He is a lectur er of fine reputation and all will have an intellectual treat. The ladies are to be out in full force. Large audiences are expected. One of Salisbury's tobacco drummers who has just returned from an extended trip through Western North Carolina and the principal towns and cities in east Tennessee, says for genuine thrift and "go-ahead-ative-nessT7' Kuoxville, Tenn. lays over all other places in the near west. Aa Old Corner Stone. S In removing the foundation under an old residence on Iunis. and between Church and Main Streets, a broad flat rock, lying immediately under the sill at the north corner, excited some curiosity. On its surface tbe following inscription was found rudelv chiseled: "M. K. & F. B 1778." The masonic square, com pass and cross keys were traced under the date. This is undoubtedly a corner stone, and it is not improbable that it was laid with ceremonies in which masons took part. It is of interest as it probaly marks the date of the building of that old house. Salisbury has age, but there remain but few evidences to link us with the past. Most of the earlier structures Were of wood and have long since served their turn and passed from sight and memory. Blowing Rock Chapel. Members of Concord Presbytery hav ing found an opening at Blowing Rock for religious effort, have been interesting themselves to fill it. They have under taken the building of a chapel there, and liberal contributions have been raised here and elsewhere to accomplish the work. A letter from a gentleman at Lenoir, who recently visited Blowing Rock in the interest of the enterprise, states that contracts have been let for the lumber, shingles, and some of the preparatory work; and that the erection of the building will be commenced about the 1st of May if not sooner. It is ex pected to finish it about the 1st of July, in time to meet the requirements of the jnariy summer tourists who usually visit that charming part of odr mountain country'. New Hotel at Icar d. Meroney & Brother have just given the eontraet for the erection of a large hotel at Icard, on the Western Jforth Carolina Railroad. The attraction is a splendid mineral spring, which has won the name of being one of the best in the State. The Hotel is to be 120x43 feet, 3-stories, tower, etc. Mr John A Ramsay has finished the design and also the map with specifi cations for the builders and has gone up to begin work. - The Hotel is to be finish ed by the first of June. The water has proven very beneficial to a large class of sufferers, and visitors have the pleasing prospect of having a comfortable and commodious hotel, run with modern con veniences, at an .early day, Mr. Thos. J. Meroney, who has been in poor health for several years, found the water so val uable that he bought the place and is now fitting it up so that others may enjoy its benefits, together with a pute and healthful climate. - . Circle Tracking Wagon. The teamster and the farmer will hail with delight a wagon with which they can miss a stump or a fence corner. Such a wagon is made by the enterprising and reliable Piedmont Wagon Company, at Hickory, X. C. The wagon is especially adapted to farm work, being just the thing for new grounds and f9r country roads through the woods. It is so con structed that the hind wheels track ex actly with the fore wheels, and it is im possible to strike an object with the hind, whieh was missed by the fore wheels. It is sold for about the same price as the ordinary wagon ,'ovier which it has many advantages. Mr. J. A. Boyden, Agent of the Piedmont Company, has the wagon on exhibition at his warerooms, next to the Boyden House entrance, and is au thorized to offer a dollar reward to the driver who will hit a stump with the rear, after missing with the fore wheels. Town Affairs. It has not in all probability, occurred to many of our townspeople, to look at the condition of the town, from a public spirited stand point. It is a pleasure to note that the town is frete from all man ner of contageous disease ; there is less drunkeness and disorderly conduct than usual; the streets are in better repair and the town finances are in a healthy condition. The present officers, Mayor and commissioners, have done, more and better work on the streets than usual, and they have in addition, spent more for improvements, and met unusual, or outside expenses to a large amount, as follows: Refunded old beef taxes,- about $ 400 Building addition to Graded school 900 Balance of principal On Morrison judg- raent 335 Building aDd fitting station hou;e Buying Hose & repairing fire engines 325 400 $ 2,360 Remember that this amount has been paid in settlement of unusual claims. This year it is proposed to exercise the strictest economy and devote the money ac mulated to providing cisterns for use in time of fire. Mayor Neave thinks this can be done without increasing the taxes, and he and the commissioners