It is nov some times called the "Salisbury Cemetery,'! anc 1 1 A 1 . 1 1 " . 1 t "' . nas ucen recently enclosed with a sunsrun tial brick wall by the united contribution of citizens of all denominations.

A.notner early settler liefe ajv peanng at the session of the first Cutt, in June 1 ..:, was John Dunn,-Esq. This gentleman, a native of Ireland, born at aterford, and on his mother's side connect ed with thu Erskinc family. He was a young er brother and was curly sent to Oxford Uni yersity, that tie might prepare himself to carve out his own fortune. When hei about twenty years of age ha left, Oxford land emigrated to America, landinff i Charleston, S. C. After a brief rekidenee there he came to Salisbury, where he ipent the remainder of his lite. Hlecame in 1753 clerk of the court of Pleas and Ouar ter Sessions, which office he held Until he became a licensed lawyer in 1755. His res idence in Salisbury was on the corner of In nes and Church Streets, on the lot how oc cunied bv Mr. P. B . Meroncv. After the style of those days, the- house was bujlt as close to the street as iossible.

I He purchased lot No 5rm the East square, of Carter & Foster, in 1755. He was also the owner of a large tract of land;- inch; ding louie Dunn s 3Iountain, where he made his after the Revolutionary war. j William Temple Coles, was another oft he early settlers in Salis bury. He was a native of Dublin, Ireland, and was related to the Temple family; In Salisbury h was the proprietor, or keeper of a Tavern, situated on the corner oft Cor- bin and Innes streets, where KInttz s Drug store now stands the same propertyfthat Paul Bamnger purchased from Magoune ia 176p. He was a Free-mason as he records himself. Hir"will, still on file in the Regis- ter'office, is . something of a curiosity.! He bequeaths tojiis wife, Sarah, four lots in the town of balisbury her choice from ail his Salisbury lots. He leaves to his son,! Wil liam Temple Coles, Jr. "the whole Town of Salisbury, as conveyed to him by Foster, a former Trustee. His furniture he left to his daughter Henrietta Coles. He bequeathed n half acre of ground in the South Square of Salisbury for a uurymg ground, one half of it to the Freemasons, and one half to the citizens. This lot lay where the jNortn Car Una Rail Road track now is, where the Bank street bridge crosses the said road. It is remembered, that when the "cut" for the Road was made many human bones j were exposed. By what means the right of the citizens and of the Freemasons to said lot passed away we know not. Neither do we know. exactly what claims Mr. Coles had to the "whole Town of Salisbury. And iwhat uccame 01 wiiiiam Temple Coles, Jr., or Henrietta Coles, or where the elder Coles was buried, are questions more easily askr cd than answered. Though hot pcrmament residents if the couaty of Rowan the names of James Jnnes and Francis Cdrbin were very "familiar in the days of the early settlement of fealis- bury. These were Earl Granville's Land Agents, and had in their hands the whole disposal of the lands in the Earl's vast es tate. Moscly and Molten were the first Agents, and after them Childs ami Cprbin. Hillsboro was first called Childsburg j after one of these agents." I Upon the remyal of Childs, the Agents were Corbin and Innes. These gentlemen had an office on the corner of Innes and Church Streets, where thejfbun tain in Mr. R. J. Holmes' yard now is. in close proximity to John Dunn's law bmce, Francis Corbin was a citizen of Chowan, and resided a few miles fromEdentoni He ja represented as an extortioner, charging exoruitanc iees lor nis omcial acts. At one time ten or fifteen men of Halifax cpunty arrested' him and compelled him to jive a bond that he would produce his books and return all money received by him aboye his propeMees. msteau ot doing this hq com menccu a suit against tpe rioters, and- some . . . - X1' 1 ) . i w.,. ' . ' ' - . , -! , of them were Jot! ced in the Enfield croal. But qn the next day the prison doors were uroKcn uqwn, and the prisoners liberated. Corbin then thought fit to discontinue the suit and pay costs. James Innes was a citizen of Wilmington and a baron of the court of Exchequer there. j.f n ao uswiawu wiiii vorum in lue Daiis-i bury land-office, and one of tho principal streets was named after him. But even more prominent among our people were two broth-f era." who probably came to this county along with Francis Corbin from Halifax or Eden- ton. There names were i , ' Joun and Tirow a "Fitcmntrti. 