Some who own residences on the north er '. "' east side of the car shops are displeased with the action of the rail road company in building the "Y" across from the R. & D. to the Western road. ' Judge Gilmer did not pass judgment on Adam SBeppard, who was convicted at last court of selling liquor on Sunday, but withheld the same, putting Sheppard oh probation, till the May term. We publish on the outside of this paper an account of a terrible earthquake in Europe.. More recent news of it reports the loss of 1,500 people, and a vast de struction of property. Especial attention is called to Mr. Schultz's advertisement in this paper. He : deals exclusively in Boots, Shoes, Hats, Caps, Trunks. Valises and Umbrel las.' His stock is select and all new. Mr. Boyd, who is a recent accession to the Bar here, and who practiced his pro fession in Virginia for several years, was granted license, by the Supreme Court last week to practice in this State.

The warm sunshine on Monday and Tuesday brought out the "old timy" gar dener, 4'ho was seen looking over the .garden fence with, an air which was in tended as,a reminder that "Boss, dis here grouh heed turnin' up now-ful bad." r The travel on the Western road, which 'a few years ago was meagre during the "winter months, will now compare favora bly wit h the R 4 D. or any other road in the State. It is now the great through Hue west, and, is doing an immense .business. Our City fathers are doing a commend able work this week in having the shade trees, ou the various streets, trimmed. The fact is they have done everything vwrus improving tne appearance of the town that was possible with the means in hand. Salisbury has never had a more efficient municipal board.

There being no gradu ating class this year, there were no com mencement exercises. - We are informed that the average attendance was 15 per cent larger than last year, but the funds having been exhausted the school was compelled to close. The buying and selling of real estate within, and adjacent to the corporate limits, is unprecedented in the history of Salisbury. What was regarded as old fields two and three years ago, has been laid off regularly into squares, streets located and lots offered for sale, are sel ling readily at reasonable figures. A mixture of plaster and guano seems to be popular here as a. fertilizer among those who give attention to cultivating grass in their yards. The proportion is two of plaster to one of guano. Good stable manure, well scattered over the grass h probably the best yet. " Children Kite Party. The children of the Mission Band pro pose to given mite party at the. resi dence of Mr, S. H.

Write a letter, enclosing 6cts. to pay for the paper and the postage on it. And when writ ing on business of interest to vourself alone, send a stamp to pay postage on the expected answer. It is only com mon politeness. Building and Loan Association Stock holder's Meeting. There will be a meeting of the stock holders of the Building and Loan Asso ciation at Meroney's Hall, Thursday night, (March 3rd, inst.) at 7:30 o'clock. Stockholders and the public are invited to attend. Officers are to be elected and other business of interest to stockholders to receive attention. Burglary. There was a crime of thissort perpe trated on Mr. Teter Roueche, of this town, Monday night last. Mr. R. was absent from his home," which is located near the R. R. Shops, being an engineer on the Western X. C. R. R. and up the road at the time. His house was entered and the family chloroformed. The thief or thieves, as the case may be, obtained about $50 in cash, , and carried off some jewelry, clothing and a pistol. Xo trace as yet. Stonewall Jacksons Monumont. The soldiers who followed Stonewall Jackson in the late war, all others who wish to contribute to the erection of a monument to his memory, should send in their contributions without delay to R. B. Merchant, Fredericksburg, Va., or hand them to one of our bankers, Messrs. Davis & Wiley, or Mr. I. H. Foust, who will no doubt cheerfully forward the amounts to the proper officer to receive them. The work on the monument is soon to commence, and there are many willing hearts who have not yet put in their mite towards raising it. Industrial School for Girls. There has been some inquiry this week in respect to the modef female seminary, on the plan of that at Columbus, Mis.4. It is gratifying that others have had their attention drawn to it, and it is hoped a sufficient number of our wealthy citizens may seriously consider the enterprise as presenting one of the best opportunities for a profitable investment of money profitable in the sense of doing good to rising and future generations. The Herald of This date notices the article published in this paper last week on this subjdctwkh encouragiug remarks, and proposes that the Salisbury Improve ment Association shall take cognizance of it, which of course is all right. Our correspondent had no desire to parade himself in this relation last week, but designed the article as a feeler. With the encouragement the subject has met. we feel at liberty to say that Maj S. W. Cole is known to us all as one who never trifles on important subjects, and at the Pper me wui verity h propertime will verify his pledge to give hW.OOO for the establishment of such a school as the one proposed.

