that the college dates its beginning

With a view to determining the
exact quality of our clays, -their
distribution in the State and the
purposes for which they are best
adapted, the Geological Survev in-
augurated during the past year a
careful examination of the clay de
posits in all portions of the State.
A large-number of samples have
been collected and these are: to be
tested during the present winter in
every: way, and by every method
which can throw any light on this
question. In a number of cases the
laboratory tests will be supplement
ed by furnace tests for the fire
brick, and by factory tests of brick
for ordinary purposes; and in the
case of clays for tbe making of tile,
sewer pipe, etc! The report on this
subject, which it is hoped will be

M ri R. M. Sloan will tell you
that Father Paisley's residence was
built of the material gotten from
tbe Martinsville court house build
ing, and the descendants of Mr.
Sidney Porter will' tell you the
same thing concerning the Porter
buildings I suppose that both
statements are correct and that the
old court house furnished material
for , both buildings. It appears
from this that Father Paisley's and
Mr. Porter's residences must have
been erected about the same time.

Two institutions, Edgeworth and
the M. E. Female College, deserve
especial notice as second in im
portance only to the churches them
selves, the former for its past and
the latter for its past and present
usefulness. .
The citizens of Greensboro and
North Carolina are indebted to
Gov. Morehead for the fact that
Edgeworth Female Seminary ever
had an existence. Possessing- a
broad, liberal and enterprising
spirit he was not content with pro
viding for the education of his own
daughters alone, nor did his desire
to provide alscK for the daughters
of others expend itself in empty
intentions or promises, as is often
tbe case, but it assumed a practical
and' tangible form in this praise
worthy enterprise.
About the year 1839 we are not
positive' as to ifhe exact date) he
had erected at his own expepse the
building knowniasEdgewortbiC At
hisr request Miss Mary A. Hoge,
whose effective work as a teacher
in the village be had already; wit
nessed, took 'charge of tbe institu
tion, Her living pupils bear wit
ness to her ; faithfulness and effi
ciency as a teacher,! and to her; un
obtrusive and exemplary demeanor
as a cnristianj- lady. Alter ner
death in 1844 Dr. Weir and wife
had. charge of tbe.institution. His
successors were," first Rev. Gilbert
Morgan, then Richard Sterling, and
lastly, Rev. J. M. M. Caldwell.
Thoogbran individual, enterprise it
was eyer regarded as a Presbyterian
school and all its principals"' were
of that denomination. Miss Hoge
came I here from Alexandria, Ya
of the college
Deems in 1850.
I The Usefulness of these institu
tions Edgeworth ( Seminary . and
the collegehas been by no means
confined; to Greensboro or North
Carolina and the value 'of the work
which they have accomplished can
not be estimated Jin dollars and
cents. Those who were' once pu
pils within their walls have found
homes in ' many other atates, and
they as christian wives and moth
ers, together with their descendants,
have exerted fan influence which
will grow wider and deeper as the
years roll on;' J . j .. . -:'-J
i I have been unable to get such
information; as fixes the date of tbe
organization pf thejM. E. church.
The first mention of Greensboro in
the minutes !of conference already
alluded to Is in 1834. t Rev. S. S.
Bryant in that year! is assigned to
Greensboro. j jThis is evidence that
there was at that time a church to
be supplied, but there is no evi
dence to show; how long it had been
in existence! Up to this time it
had doubles! been included in the
Guilford circuit and had shared in
the labors of the minister? who bad
been : appointed on ; that : circuit.
The church building on South Elm
street . was erected ; between 1830
and 1836. Mrs. Adams, the mother
of Peter Adam s, ; Esq., and Cor
nelins Winbourne, were among the
first members. it is well known
that Rev. Peter Doub, the pioneer
of Methodism in Greensboro,preach
ed in the academy at the same time
as Father Paisley, which of course
was earlier than 1832, when the
first Presbyterian church was dedi

The Boyal Crown of England.
The crown used! at the coronation
of Queen Victoria in 1838, which is
said to be the ibeaviest and most
uncomfortable diadem in Europe,
contains 1,273 rose diamonds, 1,363
brilliants, 273 round pearls, four
large pendant shaped pearls, one
immense ruby, four smaller rubies,
one large sapphire, 26 smaller sap