1 The name of John Fkohock, in bcautifuj round hani appears as "Court Clerk" ob the tecords as early as 17o6, and for a number of years after the large volumes of land ti ties of various kinds are recorded in the same beautiful hand, and authenticated un his signturc. Step by; step he grew very wealtnv, chiefly, it would appear, by enter ing and selling public lands. The books are largely filled by conveyances either to him or from mm. In his will, dated 1768, and proved in 1772, there are named thous ands of acres of land in Kowan County, in the forks of the Yadkin, near Salisbury, on Saxapahaw, on Tar River and in Virginia, bequeathed by him to his two brothers, Thomas and William Frohock. besides thirty or forty slaves, one of which he liber ated at death.' He was once the owner of the lot on which the Watchman office and and Crawford's Hardware store now stands, and in a transfer of said lot between John Frohock and William Temple Coles, the street now called "Fisher street " is called Temple Street." He mentions neither wife nor child in his will, and it is presumed that he was not married. Besides the kind ness shown in the education and liberation of his botly servant, Absalom, he expressly enjoins that his debtors should not lie op pressed or sued, but ample time given to them to pay their debts to his Executors. His brother William does not appear to have resided 'here, but had his home in Haxlifax, though one of his daughters married and settled in. the vicinity of Salisbury. Thomas Fkohock resided on what has been known as the McCay place, and inherited the mill am! the lands adjoiuiug from his brother John Frohock, who was probably the builder, -certainly the owner of the Mill, aiuTof al tho lanus Jvinr between lue l own ana Grant's creek. j Dr. Caruthers designates Thomas Fro hock as a "bachelor," but the evidence of his will is to the contrary. 'His will in 1794, leaves his property to his son Alexander Frohock, and to his daughter Elizabeth, who was married to Charles Hunt, a 'merchant of Ssilisbury. There are two or three items of his history o peculiar interest. Tho first is that ho gave to t lie town the lot now known as the."English Grave Yard," or "Oak Grove Cemeterv, and the School House lot immediately in front. The oldest stone in this yard is that of Capt Daniel Little, who died in 1775, and was laidtpeacefully to rest just as the stormy days of the Revolutionary war were com- iug on. In this place, it is said that some of Gates' soldiers, after the battle of Cam den; wounded there, or worn out in their flight, were buried. And here were inter red some of the British soldiers, who die in 1781 during the time that Cornwallis occupied Salisbury. The grave yard lay unenclosed, until about 50 years ago when William Gay, the father of tho late Mrs Mary Brown, left a legacy for that purpose. With the prtKreeds a Wooden paling or plank fenco was put around it, and renewed from time to until in 185 tlie present substantial granite wall was erected by the voluntary .contributions of the citizens of this Town. Another matter mentioned by Camthers in his Life of Caldwell (page. 114) is that "Thomas Frohock in Salisbury aud Ed mund Fanning in Ilillboro were Clerks of the Superior Courts in their respect ive counties, and had become exceeding ly obnoxious to the fieople by their ex tortions." "It is said that Fro hock charged $15 for a marriage license ; aud the consequence was that some of the inhabitants on the head waters of the Yadkin took a short cut. They took each other for better or for worse ; aud con sidered themselves as married without any further ceremony." In his last will Thomas Frohock enioius upon his execu tors to pay all his just debts of under three years standing, but to plead the statute of limitation," upon nil claims older than that, whenever they could. A constant tradition represents that Thos. Frohock lies buried in an unmarked grave. on the hillside within two hundred yards of McCoy's once Frohock's mill. It is now one hundred years since these old citizens, Jjunn, iscuru, tjoies, v;orom. Innes, John aud Thomas Frohock lived and acted theirjiart in the ancient Town ship of Salisbury. 2Sow their names are never heard except as the antiquarian rummages among the dusty records of a by-gbne generation, or questions some old citizen whos memory is stored with the traditions of the past. The places that knew them once will know them no more forever. liigle Mills Letter. Mr. Editor : There appeared in the columns of the lFfcAH, some weeks ago, an article clipped from tho States ville Landmark couceriug a project gotten up by Dr. J. W. Ellis, of this Township, to navigate Hunting Creek. Since that time the Doctor has been experimenting vtith his little boat which he built for that purpose. The bull is 22 feet long (rudder 111 front), and driven by a stern wheel and a 2 horse-power, reversible engine. He, with a party of ladies and gentlemen, made an excursion trip down the creek aud back a few days ago aud claims that it is the first sailing ever done in est ern North Carolina on a steam boat. The Doctorls enthusiastic on the subject o uavigating the creek and South River to the proposed Mooresville, Winston and Salem railroad bridge across that river; mid says he can take ten hands, aud in one month do all the cleaning out of the stream necessary to make it navigable. He believes he can run fcis little boat with 80 or 100 lbs. steam and make, vith 1,200 or 1,500 lbs. of freight, 2i miles er hour np stream : and carry 2,500 or 3,000 down stream at the rate of 6 miles per hour.- Hois satisfied the stream can be made navigable for all practicable par noses', and will connect with the Moores ville" W & S. Railroad at tho bridge when tho-trains reach that point. We need more such men as the Doctor to push im provements. I1.G0.

