Singular Death.
aAt the colored picnic near Lebanon
last week, a young man named Fred
White killed a garter snake, and out oi
pure cussedness wound it about the
neck of Mollie Woods. The young girl
was terribly shocked, and suffered se
verely until last Friday, when, Having
partial! recovered, she took a walk.
In the course of her walk she met
White, and the sight of him, reviving
her memory of the loathsome necklace,
threw hervinto convulsions. ; Sunday
afternoon she died, White deserves to
be hung, not for murder, as he doubt
Ies only intended a little harmless fun,
but for being too great a fool to be al
lowed to run at large. Indianapolis

A distinguished member of the cabi

' STATE ITEMS.
Physicians report a great deal of
sickness in Raleigh at picscnt.
Watermelons have become a3 "corn
men as dirt" in Charlotte market.
Tuesday was pay day at tbe Insane
Asylum in Raleigh. It averages about
$1,100 per month to pay off its em -ployes.
Says the Newton Vindicator: Corn
crop looks splendid, and so docs the
glass hard to tell which is best in our
fiekls."
The Jefferson Mountain. Messenger
says ''Good morning" has played out,
and persons salute each other with
"how are yon getting along with your
copper mines,"
The Charlotte Observer regrets to
learn that Mr. D. A. Wilson, a young
man of Long Creek Township, was
thrown from bis horse on Friday, and
injured in such a manner as to cause
his death Saturday morning.
Mrs. J. M. Sherwood, widow of the
Llamentd and distinguished editor of
the Fayetteville Presbyterian, Rev. J. M.
Sherwood, is a great sufferer with can
cer, and is at present in Rome, N. Y.,
under medical treatment.
Wake county, according to the Sen
tinel, has listed this year for taxation,
oi "money on hand or on deposit, in or
out of the State, only $181,025,00 while
the last report of the Raleigh Banks,
returns under the item of "individual
deposits" the sum of $10,047,776 95.
The Sentinel learns from agentleman
who was present at the meeting of the
stockholders ol the Atlantic, Tennessee
& Ohio Railroad Company, recently
held at Statesville, that the discussion
which took place between McAden and
Johnston was of the most bitter charac
ter, crimination and recrimination, the
lie, and the damned lie, passing and re
passing. We understand that our co
temporaries of the press there consider
ed the sc;ne too disgusting to be re
ported. We learn from the Sentinel thit Gov.
Caldwell has pardoned - George Smith
and Eaton Mills, convicted of robbery
at the Fall term of Halifax . Superior
court, and sentenced to three years in
the penitentiary. The pardon was
granted on tbe recommendation of the
Judge, Solicitor and Dr. Hawkins, on
condition that they remove their place
of residence permanently from Halifax
county, within ninety days from July
12,1873. These men were associated
with the notorious John H.Everett in
the breaking oen and robbery of box
jcars at Weldon about three years ago.
Everett has long since been pardoned
and left the State.
The Sentinel says that Dr. Hawkins,
President t.f the Raleigh & Gaston Air
Line Railroad, fermerly " Chatham
Railroad Company," has redeemed the
mortgage of $2,000,000 held by the
State on said company, executed in
1808, by surrendering $1,703,000 of
State bonds heretofore issued to the
Chatham Railroad Company, in ex
change for its bonds ; also $297,000 of
State bonds of other classes. By this
transaction the State is benefitted to
the amount of $297,000 principal and
$84,060 interest, as the debt is reduced
such an amount. The bonds (the 2,-
000,000) issued by the State lor which
the mortgage was executed were decla
red by the Supreme Court unconstitu
tional, and therefore these bonds were
not considered as valid obligations of
the State, and have not entered into the
Staters indebtedness.
WASHING-TON NOTES
The accounts of the late 'Paymaster
Hodge have been settled at the Second
Auditor's office, and show an actual
deficit of $443,116 21, which the gov
ernment will lose.
It was thought that the introduction
of postal cards would greatly affect the
sale of ordinary postage stamps, but
thus far tbeir sale has been increased,
32,747,910 ordinary postage stamps be
ing sold last week. .
A claim agent in Louisville, Ky.,
sends a claim for use of horse in the
war to the Third Auditor, and requests
payment "as soon as the condition of
the United States Treasury will admit
of it." He must think Uncle Sam is
hard up.
Secretary Richardson has received
from Philadelphia a, copy of the new
trade dollar, just coined. It is about an
inch in diarzeter, with the thirteen orK
ginal stars around the face, a female
figure seated on a shea! of grain, with a
sprig from a bough in the right hand
and a streamer bearing the word 44 Lib
erty" in her left hand, and " 1873 "at
the bottom of the piece. The words
44 United States of America" form a
semicircle around the reverse side, be
neath which is a scroll showing the
motto E Pluribus Unum." In ; the
