Prof. Steen wno has arrived, step ped into our editorial rooms last night. He astounded the reporter by a few tests of mind reading. The reporter was requested to place several number cn a piece of paper, while Mr. Steen left the room. He then said "reverse them." Mr. Steen asked no question, but came in out of the room and gave the full result of the sum. Then he told the Fcribe to place three num bers down on a piece of paper. Steen with his back turned towards him, told him the one on the risht. then the ore on the left and the center one. The best test that was given, was the one when Mr. Steen told him to put down one number again and then told him to multiply it by any num ber that the scribe mielit think of. Mr. Steen, without peeing any of the numbers told him what the multiplier was and gave the re sult. Will anyone of our leaders step in our office and explain that ? We can not. Ve havemven it up. They are marvelous and everyone should Fee them.

The latest catalogue of Bingham school is received. We note that the 219 pupils in attendance repie sent 14 States cf the Union, while two are sons of army officers, and two are from England. A circular giving the impression made by the school on Lieut. Batchelor and Capt. Wygant, both detailed from U. S. Army as Tactical Officers, is well worth the attention of parents. We note that the Superintendent has abandoned attending the State Fair even, ns being more hurtful than helpful. Artillery Drill is added to the Military Instruction, a feature possessed by no other pre paratory school in the South. We are glad to see a North Carolina en terprise so progreesive and so suc cessful, bee advertisement. . We had the pleasure of a visit yesterday from Mr. E.

For some time past frequenters at the Alligator Saloon, on North Main street, have been accustomed to see and play with a couple of bear cubs, in which the proprietor, Mr. Edel, at the time aforesaid, took consider" able stock. But the stock has depreciated, and Sunday went off. the market at prices greatly below par that is, the saloon stock of fine liquors, cut glassware, etc., etc. EdePb faith in a bear cub's moral and protective character has also diuiinished wonderfully, and the cause thereof is about as fol lows : Sunday morning about half-past eleven o'clock the bears escaped from their cage, and sauntering around the room, their eyes and at- j tention was attracted to a- ten gallon keg of French brandy, which they ; at once proceeded to "sample " The "sample" was all that a bear could wish, and before twelve o'clock they were as drunk as "lords.' And then the circus begun, t Climbing up en the counter, the bears commenced throwing bottleB filled with fine liquors at each other, and then falling to the floor, a whole raft of decanters and glassware would come crashing after them, caused by the terrific jar of the now thoroughly intoxicated and 'pros trate bruin. The performance was kept up until About $250 worth of liquors, glassware, cigars and to bacco had been entirely rained; and at this juncture Mr. Edel arrived. "Mine Gott in Himmel exclaimed the excited proprietor as he caught a glimpse of the wreefcr uDem tarn bears has shust dis - pisness ijp proke." He unlocked the door.and calling in police officer Hampton to arrest the bears, said, "dem. tam bears of dis blace haf some big hell blayed. I ish going out of dis peesness once at, and dem bears-r-dey kilt shall be pefore the1 western sun rise." Hampton and the pro prietor finally got the bars in the Cage, which had been left unlocked the night before. through negligence on the part of the keeper, and as the proctssion formed to march out of the saloon Edei remarked with great earnestness, "if it was Sunday not dem tarn .: bears - some golden steps would pe climbing up. .

Four Tons of Timothy Hay to the Acre. The Citizen likes to brag on this country. It specially likes to speak of young farmers. We have an op portunity to do so now. Our ycung friend Norman McLoud, son of our townsman Capt. C. M. McLoud, is a joung farmer of whom our section ought to' be proud. He cultivates a small tract of land, in this city, but cultivates it for all it is worth Col. John Ilice, . one of, our successful farmers, takes the greatest delight in assisting ; our . . young farmer friend. 'Between the two we have a splendid result to give. Norman had a one-third, acre lot which he put inlTmohydn the 20th of Sep tembef71836 He sowed " the grass seecf'aldnr, w'ith6ut "wheat, oats or rye, or manure. The winter fol lowing he spread upon it stable manue Jproauaed on the place. The yield was very excellent. The paet j, winter. he gave it : another covering of stable manure as before. The grass "has been cut the past week by Col. Rice, and he tells us he got twenty-one very large shocks which which will weigh, after being fully dried, at least 2700 pounds. This shows a result of over our tons to tht acre. Can this be beaten in any other section ? This shows that oar yo'ilng" friend and Col. Rice are very excellent farmers, and wecom mend, their experiment to our other farmer. riendB.

Steen, the London medium, whose physical materializations at one time threat ened to create a revolution in . the world's metropolis. This medium will be at the Opera House on the 4th and 5th insts., and will give some of the wonderful and startling manifes tations that originally puzzled the London world, and later created ex citement in New York, Philadelphia, Boston, Chicago, San Francisco, Portland, Oregon, many other cities in this country. It is said : "For three weeks she was under the closest supervision and examination of the leading scientist of England, and in all that time the secret of her pecu liar power if other than normal re mained undiscovered as far as they knew. Prof. Brooks of Royal .. Socis ety, at the end of - the investigation gave Mrs. Steen; a teslimonialto the effect that no fraud, or trickery could be detected in her materialization.

The owner of the Pulliam street establishment informs U3 he has made careful investigation into the complaints made, and has been as surcd in the first place, that not a woman resides upon or stays on the premises; that difficulties which are complaint d'uf,-rto ooourrioff tUsra, do not occur on the premises, and those which occur outside of the premises the lessee cannot control. The lessee of the house asserts that it is true disturbances have occurred in that locality, but outside bis premises, and over these he can do nothing; it devolves on the police to arrest and the authorities to pun ish all such. He says further when ever any one comes on his premises and create0, or attempts to create, any disturbance, he promptly puts them off. He assures the owner of the property that these are the facts, and also that sa far as iie'oau exer cisa, control . nothing.' jha'd'i. occur there which will distucb any" body. All of which leads to the remarklhat disgraceful 'disturbances 'hv fre quently occurred in that localiy,ns testified to" by good .citizens.' It seems these have occurred 6n.the streets surrounding the place, and not ou the premhesi over , which only the police have jurisdiction, It is incumbent on the lessee to si ve his own skirls, to aid' the police. in bringing to justice ' every one who sees fit to go neur bis, premises arid create a disturbance.': If he fails'- or refuses to do this he. jnay :;be. justly! complained ot -as - harboring ., such characters'.
