Cowan, and a colored man ou the formers farm four miles from hero n few days ago. They began by throwing rocks at each other, when the darkey jumped the fence into Cowan's barn yard and downed him and proceeded to pound him, when Cowan succeeded in getting to his knife, with which he inflicted three severe wounds. Two in the back and one in tho neck ofJ his assailant. Neither of the wounds will prove dangerous, though it was a narrow escape. o ; Summer Notes. Dr. M.

A youth who had laid him in store a pint flast of real ginger pop, ami had placed it in his right hand pant pocket, was standing at the post office door last Saturday, awaiting the noon day mail, when a sound was heard, and the contents of the bottle began to effervesce through his pants, to bubble out of the top of his pocket and to play tricks and hiss as it ran down his leg into his shoe, and then to boil back from the depths of the shoe and decorate the post office floor. Such a com motion! To see this modest youth draw the bioken parts of that bottle from his pocket and cast them to the street, and not anile would have been impossible for frail humanity. Yet,, through all this he complained not ! au uudescribable smile lit his face as he walked away, holding his pants from his person; and as he met the passers by he would say : "Its ginger pop !" o Teachers Institute for Rowan County is now holding its second annual session iu tho Graded School building of this city. The session opened on Monday, with about fifty in attendance ; and the exercises are exceedingly interesting, even to those not concerned direct ly in school teaching as a business. Mr. Geo. K. McNeill is Superintendent j Prof. N. S. Smith, of Kockingham Co., In structor iu Arithmetic and Penmanship; Rev. F. J. Murdoch, Instructor in History (North Carolina and U. S.); Prof. R. G. Kizer, of Enoch ville, this county, Instruc tor in Grammar and Geography; Miss Lorena Reynolds) Instructress iu Or thography and Reading ; Miss A. L. Bown, Department of Music, aud Mr. J. M. Hill, Secretary. During the session, Hon. K. P. Battle, Calvin H. Wiley, Hou. J. C. Scarborough, Hon. Win. M. Bobbins and Theo. F. Kluttz, are to deliver lec tures ou educational topics. Prof. Smith lectured on last Tuesday night on "Our common school system and its critics.'. His effort was attentively listened to by an appreciative audience. His talk was eminently practical, and tended to en large the ideas of his hearers to the im portance of schools conducted in an in telligent manner. On a blackboard may be seen the His toric divisions as marked out for part of the course, by Rev. Mr. Murdoch. They are as follows ; 1st. Discovery and Set tlement, 1402-1688. 2nd. Growth of Colo nies, 1688-1775. 3rd. War of Indepen deuce, 1775-1783. 4th. Constitution and Early Administrations, 1783-1801. 5th. Fair Administration, I8D1-1829. 6th. Party Supremacy, 1829-1861. 7th. Con federate War, 1861-1865. 8th. Reign of Force, 1865-1882. The last four of these divisions are named significantly and are noticeable in contrast to the usual divis ions in the present National text books, yet with a fitness not lessened by the contrast. While there is a large and enthusiastic crowd of teachers in attendance on the exercises of our Institute, now so success fully conducted in this place, we are im pressed by the fact that many faces are absent, who, by all means should be present Were wo the Superintendent, we would think twice before we would grant permission to teach to those who show so little zeal and enthusiasm in their work. Vtrbum sat. - : o "There wias a young girl from Carlisle, Who on the hack of her neck had a bisle: V . Her lover forgot, and hugged the sore ot, And creams could oe nearu tor a rruisle," The Pater of this girl of Carlise Kicked the young man all in a pisle ; . - i . auu cue old man saiu, as the young man lied: How do you like my styslo ?

BRIBER MANAGER. There is a move which indicates that another company w ill begin work on what is known as the Huimeycutt vein at Gold Hill. Some parties in Gold Hill and in Salisbury are interested in this company, and it is proposed to go to work. Undiscovered Mines. The fact that almost every week we hear of new discoveries of mineral in this and adjoining counties is sufficient proof that there exists yet many undiscovered mineral deposits of value. Few people know what the ''indications'' are, and consequently pass daily our rich mineral lauds. Any suspicious rocks should be gathered and sent for assay to one of the several offices in the county, or to some one sufficietly informed to pronounce a relia ble opinion. In this way the work of dis covery may be hastened. We appreciate and care for all specimens sent to this office. CABARRUS COUNTTrrS z Mineral Wealth. COURSE AND DESTANCE RECONED FROM CONCORD.

Air-brakes have been put on tho pass enger trains between Salisbury and Ashe ville, thus adding to tho control and safety of trains on the mountain section. Major Bowman, civil engineer on the mountain section, is making important changes in that section in reducing cur vatures, particularly at Burch's ridge, where a very sharp curve has been chan ged, briuging the line of track nearer to the mountain. This curve is near the deep valley at the mouth of Mud Cut. Mud Cut is being reduced to manageable condition uuder the management of the same engineer, and is rapidly changing for the better. The whole road-bed from Salisbury west is being relaid with new cross-tics, and the work of renewing rails will be continued from Statesville west as soon as the ties are in place. The work of ballasting is also goiug on and will be made thorough. In connection with this subject, me men tion that a large portion of the convict force on the Duck town branch has been removed and put to work on tho Cowee tunnel, beyound Webster, sixty miles west of Ashe ville, nearly the whole of the intci mediate distance being graded and twenty-one miles iu daily use by tiaius. When the South sbaU lve reached the estate for which she was created, she will be the nchest conn try in me world. This time may be far distant the pathway to this condition will undoub edly be strewn with sharp rocks and hed h! in by thorns but it will surely com s.