propose to make the effort. Alll this is encouraging, and shows that the a flairs of the town are in good and satisfactory condition. It reflects credit on the gentlemen who have undertaken and accomplished so mucn. Incendiary Fire. Tobias Lyerly, living about six miles from town, east of the Gold Hill road but in sight of It, was made the victim of malice, Sunday night last, by some mis creant, who set fire to his barn. Tbe fire extended by outbuildings until it reached and destroyed his dwelling house, and every other building on the place. His two mules and six cows were also destroyed, making, with tbe excep tion of a few household effects which were gotten out of his dwelling, a clean sweep of his personal property. Tracks of a person were found near the place leading in the direction of the barn, as if made by one while walking. The same tracks were found in another place leading from the barn, which seem to have been made by some one running. They were barefoot tracks, and may yet lead to some important discovery. Mr. Lyerly is a worthy farmer in ordi nary circumstances, and entitled to the active sympathy of his neighbors and friends. It seldom happens that a man loses everything by fire, as in this case. And the misfortune falls upon him at a time of year when all his time is needed in pitching the next year's crop A blood hound was turned loose on the tracks seen about the barn and has traced them to a well known man's dwelling The man thus identified disclaims any i . i c ii I . . . .uuwieuge oi tne ourning. uis name is withheld for the present. The owner of the dog, Mr. Murr, of Concord, has dem onstrated the accuracy of the dog's nose, by sending out members of the searching party. One of them was found and "treed" by the dog, some mile and a half from the starting point. The case has caused much indignation both on the spot and in town The Prohibition Organization. The voters of this county will be inter ested to know that there is now a new party claiming their suffrages. The Pro hibition party was organized here last Saturday. Mr. Edwin Shaver was chair man, and Rev. R.AVT Boyd, Secretary. There were less than a dozen actively in terested persons present, and pre-eminently above them all was Thos. P. John ston, who may be termed the speaking member of the new phrty. The reporter failed to enumerate the consective speech es he made, though 17 will not miss the number far. Five townships were repre sented, and in each a Committee of one was appointed. Mr.-Johnston said, among a great many other things, that he want ed every man pointing toward the spareely filled negro side of the house who felt in his heart that prohibition was right, to consider himself a delegate, full, free, and welcomed. The chairman made Mr. Johnston the committeeman for Sal isbury township, when he arose for the say 13th time--and asked to have Mr. a negro, associated with him in the performance of the duties his appoint ment imposed. He proceeded to eulogize the aforesajkl negro as an orator, reach ing the climax by pronouncing him a "mnokinkr bird." 'N'ow th voters nf pftowan mav expect to be appealed to bv this happy pair. Mr. Johnston and his mocking bird either caged or at liberty will do the work. The greatest obstacle in their way will be encountered when they attempt to persuade voters to sever former political relations, throw principle to the winds and vote for this third party. There, are many prohibition, or temper ance people in this count y, but they are too well fixed in their political notions to surrender them to Mr. Johnston, or his silver tongued singer. Imagine the fun of a campaign conducted by Mr. Johnston and his feathered music box. If a banjo were added as an accompaniment, the effect would be novel, and it would draw large crowds. Truly, music hath power, but it is doubtful if this combination will prove effective in making votes for the already badly left cause of prohibition. But seriously there is no doubt in the minds of astute politicians as to the milk in this cocoanut.. This untimely in troduction of a long since played-out is sue means more than the "wild prating of a prohibition fanatic." The devotees to this third party simply make them selves cat's paws in the hands of the now thoroughly desperate and disheartened Republican office seekers. They hope by this means to dim the lustre of the ascending Democratic star. Will they succeed? Let its hope not. But to go on with the organization meeting; Mr. Shaver introduced a Rev. Mr. Steele from Greens boro, as orator of the occasion. He was a plausible talker and a good Republi can. We have neither time nor inclina tion to review his speech. It is not necessary to say that the Watchman is in favor of temperance, it has always been on that side, but when a set of men step up and ask us to Surrender all political principles and to abjure party ties, we draw the line.

