It is made up from the letter recent ly published from the pen of Dr. Rumple, w hich is too fresh in the minds of the public to enable you to deceive them. Dr. E. M. Summcrell was, at the last meeting of the nirectors of the 'Western N. C. Insane Asylum, unanimously re elected assistant physician for the next tun vpiirs. This is a compliment to our townsman, and a deserved one; for he is exceptionally well qualified in his pro fession. We are under obligations to friends in this and adioinintr counties for letters relating the occurrence of the earthquake, but they need not be published, as the subject has been fairly mentioned in the press. We appreciate their kindness in the matter all the same. The citizens of Salisbury may look forward to the pleasure of a, genuine treat during the coming season. The manager of "Mendelssohn Quintette Club" of Boston, has notified the Watchman of their intention to pay Salisbury a visit this season. Thos. Ryan, one of the original founders of the club is still with them He is well remembered here. They may depend on an audience. The ladies of Raleigh have organized a "Shotwell Memorial Bazaar," which will be kept onen during the State fair. The ladies of Salisbury are invited to con tributes articles for sale, the money to be used in the Shot well monument fund All small or fancv articles the work of the ladies will be acceptable. Such gifts may be left with Mr. C. R. Barker, at Kluttz & Co's. drug store. The large attendance at the opening of the Graded School last week is very gratifying to those who were the projec tors of the school. They were confront ed in the out set by opposition from some of theolid citizens of the town. The results so far have been of such nature as to reverse the opinions of those who "pposeu it, and most ot them are now numbered among the school's staunchest mends. The school has proved one of the greatest blessings the town has ever had bestowed on it, in that it accom plishes so much good to such a large number of citizens. 'ri. . . . - - . Ae eartnquake at uoict Hill was a frightful affair from accounts. The peo ple on top thought that the mines 785 feet deepwere sinking or caving in. The families of the large number of men under ground were frantic. But in about , we mmutes the force was out and safe , was the quickest time on record. The 'buck was felt in all the levels from the p i to the 700 foot, except in the 600 iney were warned and came to the nwrjace with the rest. Personal Mention. Mix? Norfljet is the guest aoi Mrs. A.

D., delivered his two lectures on China and Japan in the Presbyterian church on last Sunday to large audiences. They were both interesting and instructive and were nignjy appreciated by tnose wno were fortunate enough to hear them. At night tthc church was filled to its capacity and the speaker warmed by the evident inter est did even better than usual. The congregation was made up of Chris tians from all the churches in town. After the lecture the friends of Dr. Davis crowded around him to say farewell and wish him God speed and a safe journey back to the field of his labor. He left on Monday, going first to Springfield, Ohio, where he and his wife will spend ten days with her relatives, thence to El Dorado, Kansas, where they will remain on a like mission until the middle of October, when they will go to San Fran cisco. and sail for China, Dr. Davis will probably be absent ten years before rc turning. XJn last Thursday night there was a meeting of citizens in the Mayor's office for the purpose of inaugurating means for aiding the Charleston sufferers. May or E. B. Neave was requested to act as chairman and T. K. Bruuer, Secretary. It was astertained that under the law no town money could be appropriated from the treasury for any purpose not specified. 4 The city attorney gave this opinion which was accepted. On motion of Kerr Craige. Esq., a committee of three, on each of the great wards of the town, was appointed for the purpose of soliciting aid for the Charleston sufferers. On motion a negro was appointed in each ward to canvass among the blacks for the same purpose. On last Monday even ing the Mayor forwarded to the Mayor of Chrleston the sum of $233.50. Of this amount $9.7 was subscribed by the blacks, and the remainder by the white population of Salisbury. More money will probably be raised for this pur pose. Mayor Neave has received an acknowl edgement of the Salisbury contribution from Wm. A. Courtenay. Mayor of Charleston. Those who desire to con tribute to this cause may leave donations with May or Neave, who will take pleas ure forwarding them. - Accidental Drowning.

