Jacob- sen. ; tahlished an ingrain carpet factory at , vjciiuaiis who recent iv es- the All Healing Springs, in Gaston counlycioie to the city yesterday to exhibit samples of their work, and this gives the reporter a chance to nuiiicuiiiig auuui -hi i a new xtomi Carolina industry and what may be expected of it. The proprietors came South and located their factory at the I All Healing Springs on the 1st of last April. They built three houses, two dwellings and a factory, and went to 1 .work putting in the machinery nee essary to the prosecution of their bu- j sines. They have started on a small scale, as a matter of coarse, but if their business prospers, as it surely ought to do, they will gradually in crease the capacity of their factory to keep up the demands made upon ' them. At present they have three ! looms in their factory, one for ingrain carpels, one for rag carpets, and one for woolen Jinseys. They have just now fairly commenced operations and have turned out enough carpets and linseys to show our people what they are capable of doing. The samples exhibited yesterday consists of half a dozen patterns of ingrain carpets, one ! of rag carpeting, and a bolt of woolen j linseys, ull made throughout at their factory at the All Healing Spring. The ingrain carpets are particularly handsome, and it requires an expert ( to detect any difference between them and the Philadelphia made carpets. 1 he patterns are bright and pretty and the colors are well laid in. The rag carpet is something on the style of that made on the old country looms, but is more compactly built, more artistically woven and decidedly handsomer iu all respects. The sample of the linseys will com pare favorably with anything to be luund in a store in Charlotte, and as good an article for the money as ever brought South by oiir merchauts. More than this, it is pretty, and un less told to the contrary anyone would imagine it made in the New England mills, instead of in the un pretentious little factory in Gaston county. A merchant who examined the linseys says that it is really a su perior article and he is delighted to know that 81,0,1 a be made W v are not o only the equal of those produced by the Northern milU, but they are cheaper, and there is no earthly rea son why another order for this line of goods should be sent North by any merchant or citizan of the old North State. Here is one factory right at our door. Its work is equal to the work of any Northern loom, and it is capable of filing orders as rapidly as and as satisfactorily as any Northern firm can do. To Measure An Acre. Few farmers know the size of their fields or how many acres they contain. A field of the writer's, before it came into his possession, had been plowed and reaped by contract for fifteen acres. On measuring it. it was found to contain but twelve acres. It is desirable, in fact indispeusible for good work, that a farmer should know how many acres each field contains, for otherwise he cannot apportion seed or manure for it, nor can he tell how much time it should require to be plowed. A measuring cord should be part of the furniture on every farm. To make one procure sixty seven feet of strong rope, one inch around ; make a loop or fasten a ring or a bar at each end, and make these precisely sixty-six feet apart. This is four rods. Then tie a piece of red rag in the centre. Oue acre of ground will be a piece four of the cords long and two aud oue-half wide, equal to sixteen by ten rods, making 160 square rods to one acre. The advan tage of the ring or loop is that oue person can measure aloue by driving a stake in the ground to hold the rope while he stretches it out. The rope should be soaked in tar and dried which will prevent it from shrinking when wet. N. C Farmer. ' The Charlotte Home and Democrat says: Samuel Jeffreys, a successful planter of Onion County, has invent ed two labor-saving agricultural im plements which promise to revolu tionize old-fashioned methods of farm ing. One of these machines is a cot ton hoe, with which Mr. Jeffreys says he will be able to hoe twenty-five acres of cotton a day. It is drawn by one -horse or mule. The other machine a cotton scraper, which works six ploughs and is pulled by one mule ; in fact one mule can pull two machines. With this machine Mr. Jeffreys claims that he can work over one hundred and twenty acres of ground in ten days. These state ments seem incredible, but Mr. Jeff reys says he can prove by practical demonstration that his inventions will Clover the Best Manure. "Clover seed is the best manure a farmer can use." All plants draw much of their feed from the atmos- phere, and of those used in agricnl- Stokes, are regarded by scientists as ..... ture none are exceeded by closer in future senrces of great wealth to the I "f1 evidence is admissible to fit the' large proportion of nutriment 8tate.

