Rev. 8. Taylob Martin
Dear Sir : Being a patron of your School
in Statesville, and having many opportuni
ties for inquiring into your method of in
struction as well as the progress made by
your pupils, I take pleasure in recommend-
ing your institution to tne patronage oi tne
public Tour friend and servant,

Judcinsr the future by

. -- - w
with confidence upon this our new enterprise
of separating our Wholesale from our Retail
Trade, by haying a septate and distinct House
far each ; and in doing so we flatter ourselves
that it will nof only meet the approval of our
numerous customers, but that an "Exclusive
Wholesale House" will bring us a large influx
oChmw trade, and of a character not heretofore
enjoyed.
U must be obvious to every buyer that a
strictly "Wholesale House.6 arranged and
adapted for that Trade only, with a corps of
experienced Wholesale Salesmen, with a Stock
carefully selected for that Trade only, and
moreover, the avoidance of coming in contact
with retail buyers, which we and you all have
heretofore found to be so irksome, as it fre
quently happens that the retail buyer is your
very neighbos, (perhaps your own customer).
Bnch a house, we assert, must and will com
mend itself to the Trade.
Font years ago we advertised that we intend
ed to make Charlotte a wholesale mart and
ours 'The Wholesale House.' We now have the
Proud satisfaction of seeing it an accomplished
We now call your attention to the fact that
we have converted our suberb store into an ex
clusive Wholesale House, where you can find
ofl lines of goods necessary for a country store,
to-wit : Dry-goods, Clothing, Boots, Shoes,
Hats, Notions, Groceries, Hardware, Millinery
all in complete fines, bought in large quantities
and from the very first hands.
Our stock is now arriving and will be com
plete about the 1st of September, and will be
the largest of any here, the pretensions of others
to the contrary notwithstanding. Wo respect
fully invite your personal inspection, or write
to us for circulars.
Very truly yours,

lins. a guest at the Bardwell House, in Rut
land, was found in his room with his throat
cut from ear to ear. It was evident that he
committed the desperate deed with the great
est coolness and deliberation. He had seat
ed himself in a chair and permitted the life
current to flow into a washbowl on the floor
before him. One extraordinary feature of
this horrible tragedy is found in the faet that
he left an incoherent statement, written in
his own blood, denying complicity in some
murder of which nothing appears to be
known. Numerous small scraps of paper
written over in the same way were found
scattered around the room. It was plain
that the man bad permitted himself to bleed
to dath slowly, and occupied his last mo
ments in writing these notes. At last ac
counts the affair remained a mystery, and
eertaiuly not even the morbid imagination of
a foe could eoojure up anything more ghastly

The Granges
The number of subordinate granges now
in operation is but a few score leas than
twenty thousand. Iowa had the largest num
ber on the first of June, the date of the last
report, being 1,904. Indiana was 1968. and
Missouri had 1,929, while the Kansas gran
ges numbered 1323. Illinois had 1,481.
and Kentucky 1,101. The cotton and Gulf
States alone had 4,065 grangers. Ther are
grangers in all the States, not Connecticut
and Delaware are without State grangers.

Grnpy & Klatts have erected a steam

Taste and eleganoe are displayed in tbe
recent buildings and in beautiful flower
gardens. As to flowers, I feel that I am
justified in special commendation of care
and taste. The celebrated brass band
has recently purchased a splendid outfit,
and their silver pieces combine loudness
and sweetness to a delightful degree.
The instruments are a charming picture
