Rev. Samuel Baldwm,'an aed
minister of the Baptist Church, died
iu Chatham C viT.jy, Nov. 17th. He
was a preach tr lor Mveral years, a
most pious and excellent man.
f Mr. Archibald ' Leach. Bingham
cadet, was on a visit to his brother,
J. M. Leach; Jr., at the University,
Saturday and Sunday. He reports
Bingham School flourishing, and our
friend Capt. Noble, very popular
among the boys. ; .
The . IZecorder says that the
fierce Northwester; which suddenly
' burst upon them on Thursday "of
last week, toppled over the smoke
stack of Black well j & Co's factory,
delaying, work for! the two subse
quent days. It is all O. K. again. .
We regret to learn of the seri
ous illness of our friend, Mr. Brady,
front typhoid. fevdr. His mother ar
rived on Wednesday last, and he is
now receiving every attention a
mother's care and; the services of
two excellent physicians .(Drs. Rob
erson & Harris) can bestow.
-We learn from; a very reliable
source (and what source is not relia
ble ?) that not very far from Chapel
Hiil there b a baby, only " eight
months --bid weighing 40 pounds.
According to a very accurate math
ematical calculation of the rapidity
with which booms increase, we
judge that at present, this one has
sbout doubled. - - '
A gpod deed and one worthy
of emulation has recently been
called tor "oar attention. A gentle
man welf known' in Chapel-Hill has
recently furnished to a poor young
wan in this county, the son of &
Confederate soldier wKo died at
Gordonsville during the war the
nce88ary funds for an education and
the- young man is now at Trinity
--The jDiirham Recorder says
that the family mansion of Maj. W.
N. Patterson, near New Hope Creek
fn this county,., was destroyed bv
fire oh Friday last owingio a defect
in the chimney. The fire seemed to
have rbeen slumbering under t he
wn iui a luug nmc, anu wnen uis
covered had possession of the whole
interior of the roof, and was beyond
control. Nothing was saved except
some bedding. It was owned at
the time of its destruction by two
brothers Carroll.
Thr Right Rev. -Bishop W.
M. Greene, of Mississippi, visited
our village this week and preached
a sermon Thanksgiving Day iu the
Chapel of the Cross.
All of our old and middle-aged
citizens, who' remember Bishop
Greene when he lived here, testify
to hia general popularity, and his re
cent . visit will be cherished by bis
many friends as one of the most in
teresting and tender reminiscencies
of their lives. It was by his efforts
that the Chapel of the Cross was
built, and it is one of the many land
marks of hia goodness" and gener
osity. i Bishop Greene is a native of New
Hanover County. He graduated at
the University of North Carolina
together witlr Pieideuti Polk, John
Y.Mason, Dr. Morrison and other
distinguished men. Dr. Morrison
is one of the few survivors, and
Bishop Greene hopes to be able to
vijt him before leaving the State.
B shop Greene was pastor of the
church at Hillsboro for jmany yea's,
and all through the county may bo
seen evidences of his religious zeal
and piety. He was afterwards
elected Professor ol Rhetoric at the
University, and while performing
his duties in this position, was
chosen Bishop of Mississippi about
the! year 1850. He i still holds the
latter position, and is also Ghancel
loriof the University of the South.
He is onp of the oldest, ablest, and
most respect ed Episcopal Bishops
in the Lfnited States, and consider
ing the tact that he has experienced
three or four almost miraculous pre
servations fronr death and is now
recuperating in health, it - is to be
hoped; that many more years may be
added! to hi eminently useful life.
I We haye never seen a face so be
nevolent, calnrand pleasing in its
I'xpri-Jrslon. His style of. preaching
is ! simple ' and every word is im
pressed with the authority which is
i.sually accorded to' age, piety, arid
learning. In conversing with the
tM .inhabitants ot our village we
r.nd among them all a .single opin
cone r.-iing him, viz., that he was
:en:-;i!Iy bekuod and that they
tit ci Us:w a more pious, unselfish,
a.:d, liberal hearted man. May he
be .-rpait-d Iig and be enabled to
visa r.;a;n the ficer.es of his earlier

Hit would be worth a hundred
thousand votes for the Democratic
party could each Northern State
have a dozen representatives to
walk our streets and visit the col
ored 'people's fair, to see the battal

the Governor,, a Democrat and ex-(
Confederate, riding in a four-horse
barouche to open the proceedings,
to see the street corners crowded
with noisy and welliressed negroes,
with glossy stove-pipe bats and big
gold watches, to see the creditable
display of farm, field, and shop pror
ducts, to see the swarms of excur:
sionists from all parts of the State
in short, to see what the Radical
sheets style "the poor, down-trodden,
robbed, aud intimidated negro",
as we see. him, here in our midst.

