Mowery Accidentally Killed. The towrn was startled on yesterday to hear of the sad deah of Mr. Thos. A. Mowery. He was hunting on the Achen- back farm near town, yesterday; in com pany with Mr. Chas. Holmes and a Mr. Nail, and while these two men were try ing to get a rabbit from an old dead tree, Mowery was loading his gun. It seems he was standing on an incline and that he slipped and fclV the fall discharging the gun. The load took effect in his left underjaw, tearing it completely away, and ranging toward the top of his head He fell dead not a breath was drawn after the fall. Mr. Mowery was a native of this town, aged about 24 years, and has been a dray man all his life. He leaves a wife and child bereft of husband and father. This is a sad affair and comes as a solemn warninc to the living in the midst of life we are in death.- ".J Old Hickory Club. , On last Monday evening the annual meetinc was held in the parlor of the Club.

It was the drilling of sixteen young ladies. They had been under the guid ing hand of Cant. Theo. Parker, an excellent drill master, for several days, and appeared on their first dress parade on that evening. At a given signal they filed out to the center of the hall and stood in line, ''chins up and eyes to the front," looking as brave and determined as any commander could wish. A wave of sweet musical sounds floated from the rank as they' counted one, two, three, four, 'etc. Then all was silence. Sixteen irirls all silent and still ? Yes, ani more ; they were obliged to listen to ie maa ! He soon spoke "Right by fours, march !'' and they moved as one man, or rather, as one woman. It was the poetry of motion so exclaimed (more than) sixteen gallants, who gazed with manifest admiration at the line. - It was a pretty line decidedlythe prettiest ever seen here and the "sweet sixteen" executed the manual of arms with graceful dexterity. on Friday evening-, bpow was falling in the earlier hours, which prevented many from at tending, bat notwithstanding a large assembly waa present to witness and enjoy this festive oc casion. At ten oclock the merry dancers In their many hued costumes appeared, and in spired by the sweet strains of a march prome naded the brilliantly lighted hall. This being ended, the dancing began, and progressed in regular order with nothing to mar the pleasure of the evening, jit would be a pleasure to de scribe minutely the many costly and elegant costumes worn on this occasion, but onr epace is too limited for such extensive notice. Most of the toilets Were becominfrlv aDDrouriate. t w - a l 1 1 and many of the characters personated admira bly conceived and executed. Let imagination picture them as the reader scans the list : Miss Mamie McNeely Night black dress il luminated with golden crescent and stars, forming a bright feature in this social horizon. Miss Minnie Scales Aurora an airy cos tume of piak and white bespangled with stars, and so charmingly enhancing the ethereal ap pearance of the Wearer as to convince the gay chevaliers that "the spirit of morning was whispering hope."1 Miss Carrie Fjreer Evening Star a white dress over which a large, resplendent star was worn in her cloudi-like tresses, and myriads of lesser ones supplementing her costume, shed thin, silvery light.) Miss Bessie Kerri Snn Maid was attired in white, and over hejr dress and around her head gleamed a unique Representation of sunshine Miss Nellie Holmes White Rabbit dress of soft, white goods, (white turban and slippers. decorated with the heads of the little anima the costume was decerned to represent. This c; costume was very accurate in all its details. Miss Bessie Nefly Spanish Lady so per fectlv represented as to induce a young gentle man to address her in Spanish. Miss Mamie Mocki Snow Queen a very el egant, graceful costume, trimmed with swan's down. 1 Miss Lottie Mockr-Di Vernon silk hat and very becoming riding habit. Miss, Shober- Persian Princess a very hand some and elaborate oriental costume, strikingly becoming to the lovely wearer.

