The. iraiu left Henry's Monday nrOiuing, last ' about 7 o'clock. Snow wat fairing at the tunet Jwllh the thermoneter, regie feriug IS degrees below z"ro. Soon after starting, the track grew very heavy.' but the train madaged to leach O d Fort. The suow was falling at a teniblc late, and with each luru of the wheels progress became in ore and more difficult. Four uiil-s below Old. Fort, the engine give out of "water, and the traiu came to. a dead si p. r.he . locomotive wju cut loose,, and with eogiueerMarsh, route agent Rain nay and lour negroes, started alone Ui thw Unk which was three uiih s distant.

Wh!flr trailing on the road, a whole' cofey b( partridges was seen, frozen to death, au4 some of the crowd reached 4 them and broke off the beads of some, their necks snapping like corn-stalks. At Catawba ltiver a yearl ing was seen some little distance "ottl1 in the stream,' its ; bind legs having sunk through the tceV leaving its head and fore legs up right. I It was frozen to death. The poor brute had no doubt gone out on the ice to try to get some water. The fivers and' creeks all along the line of the road having first1 frozen over and then been f covered entirely by the snow, people and animals go over them as over the level earth. There is no sign anywhere of a running stream. With the apprehension of the people that they and. theh stock will freeze or starve to death before the snow melts, is inter- mingled the dreadful fear that when the thawdoes come U will deluge the whole face of the earth, carrying with it destruc tion and death.' Mai. Rollins" says the people of the mountains never knew or imagined such a lerritiii snow storm, 'aud the Western Railroad 'never underwent snch an ordeal. The train hands worked nobly to facilitate the-progress of the trains and some ol them cafinot now walk a step, so badly are their feet frost ldrten. In addition to the snow, the ! weather is bitterly cold, and much stifferin? is u:i Joabtedl v beinir undergone-by the westerti people. -Hal Netcs. '-.

Dr. Deems prayed and members 'of the family who were present sang a hymn. lis physicians were at the dying man's-bedside, and did all that medical aid could suggest to make his last moments peaceful. The funeral will take place Sunday morning.. At a" meeting of North Carolina bond holders to-day a resolution was passed HUtborizing the appointed of a committee of arbitors between the State of North Carolina and the holders of its bonds, and that they are anthor z d for and on behalf of the '"bondholders, to take such action as they deem wise lo secure if possible re adjustment of the Stato of North Carolina, flpou a basis that shall be equally con siderate and jijgt to the Slte and bond-' tinders. .The, member of this 'commit tee agreed to act as arbitors in manner prescribed by the resolution.

The New York Sun of the 2d, says : "A dispatch! was received yesterday at the headquarters of the Democratic National Comfni'.tee, in this city, from Gen. W. R. Cox, Chairman of the Den'O cratic Slate Committee of . North Caro lina, contradicting in the ni"8t positive manner the statement made by Judge Mackcy i his .interview with a Herald correspondent at Columbus, published on Saturday last. Gov. Vance, at whose request the telegram is sent, states pos lively that he has nerer had a doubt of Mr. Tildeu's election, nor of his inaugura tion. He expresses surprise at' ihe state ment which Judge Mackey is nlledged to have made, as no conversation has ever taken place between them that could in the remotest degree convey to him such opinions as he .alleges in his interview.

Ere I ng he became tipsy he howled most pneonsly, and unnatur ally lo.dccd up in my face as if for help. He began toefajrg( r and fall like a drunk en man. The nppf arauce of his face atid eyes was extraordinary. He lay on ihe floor until the vff. cts of the drunk wore off. The dog never forgot the trick. Whenever afierward I went to the dress er for ihe bottle he hastened to ,lhe .out side of ihe house. On day, th door being shut, he sprang at one bolt through a pane of glassj to get outside. .

Yoar memoryls bad, perhaps; but I can tell you two secrets' that "'will enre tha worst memory. One I mentioned abore;" ! to read a subject when strongly interest7 ed. The other is lo uotonly read,- bat think. When you have read-a paragraph or a page stop, close the book, aud try ta remember the ideas on that page, and oat only recall them vagoely in youiSBiind bat put them into words; and speak then' out. Faithfully follow these two rules, t and you bare the golden keys of know! ' edge. Besides inattentive reading, theW are other-things" injurious to memory. .. One is the habit of skimming brer news papers, items of news,' smart remarks, bits of. information, political reflections, fashion notes, all iu,,a , confused juiabla, never to be though Tof again, thus dili geutly caltivaiiiig a habit 6f careless read iug hard to break. Another is the" read ' ing of trashy novels. Nothing, is so fatal to rending with profit as the habit of ran uing through story after etory, and for gelling them as soon as read. I know a gray haired woman, a life-long lover of books, who sadly declares that her mind has been ruined by such reading. A help to memory is repetition. Notb ing is so certain t keerr your .
