We copy the report of a railroad acci dent in Massachusetts. It is a vivid de scription of the scene, and as such, in structive of the hon ors which nearly ijl ways attend such accidents. "Rowan Heal Estate Advertiser," is the title of a new monthly by Mr. J. M. Ila u it is devoted to the subject indicated by its naroe, and will no. doubt facilitate the ale of properties both in tow n and countjy. Some interest is show n here now towards improving the appearance o store roouial A handsome store room, with goods well displayed, never fails to attract attention, and always gets trade when there is any art oat. The water pipes are being placed along the streets through which the main is i.- Uuded to run The size, thickness, and weight of the pipes, explains why tjie svstem of Water Works should cost !so much money. Il comes from a reliable source, that a joint stock company is being foruijed here to light Salisbury by the system ef electric light. It is to be hoped thatj it Wdl be doue, as we are in need of more light just uow. The fence reccutly-put around tjhe Graden Sehool property is a decided im provement. There should be a gojod pavement along the new street, on tjhe east side of the building, for the con venience of the children ' The bubble party given to the little folks on Saturday afternoon by Mrs. (.'has.

The Winston Scniinel of last week pub lishes an appeal to the citizens of . Wiins ton to organize a Building and Loan As sociation, and as an argumeut in favor of the move, quotes from the Watchman some of the benefits that Salisbury has derived fro'.u this deservedly popular j in stitution hero. The Association has been in existence only one year, instead of two as stated by the Sentinel. The second year promises greater things for Salis bury, through this medium, than was the first ear. It Us a grand sueoew here. Mr. JSuniuguate lias oetu surveying, for several days, with a view of settling permanently upon a location for estab lishing the plant for the Water Works. He has decide 1 to go to Crane Creek, southeast of town, instead of Grant's Creek, heretofore upokeu of. This gives universal satisfaction, as the waters of Crane Creek are known by everybody to ue me purest ana best tor all pur poses anywhere in this region of country. A supply of water, onrler pressure, will enable those of our citizens, who have an ornamental turn of mind, to make tin ir premises more attractive l.y fountains. sprinklers. &c. Theo. V. Kluttz & Co. will add to the appearance of tht ir Drug Store, by running a spray fountain of natural wa ter on top of a fountain of Soda Water, or a natural water fountain above a soda water fountain.. The fctner to attract attention and admiration, the latter to attract th ai klt-s. Frost. A citizen of the Heilig's Mill section of the county, reports that the cold weather of Tuesday morning killed the peach blossoms in that neighborhood. There was ice formed in exposed situations here, but it is thought no serious damage was done to the fruit trees iu town lots. Oxford in Ashes. Half of the business part of Oxford, N. C, was destroyed by fire on Tuesday morning. Supposed to be the work of an incendiary. Twenty-three firms were burnt out. Loss estimated at $100,000. Great excitement, and the people think they can lay hands on the guilty parties. The negroes behaved badly, even refusing to work for pay. Sudden Death. Our community was shocked this morn ing by the announcement that Mns. Dr. Wiiitkiiead, relict of the late I)r. M. Whitenead, died at her residence last night, at 10 o'clock. There was no previ ous illness known, and the sad event was due to some heart disease. The deceased was highly esteemed by the community in which so large a part of her life was ii ii i snent. ana nersuaaen removal nastoucn- 7 ed almost every heart. Y. M C. A. Mr. Williams, Secretary of the State Y. M. C. A., addressed a good congrega tion last night at the Presbyterian church in the interest of the organ izatioti recent ly formed here. His address was highly interesting, and was very attentively listened to. At its conclusion contribu te cards, to raise funds for the purpose of aiding the young men here in their benevolent and religious labors, were cir culated, but we have not learned what amount was subscribed. Robbery. On last Monday night about 10 o'clock Mr. Wyatt, a merchant of this place, was going home, when on council street oppo site Miller & Robertson's tobacco factory, he overtook a man walking along slowly and spoke to him something about the weather. They walked along together. Mr. Wyatt thinks he was a little ahead when they reached the low place beyond the factory, but noticed the man came up even with him very quickly. Still he