Miss Sudie Murphy Watteau Shepherdess a lovely costume of pink and blue, beautifully decorated with exquisite cglentine roses greatly admired. Miss Carrie Crawford Flora McFlimsy elaborately dressed a fine suggestion of "Noth ing to wear.'' Miss Annie Bingham Silver Spray wore a sheer white dress and wincrs over which the silver snrajr was artisticallv visible. The cos tume harmonized with her sweet, fresh face. Miss Pauline Parker Evangeline a short skirt of striped blue and white, over-dress of light blue, blouse of white linen with high neck and lonir sleeves, bodice of blue like skirt, and cross, rosary and Norman cap becoming and well chosen charatcr. Miss Emma Councill Forest Queen dres of green and white garnished with parti-tinted autumn leaves, necklace and bracelets of gild ed acorns, crown of acorns and leaves, and a basket of ferns and autumn leaves. As a child of nature she played her part well. The following gentlemen appeared in fancy dress some very elegant and tasty costumes among them : Theo. B. Brown, Chevalier, court of Charles IX. Ferrand Haughton, Uncle Sam. A. C Harris, Chevalier, of Louis XIV. John Boyden, Irishman. Tarn McNeely, Mr. Tony Lumpkin. W. C. Lindsayf George Washington. Ed. Young, Troubadour.

Besides those in fancy dress, there were s large number of ladies and gentlemen in even ing dress, and a number of visitors, among them Miss Maggie Merrimon, of Raleigh, Mr Schenck, of Greensboro, and Mr. Witherspoon, of Statesville. This ball closes the season, and a gay and happy one it has been to the young people The Pleasure Club, composed of the best young men of the place, has certainly done the hand some thing for the social circle of the commun ity, and too much praise cannot be given them for their generosity in this particular.

The more prominent commit tees which have the most important work to do are strong. v ith each Congress tne tasK oi organ izing the House is becoming a more deli cate and burdensome one. The question has been raised whether the labor should any longer be thrown upon one man. Both branches of Congress are now ready for real work, any amount of which is waiting for them. It is thought the session will continue until August. About three thousand bills have been presented in the House alone. Among those that have been introduced in the Senate is one demanding longer sessions of Con gress, so that tiie country can have more work for the same money. The sessions ought to be continuous, with only such short recesses as other business men take from their labors. The pay of the Con gressmen goes on whether they are in session or not. While it is a very agreea ble arrangement to them for Congress to sit only ten or eleven months out of the twenty-four, public business sutlers from neglect. The list of bills with which Congress is flooded furnishes undeniable proof of American inventive genius. No possi ble subject of legislation has been slight ed. Among them are many old-timers that come up and die out with every new Congress. One bill asks that for the re mainder of her life the widowuf Gen. Grant may correspond with her friends and her friends with her without paying postage. The most popular measure is one for the establishment of Agricultural Experiment Stations. Nearly all the members from rural districts have intro duced it in one form or another. About a dozen Civil Service bills have been pre sented and a new bill asks for the estab- ishment of a National University here. It provides instruction in the higher branches of all departments of knowledge. with facilities for research and investiga- tion. space ioroids me to give the full terms of the bill, but I will mention that the government of the institution is to be vested in a board of Regents consisting of one member from each state of the Union, to be appointed by the Governor.

These scholarships shall secure free instruction for five years i he Republicans in both branches of Congress are after the Pension Office and the Senate has passed a resolution for an investigation of its management, past and present.

In substance it is. fchat fif teen year ago Henley (or Hearn aoJie must now be called) was a printer at f anpahan nock, in the employment of J. L Cannon, editor of the Essex Gazette. Tlere he fell iu love with a pretty school gisl and from this Bim pie and quite ordinary beginning all his future troubles dated,, he claimes. In 1874 a dark cloud came between the girl and himself and he rtttempttd, to commiit suicide. He had a rival an es-Union officer, and sought totorcf; him infca.duel or even a street hght. For two moatha he kept the town in a siato qi turmoi. T.hi aroused the indignation of the pcaplo and all his friends save onf deserted him. Finally their anger abated, but he kept them at a distance. He became disgusted at what he terms his own folly and decided to leave the place forever. In October, 1874, he left lappahannock for Baltimore, and there assumed the name S.
