Mr. L. Graf of the Rowan Miniug and
Milling Company, has closed down op
erations at this miue until tbe first of
March. His plau of working the sul
phurate is by roasting. He is building a
roasting furnace with- a capacity to
handle a large amount of ore per day.
His pulverizing machinery will be equal
to 30 stamps. He is confident of success.
A subscriber informs us that Mr. J. R.
Dav is. of Blackmcr Post Office, this conn
ty, has a full blood Red Jersey stock pig,
7 mouths old, is 5 feet long, 57 inches in
girt, and will weigh 250 pounds. He is a
perfect beauty, and now this subscriber
wants to know if any other county can
beat this.
On Monday next the County Board of
Education will elect a Superintendent of
-Public Instruction for Rowan, and as this
is, we think, quite an important office,
mul one which should be filled with a
man of practical knowledge and discre
tion we take pleasure in annoucing that
1 Rev. F. J. Murdoch, of this city, has, at
the earnest solicitation of the friends of
X education, signified his willingness to
serve if elected. His election could not
niove otherwise than satisfactory, for his
abilities for making one of the most effi
cient superintendents in the State cannot
. be questioned,

On January first the thermometer in

has been very little variation from those
figures. The goldeti bell (or California
bell, as it is called,) is in bloom, and the
hyacinths and other early spring (lowers
' are nearly half grown, liarriuu the wet
weather, the fall and winter has so far
been of the most delightful diameter.
The probabilities are now that very little
cold weather will be experienced here
through the remaining winter, though the
wet season is just coming in.

Mercantile Failure. The Messrs.
Bernhardt Bros., made an assignment
last week for the benefit of their credi
tors, with Kerr Craige, Esq., as assignee.
Their store has been closed, and the bu
siness of the firm will be settled up as
speedily as assets can be converted into
available fu uds. The amounts of assets
is not jet known. Nor is it publicly
known for what amount they have failed,
though it is variously estimated at from
$25,000 to : 50.000. The claims of the
first and second class of creditors, em
bracing those who loaned them money,
amounting to $13,500 it is thought will
be paid.

A Narrow Escape. A Mr. Beaver, at
McCubbins & llai i isoii's mill, this coun
ty, last Friday met with quite a serious
accident from which hn narrowly escaped
death. He had ascended up a tree some
30 feet for the purpose of topping it.
When he had nearly cut the top off the
weight of it caused it to split and the butt,
suddenly shooting out, struck him in the
side, knocking him from his footing. In
his fall his body struck a limb causing him
to rebound like so much rubber, yet,
, strange to say, when a friend who was
near, thinking he was seriously injured
or killed, called out for some one to run
for a doctor, Mr. Beaver got up, saying,
"It isn't worth while; Pm not much hurt.1'

Hymeneal. Wednesday, the 26th of

Grove, the residence of the bride's mother,
Mis. B. S. Krider, iu Mt. Ulla township,
to witness the solemn ceremony which
joined in the blessed connubial tie two
brave young hearts. At 7, P. M., the
The Leap Year entertainment given
by the young ladies or Salisbury at the
V m SkM m-m mm mum m
residence ot Mr. M. L.. Holmes, was a
striking success. To our hostess we
young men and maidens acknowledge an
overwhelming debt of hospitality which
has Accumulated with the years. To the
ladies who devised and consummated
affairs words fail ns in the attempt to
express our thanks; This much we may
say, without indulging in commonplace
sentimentalities upon dress, lights, beau
ty and smiles, that never was a new year
served up to a more charmed and charm
ing circle than that which formed be
neath the chandelier on the occasion of
which we have written. As a climax of