From the Christian Advocate we
learn that the West Market street
church lately faceted was finished
in 1850. As the old Methodist
church was then sold to the Bap
tist denomination, this must have
been about the date of the Baptist
organization!, previous to t which
there bad only been; two organiza
tibqs m the town. By tbe courtesy
of the; officers and members of the
Methodist church the Presbyterian

une or the most curious mauso
leums in the worlds was discovered
the other day in an orchard at the
vil'sge of. Noebdecitz, in Saxe-AI-tenburg.
A gigantie oak I tree,
which a storm bad robbed of its
crown, was up for public auction.
Among tbe bidders happened to be
Baron von Tbummel, j scion of a
family of ancient lineage that has
given the world of literature one
charming poet and the fatherland
many distinguished statesmen.
The Aaron, who lives on a j neigh
boring estate, had ridden to the
auction place quite accidentally.
Finally the tree was knocked down
to him for 200 marks,. Upon bis
arrival at the castle be told an old
servant of his purchase, describing
the tree -and its situational The
old servant said he remembered at
tending the funeral of a Baron
Thummel seventy or eighty years
ago, and that the body had. been
buried in a thousand-year-old oak
belonging to the parsonageJ In
vestigation clearly proved that the
orchard had once been the property
of ' the village church, and that at
one side of the old oak was an iron
shutter, rusty and time-worn, that
the people of the town had always
supposed to have been placed there
by some joker or mischievous boys.
The iron shutter proved to be the
gate to the mausoleum of Baron
Hans Wilhelm von Thummel, at one
time minister of the state of Saxe-
Altenburg, who died in 1824, and
wished to be buried "in the thou
sand-year-old tree he loved so well."
In the hollow of the tree Baron
Hans caused to be built a! sepulcher
of solid masonry, large, enough, to
accommodate hie coffin. The coffin
was places there, as the church re
cords show, on March 3, 4824, and
the opening was closed by an iron
irate. In the course of time ai wan
of i wood grew . over the opening,
which had been enlarged to admit
the coffin and the workmen, and for
many years it has been completely
shut, thus removing the last vestige
of the odd use to which the old tree
had been put. Tbe tree has; still
some life in it, and its rich verdure
s only now turning a violet.tint.
Tbe coffin in which Baron Hans
reposes has on one side grown to
the tree, the dead and tbe live Wood
oining together in eternal embrace.

proved machinery and methods for
making brick, tile and tewer pipe
of the best quality. In connection
with these investigations, we have
found that in a number of cases
our brick makers are uainr tha
crudest sort of methods for. the
mixing of their clays and the mak
ing of the brick; and the officers
of the Survey have received from
many of them numerous applica
tions lor information along this
line. Hence it is hoped that this
report will be found useful not only
by the persons who desire informa
tion about our clay deposits, but
also by many of ..our own citizens
who are engaged in the manufac
ture of brick , and other materials
but of these clays. J J j -
All clay is tbe result of rotting
of rocks. The best of our clays are
found along the lowlands bordering
tbe rivers and smaller streams,
where they have been deposited by
the action of slowly running water,
the decayed rock having been wash
ed down from the hillsides and the
sand and mica and other -minerals
la these rocks having been Separ
ated from the clays through the
action of water and deposited in
different localities. And thus it is
to-day that the best brick made, in
the State, like those '.at Goldsboro,
Pomona, Bethania, Fayetteville and
Raleigh are made from these stream
deposits. ' t ;''
l Tbe ! result of tbe explorations
conducted during the year by! the
Geological Survey has been to show
up very large quantities of clay of
excellent quality along the lowlands
of many of our important streams,
such as the Neuse, Cape Fear j Yad
kin, Catawba and others. Many of
the best of these deposits haye
never been opened up nor developed
to any extent; but they promise
that in the future as the demand
grows for good brick and other
clay products, we may . expect de

dustries along this line, j

Tennessee has raised the $500,000
necessary to make tbe governmental
appropriation recently passed by
Congress available. When the bill
was signed by the President, here
had only been $480,000 raised.
Soliciting committees went to work
at once to raise tbe amount to
$500,000. The general roundup or
the committees, occurred tonight at
Watkins' Hall, when it was seen
that several thousand dollars over
the necessary amount bad f been
subscribed. The ' occasion f was
made one of great jollification, and
enthusiastic speechee were! made by
Governor Taylor Hon. Blackburn,
Hon. Baker and others.
