Though attention is seldom drawn i to the f3ct, it cannot be denied that there are some farmers around Chapel nill.of whom any county in the Statje might well be proud. There are some who are notably at tentive, persevering, intelligent and progressive, lney are an nonor 10 ihat graod old calling that holds the f tleatiny of all other occupations and the people that foliow them." They are as modest as they are faithful. They arc good citizens in every sense. They are, as a rule, gener ous and 'public-spirited. They dif fuse their wide-awake notions among their neighbors. The consequence is that, though slowly yet surely, they are5 improving .the general in- ' terests of the whole community. As we travel out a few miles among the sturdy yeomen that live towards Haw River we lind an extensive re- , gion that tells of more than one generation of thrifty heroes of the plough. It gives new charm to the coming railroad when we consider what a convenience it will furnish to these excellent citizens and what an impulse it will give to their im portant labors. Let them plant and sow and plough with new spirit aud hope7a8ithey remember the assur ance tbat even the pending crop! may be carried from the depot of Chapel Hill to the markets they may prefer. This year should , witness the largest crops ever raised in this section. . There is one comproraiso upon th'e fidelity ofi bur neighbor- . farmers : they do not furnish the market of Chapel Hill with a suffi ciency of many field-products .'to meet the wants of our people. Our soil is so well adapted 4to the. arti . cles generally raised on a truck farm that , this deficiency is inexcusable. The population i rapidly increasing. The demand for this year may.be greater than ever before. Farmers, be ready ! v At TI1E recent meeting of the Trustees, a Special Committee of five-was raised "to visit the Univer eity and there to examine into Its organization," tc. The following gentlemen were named: A. M., Lewis, Taleigh, Chairman ; C. H. "Wiley, Winston; James A. Gra ham, Graham ; A. II. Merritt, Pitts boro; JuUau S. Carr, Duiham. These gentlemen 'are expected to visit the University at an early, day. "Milton Chronicle : We have a com positor employed in this office who wears the same hat he wore in the Confederate war. He and his hat were both -wounded in the war, and being disabled from Jield service he was juut to printing Confederate money. He served m Captain (now Judge) Dillard's - company,' from Rockingham county. Elizabeth City Telegram : Three of them were killing a' cat. One held a lantern, another held the cat, and the third jammed a pistol into the cat's ear and fired, shooting the man in the haud who held the cat, and the oiie with the lantern was wounded in the arm. The cat left when he saw how ! matters stood and that ill feel ing was being engendered. lredell Gazette: Last Saturday, Mr. Jas. H. Card well, supervisor of the census in this district, received eighty-one applications for appoint ments as enumerators. His district comprises twenty-five counties, and the average number of enumerators j will be at least twelve to the county. It is pafe therefore to say that he. will receive-a thousand applications for appointment to that office. 'Diirham Recorder: On. Friday night, Thomas Turner,' eldest son of the late Sheriff John Turner, dec d, who lives about 3 miles East of Hills bbroj went to the hoase.of a young woman named .N ichols with whom he had been living in a state of con cubinage : and charging her with in fidelity to him, discharged the con tents of a 'gun. loaded with squirrel shot into her right side, the load penetrating the lungs and liver, a few fchot;also entering the arm "of an in fant ; sho was holding:. Turner at once procured the aid of a physician who; was in the . vicinity, and then made his escape. The woman was still ialive on Sunday evening,; and raayj possibly survive the wound Tqrboro ' Southerner : We"ire in formed by Air. Charles C. Vines, Esqi, who'livesat Centre Bluff, Pitt cbuiity, that just before Christmas a rabid dog bit a colored man named Sam Newton, who was employed about the store in which he clerks. Sam was bitten in the band. The wound healed and no trouble was experienced until last Sunday week, when a severe pain was felt in the arm! The pain continued to in crease, and move up the arm until it reached the body auT got into his throat. Mr. Vines says thenerol grew furious, his eyes had the look of an infuriated tlemon, saiiva frothed at his mouth, and he seemed in the greatest pain, He was finally sent to Greenville for safekeeping, where he is still alive, we learn, though it isj impossible for him to recover. For the Ledger., We learn from 'a .letter received from Wake Forest. College that the "WiiHiale Memorial Building" is ex-pc-clid to be completed by next Commencement. The central por tion ol Science Hall is occupied by the College Library, which contains -about S.QOO volumes. In connec tion with tula a first-class Heading Iioom has been established. We cheerfully donate a copy of the TEini:u to the Heading Koom.

