The Asheville Mountain Homo Journal reports that a most dis graceful and daring occurrence took place at Burnsvillo, Yan cey . county, last weekv and says the facts are these: Oue of tho bestc;tizena of that coun- very auuueniy, nuu was ouuig buried.

This so enraged tho son of Mr. Ray that he shot at his father sever al times, whereupjn Judge By nuin ordered the arrest. of young Kayv. lie defied tho sheriff, but walked into the court house and with his double-barrelled gun drove the judge from the bench, cleared out tho assembl v and deliberately walked off. Can all this possibly be true in law abiding North Carolina? M-ui KUcm ?Ian. Rather a rmarkab!o scene was enacted at tho .passenger depot this morning, in fact that a man kissed a man. As the north bound train arrived, an oi l gentleman landed on the platfc-n a"d hurriedly glanced around him, as if seeking some one. Soon he espied a fine loot ing young man, and walking briskly to his side grasped him by the hand, at tha same time fivisg him a number of kissi-s. hey embraced each other and promenaded around the plat form for a few minutes in a friendly and affectionate man ner. They were perhaps father and son who had met afu-r a long absence. This custom is a long established one among the ladies, but it makes us tremble what migbt be m the future should man take it up.

At its recent annual meeting the State Agricultural Society ! of Georgia, in formal resolution unanimously adopted, recom mended and urged upon every fa tne of that State the setting aside of from five te ten acres of land around the homestead, said acreage to be known as "The Wife" Farm," to be d voted exclusively to the culture, on the extensive plan, of grain, grasses, vegetables, poultry, pigs, etc., and that an hour or two each morning shall bo de voted by the farmer and his force tocultivating this "farm." The idea of the society was to make each farmer self-sustain ing and independent. A Sib-It Attempt at Forgvrr. Several days ago a leading merchant of Nashville, (Tenn.,) received a letter from Jersey City, N. J., signed Winnie Da vis, asking the immediate loan of a thousand dollors until she could repay it from the receipts of her mother's book. He hand ed the letter to a man familiar with Miss Davis' handwriting He pronounced it a forgery. The letter was, however, en closed to Miss Davis at Rich mond, and a telegraphic answer was received denouncing it as a forgery Tub proceedings of the 19th annual meeting of the N. C. Press Association, held in Win ston, iu August last, are out and fresh from tha Concord Times book and job presses. It is a neat piece of work and re flects credit upon the efficient secretary, J. ti. Sherrill, editor of the Times. It contains much interesting - matter, also the splendid oration of E. E. Hit hard, of tha Scotland Neck Democrat, and the beautiful poem by IL C. Wall. Murder In Uavie tmiutj.

Such a posi tion is perfectly proper, but the f ict that the existence' of the lease law has provoked such extreme hostility a? to cause numbers of men to become law breakers, proves the necessity for action on the part of the Legislature which will 'remove the cause of .discontent. Men are not disposed to have respect for laws which deprive them of their means of obtaining a liv ing, however much it may be their duty to yield obedience to tho duly constituted authori ties, and as the best way to in duce obedience to law is to give the citizen no just cause for complaint, it is clearly the duty of the Tennessee Legislature to recedi from the unfortunate position ussurnod when it au thorized a lease of its convictJ lauor wnicu win require iuo military power of the State to enforce. From every point of view the law is an unwise one and it surprises us that thia fact has not made itself patent to the Tennessee legislators." - Plenty ol Cora. Statistical returns of the Na tional departim-nt of agricul ture for Nove.nber, make the corn crop one o? the largest in volume, with a Tate of yield slightly above au average of 2G bushe s per acre. The condi tion has net been very high at any period of its growth, but it has tieen quite uniform, with no record of more than 10 per cent of disabilities from. , all causes. The eastern and - west ern ends of the corn belt Ohio, Iowa and Nebraska gave some what better yields than Indiana and Illinois, or Missouri and Kansas, the lower levels of the great eorn'beH suffering taore fronr threatened drought than higher elevations. The highest rate of yiehl, as estimated, appears in New Eug land, from 35 to 40 bushels per acre; in the south the range is from 1 1 in Florida to 25 in Mary land. Much of tho crop is yet m stock, and its condition and rate of yield may be somewhat bet ter known after garnering and marketing Yet it' is evident tho product will not be less than 2,000,000.000 bushels, or 31 bushels per unit of population. The South is moving along, but building up and encourag ing business, increasing , her school and educational advant ages, multiplying tho pleasant and agreeable social fecturea and making rapid strides in general advancement of every nature. Tho hum of machinery, the noise of the mill, the shafts of the mine, tho whistle of the locomotive and the course of the steamship are no longer the characteristic of a section. They are now the marked feat ures of the South. The land of cotton is-lhe land of the blast furnace; the land of powers and fruits is the home of manufac tories and business, aud the en ergetic, restless, tireless worker and producer sleeps under the cool Southern breeze with equal if not more healthuiluess and invigorating restfulness as his cola borer in the North. 1 1 mi 1 a Maaw vhim Tlilrij-t'our Million. It is said that during October thirty-four millions of dollars were added to the currency in circulation, and yet ,no one knows it. It has hod no appre ciable effect on the money mar ket. This is on y a straw, but we think it shows that the amount of money in this coun try can be very largely increas ed without detriment to any in terest, whiio it would uvau much towards promoting gen eral prosperity.