M hmm to it phosphoric .cid, I potash, nitrogen aud other substances i I. e i e L rt which arc touilti in iarm crops, vl the three very important and valua ble substances just named nitrogen is the most precious and costly to tain. In various places there abundant supplies of potash phosphoric acid. As may be ob- are and said these are "in sight." Agricultural chemists are now studying on the problem of the future supply of ni trogen for agricultural purposes. So far, clover seems to be the important factor in the problem. N.C. Parmer. Barnyard manure is the natural form iu which the food elements of a crop should return to a soil. It con tains the potash, phosphoric acid and compounds of nitrogen so essential to the growth of a crop, and by put ting ou manure there is an addition of that which was substracted by the crop from which the manure was made. The crop may be fed to farm stock and a part of the plant food elements retained by the animals, but a larger per cent, of the essentials pass them, and are all the better fitt ed to act quickly when returned to the soil. Manure is put on tile soil to enrich it; this is because manure contains plant food ; therefore it is a complete manure. Superphosphates, potash salts, nitrate of soda, etc., are special manures, aud contain only a part of the essential food elements. Crops require food, aud if the soil is not alreadv rich enough it should be a O ted, because it does uot pay to grow a starved crop. The Oyster In a communica tion to the Philadelphia Medical and Surgical Journal,. Dr. Charles L. Da na, of New York, points to some pre valent errors concerning oysters. It has has been sail that the oyster, on account of its hepatic diastase, has the power of digesting itself. In a series of experiments, Dr. Dana has given the mollusk some excellent opportu nities of doing so, but it declines to digest even its own liver. As to the superior digestibility of raw oysters over cooked, it was found that when boiled for a short time, or roasted in the shell, they were nearly if not quite as rapidly dissolved as the raw. Cooking, iu fact, loosened the muscu lar fibrils, thus allowing the peptic juice to penetrate. Water for Swine. There are many farmers who think it unneces sary to give a drink of water to a pig but who consider the slop that it re ceives as ample for its needs, or that when a pig is fattening dry food only is needed and that water makes soft pork. There are many more who are- hard ly so ignorant as this, yet act precisely as though they were, and neglect to provide any water for their stock but what they can procure from pond holes or sloughs. The conse quence is disease and death. Pure water is indispensible to the health of all kinds ot stock. Hogs are Trumps. flogs arc trumps and are likely to be for years to come. Yes, he is the fellow that buys the farm, or takes off the mort gage he calls around every year no waiting on him for two or three years as with cattle, or five or six as with the horse. He comes down with the cash yearly, .pays when properly bred and cared for, better dividends than bank stock, government bonds or any other investment in propor tion to capital invested or labor ex pended.