The President's veto of the pauper pen sion li 1 wits & most admirable act. it deserves the heartiest commendation of the whole country, but uarticularlv of the South. It shows that our Democratic exe cutive is a man indeed with the courage ot his convictions. He has ris n above the false clamour made by hypocrites of the North in favor of the so called soldier ele ment, and put his big foot down upon the wild schemes' to deplete the Treasury He has shown himself a patriot. Disregard ing the specious pleas made to his sympa thies in behalf of special interests, he has acted firmly in the interst of the whole country, of the people who pay the taxes, of the masses upon whom rests the burden wt the government. He should be honored and applauded accordingly. He is not the President of the northern manufacturers, the "bloated bond-holders,'' the lMuntj jumpers of the land, but of the w hole pco p . His care ie for the good of nil, and lie is evidently not to be deterred a mo ment from the performance of his duty. He recognizes the justice of the democratic demand tha- t he surplus revenue shall la stopped by a reduction of taxation, not by a waste of the people's mdhey'upon even vain imagining that may occur to would-be pillagers, and he acts accordingly with firm ness like that of the rock-ribbed mountains. Hr is eminently Worthy of the public confi dence which has been placed in him. He is strong and wise and faithful and patriot ic" He will do to tie to. Netrsand Ob ixrrer. Great Act of the Hired Girl. Doylestown Intelligencer. The other morning in. a barn near Norristown the hired man and two of the farmer's sous were competing ar duously with each other on the barn floor to ascertain who could put one of his heels around his neck. The boys said they had seen a man in a circus put both his heels around his neck at once. Strange, indeed, if they could not get one around. So they heaved and strained, and the hired man heav ed and strained to accomplish the feat. Little did they know that the hired gin was watering tne penormance with breathless interest through a knot hole in the barn. A few hours later the hired girl was missing. After veiling for a dozen times with no response a search was instituted. , She was not in the house, neither was she in the barn. The searching partv re paired to the milkhouse. There was the girl prostrate on the floor, with both heels around her neck and utterly unable to get them loose. She said she would have died before calling for help. Both Get a Tumble A Pair of Accidents Worth Telegraphing. New York, Feb. 26 Ex-Senator Carl Schurz met with a severe accident this morning, while walking down Sixth Avenue, which will confine him to the house for some time. Wheu near Forty Second Street, be slipped on t he. side walk, and fell, breaking his thigh bone. He was conveyed to his home, where his family phvsician snvs he is restiug quiet ly. A dispatch from Philadelphia says that Gen. B. F. Butler fill on a slippery "wood en sidewalk, in that city, this morning, causing a severe wrench or possibly a dislocation of the shoulder. He is all right otherwise, aud left Philadelphia to day for Boston. Got. Lee Calls an Extra Session. Gov. Lee has written a proclamation convening the Legislature in extra ses sion on March 16. The State debt ques tion and the reception of the report of the code are the chief features to which the attention of the Legislature will be called in the message, it is probable that the State Indemnifying Board will present a bill recommending the repudiation of all Riddleberger bonds not funded within twelve months after the passage of said bill. The Savannah Seitt savs there are only 2,045 sn rviving soldiers of the war ot lHrJ. whip thr nr iTOio; suniving widows: If the figures are right there are about UflQO widows , 1 . 1 living on dishonest money. MINING DEPARTMENT. The Sotftell Kino. This mine, in Montgomery county, Glen brook, P.O. is owned by the Russell Gold Mining Company, Lim t d, 27 Throgmorton street, London, Eng. It is under the gen era I superintendence of Wil liam Reed, M. E., and A. S. Wood, Assist ant Manager. The claim comprises about 400 acres in the heart of the El Do rado district. The general formation is huronian. While the veins are chlorite slate with quartzite. The country rock is a compact slate, and t he ore may be described as a hard amorphous quartzite, carrying a small per centage of pyrites. This material is taken from a vein of twenty feet in width and has an average value of from $5 to $10 to- the ton. The amount of ore in sight can hardly be es timated, though