; Seymour seems'just now to re
the coming roan for the presidency
among the Democracy. "' Grant from
present indications will unquestion
ably be the Republican candidate.
Seymour is beyond doubt one of
the purest men in the wholer coun
try. A statesman of broad views
and '-unswerving 'integrity a man
whose private life is a model and
whose public career is unimpeacha
ble, he would command the respect
of his opponents and' arouse the en
thusiasm of his friends.
Speaking of President Bat
tle's speech before the Randolph
County Fair i the Asheboro Courier
says i "His speech was just such a
one as our people wanted to hear
an3 could appreciate. Thoroughly
pra3tical full of thought, replete
with hard, common sense, strength
ened by illustrations pointed and
forcible, solidified by arguments in
telligible and irresistible, arid enli
vened by dashes of humor: that re
lieved and held his audience in a
most pleasing irfood. It was a bet
ter success than the Fair and won
for tho beloved Battle many new
friends rn this county." " j
A WORD TO YOUNG MEN.1
Young man, come - out into the
hot summer sun and show that you
are both able and willing to do a
whole raanVfull day's work in what
you must see is most needed to be
done. It won't do for you to stand
back, saying, "I am willing to work,
but can't get anything to do." This
excuse is on a par with that pitiful
plea put up by those idling loungers,
Who, when asked, .''Why stand ye
all the day idle ?". sought, to excuse
themselves by saying. "Because no
man hath hired us." They were
told to go into the vineyard and
work, and not wait for the vineyard
or work to come to ihem. Need it
be urged that this is just as applica
ble to you now, as it was to them.
Go to work, f hire or no hire, and
very soon, if you show that you are
willing and capable, you will find
plenty ot bidders for just such
workers as you ought to make your
selves. You ought to be ashamed
to hold back and wait -for your
father to do the brunt of the farm
work, and especially should you
pitch iu where you see no one else
to do the work but yourself. Be
come familiar with all kinds of farm
work, the best mode of doing it, aud
vou will soon acquire skill and
knowledge that should make you
successful. Study and reap your
business, and then you will be sure
to fall in love with what was hith
erto uninteresting and tiresome bus
iness. Remember that it is he who
takes hold and works day by day
that places himself a peer beside the
nobles of the land ! lit is - he who
takes step by step, climbing gradu
ally, till he reaches the point ; while
he who likes his ease and dreads ac
tion lies asleep at the foot. The
Sunbeam.
A WOMAN KILLS HER FIVE
CHILDREN.
James Adams and his wife lived
near Lancaster village in South Carolina-
Near them lived a neighbor
named Crenshaw. On the night of
the. 8th of this month the Cren
shaws were aroused by Mrs. Adams
who asked for an axe, but insisted
that no light be brought. Going
out, Mr. Crenshaw discovered that
the'clotbing had been burned from
her body and that she was suffering
intensely. He. asked her where her
baby was, and she said "in heaven,"
ancl proposed to answer questions
on condition that! she. should be
knocked in the head. The first im
pression was that, the house of the
Adamses had been burned, and Mr.
Crenshaw went there but found no
fire, only on the.hearth'. Then Mrs.
Adams was wrapped in a sheet and
taken back to her home, where she
soon , after . died: Several of I the
neighbors had gathered in, and go
ing into a shed room they behead all
five of the wrenched woman's chil
dren neatly tuckfed in bed with their
throats all cut and they all dead.
The oldest was eleven years old and
the youngest two and a half. That
the mother in a fit of insanity had
killed her five children and then at-
tempted to destroy herself by burn
ixxrr thprfi seems to be no doubt.
The cause that led to her terrible
insanity is merely conjectured.
Llamance Gleaner,
It is estimated that the South
alone has raised this year 600,000,
000 pounds of tobacco, which is
about 12,000,000 more than she ever
raised, before.
