WHEAT. the minds of our citizens, spent the larger part of Ids" .life in Salisbury. . lie was for many years the leading physician in -the county, and his practice was very exlvnsive. He married 3Iiss Mary Williams, of llills boro. At the organization of the Presby terian Clinch of Salisbury, Dr.' Long became one of its original members, and one of its first Ruling Elders. Jle continued to be an Elder until bis death in 1877, in the 89th year of his age. ..- Maria Long daughter of Alex. Long, Esq., became the wife of the late Michael Brown, of Salisbury, so long a prominent d chan',ind Riling Elder of the Presbyterian churcli. The houses of Dr. Long and Michael Brown were for many years the abodes of a bountiful hospitality. Ministers and agents for religious objects always found there a cordial welcome and a generous entertainment. Harriet, i another daughter of Alex. Long, was married to the late George Brown, for a long period a lead ing merchant of Salisbury. Rebecca Long married Capt. Edward Yarboro. The others were all well known, and exerted an iuftu ehce in their day. In the large" family of Alex. Long, Sen., wc have an element of Rowan society as it existed at the close of the 18th and beginning of the 10th century. The family burying ground of tlie Longs as on a high bluff near the river bank a short distance below the ferry. 2. The next plantation on the Yadkin, and just below the Long Place, was originally called theStroupriace," and in late years, the ''Bridge Place." It was owned in those earfy days by: Lewis Beard, son of Jolin Lewis Beard, one of the first settlers of Salis bury. Some misunderstanding havingaiisen between Mr. Long and Mr. Beard concern ing the right of the latter to keep a ferry on his lands, Mr. Beard secured from the Leg islature the right to build a bridge over the river on his own lands. He therefore secu red as an Architect, Ithiel Towr.e, and erect ed a magnificent bridge, at a cost of $ 30 000. For many years this bridge stood there, and spanned the stream, affording passage at all heights of the river. It was known in later years as ''Locke's Bridge." Its piers may still be seen rising in their rums above the waters, from the Kail Road Bridge, a half mile below. Lewis Beard married Susan, the daughter of Jno. Dunn, Esq., of Salisbury. Of their children, Mary inarried Maj. Moses A. Locke, for many years President of the Bank in Salisbury. The grandchildren of Major Locke still reside at the Bridge Place, near the river. Christine, another daughter of Lewis Beard, married Charles Fisher, Esq., a lawyer of Salisbury. From 1818 until his death in 1849, for. nearly 40 years, Charles Fisher was a leading man in Rowan county in public affairs, serving often in the State Legislature, and several times in the U. S. Congress. His son, Col. Chas. F. Fisher, was a leading man. He volunteered at the beginning of the late war, aud fell in the rst battle of Manassas, courageously tight- ins in front of his regiment. Another chifd of Lewis and Susan Beard: was Maj. John Beard, who died about fire years ago at his home in Tallahassee. Florida. 3. The third plantation on the Yadkin, coing down the stream, was owned by Val entine Beard, afterwards known as Cowan's Ferrv, and at present as lied rick s Ferry Valentine Beard was a continental soldier in the Revolutionary war, and fought at the Battles of the Brandvwineand Germantown, !jne of the old days.

He commenced life as a merchant; but soon turned his attention to farming, in which he was eminently successful. In 1787 he became a member of the legislature of North Carolina. In 1790 he was a member of the first Congress of the. United States under the Constitution. He was appointed by Geni Washington first Comptroller of the Treasury of the United States, which office he held until 1802. when ho resigned,though solicited by Mr. Jefferson to continue. He occupied many other prominent stations, and filled them all with faithfulness and success. On the day of his death Aug. 14, 1815 he was elected to the House of Com mons f North Carolina, A singular story is told of a circumstance that occurred at his death. During the time he was Cdmp-j troller he presented to hs, native; town a clock the one how on tht Courthouse, and a bell. The night of Gen. Steele's death,; the clock commenced striking, and continu ed to strike many hundreds of times, until it was ruu down. Hugh Ilorah, a watch- maker, had the clock in charge, but he could do nothing with . it. It wa doubtless, all things considered, a singular co-incidence, and calculated to beget a superstitious awe in the minds of the people. In 1783, John Steele married Mary 'Nesfield of Fayette ville. Three daughters lived to grovjr up and marry. Ann married Cen. Jesse A.! Pearson.- Margaret married Dr. Stephen L.: Ferrand, and was the mother of Mary the wife of the late Archibald Henderson, Esq., and Ann who married the late late John B. Lord Esq., afterwards the late Rev. John Haywood Parker, and lastly T. G. Haugh- ton. Esq. j Luza, daughter of Gen. John Steele,-mar ried Col. Ian Salisbury. Col. Macnamara's children are all dead except Louise, now in a Convent, and Eliza who married Dr. Lynch of Colum bia. S. C. Gen. Steele erected the house oc cupied by the late Archibald Henderson, Esq. There he died at the age of fifty, and near his residence he was laid to his rest, where a memorial stone consecrated by con jugal and filial affection, testifies to his char acter "as an enlightened statesman, a vigi- niptr.ro kTTp fnv it a nncva ; !. 1 . , . .

Second to a sense of duty, there is probably no high er incentive to the faithful discharge of pub lic trusts, than the hope of transmitting an honored name to posterity. But if posteri ty forgets their honored" ancestors, then neither the dread of shame nor lore of honor is left to inspire men to an honorable course of life.

I have at- tempted this. Three weeks ago to-day, Mr. B, returned from his visit to S. Although I was absent from him in the fleshv still, I walked with him, talked with and vistcd the same, and saw the same dear familiar faces. But alas! there came not to me the xoices of dear friends, yet there is much comfort in the old saying, "that every will have its day." And the longer the separation, the greater the joy will be at the reunion. The saddest thought connected with the absence of ricuds and families, is the uncertainty of ime and events; but the sustaining hope and desire of my existence is to again in this world see those who are now in the 'sear aud yellow leaf of lifeand be once more safe, housed aud garnered in their arms. Mr. R. speaks often of his visit, and though it was short, I think from questions asked and answeredjthat he made good use of, and well improved his time, Since last writing, many changes and im provemcnts have taken place in our little svn. The quiet of our own home, which two years ago seemed quite secluded, has exchanged its country-like air for much of the dust aud bustle of town. Several nice residences, right near us, have been erected, and displaying considerably more architec tural taste and elegance than the most o them, the majority being quite small, one story buildings, without any attempt at style or convenience, l ne town nas grown mucn more compact, or in other words the houses arc not so few and far between, but there is nothing special to recommend them, except the hand of time visibly stamped upon many. But the outward appearance mat ters but little, so there abideth within that which is good. And you will find in Den ton some as good and noble people as you care ever to meet. As evidence of this,thcrc is an abundant influence for good, there are meetings every week of societies and clubs, Thev have voung men s christian associa- rf w - tion, voung msn and ladies' literary club.
