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 Heraldy July 6 . A distinguished member of the cabi net, in alluding to tbe idea of Congress repealing the backpay law, has no idea that it will be brought about, and thinks it a ludicrous eusrzestion. as well as tbe proposition to repeal tbe law abolishing iue ir&nKing privilege. ' 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 centre appears the American eagle, and beneath it, in semicircle, 420 grains, 900 - fine," and at the bottom, 44 Trade Dollar " in bold capitals. LATEST : BY "TELEGRAPH . . ..

Mrs. Young is at the Walker House, and three leading lawyers are about to institute a suit for divorce, and alimony in a large sum. Great revelations are expected con cerning the inner domestic life of the proph et. Mrs. Young is enjoying the sympathy of the Gentile ladies, and the polygamous Mor mons are a good deal disturbed. NEW YORK. New York, Jufc-17. Alluding to the condition of the Peabody educational fund, yesterday, Mr. Winthrop stated that about $130,000 from the fund had been expended in cooperation with six or seven times that amount contributed by the Southern people in the cause of edncation, since the last meeting of the board, thus making but little less than a million dollars expended during the year, for free common schools in the South. - .TheBoord of underwriters have resolved to levy an additional premium of 1 per cent, on mansard roofs after January 1st, 1873.