Men discourse elo quently in favor of prohibition, not that they have any fears for themselves, but that thoir neighbor was either standin upon, or might possioly ap proach too near; the verge of a great gulf trom which he must be rescued. : A man was walking along the streets of a city. lancing in at an open door whence came sounds of a serious altercation, he saw a man and his wife in a hand-to-hand struggle. Being too chivalrous to see a woman the victim of such barbarity, he stepped between the combat ants. Both at once lurned'up on him, and, had he not been a man of firm muscle, wouhl have received a severe drubbing. He went on pondering tha sentence, "Am i my brother's keeper?" Weodco had a bit of unpleas ant experience in. trying to sep arate' two fighting dogs7 and ever since, at such times, we have been wise enough to let the canine specks alone A good christian lady ha I long been regirding, with anxi ous eye, the evident bar lness of heart of a sister communicant. Seizing a favorable opportunity, she administered what was deemed judicious" reproof. She was thanked by the erring one vr ho afterwards reflected upon the situation, imagined herself aggrieved, aud then relieved herself of as ,.iuch vituperation as any one mortal can well con tain. The good Vister bore it calmly, but is still undecided as tj what is the real meaning of "Am I my brothers keeper?" Some politicians have, by shrewd distortion, attributed to this a. certain phase of meaning which might be termed the height ot exegeticaPimpudence. A certain christian" brother, re nowned for his piety, came to us in a confidential way, and said: "lhe business ot pur chasing votes, as practiced by many, is an unjustifiable wrong; but in ourjquiet way of proceed ing hero it must be confessed that I discern no objectionable features, lou see mere is a class of irresponsible men in this prec-nct- who must be watched closely else they will vote on the wrong tide. ihoy come to look upon voting as a regular harvest season, and what we give them, iu many instances, goes to buy the neces saries of life. Their votes ac at least cast right, and we do not begrudge them what might be termed, with nil propriety, a bit of charity. Thus we become, in a political sense, cur "broth er's keeper." . Tub theory that time is mon ey is measurably sustained by the fact that the man who has the most of it spends it the most recklessly; but the theory is somewhat snaked by the fact that the man who hasn't any to spare . purchases a great deal piore with it than the man who has so much of it that he doesn't know what to do with it. More over, we have st-en any number of men, who had more time than the lapse of aes, strain ing every effort to borrow ten cents. We guess time isn't money in tho sense that money is spondulicks.

