College. Since his residence here, Pro-j
lessor Ebert has Ik-en our constant friend
aud -associate, ami no one can feel his loss
more deeply than we. By liis Jcind and
gentlemanly deportment lie has endeared
himself to the people of Lenoir, and all
regret that his interest has made it neces
sary for hiiu to leave us. lie carries with
him the good-will and lest wishes of our
entire community. He leaves here, for
Salisbury and to the gad people of that
town we heartily commend him. Lenoir

We heartily concur with Bro. Blakey,
and welcome -most gladly Prof. Ebert.
He is a musician of no mean reputation,
either as a Professor or composer. We
congratulate the citizens of Salisbury in
their good fin-tune of having another mu
sician of reputation aud "merit in their
midst, and one that will take pleasure in
advancing the musical interests in the
place-. His performance on the organ at
the Presbyterian Church last Sunday elic

A challenge with my signature attached, appeared
In the "Watchman" not long since. It was not ln
rted by me, but by the three gentlemiia who an
swered the bogus missive In last weei"s Issue. It
was a feeble attempt at bull-dozing; yet, as these
gentlemen appear anxious to hunt their dogs, I will
aflord them-an opportunity, and now procee to an
avevf their challenges In regular order.
Mr. W. R. G., IS evidently no sportsman, or else
he would, know that terriers are not recognized in
the Held. But whenever he is ready to proceed with
his rat catching, there U an ''ancient Dr." in town
who owns a genuine rat jind tan, that he will put

Mr. Brown knew that i was at the National Hotel
last week : he did not mention his Egyptian (?) set
ter, Carlo, once, though he saw me several Umes; In
the mean time his brother, M., was at Lin wood. He
could not have been bird hunting, as he did not kill
a dozen birds i hile here. I lnust.tUeretore conclude
that he wasactiug as a Ueturnlag Boanft3ta'or ot
hl.s brother, in order to bull-doze my dog, as I found
her not in good condition when I got aome,one ot
her eyes having been hurt. Now 11 Mr. Brown will
cover the Uventy live dollrrs which he will Und In
Mr. T. K. Bruner's hands, I will be ready to hunt
with him at Unwoocl, placing against his imported (?)
dog my dog Dora.

The University scientific apparatus Is In ruins.
The gentlemen of the Faculty are managing out of
the wrecfc to make shift for the present, but every
week in Its course brings them nearer the time when
a new outtlt for all the Departments of Natural Sci
ence will be imperatively and unavoidably nwessary-
What arrangements the Executive committee of
the Hoard of Trustees may be able to make to meet
this call, is uncertain, ihey talk of employing an
agent lo canvass I lie state. Me in while, the way Is
clear for tlie Ladles of the State by personal effort in
soliciting subscriptions, aud by giving liberally
themselves, to secure to themselves tue honor of
supplying lliis pre.srdng need, and present the col
lege with an apparatus scooud to noae In the coun
try. Our boys need it, audi they must have it.
The Ladies can Uo this it they will. There Is no
doubt of that. Their lartiienee and their example
have worked miracles before now, and can do it
again. If the matrons will sanction, aud if ihe
young ladies will take it up, organize systematically,
in every city aud town, select committees, and give
tneir time seriously for a few weeks to tlie wonc or
raising money, they can easily make the University
a Christmas present of ten thousand dollars.
We j suggest itijat the Ladles of eaeli town should
select! some Instrument or apparatus to present:
Theirinames to be engraved ou it for their great
grand; children to read. For lusHn .-e. the Ladies of
might choose to give a fine " Te'ccvie .- The La

Ladies of a set of ail ; i ne iauies or ,
a set 6f Instruments for illustrating Sound, Heat,
Electricity, &c. ; The Ladles of , a Miqie Lantern ;
for Selentilio illustration. The Ladles or , might.
undertake to furijUsh the Deparment of Analytical
Chemistry (Prof. Kimberly's) ; and the Ladies of ,
that of Klementary Chemistry, ueology und Miner
al' gy4 (I'rof. Redd s).
The articles suggested cost each from $30, to f 200,
or iU0. J.'he Chemicals and sin ill pieces needed In
the Laboratories, too numerous to mention, would
cost from flaw to 5oo. Each of the Departments of
Natusid Science needs froiu 2,500 u$3w, expended
onlt.r
This Is the work weset bi'fore our ladles. It ap
peals to the best feeUngs, and best principles of our
common nature, und calls into exercise every gener
ous and tender emotion. Done, and well done,
promptly and nobly, it will make the heart of every
honcst man and boy in Xorth Carolina throb higher
with jpride in our w omen, and resolve to be worthy
frf tliein.
No act of generosity or tenderness by woman tor
man ever went unappreciated, or unrewaraeu ; nan

benefit to our posterity in many ways, and for gen

good investment Is it not an offerim? prompted by
gratitude, and peculiarly graceful and beautiful, to
those Who were so lately In arms, ami counted not
their lives dear in defence of their country? The
women of the South own much to the men of the
Soutiuand no women have ever been able to boast
nf tmrtr or more trallant defenders than the women
ot North Carolina. They repair annually In crowds
to lay tresh wreatas off ihe graves waere their young

a ploui duty t I iaake this offering to the youth who

MASON & HAMLIN
CABINET ORGANS
Unanimously -assigned
: the
" FIRST RANK
IN THE
SEVERAL REQUISITES"
Of sucli Instruments!
The MASON & HAMLIN ORGAN CO.
have tbe honor to announce that tlie organs
of their manufacture have been unanimously
assigned "ihe FUiST RANK in the ShV
ERAL KKQUISITES of instruments of the
class" bv the Judges at the CENTENNIAL
EXHIBITION at Philadelphia, ISTfi, and are
the ONLY I N ST U MENTS OF THIS GEN
ERAL CLASS AWARDED THIS RANK.
This is after the severest competition by the
best makers, before one of the most competent
t
juries ever assembled.
They have also received the IIluAL,, but,
as unwell known, medals of equal merit have
been a warded all articles deemed worthy of
recognition ; so tUat it will be easy for many
makers to advertise that they have received
"first medals." ,:
The differences in competing articles, and
their comparative! excellence, are recognised
in the Reports of the Judges, from which the
following is an extract :
" THE MASON & HAMLIN ORGAN
CO.'s exhibit of Reed Organs and Har
moniums snows instruments 01 txte
FIRST RANK IN THE SEVERAL RE
QUISITES OF INSTRUMENTS OF
THE CLASS ; viz. : Smoothness and
equal distribution of tone, scope of
expression, resonance and singing qualv
ity, freedom and quickness in action
oi ksys and bellows, with thorough
ness of workmanship, combined
with simplicity of action." (Signed
by aV the Judges.) IheMasou aud Ham
lin Organs are thus declared to rank -first, not
in one or two respect's onlv, but in tbe SEV
ERAL REQUISITES (il such instrument,
and thev are the ;ONLY ones assigned this
rank. This triumph was not unexpected, for
the Mason & Hamlin Cabinet Organs have
uniformly been awarded the highest honors
in competitions j in America, there having
been scarcely six f exceptions in hundred of