wish that when the infant year has grown

The Public Roads.
Jfr. Editor :
There is not a more responsible position
than that of an Overseer on the Public
Beads, because, uot ouly the convenience
but the safety of the entire community
depend upon the faithful performance
of their duties, iu keeping the roads iu
the condition required by law. Aud yet,
there is no class of our public servants
who are less informed of their duties
thau they. We will veutuie the asser
tion, that not one iu ten of them, ever
saw the road law, aud uever know anv-
thiny about their duties, except what
they learn from hearsay. This being the
case, we deem it highly important, that
they be placed iu possession of the law
nei taming to their duties, to the end,
that they may be iufermedof their duties
aud then we might reasonably expect to
see our roads in better condition
All school committeemen are furnished
with a copy of the school laws. There is
as much or more responsibility resting
upou Overseers, as upon them. 1 hen
why not furnish Overseers with the road
laws f
" 1 would suggest to our Comity Com
missioners, that they ascertain, as nearly
as piaci icable, the number of road Over
seers iu our county, and have a sufficient
number of copies of the road law printed,
to furnish each overseer with a copy.
These could be placed in the hands of
the various Supervisors, who could place
them iu the bauds of the Overseers of
their townships, to be returned at the
expiration of the terms of their appoint
ments, and lie turned over to the new
overseers. It would only cost a few
dollars to do this, aud would certainly
result iu much good. Besides, overseers
are hiirhl.v responsible, and it seems to
me to be wrong to punish a man for the
violation of a law of which he is wholly
ignorant, or of which he has uever had
the means of informing himself. We
respectfully submit the above to our
worthy County Commissioners, invoking
their favorable consideration of the
same. Very Respectfully,
W. R. Frai.kv.

T. K. Brunei; Esq :
Mg Dear Sir : 1 have seen the publi
cation of my letter to you, in your issue
of the 20th. There aie several typo
graphical errors in the same on the
12th line, the word "attention," should
be attrition, and on the 28th Hue, the
word "flow," should be flour.
In reading your remarks, at the foot of
the article, 1 would state iu explanation
that, my process iu redaction, consists in
simply destroying the foreign matter, en
veloping the particles of gold, rendering
them ''free," and susceptible of the ac
tiou of quicksilver. Of tbe many methods
proposed for this purpose, 1 found by
actual work, the cost too great, and the
manipulation, too diversified, hence my
aim was to produce tne result ai me
minimum of cost, at the same time, com
bining sirapleness in handling. To give
those interested a better idea of the op
eration, I give you an outline of what I
claim in this process of reduction. The
ore being crushed by whatever'appliauce
used, is passed over the plates or
tables, the free gold collected in the
usual way, the "sulphides" are to pass
off on to the concentrators, aud thus
transmuted into rich concentrates, these
in turn iro into my furnace, and in said
furnace tbe gas is generated, which total
ly destroys the sulphur, iron etc, leaving
the gold "free," aud in a perfect state for
its amalgamation, by a plain process
direct from the furnace. I am aware of
the many "processes," advanced aud
tried, that have proved failures have
seeu many of these myself, hence 1 have
been very careful in demonstrating the
process to inrselt as others -in no one
instance have I failed, aud ores from
which, but one to two dollars are extrac
ted by ordinary milling, have produced
me, fourteen dollars per ton.
I am about arranging to put tbe pro
cess into a construction company, and
through this company, introduce it into
sections, where sulphide ores aie numer
ous. The method is a perfect success,
aud while I do uot claim anything mar
velous in the matter, I do claim to he
able to reduce these "sulphides," by not
only a very simple aud radical mode of
treatment, but a comparatively inexpen
sive mauner. I should like your mining
men iu North Carolina, to drop me a line,
informing roe, of the capabilities of their
miues, aud the reduction plant at their
disposal, and as soon as I a in in shape, I
will be glad to go further into tbe matter
with them. Very Truly Yours,
Robt. T. Allen,

The Vi rginia State Music Teachers
Association.
Much intercut has been manifested in
the above organization, as was shown at
the meeting held yesterday at Hoi com be

in our Colleges," which was delivered iu
a clear aud emphatic manner, and elici
ted the most favorable comment. The

aud showed a thorough understanding of
the subject in hand. A vote of thanks
was tendered the speaker. .
Following the reading, Dr. Langhorn

orgau recital at the Second Prcsnyteriau

result, quite a large audience was present.
I he concert was thoroughly enjoyable.
i rot. Chandler hatiiliiiiu the organ iu a
masterly manner. The programme was
a fine one, aud was well rendered
throughout, bis playing eliciting great
admiration. During the course of the
eveuing a pallet prepared by Prof. Hahr
was read by Mr. i . R. Webb, and con
tained many good points of luteiest to
all. Lynchburg Newt.

- Unless our memory is at fault, about
September 15th, 1 602, Abraham Lincoln
in a public speech delivered to the ne
groes at Washington, told them plainl,
that the United States was a white man's
country and that if they should be freed,
they could not hope or expect to remain
in this country. He said they would have
to emigrate to some other country-.
Abraham Lincoln was iu some respects a
wise man ; but he did not reflect that the
time would come when the Southern
whites would staud ready to befriend the
rays.