L MINING DEPARTMENT. T. K. BRUXER, EDITOR. ShufcrdMin?. Supt. jHyser, of the Shuford mine, in Catawba county, was here this week and showed us the diagrams he has just com pleted of the net work of veins on the old Shuford Hill. The drawing shows the inclination and dip of the vein mat ter and? the probable point of juncture. There ae eleven defined veins, three dip ping to he northwest, two perpendicular and six to the southeast. He shows that they must come together between 130 and 200 feetf. The last work done was the driving jjof a tunnel from shaft 66, 257 feet, north 47 degrees west. In this work Mr. Hyser accomplished the rather diffi cult feajt of cutting a tunnel more than 200 feetJ without an air shaft. This was done bjf the use of acids, and Mr Hyser gives the process to the . mining men of this State. It w as accompl ished by the use of aqua ammonia, thrown through a large syjinge ahead as the miners advan ced into the tunnel. A saturate solution of coneras was also used, being thrown around jjthc timbers. When the atmos phere off the tunnel, no matter how foul, was treated in this manner, it became perfectly pure. Starting into the tunnel, should bad air be encountered, and the light go lout, the ammonia is thrown for ward, tbje lamp relighted and the work man proceeds, repeating the operation when it; becomes necessary. The lights become exceeding brilliant, and are said to remind one of electric light when the air has ijeen thus purified. Well diggers, cleanere! &c, may take a hint from the abovfe.

Mr. Julian was born in April, 1800; and was therefore eighty x years old. He was well known in this county and also in Iredell, where he lived! many years. He resided in this vicinity 1 the last forty years of his life. He was a farmer and retained consider able strength up to the time of his last illness; and having been accustomed to active okt-door labors all his life, was fre quently! seen in town, mixing with-people, and taking active interest Tn the sub jects engaging popular "concern. Re spected, by all who knew him, reverenced by his children, and grand children, the memory of John Julian will linger for many years in honor of him Whose life was onjfe continued scene of duties well perfonried, Another. Abraham Masters, of Mt. Ulla town ship, died at the residence of his son, Geo. A. Matters, April 1st, after eight days confineinent to his bed, aged 85 years. He complained of no pain or suffering during Kis confinement, but seemed com pletely ; worn out, and passed away like the fading of light when day is done. DIED. Atbife residence in this place, Thurs day night, 8th inst., Mr. Remus J. West, aged arjout 73 years. The deceased was a native of this town, and wifth the exception of two or three years p Asheboro, N. C, and a few in Davidson county, his whole life was spent here. He learned the printing business in the' office of the '"Western Carolinian"' while it was owned by the late Hon. Burton Craige; and while liv ing in Ashboro, was printing "Swaims Man of Business. " But he gave up print ing eaHy in life and never returned to it. He was a pupil in the school of the late Rev. Jesse Rankin, in 1827-'28, some of his fellow pupils being Dr. Albert T. Potve, the late Henry and Tobias Lemlyj the late David and Jos Pool; the late Obadiah-Woodson, and others. He was a man of keen perception, good busi ness qualifications and generally success ful. Though not indifferent to them he took small part in public affairs, of which,; however, he had a correct appre heusion, and uniformly aligned with the supporters of law and order. His depar ture cteates a void in the community which I will be most felt by those who knew I him longest and best. Mr. West married the widow of Fielding Slater,; and by this marriage had four children born to him, three of whom, two daughters and one son, are still living, to cherish his memory with filial devo tion.

This machine is a combination of silver plates so as to represent a large amalga mating surface, working with rapidity and efficacy, Which has not hitherto been accom plished. The drawing above represents the machine in working position. It consists of four corrugated plates, fitted together; allowiug a space between of I inch. Tw plates are perpendicular, connecting with two horizontally inclined. The pulp passes from the battery and fidla perpendicularly through the plates, which gives it a zigzag motion, causing the free gold to impinge on eaehside, when it pastes through the horozontally inclined plates, which act as riffles, catching any escaped gold both on top and bottom. The phitcs discharge in a circular pan at the end! which is given a rotary motion, thus concentrating the heavier portion of the tailings for subsequent treatment if necessary. At the top of the machine i a mercury c up which feeds automatically any required mei-cury to keep the plates inactiveorfe. This machine is especially adapted for plncer mines. It caa lie worked with or without water; it requires no mill for pulverization. -it only being necessary to sift the sand, which ca'i be done at a trifling cost, so that low grade ore can be worked profits bly. This ms'.diine has been practically tested attd-is now on hc Herrin mine, Randolph county, where it met with such sueccs a to w arrant the belief that it will , be of geeat value to the mining interest of this State. This machine has an electrical attachment by which tire mercury, should it W iek ened by the vcrioos causes to which it s liable, ran be instantly restored 1o activity. Inspection it,' invited.