the quantity is large as indicated by the size of the lode. Just now they are sinking through a solid body of good ore Which promises an im mense reserve, "T They have an engine xhaft and a sub sidiary shaft and the st opes are opened for a distance of two hundred and fifty feet on the course of the lode. They have a twenty-stamp mill, air compressor and other necessary machinery valued at more than $20,000; the dwelling, mill ami compressor house, office and m iter's cab ins are valued. $5,000 more. The prospects of this property are $X t rem ely good, considering the amount of exploration. ere the property tbor oughly developed this report would pre sent more substantial figures. Negotia tions are pending which wilt greatly fa cilitate present operations , and at the same time open tip the property. All indications point to a reasonable proba bility of a continuance of the quality and quantity of the material, and on this the success of the investment depends. REPORTS FROM THE WERT. In the extreme part of Jackson county, between Georgetown and Cashes valley, the finding of a new auriferous quartz lode is reported. The value of the find has not been determined as yet, but from placer beds. Cherokee possesses great wealth in the abundance of high grade iron ore found there, but this must await the coming of railroads for development. ., There is one thing the county needs and needs at once, and that is broad minded, progressive public men to represent her interests. Poor indeed is the country that must de pend altogether on exterior influences to bring notority to its material resources. Col. Nelson Trift, of Albany, Oa , has ac tually harnessed an artesian well ami made of it a hewer of wood and drawer of water. A tank sixteen feet high, witlua capacity of 6 000 gallons of water, h as been construe ted of heavy durable timbers, into which the foil flow' of wafer can he turned, which tills it in one hour. Under this tank is a substantial over-shot wheel nbout ten feet in diameter, the steel ax Its of which run in metallic boxes, firmly secured on a heavy Wooden.franie. UjMn this wheel the full tori c of the water from the tank cau be thrown, and with a fill of 200 gallons p r minute, the speed and hm e i something marvelous. Connecting belts run a circu lar saw about two feet in diameter, which cuts up the firewood, and. also other ma chinery. The bill for the establishiaentthe in dustrial school passed its HcconTl reading in the House yesterday. As amended it provides that the Boaid of Trustees shall be the Board of Agriculture and shall Ix. com posed half of democrats ami half of re- puhlicuns. The operations on the experi ment farm are to cease and the property and funds pertaining thereto arc to be turned over to the school. The military tactics feature of the bill was btricken cut. Nett and Observer. Wc insist that 'men elected bv Demo cratic votes should keep faith with the partv. When we point out the sins of omission or commission which lie at the doors of members of Congress or of the Legislature, verv few ' organs ' question the wisdom of such criticism: but when we apply the same rule of conduct to an executive, there is a clamor from the liatterers an time servers. uur rule is to demand in essentials unitv; in non essentials, liberty; in all things, harmony; and, as we have said, we, are no task makers or conscience-keepers, except fi r ourselves. Loutviue Courier Journal, Dem. Fifty years ago. next Monday, the Justi ces of the Peace, who had been connni. sioned by the Governor, met in the Met ho dist church to organise the . iirnt .cuuntj court for Davie count There were pre ent thirty-eight Justices, ami of that num ber only two are living; Jerry '.B.

Ikittt June The main thing so far elicited by the Texas investigation is the fact that white republican leaders of the negroes in the region under review told their dupes that the Cleveland administration was respou sible for the earthquakes, the drought and the fact that cotton brought but cents a pound. This is on a par with the republican argument generally addressed to the darkey .-Arif-G6crrcr. N. Y. Stan the question of an extra session ts already agitated at Washington Present rumors relate only to the con sideration of treaties by the Senate. But after Cabinet reconstruction an extra session of the House of the Fiftieth Con gress may be deemed advisable to con sider an administration plan of tax re duction and Treasury administrative refonn. There am some weighty reasons of public and party policy in "favor of such a course if the present House ad journs without action. .