Coroner Atwell was notified and went down, but found noth ing of a suspicious nature and ordered the body buried. It seems that the wo man was out of her mind. She had spent four orUvje days in the woods, where she had made beds of leaves and twigs,aud had torn parts of her clothing off and used theffragments in lining the beds. The sunnosition is that she had wander ed to the branch to drink, and fell face foremost in the water and strength to get out. 5 ... ... had not the Mission Party The ladies of the Presbyterian church will irive an entertainment in the house CD receivtly used as the offices of the West era N. C. Railroad, on Friday evening the 17th inst, for the benefit of the Chinese Mission. The beautiful lawn in front will be used as a promenade, while tables filled with refreshment will be set inside. Ice cream and cakes for the vnunff. and for the old who have a "sweet tooth," and substantial salads for the gentlemen. All are cordially invited to be present and spend an evening of social enjoyment, and in that way contribute a mite to the great work which so deep lv interests the earnest workers in the -j church. Don't imagine that it is exclu sively a young folks party or an old folks party all are invited to join in an evening of pleasant social intercourse. Wmk bf lrfMrun on Grants' Creek. It i.5 to be cleared of logs and. brush, and lerhaj :traightened. Bad Behavior. The conduct of two young men, during the progress of the germane on Tuesday night cannot be too .severely criticized. It was a reflection on themselves and the young men of the town, and very disre spectful to the ladies present. The parent of young ladies will hardly allow them to attend dances in foture without some assurance that the disgraceful con duct will not be repeated. It js a. common remark on the streets that in addition to the profanity indulg ed in, a pistol was exhibited, and that it was actually discharged, by accident or otherwise. The affair is a very serious one and involves grave questions for evey parent represented there. That such a scene could have occurred at a social gathering of the young people of the town is amazing. It was disgraceful in the extreme and cannot be simply apolo gized for. In calling attention to this deplorable occurrence the Watchman is only doing its duty to the citizens of Id mil in that were this matter passed over lightly, y Farewell Party. On last Monday evening the members of the Old Hickory Club gave Mai. G. P Erwin, who has been President of the Club since its organization, a farewell party. The rooms were decorated, and a long table, spread with faultless linen, stood in the center of the main parlor. It was decorated with floral monagrams and other designs. The. F. Kluttz, Esq., presided, and in behalf of the club ex pressed the regrets of all at the departure of the President. He dwelt at length on the Club and what it had accomplished for the town, and what it had done for the young men of the town. He said that most of this was due the untiring devo tion of the President to all that pertained to the Club ; and much more, eulogizing thatfgentlcman's many admirable traits of character, in both business and social circles. He wound up by offering a toast to the President, which was pledged in native wine. Maj. Erwin then responded in most appreciative and tender language. He was much affected by the demonstra tion and words of kindness. He review ed his six years in Salisbury, saying he came prejudiced against the climate and with a general dislike to the place. He told how this had passed away and how in its place had grown a fondness for the town and a love for its people and of his personal esteem for every menber of the Club. He then reviewed the workings of the Club and asked that it be sustained as it had been. He thanked the Club again and sat down amid applause. The refreshments, which had been provided most bountifully, were then served. Iater When the tooth picks and cigars were being passed, Mr. Kluttz enlivened the board with a jolly story well told, Whjch was a signal for the informal finale of the evening. Many funny storic? were told, aud many a hearty laugh rang through the rooms. The "Old North State" and other songs were sung before the hour for shaking hands arrived. In this parting entertainment the "Old Hickory Club" did honor to a man who had been generous as well as kind to it, and in honoring him did honor to itself. The utmost decorum and good be havior characterized the demeanor of the members of the Club, though nothing else could have been expected in the atmos phere which surrounds the fellowship of that organization. It may be remarked to the credit of the members and their in vited guests that three handsome decan ters of "the finest whiskies sat on a table for the use of those who desired it, and that the cut glass Stoppers were not re moved during the evening. In parting with this subject we take the liberty to suggest that there are a number of gentle men in Salsbury who should join this Club some with frosted hair and others in the prime of life A Promise of Lively Times. Onskt Bay, Mass., Sept 13. Rev.

