The meeting will prove of interest to every stockholder, and there will be an exhibit of the workings of the asso ciation for the first six months. It is confidently expected that the Association will be able to show a dividend for this brief time. A new series is to be opened and it is expected that a larger subscrip tion to the stock of the new series will be made, especially when the solid dividend paying basis of the first series is given to the public.

There is a perfect confidence on the part of our citizens that we are to have a reliable water supply. The Watchman predicts that it will be ready to sprinkle the It streets by next summer. A Temporary Hospital. , "How comes on the Boyden House," the reporter asked Mr. Sullivan on yes terday. "Ah, first-rate, in general, but this week we might beconsidered as running a hospital." "Why so, I was not aware of any ex traordinary sickness in Salisbury?" "There is not in the town the place is healthy enough but we have had special visitation." "Will you please explain; this " "Certainly, on last Sunday we ordered ice cream from Mr. Swicegood, across the way, and the Doctors sav our patients are suffering with ice cream poisoning." "Indeed! how many are sick?" Some fifteen in all, I think," Well, this is bad" Yes, some of the people are in bed yet." What is ice cream poisoning?" The Doctors say that when the milk Rev.

Johnson, by the recent burn ing of his two elaborate barns. The amount of the insurance paid was $1,200. The barns were exceptional for this coWry, being large ,ad carefully built. IV. S. Blaekmer, Esq., writes from Houston, Texas, as follows: "The Mexi can war is over and the weather is' hot nu there is no news." That is a brief ,way of putting it, which, no doubt, menus that business is too brisk in Hous tou to admit of "protracted expressions.'" The house of T. A.

The charge of his Honor, Judge Boy- kin, was a sensible innovation upon the old methods. He was forcible and spe cific upon statutory crimes and misde- eanors, while be pretermitted the common law offenses with bare mention. He rightfully thought that perhaps the Juries of Rowan bv this time, knew larceny, assault and battery, &c., when they come in contact with them. So he contented himself with, and endeavored to instruct these citizen guardians of the law and avoided a prolix and useless dessertation upon what thev already knew. The following cases have been dis posed of: Julius Slater, negro, for carrying con cealed weapon, judgment suspended on payment of cost. It was shown that Slater had taken this pistol from a friend who was intoxicated. This is propbably why he got off so light. Miles Boyden, negro, for retailing liquors without license, judgment sus pended on payment of cost. A satisfac- dalled on last Thursday evening and dis played to the mining editor of this paper, the most wonderful lot of gem stones ever seen in this country in fact, the cabinet collections in all the museums from Boston to New Orleans, could not produce such a collection. It is some thing that North Carolinians may ever refer to with pride ' and something to which not only Carolinians but the whole L'ni ted States may justly take pride in. On the first Monday in August was found the very KING OF HIDDENITES in a ditch, dug for prospecting purposes just a few rods south of the shaft. This king is a perfectly transparent crystal two and five-eighths of an inch long and half an inch thick at its widest and one forth of an inch at its thiuest diameter. It is entirely suitable for gems, but the last half of it (the terminal end) is of superb emerald color and much superior to the rest of the crystal. The color of the balance being more of a chrysolite than an emerald tint. Had the crystal been all of the same tint as the terminal end its value would have Jeen considera ble above a thousand dollars. Along with it were found nine ounces of chrystals of lesser size, but of deep rich color and very fine for gems. On the second Monday (9th) they were Very fortunate in locating a new emerald vein, which is situated nearer to the shaft than the Hiddenite "pocket" above described. In working dowu the vein "pinched" at about 20 feet from the sur face, but not without yielding about this point a few of the most notable emeralds ever found in the United States. Among them is the VERITABLE KING OF EMERALDS and seven of his court, all healthy and wealthy subjects, as may well be imag ined. Consider the dimensions of the king. His length is three inches; his weight eight and three-fourth ounces; his thick ness one and three-fourth inches, and his color that which wheat presents in early spring an etherial green. One may well ask, can such things come out of North Carolina? Can the United States produce such a marvelous crystal? Speaking with moderation and within bounds, this emerald crystal would be worth, if it was wholly fit for gems, the respectable sum of TWENTY THOUSAND DOLLARS or more, is tnere not, t Here tore, reas onable ground for a pardonable pride in North Carolina's resources. The whole "find" of Emerals weighed twenty and one-half ounces and it is very safe to say that no such discovery has ever been made before in the w liole of North America The money value of the lot, when cut into gems will be way up in the thous ands. Prof. Hidden says that accompanying the gem mineralds were numerous quartz rutile and mica crystals of considerable interest and beauty. Several large water crystals were found and many that were filled with crossed and meshed "needles At Reidsville, of infantile paralysis, Aug. 24th, Warren Kirk land, son of Prof. Geo.
