The ipirit of the American youth is vigorous here, and it was the fate of a very fresh juryman, attending court here, to fall into their hands. They went snipe hunt ing. and the juryinau preferred holding the bag while the boys drove the birds I ,m .a - mey set mm on the marshy banks ot a I branch something like a mile from town, and told him to wait till thev drove the birds in. He waited. Next morning the I boys found him and appeared indignant that he should have left his post after their. hard nights work of driving birds The juryman explained that he sot there till a dog come and barked at him ; that Hie shooed the dos off for fear he would scare the birds, and that after awhile a man came with a cun and wanted to mow what ho was doing ho ox plained the object, as Jjeing suipe hunt ing, when the man told him to git, "and i I gt, but I would'ut uf left vou fellers. if this man had'ut er run me off his land."

But the kind of mischief done iu this town last Friday night and a night or two before, is not new. We are re minded that similar mischief was done here by some young men nearly 40 years ago, aud remember the persons who were engaged in it. If that were all it would amount to nothing, but it is not It is al so remembered that not one of those young men ever came to any good, t onj years will generally tell the story of a man's career; and they who are working wick eduess at 16, 18 and 20 years without a change, are apt to run a short and disa- trous race.

T. K. BRUiiER, MANAGER. Work has been resumed at the Gold Knob mines, ten milee south east from Salisbury. Mr. Williams is sinking the Johnston Shaft. A 5 stamp mill is running at the Rocky River mine in Cabarrus county. But little mining is going on in Mont gomery county as a rule work has been suspended until spring opens. Work will be resumed at the Coggins mine this week the gold from this mine is fine, and is f 1.02 per dwt. At the Russell work is progressing, and said to be satisfactory. Some few hands are at work in the Adelaide mine, but with poor success. New Mica Mine. Mr. A. B. Gillespie, of States ville, N. C, reports a new de posit of Mica iu Wilkes county, on Rod dies River, and on the eastern slope of the Blue Ridge. The property consists of about 100 acres, on which two veins of mica have been discovered. The vein exposed at the depth of ten feet yields mica of varioas sizes, from 2x2 inches to 5x6 inches, and is clear. 25 pounds of marketable mica was taken out at this shallow depth. These two veius run ning N. E. & S. W., will converge and form one vein from which larger sheets may be cut, at a depth of less than 40 feet. Rocky River Mine. Fire stamps of the new teu stamp mill was started on a test r un at this mine last Thursday with prospects of a success. It is encouraging to state that this new ten stamp mill was made iu Char lotte at the Mecklenburg Iron Works, is a fine piece of workmanship and takes the place of the "Taskei" pulverizer which has been removed. It is now expected that with the grade and quality of the ores ou Rocky River that it will soon be classed as anothri paying mine of North Carolina. fear we might need it some time for borne use will hold on to it for the present.

At Lum- berton this week, a little negro boy was arraigned before the court on the charge of rocking a train on tho Carolina Central road. He was found guilty of the charge but on account of his youth, the judce suspended judgment on condition that the boy should receive a sound thrashing from his mother. The old lady seemed glad of tbe chance, and leading her son out into the court yard, got a buueh ot hickories and began laying it on. She dusted the boy at such a terrible rate that the court was compelled to send the sheriff out and make her desist, or alio might have whaled him to death. The zeal with which the woman carried out her promise to tho court was gteatly en joyed by all except the boy. Char. Ob server. Rough Treatment. That was a strange miscarriage of justice in Colum bia, Lancaster county, by which three unoffending immigrants, ignorant of Eng lish, with money in their pockets, in search of work and a lodging place for the night, were arrested by the officer from whom they sought information, locked up for five days in jail and thrown into the company of a number of tramps, by whom the immigrants were robbed of both clothing and money. The complaint which one of the robbed men made when finally he was released from confinement, instead of ending his troubles, buly in creased them. The three immigrants were at once locked ap in prison, whore they were confined for more than a month. At last the criminals have been tried and sentenced, aud the immigrants have been turned out of jail without a dollar. MARRIED. At Bear Poplar, Steele township, Row ad county, N.

The facts appear to be about as follows : The uegro watchman was away from the mine, aud left a small boy in charge. About dusk, those living on the property, and near to the mine, saw that the mill bouse was on fire, and by tbe time they reached the spot the flames were lieyoud control. The machin ery destroyed was a 30 horse power boiler, (which may be repaired 60 as to be of some service) a hoisting engine, six jiging pans, aud the accompanying seives, a large crusher, (not greatly damaged) two sets of Brndson's concentrating Rolls, and all the smaller appliauces, the loss iu machinery amounting to about $30, 000. Tbe mill house and house over shaft No. 2 was destroyed, of course. It is thought that the burning is the work of an incendiary. It is a matter of Con jecture however, as no cause cau be found, and none existed within tho knowledge of any one connected with the property here. Some have thought that it was-a petty jealousy on tho part of some because a white watchman was not employed. This is not credited in the neighborhood. The people iu the inline diate vicinity are mdiguuut at such a bu cures tion. The property is believed to DU a have been folly insured. The manage ment it is understood intended to make a change in the plant iu tho near future, aad it is hoped that their misfortune may not effect that intention. The Discoverer of the Tin Ore. An Enormous Ice C uor. The ice crop on the Hudson this year will be the lar gest ever harvested, and the prospect is that it will all be securely housed within ten days. Tho crop in 1881 was 2,500, 000 tons; iu 1882, 2,000,000 tons, and in 1883, 3,000,000 tons. This wiutor the crop will reach 3,500,000 tons on the ac count of the different companies, and pri vate parties will house all of 200,000 tons additional, making a grand total of 3,700, 000 tons. The ice is represented to be of splendid quality, clear as plate glass, with a frosting of only two or three inches of snow, leaving from 12 to 16 inches of hard, good ice, and therefore the waste will naturally be very slight.
