Mr. illen, rector of the Episcopal church in Lenoir, reached" this place last week from Minnesota. The South is, -e are informed, overstocked with horses and mules, nd returning drovers say that their buiiness is not profitable. The cotton fields are thronged with negro women and picaninnies who strip the bark from the cotton roots and sell it to the "yarb" deal ers. Last Thursday Dr. Beall drew off the water from his lower pond and found in it 3,000 carp. It was scarcely two years since he placed in. it only 47 young ones. , Catawba Superior Court con yencs next Monday. The case of the State ts. Jenkins, from this county, is set for trial at the present term of the court for that county. Last Wednesday was St Valen tine's day,' and the young folks thronged the post office in anticipa tion of the arrival of that most un satisfactory piece of literature a valentine. The housekeeper will find two valuable recipes on the fourth pae of this paper. The recipes which we will from time to time publish in our household column have been tested by one of our best housekeep era, and ! if preserved, will be. well worth the subscription price of this paper. Some of our legislators have lately been down to the seacoast at Beaufort, among themi Dr. "Wilcox, of A she. 1 he Ne wbern J ournaZ says that on waking up Sunday morning and finding the tide two feet higher than it was the night before the Doctor thought that "there had been a d 1 of a big rain." Reports from our correspondents in all sections inform us that the farmers are taking advantage of the fine weather of the past few weeks and are pushing their spri ng work ahead with unusual zeal. Upon the whole, small grain crops in the mountains are reported as looking more flourishing at present than those in the lowlands1. The Fayetteville Ocwerter, many Tears edited by that stately Caroli nian, E. J. Hale, has been revived by his son, E. J. Hale, Jr., a gentleman who besides his inherited editorial talent has had wide experience as a writer and publisher. We welcome Mr. Hale into the North Carolina brotherhood of the press, where his father was so long a recognized lead- ' ' :', -in- ' - Whtn our legislators went to Raleigh we particularly requested Col. Lenoir to keep a watchful over- ght on our member who is young nd impressionable ; but since the member from Watauga has taken to writing pretty speeches about the ldie, we may be prepared to receive tidings that the member from Cald well has eloped with an entire female erainary. We regret to learn that ' Dr. S. A. Grier, of Patterson, has decided to remove to Cabarrus county to prectice his profession. The , people ; of our County are ; so distreesingly healthy ("that the doctors ' have - Very little encouragement. 'While wxh kg the'people of Cabarrus no harm, e hope that Dr. Grier may find : a better field for the practice of hia profession in his new home. On the first pagt of the paper, be found a very interesting letter written for the Vesper Beading Club by an honorary member in .'. Texas. We commend it to our young men who are suffering from the ."Texas fever," and for fear that some of our, readers may think the letter a product of the elastic veracity of Tom Ochil " tre we will state that theriter is a ntive of North Caroling;4, a State where the - sublime, influence of a thful press tinges ,tbe,-?ierature, ft TWadejing m TCXI.

We have reason to be proud of the representatives from this section un tne legislature, uine Asnevilie Citizen speaks in praise of Mr. Bow er's skill as a" debater, and Col.

Pearson, of Morganton, and Hilliard assistant Superintendant of the Western Asylum, have visited the family, and pronounce the disease small-pox. It is supposed that Mr. Copeland brought the disease from Texas in his clothing.
