! Mrs. Til ley, well-known to every
one who has visited Chapel Hill, met
with a serious accident dirThursday
afternoon last. - She was on a visit

her, feet to slip, and she rolled the

whole length of the . stairways Dr.
Harris' was called in, who had the
patient taken into the house, where
she is kindly cared for. The Doctor
reports that sh? has received no fa
tal injury. We hope to announce
her recovery.
U
How to DiscouiiAGis A Minis
TElt. Go to church . only occasion
ally, and when you go, go late ; take
no part in singing, but keep up
whispering. Find all the fault you
can ; point out his deficiencies be
fore your children and others. Don't
aid his work, but despise his lack of
good sense. Tell tales to him about
the people and their criticisms of
him. Tell him how much his prede
cessors were thought of. Keep
away from week-day meetings. Get
up gayeties, 'particularly some enter
tainment near the communion sea
son. t? Require him to be present
everywhere. Keep back his salary.
Keep talking about general dissatis
faction. Patient continuance in these
practices will surely' drive away
both the spirit and the minister of
God.
Vick's ; Flo kal Guide., This
work, is before us, ' and those who
send five cents to James Vick, Ro
chester, N. Y., for it, will be disap
pointed. Instead of getting a chenp
tiling, as the price would seem to
indicate, they will receive j a very
handsome work of 100 paes, and
perhaps 500 illustrations not cheap,
but elegant illustrations, on the very
best calendered paper, and as a set
off to the whole, an elegant Colored
Plate, that we would judge cost
twice the price of the book.
...New Store. We take pleasure
in referring to the advertisement ol
Mr. A. S.- Barbee, to be found in
another column. Mr. Barbee has
had much experience in business and
knows how to select goods. He is
acquainted with the wants and needs
of our citieens, and has : selected
goods to please them, and at prices
to suit the hard times. Remember
his place of business is one door be
low the drug store of S. M. Barbee.

Every person living in Chapel-Hill

doing all we can to build up Chapel
Hill. The merchant, wfio fails to
advertise, and the citizen who will
not eupport his home paper, can ex
pect nothing but hard times.
Nkw Church. We notice tho
completion of the colored Methodist
church, on Merritt street. The first

day. " We learn that it will be dedi

' Monroe Fxpresa: We learn that
a little boy, fivo j years of age,
n son of Minerva Knowles, who
lives in Croosa Creek township, was
burned to ! death oh ' Monday the
6th iust. The mothehad left her
two smdl ! children f alone in ' be
house while she went to visit a neigh
bor, and it being excessively cold
it is supposed that the little fellow
ventured too near the fire, when hisi
clothes caught. I-This f is the .third
case of this kind happening in .our
county that we have reported in"
these columns. in the last few weeks.
Raleigh News : The letters de
posited in th street letter boxes are
.collected twice a day. . The carrier
leaves the post office at i), a. m. and
returns at 7,again at 12, m. return-;
iug at 2j pj m. The boxes are a
great convenience and we are glad
to learn that .Gov; Holden has ap
plied for six more. They are not
used to them yet, and the idea of
somg as to their use are very crude.
The reporter heard one party grave
ly assert that the boxes were put up
by the Young Men's Christian Asso
ciation, forj.the reception of nickels
and other contributions for the pqor.
Another person said with-as much
gravity that' they -were intended to
receive petitions to. the Legislature.
After awhile the good people will
know what! they arej'or and will put
letters in i
hem instead of walking
half a mil
to deposit them in the
post office.
At presents two collec
tions are made daily from the boxes
one at o, a. m., Hie otuer at noon.
The boxes are a public convenie!lce,
and. should be used, but many of
those who niau letters never even
know theirj use, and would b.e afraid
to put in a letter if they did,
Wilmington Srhr: The bark , Oli
ver KmervJ which arrived at New
York a few days ago, had. on board
the captain aud five sailors who had
been rescued from the, schooner
Maggie Vahdusen, from this port
Capt. Thomas, of the schooner, sajs
he never experienced such terrible
weather. From the time he . left
Smith ville, on the 3rd of January,
there was scarcely a cessation in the
fury of the gale, j Sea after sea broke
over the schoon'pr,5 and swept the
decks clear, the boat' being carried
away, wa'ter casks burst and rudder
cjround to pieces;; ilor six days the
crew labored at the pumps,' the water
gaining upon them all the time. 1 fe
destruction 1 of the casks left them
without water fit to drink,.and their
sufferings were ' intense. Two out
of the live, seamen were - so terribly
frost:bittenthat they sank dovvnj al
most insensible, at the pumps. To
complete their trouble, Capt. Thorn J
as, who was almost constantly at the
wheel, "vva3 struck by one of the seas
that washed over the vessel, and in .
jured in the head and side. On the
sixth' day the sore distressed people
began ;.to j give up horje, when the
welcome sight of the Oliver.? Emery
aroused them, and the much needed
assistance was 'rendered. ' :
Tho Senate Finance Committee
has agreed to report a bill reducing
the taxr on jtobacco to 20 cents per
pound. We hope that some final
action will soon be taken.
The decision in the case of H. A.
Davis and! others, from this county,
has not yetl been filed. '