Our! friend, the Durham Recorder y commenting on the letter of a 4,Sub scribe i jV published in the last two ibsues of the Lkdoek, has this to say : "But "we cannot agree with "Sub bci iberJ, that tfie road is to prove a . iailurej It comes at at most oppor tune tune to give the distinction of prominence due to Chapel Hill, and also tj gratify the well considered hope .oi' ''Many Citizens' " Dr.Edward Lindsay, of Greens boro, J was in town Thursday. He brought the proceeds of a post mor tem animation to Prol. Redd for 3nalyftig. Jane Holland Watson was born April 23d, 1811, and died in the early morning of February. 14th, 180. She was a native of the city of New Berne, IS. CM where her early years were spent. Her maiden name was Mitchell. She- embraced theiSavior by faith in her youth, and; for more than 'half .a century pursued a consistent christian walk. In every relation ot life as wife, mother, daughter, sisrer, friend, she was faithful and true. Her care and industry ever kept a well-arranged house. With her the poor always found a sympathizing heart, and a liberal hand. The needy were never turned away suffering from' her door. Seldom are the graces that adorn her; sex more conspicuously display ed .than in her character. To say that she had no faults would be to sayjshe was not human; to say she was a type of noble womanhood is simply true. As a christian 'she leaves a bright and shining track. Amid the most heart crushing be reavements, in days when some of her: dearest earthly hopes and treas ures took wings her loved ones buried, some at home aud some abroad her faith in God remained uiishaken. There was no sourness no complaint, but she ever trusted him with calm and filial love, and Vissed the rod that smote so heavily. And uow her soul hath returned unto its rest. In the days ot ray own early life, I derived comfort from her motherly advice and chris tian conversation, and took courage. "We-have taken sweet counsel to gether, and walked, unto tbe house of the Lord in company.1' ha will be Imissed in the home circle. She will be missed in this community. She will be missed from the seat she! o long occupied in the holy sanctuary.' But the Father has taken her up higher, and she awaits 'us 'only a liule while on the other shore. f . Her death was too sudden to even allow her to nay farewell, but the question is not how one dies, but how did they live. Her holy, life giyes the confident and happy assur ance that her soul is at rest at rest in the circle of loved ones who pre ceded her at reht in the bosom of our Father and our God. Her gentle Voice still seems whispering in our ears, and her kindly hand seems beckoning us all away from earth .to come up higher, to hurry home. When our summons comes may we, one and all, like her, be found '.ready. P. For the Ledger. Chapel Hill, N. C, ) ; ' . Feb. 18, 1880. f Mr. Editor : Your; correspondent "Subscriber" unintentionally : does me injustice. I have .never taken any decided stand against Durham. On the contrary I worked for that line. I canvassed Chapel Hill for it. I canvassed Durham for it. Your readers know all this. It was only after it was found impossible to raise suflfcient funds to build the longer line, that J agreed to accept the -shorter. I I doubt if ten thousand dollars was ovop nKsniprl from Durham. It was officially reported to me that $5,000 only could be expected. What is this amount for three or four miles ot railroad ? It is only a small part of the cost. If an offer was ever rnade by any party to grade three miles or any uortion of ?the road, it was not offi cially communicated.! The buildinsr of the road must commence at the N. I C. R. R. and work towards our tpwn, the track being laid as the grading progresses. This is cheapest by far, aud the best policy. ; Why should "Subscriber1' be- pre dicting failure? Our chief object is to connect with the great world. Whether we do so via-Durham or University Station or Hillsboro, is, of course, a minor consideration. It is perfectly clear that, if our railroad is to fail on one line, . it will fail on another. The bulk pf the passen gers and freights to and from Chapel Hill will not be to aud from either point.' They will be to and from points far beyond either. CHapel Hill has subscribed 84,500. With that small amount "Sub scriber" aud others are grumbling because they xa n't have a twelve mile connection with the railroad system of the United States, instead of a nine mile connection. It is very fortunatej that the Iron Mine Company comes in to assist our efforts. Without their aid we would be in a state of seclusion for the next fifty years. The question, Mr. Editor, was re duced to this: Shall we have the University Station Jine or none? Being reduced to this choice, I de cided for the railroad. The whole matter was carefully talked over and settled. It is just as easy to predict success as failure. "Subscriber" has a fit ot the blues. ! Tarboro with 16 miles of branch road, Winston with 32 miles, Milton with:?10 miles, all nave daily trams and 'are1 greatly pleas'ecbwith their railroad facilities. I oppose my prediction to that of '-'Subscriber' that Chapel Hiilv.-ill proopor--the University will prosper the coun try around, us will" prosper under the vast advantages of easv commu nication with the rest of the country, secured by the University railway.

We also favor the idea of running the Station in connection with he instruction in chemistry at the Uni; versitv. : making Prof, Redd the chemist in charge, and the students of chemistry his assistants. By such an arrangement the Station will be a source of greater benefat to' the people than it has ever been before. Let the students under immediate su pervision of Prof. Redd do the work of the Station, and let the colt, as is now the case, be paid by the.

''You have but five minutes to live," said the sheriff. "If you have anything to say, speak now." . The young man burst into tears and said : "I have to die. I had a little brother. He had beafitiful black eyes and flax en hair; and I loved him. But one day I got drunk, for the first time in my life, and coming home I found my little brother getting berries in the garden, and I became angry without a cause, and killed 'him with one blow of a rake. I did not know anything1 about it until the next day, when I awoke and found myself bound and; guarded, and was told that my little brother was "foundi hia hair clotted with blood and brains, and he was dead. .Whiskey has done it. It has ruined me. I never was drunk but oncer I have only one more word to say, then I am going to thy Judge. I say icji young persons,niver ! never neveii ! touch anything that can intoxicate!"

THE EXPERIMENT STATION. Chapel Hill, N. O, . February 9, 1880. ' Messrs. Editors : The surfestion made by the Golsboro Mail that Prof. Redd, of the University, be appointed to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of Dr. Ledpnx as superintendent of the Experiment Station, is. undoubtedly a good one. Prof Rrdd possesses qualifications which peeuliary fit him for this posi tion, probably, not possessed by any other man in the State or elsewhere. His reputation as a chemist is not bound by the narrow limits of North Carolina, and his energy and determination as evinced in bis pre vious enterprises is sufficient to se cure for the Station a sure success, and as such, a means of extending its Board per day $2.