Buck Creek Corundufi. The Buck Creek Corundum mine is in Clay county, 18 miles from Hayesville, the county town, and 43 miles from Webster, the nearest railroad town. There are several hundred acres in the tract. The corundum is of a light color grayish white with occasional splotch es of other colors. They do not mine from shafts, but have excavated the side of a hill which rises sheer from the creek. The corumdum is shoveled into troughs and the water of the creek turned on it. After this washing it is sorted and stored for hauling. It is hauled to the railroad at a cost of 75 cents per hundred pounds. Large quantities have been taken from this hill and sent north where it has been used in many useful arts. Mr. Hutchins the owner is not at the mine now, and no work is being done in his absence. OPERATIONS ON THE OOON A LUFTEB. A company has been formed for the purpose of dredging four rivers in the extreme western part of this State. They are the Oconaluftee, Tuckaseegee, Nan tahala and Tennessee. The three first are aflucnts to the latter and all are sup posed to have a golden wealth in their bed sands. They have been entered by the company as vacant and they have applied to the State authorities for the the proper grants. Their present opera tions arc on the Oconaluftee river where they have built a large dredge boat, 0x35 feet, which is to be supplied with new modern dredjrinir machinery. It is understood that it is a test trial for some new machinery. Their plan is to dredge this and the other rivers named, should it prove profitable to do so. They have had a number of experts to examine the beds of these streams, all of whom re ported favorably on the scheme which is a rather suspicious circumstance, though it does not seem to have been so to the members of the company. The boat is about completed now. As soon as k tias received the machinery, it is intend ed to beirin work in the Oconoluftee. These rivers all have Indian names. 3 There rivers are swift and arc filled with boulders and shoals, and do not, as a rule, offer any ad vantages for dredging. Col. McCoy has resumed work at the Coggins mine, near El Dorado, iu Mont gomery county. The Russell mine, in same county, has yielded more favorable returns for sev eral weeks thau for some time before. Twenty stamps have been added to the Steele mine in Montgomery county. Mrs. M. A. Smith, of Nails, Montgom ery county has found gold on her place, which old miners predict to be a valua ble gold producing property. The gold found was surface material and -yis in the shape of coarse gold and small nug gets. An unusual quantity of branch gold will be on the market this fall in Mont gomery county. The petty mining of that county amounts to thousands every year. In many cases it pays for all the domestic supplies of a family. The Shuford gold mine, in Catawba county is not for sale as has been report ed. Superintendent Ilyser will go to New York soon to consult with the owner, W . A. bwect, .tsq., who lives at Syracuse. The recent finds of fine emeralds in Alexander county has-had the effect of making the people look for such things. There are many localities in the vicinity of the Emerald & Hiddenite mining pro perty where gem stones have leen found. The finer colored beryls taking the lead. Some very fine and highly colored frag meats of monozite have recently been found at Walkers Mill. The Carolina Queen mine, in Burke county is active again. Dr. Lighthill the president of the company is personally su perintending operations at prcsen t . They have some sixteen or more veins of auri ferous ouartz exposed and these are being tested by actual work. At Gold Hill, in Rowan county, they have added air compressors, steam drills and new hoist. They have cut a rich vein in the "Texas shoot," which shows free gold. They are sinking the main or Randolph shaft, which is at present 85 feet deep, and at this depth they have come into a five foot vein of solid ore. They have also cut a new and rich vein in the North level, about 180 feet from the surface. Mr. Jno. Jacobs, Supt. of the Yadkin Chlorination works, has just completed chlorinating 20 tons of concentrates from the Icenhour mine one of the Gold Hill group which turned out 538 penny weights, worth $588. This was a test, and was designed to ascertain the work ing value of the ore. Those who have control of the property are very well pleased, though the result is smaller titan was anticipated. Shake Among the Clocks. Among the curious freaks of the earth quake is the peculiar .effect that it had up on watches aud clocks and different articles of jewelry. At Mr. E. Rosenthal's store, in Meeting street, the regulator was stopped at nine and a half minutes to 10 o'clock. Of the other pendulum clocks in the store, only those were stopped which were facing north or south. The motion of the vibra tions, coming from a direction contrary to that of the swinging pendulums, immedi ately stopped the clocks, vhile tn the case ot those that were facing east and west the motion of the pendulums was only accelerated. A number of watches were also stopped by the earthquake. This was due to the injury to the jewels iu the work-, m in., of which were a tiully shaken from Uieii setting by the shock. The same effect was also noticed with regard to rings ami other pieces of jewelry set with seals, liamouds and other stones. Such was the acuteness with which the shock was com municated from the earth to everything a- round that the jar caused many of these to pop out from their settings. A gentleman, who was on the excursion train, which was coming down from Columbia when the eattluinake struck it, had his hand on his knee when the shock came, and vet the large seal in the ring on his finger wan hs ken out. A number of such case have been reported, and some of the jewelers hare almost as big a bonanza in repairing such damages as the contractors and brick Iaycra iu repairing the broken walls and temples of the ruined city.