Mod ern inventive genius is iu no art more conspicuous than in this. 1 he Beau mont Diamond Drill may be regard ed as having reduced to a minimum both time and cost in boring opera tions. It enables us to form a per fectly accurate judgment of the suc cessive strata through which it passes since it brings up a "core," as it is styled of each. In no way could n few thousand be so beneficially em ployed by the board as in th is work carried on under the superintendence of the Geologist. It cannot be doubt ed that if the existence of coal in what is called woikable quantities shall be demonstrated, the discovery would be followed by a great influx of capital and population that our State would speedily become the seat of great iron and other iudustries. A word for the Mole. Mr. Webber, one of the savnns of Zurich, Switzerland, recently exam ined the stomachs of a number of moles caught in different localities, but failed to discover therein the slightest vestige of plants or roots ; but on the contrary, they were filled with the remains of earth worms. He shut up several of these animals in a box containing earth and sod with growing gras, and a small case of grubs and earthworm. In nine days two moles devoured 341 white worms, 193 earthworms, 25 caterpil lars and a dead mouse. Fed with a mixed diet of raw meat and vegeta bles, the moles ate the meat, but did not touch the plants; and when vegetables exclusively were dealt out to them, in twenty-four hours both died of starvation. We cannot conceive what better evidence is needed of the character and habits of the mole. When lawns show the presence of many moles, we may be sure that the usurious white worm, which is very damaging to the sod, greatly abounds there, and the mole is the best agent to exter minate it. Oub Spring Proverbs. " When April blows his horn, 'tis good for both hay and corn." So runs the old proverb. -By many the backward ness of the season is regarded unfa vorably, but it is a fact that the most productive years are usually those in which the spring is cold. The fear of frost is much less among fruit growers at the present time than it would be had Match and April been warm months. There is a saying that "as many frostises iu May" are to be expected as there are "mistises in March," and as Mas both dry and cold, the proverb indicates that no frost is to be feared in May this year. There is reason to regard the pros pect for any greatcrop as unfavora ble. The outlook for fruit is espe cially good, and as to crop prospects generally, the discomfort of this chil ly weather may be somewhat allevia ted by faith in the proverb. "A cold April the barn will fill." A thoughtful uncle: Rich uncle to his physician "So you think there is hope lor me?" "Not only that, but I can assure you that you are saved.?

She was hurriedly searching thro' her porte-monnaie, but didn't seeic to find anything. "I told you I had !" And the second began a search in a wijd manner, emptying out pins, needles and buttons, but no money. "Why ! I do declare?" gasped the first. "Strangest thing I ever saw!'' add ed the second. "I'll pay for both," observed a man on the eat opposite, and he marched up, fumbled through his pockets aud held out a battered quarter to the driver. The latter would not take it, and the man marched out and slid off the platform in the most solemn manner, aud at the next crossing the ladies said they had ta ken the wrong car, rang the bell and got off. Jf. Quad. It is now not far from time for Re publican and assistant Republican papers to spring up to poison the minds of the people. The State will be flooded, next year, with this class of literature, which will be paid for and sent out by the - Republican managers. It is always in season to warn the public against a hireling press. A corrupt press, one which expresses bought opinions, one which is paid to preach certain doctrines, is an unqualified curse. The people should beware especially of mush room growths, corrupt and irrespon sible. No paper that speaks any oilier than what are known to be its honest convictions is worthy the con fidence of any honest man, A paper that is not dependent upon the people but can exist with or without their patronage is altogether untrustworthy. Landmark. A "fashion" item says : "The lo zenge shape is the most fashionable for pills, which should be coated with silver, and look very inviting."

Burgess, who killed R. M. Donley last November, was shot and killed yesterday by W. R. Cur tis, oue of the largest stock owners in Texas. At the postoffice daring the de livery of the mail, Uurgess, it is stated, shoved Curtis roaghly aside; hot words passed when Burgess tried to shoot, but Curtis was quicker aud shot Burgess, who turned aud staggered towards the door, Curtis still firing on him. Burgess took only a few steps and fell dead only two feet from where he had killed Donley. Two men were accidentally wounded but it is thought not seriously. Curtis at once surrendered to the authorities and requested an immediate trial. He sent word from the jail t the wounded men that he would pay all their expenses for time last and if permanently injured would fully provide for them. Burgess intended to kill Curtis at the shooting of Donley and is alleged to have threatened Curtis' life on severnl occasions. Public sentiment is evidently with Curtis. If the negro is entitled to educa tion, let him earn it tor hitnselt and let him children in the sweat of his own face, as falls to the lot of the white men of the State. If he can attaiu it in this way he is emit! ted to have it; but if he can get it only by taxing the white people then he is not entitled to it, should uot have it, and every white man in the State should pro test against it.

Barley is driving oats from many of the best farms in Vermont, being a first class grain to sow with grass seed, aud yielding thirty to fifty bushels per acre, worth more per bushel than corn for perk, beef, milk or butter.
