"They often go outsideof their own party, always" aiming to distract the unanimity of the conservatives. Have probably done so this year. "Divide and conquer" is the usual weapon of mi norities. o AVir Gold Mine. A new gold mine lias been opened near what is known as the Rimer mine, about 7 miles South" of this place. The new property belongs to Mr. John A. Snider, in whose hands we saw, a few days ago, an exceedingly rich speci men of quarts ore. The gold was spark ling all over it. This specimen was taken at a depth of 23 feet, and the prospect, to a miner's eye, is said to be very flattering indeed. o Portrait. Tomlissox, of the Hickory PrWhas got up a' fine lithograph like ness' of Gov. Vance which he is offering to sell on card or in frames, at a low figure. He wants agents all over the Slate. Iaxweix & Symoxs, of Charlotte, are out in a similar announcement fine Line Engravings of Vance, and of Hampton, of South Carolina. All who want portraits of these two popular leaders can now be supplied. ' ... : r Health. Very good yet, but the time of year is. at hand when the Commissioners usually order an inspection of back lots and yards. They have demonstrated the ntility of this foresight and precaution. An ounce of preventative is better than a pound of cure, say they, and citizens have sustained the wisdom. If they will en force the use of the dry dirt deodorizer where needed they may" prevent a visita tion of diptheria, scarlet and typhoid fe vers. o -Precept and Practice. The Town Com missioners teach oue way and act another on one subject at leu,st : They forbid the erection of wooden buildings within 400 feet of the public square and put them up themselves wiihin 200 feet. - A few years ago while breaking the law themselves they sent a delegation of their body to wait on a citizen and tell him he must not do it. This is only a little funny, but it is another illustration that corporate bo uies have no conscience, lney erect a wooden shed over the apparatus of the lire department of the city ! -O- Overinan, the Shoe Store man, has done a nice tinner. lie has taken down his sign, which reached across the street and put up instead, three pretty awnings the improvement is wonderful. It would add $o much to the appearance of our main street, if there were no signs or shed across the pavements. It would be a real pleasure to see it so. Will not our mer chants pay some little attention to the looks of their places of business f o SING IT SLOWLY. A Methodist paper requests all who have any sort of patience in listening to stow, dragging singing in some of the church services to the following stanza, written by Alfred Taylor, to the tune of "joyfully :" Dismally, dolefully, downward we drag; Making our luuslc most morntully lag; , - Singfln; tue sougs or salvation so slow; Groaning and grunting aloitg as we go; Palniuliy poking o'er pious old poem, Weary, the worshipers want to go home; Droning so dull they dnn'tf know what to do, Pleased when the plodding performance Is through. Tlie above was handed to us by one thoroughly competent to judge, with-the suggestion to publish, thinking it might be a lesson worthy the attention of & heap of people close in this vicinity. - - o House Breaking and Bobbery. On Thurs day last the widow and childen of Sandy Beaver were out in the fields planting eorn, Miss Polly Hartnian, an aged maid en lady unwilling to stay at the house alone, went with the family to the fields. The house-was locked up and everything carefully secured," but during the after noon some one broke into the house en tering by the door, broke the locks of chests and drawers, and plundered all over Has house, and we regret to say found money belonging to Miss Hart man and other members of the household, amount ing to alout $500. This, together with some-cfothing, they carried off. No clue discovered. ' - SPECIAL LOCAIi COLUMN. Get married Calicoes have gone down to 71 cto per jard. Mr. J.

L RLQUIfrlTES of instrument of t he class" bv the Judges at the CENTENNIAL EXHIBITION at IMiiladelphia, 1871, and arc the ONLY INSTILMENTS' OF THIS (J EN ERA L CLASS AWARDED THIS RANK. This is after the severest competition by tlie best makers, before one of the most competent juries ever assembled. They have' also received the MEDAL, but, as is well known, medals of equal merit have been awarded all articles deemed worthy ot recognition ; oo that it will be easy for many makers to advertise that they have received "first medals." Tlie differences in competing articles, and their comparative excellence, are recognized in the Reports of the Judges, from which the following 18 an extract : " THEJMASON & HAMLIN ORGAN CO. s exhibit of Reed Orguns and Har moniums shows Instruments of the FIRST RANK IN THE SEVERAL RE QUISITES OF INSTRUMENTS OF THE CLASS viz.: Smoothness and equal distribution of tone, scope of expression, resonance and singine anal ity, freedom and quickness in action ox Kevs ana dciiows. wun morougn ness of wot raanship, combined with simplicity of action."