In Kow York, Saturday ,'a long strip of iron rail forcedjits way endwise through a street car on the Fourth aevnue line uueuj wuu passengers, crushing through a thiji seat, penetrating the-thigh of Mr. Samuel Glover, a merchant, of . Fairfield, Colin;., and passing on, lodged against the end ot the car, the car was brought to a srauq sun. i no strip oi iron was in such a possum that Jlr. Glover, who had be- come; almost unconscious from the agony he as suffering; was literally nailed to hiss4at. A police oflicer came up, and, prociiiing axes and sjiws, with tho assis- tance of several; of tho ; passengers, cut away the rear end of the car to release Mr. Glover. After fifteen minutes' hard work' the rail wafe released from its lodg- ment, but still the unfortunate passenger i could not be released. With a penknife the officer managed to cut away the lace rated flesh of Mr. Glovers thigh to re lease him. A hack was procured, and he was taken to Ashland House, where he was stopping. Physicians' were sent for and pronounced his injuries exceedingly serious. Mysterious Painting. Not 100 miles' below Nashville is a curious specta- clu known as the consists 01 a painting upon an immense . .. rock which rises to an altitude of several uuuureu leer, as to who painted it is a mystery, which ( was never unravelled. Many thiuk it as the work of the red brotliier, centurifcs ago perhaps. But there the sun aud the moon shiue out in all the freshness f new paint. They aro licated in id way the cliff, and stand out ill bold relief. As ! to bow any human being ever reached the spot is a question which has never been solved. It is sut- x . . . I ... posed that iu those days they had no giaii ladders, could not easily have reached the point from below. The only natural rope of that time was a wild grape- vine, I which UenncKSee is so proline, and some Iudianj might have boon by this means let dowu'over the dizzy cliff, and when he had finished his work bad'again beeu let down dij pulled up. At any rate these pictures are there ou the everlast ing nnrk, and are likely . to remain for future ages. . I Telegraphic jProgress Last Year. Last year was! remarkable not only for its increase in tlie miles of railroad track laid, and for the-extensive relaying of old tracks, which tbe period pf business de pression had kept too long in use, but also for tho great amount of wire aud wire cable consumed in the laying of land and submarine telegraph lines. A great addition was made to tho num ber of miles of submarine cables laid and the repairs and; replacing of old cables went on at a .rapid rate. Of the new cables, the most important was the At lantic cable, laid for the French company from Brest to St. Pierre and on to Cape Cod, s with a branch from St. Pierre to Canada. Another vast undertaking was that of laying the Submariuo cable from Durban to Aden, in Africa, in all 3,841 uautieal miles,' A duplicate cable was also laid from 1 Peuang to the island of Java,tJ,310 mils in length, and the same company are now extending the lino 1,180 miles fur her, to Port Darwin. A cables (!00 miles long has -also been laid for the French jjovcrnment from Marseil les to Algiers, j Another 147 miles long, has been laid across the Caspian Sear for the Russian government. The Spanish government has laid a cable between Spain and the Balearic Islands, fifty-six miles-t The Danish government has also used fifty-two iuiles of submarine tele graphic cable. ! Auother feature of ocean telegraphic progress has bbeu tho great increase in the duplexing of submarine cable circuits. The SAnglo-Anierican Company have duplexed their 1874 cable, aud the appa ratus for so multiplying the efficiency of the 1873 cable jias arrivetl at the stations. The Direct Cable Company are also try ing experimentally the duplex system, which, in the case of the 1874 cable of the Anglo-American Company has increased the carrying capacity eighty per cent, since jt was applied last March. Mean time, jwo have; seen the progress of re pairs and tho substitution of new for old cables' in the waters of the West Indies, along the coast; of Brazil, and in tho At lantic'isjibmariue' lines.
