumph of an ar chitect skilled in his profession and combining into sound judgment all the elegancies of good taste. The college stands an enduring monument of professional attain ment, and its presence will always enure to trie hoor ol Mr. Melton. We are not surprised at the recog nition of his ability which now has flattering demand made ujion it. He is now engaged in work upon alterations in the interior of the Methodist church of Asheville, and his decorative designs have been adopted in the face of some sharp but creditable professional compet itors. He has also in charge the construction of several fine private dwellings here, and also at Waynes ville, among the former of which is the new home of Mr. M. E. Carter on French Broad Avenue, and that of Mr. Beojamin Atkins at the corner of Wood fin and Locust street?. 'Mi't in the Bud !"

Mr. Brown, of Georgia, presented a large petition" from citizens of bis State protesting against legislation to nrand or tax refined lard, and staling their belief that cotton seed oil and beef fat were as wholesome and valuable foods as leaf lard from S'yine. Mr. Eyarl?, from the committee on foreign relations, rej-orted back, adversely. Riddleberger's resolution to suspend the rules as to executive sessions during tlx: consideration of the fisheries treaty. The report was placed on the calendar and or- dereel printed. Among the bills introduced and referred was one by Mr. Morrill authorizing the purchase of a site for a building for. the supreme court f the United States. Mr. Sherman discussed the bill for the admission of S.jiiili Dakota. It had alwavs struck him, he said. that "opposition to Dakota as a State was totally unjustifiable and, latterly, factious .-o much so as to be suiject to the severe criticism of everybody who liked to see t ur may on the great questions affectm.t large masses of the profile. Why. be asked, should Dakota be excluded as a si.-Ue? He liadllsfened to most of the debate and had n d heard a single reason given for s'jc'i excbi. 'eui.