A correspondent of the Lyiich burg Virginian says: The sub joined article on county roads, extracted from an editorial in the. Baltimore Suu. of Friday last, is both interesting and time y, appearing as it does on the ovo of the assembling of many of tho Stat3 Legislatures, whose attention should be press- ingly called to the importance of uevismg some practicable system for the improvement of "highways for the great volume ot internal traffic," .that have much too long been neglected in Virginia. The information contained m t lis article is in structive and may prove sug gestive to our legislators. Says the Sin: Mr. Isaac B. Potter, of New York, has an articleln the last number of tha Forum on "The Profit of Good Country Roads." He considers the cost to the far mer of carting his produce over country reads, "dissolving in the rains of April, baking and pulverising benoat'ithe rajs of tho midsummer sun, drifting and disappearing in the whirl winds of November, and pres enting at all times but little more than a roughened streak of soil to sarvo as a highway for tha great volume of internal traflice," as no small tictorin the existing agricultural de pression, lie draws a striking picture of the suburban roads, maintained largely by private subscription, aud presenting comely homes and kindred evi dences of comfort. "A distance of a few miles more will lead you to a more scattered popula tioa. Siving in homely and more secluded structures, and, in spite of their evident sobriety aad industry, surrounded by cer-aia signs of unrequited toil, whilo the further progress of your j mey will introduce you in due time and with tolerable certainty- to a region of rougher ho:;iestodds and abandoned fairas." Ho cites certain parts of New Jtrsey, and notably I'S! find llnmn nmintLia -wht.T3 th3 increase in land values and ths prosperous and contented coudition of the peo ple have confassdly resulted as the outcome tf a new system of macadamized roads, the large expense of. making tiiem hav ing been more than counter balanced by the great value of property, while tne tax rate has not increased. "In Orange county, N. J., in some of tne towns of Massachusetts, Rhode island and uonnectieut, and m one or two isolated cases in New York, the industrial value of improved roads has been re peatedly verified." This is so well understood in Europe that England and Wales are spend ing upward of twenty millions ot dollars aunually in the main tenance of their exvellest sys tem of macadamized roads. The French government annu- uuy in the maintenance of their excellent system of macadamiz ed roads. 1 hi b rench govern ment annually spends eighteen millions of dollars in the care of oue hundred and thirty tnousanii tuiics ot nam, smooth roads. Iu Belgium, Baden, Hess?e Durmtadt and other European States, the main roads have for years been maintained at tho cxpepso of tho general government.

It has twice ratted the Senate. and was lost in the Asntmbly uy ciny a Mon.ir mnrgai, in Pennsylvania a bill fvr the same purpose was introduced in the Legislature last February, but has not yet been acted on. In MaASiichusctts, Ohio, Rhode Island uud several other States similar activity h is been noted in the hulls of legislation, and the gradual tendency of the law-making bodies is manifest ly in the direction of better and more practical road laws. In Maryland a similar suirsresthm of State help was made a year or two ago in the farmers' granges. A corrc;ondent in a late number of The Countrv Oeutleinin, speaking of his ex perience abrbad, declares that our- country roads are ' "the worst in the world." Taken al together, it is evident that the people aro- becoming aroused to this fact, and there is a reason able hope that if the agitation is kept up this disgraceful con dition of thing, that bears so heavily on our farming com munities, and is now every where beginning to be recogniz ed as a scandal to our general woalthand intellicronce. will ha eo impressed upon popular op inion mat a concentrated eliort will be-mado having for its ob ject the permanent improve ment of our country roads. The question ts not -whether any of the methods suggested above are practiable, at this time, for Vircinia. About that there might be differences of opinion, isut the absorbing questions are: "What shall be done to imnrove tha eountrv roads over which many of our farmers have to haul their pro duce to market; to facilitate and encourage the nursuit of no-ri- culture; to enhance the value of farming lands; to make farming more tolerable for the husband man, and to indued immigration to the rural soctions of our State?" - . Don't Trust Appearance The experience that four drummers had in a St. Louis hotel a few days ago, which may be profitable to them in the future, reminds the . Norfolk Ledger of one of the erroneous notions entertained by people generally, which was dispelled during the "lata unpleasan- ness." lhe drummers mention ed, upon entering the place in which "creature comforts" are dispensed, found a young Eng lishmana mere stripling dressed in dandy fashion, with a drawling manner of speech, engaged in conversation with a companion. Thinking to have some fun at the expense of the British visitor, they commenced to comment upon his peculiari ties of speech and odd manner of dress, which finally caused the Briton to resent the rude treatment of the strangers. One of the drummers thereupon undertook the work of chastis ing the "dude," but the result was entirely different from what was expected. The drummer slapped the Englishman in the face, but when the latter's friend came to his rescue he told him to stand aside that ho would attend to his four an tagonistswhich he diil in a vry effective manner, lleflrit landed his right fist in the face of the man that had struck him and sent him sprawling to the tioor; with his left fist be struck the second man and knocktd him through an open trapdoor to the cellar below, and. when ho looked around for fresh con quests he discovered the other two tumbling over each other in their attempt to get out of his way. The incident also re minds the Ledger that during the war men who were known as "dandies" up to that period proved in many instances to be excellent soldiers, while as a general thing those who hal established reputations as bul lies turned out to be arrant cowards. It is safe to say that the quartette of St. Louis drum mers, iu dealing with strangers, have teamed the lesson of not "trusting to appearances." Kx'l'reidciii il.i iieak t Ex-Preaidvnt Hayes, in a sweeh delivered yesterday on the Southern Exposition ground at Montgomery, Ala., dtH-b.red himself in favor of home rule, and said he believes that the flag of the nation should not float over conquered provinces, but over free and independent States.