suspected nothing, and continued his way homeward. When opposite the gate which opens into Dr. Whitehead's carriage yard, the man, -whom, he judged by his manner of talking and gate to be a negro, sprang upon him, and with a rock struck him a blow upon the back and side of the head, knocking him down, but giving him a second blow between the shoulders as he fell. Mr. Wyatt was knoeked partially senseless and so dazed as to be unable to make an alarm till alter his pockets were rifltd of what money he had along with him, abou three dollars, he thinks. He very soon recovered sufficiently, however, to holler, aud his cries were heard by Rev. Mr. By rd, who boards at Mr. Bailey's, the nearest house, and who went to his rescue' at once, finding him prostrated and bleeding profusely from his wounds. He succeeded in getting Mr. Wyatt home, a short distance away, and went immediately for Dr. Whitehead who pronounced him seriously hurt ; consisting mostly in bruises about the head aud face, those upon his face being caused by his falling face-downward upon some stones-. Fortunately there were uo bones broken, und Mr. Wyatt will soon recover, al though he has suffered a great deal from the shock and wounds received. The night wastoo dark for Mr. Wyatt to rec ognize anyone; hut says the robber was rather tall, above the medium height, and his speech led him to believe that it was a ue;ro. Mrs. Wyatt says she heard some one running by the house about the time the cries of her husband were heard andweut out Fulton street toward Col. Shober's. It is thought the attack was planned to be made in the hollow at the time the i supposed negro mended his pace to get up with Mr. Wyatt. Had it occurred then, there is no doubt but that the blow- would have been given direct, and with such force as to have proved- fatal, be cause, if the attack was planned before hand, the assailant knew his ground, and was prepared to silence his victim. Our citizens are, as a rule, discreet and even tempered, and are willing to let the law take its course in matters like this, but in this instance, with the excitement at fever heat, as it has been since the crime was committed, a suspicion even, would be sufficient to get up a first class lynching. WANTED. Messrs. Creech & Co., of Raleigh, If. C. desires information-of the relative . Jg c Bruuerf whd wjj,t from this gute to Texas, between 1?80 and 1866. The W ater. Wcrta. Eighteen car loads of iron piping for our Water Works have arrived, and the work of laying the pipes wfll begin this week. Mr. Burlingame, who is engineer and superintendent of the company, Is exercising great care in reference to the quality of the water to be supplied, and iu this direction will probably abandon the purpose of tapping Grant's Creek, having, as he thinks, found far more de sirable water within the same distance of town. The contract requires the work to be finished by the lt of June, so that we may expect it to be pushed with great energy, when once lairly begun, it is almost useless to say what every one ad mits, that this will be a great thing for Salisbury--greater by far than most of her citizens are now aware of. More water has been the cryiDg need of the town through all, her past history. In ordinary times there was uo distressing scarcity, ut whenever fire happened to break out, we were at the mercy of the flames for the luck of waiter. And yet, it may be truly said, that it required an inte ligeut and courageous Board of ComuiUsiouers to take up this subject in a truly business way. Other Boards, through many years, had talked about doing something to supply the pressing need, but it gener ally ended in talk, for none of them were ever willing. to take the responsibility or had t he courage of their convictions on the subject. True, none of them existed at a time when the prospects of the town were so bright, as within the last two or three years, or when the danger of delay involved the risk of so much valuable property. Nor, indeed, had the public mind matured on the subject; so that af ter all, former Boards were not seriously at fault by their delay. They did make at least one feeble attempt, which, had it proved equal to the wants of the town at that time, would be quite iua equate now We allude to the big well in the PuUie Square, which, however much sneered at, is indisputably valuable public pro perty, or couhl be easily made so. But to return to the present Board of Commissioners we wish to record our thanks for the courage and judgment dis played by them on the water subject, and there is no doubt that their action will redown immensely to the interest, the comfort, and the prosperity of the town. And while we are recording, it affords us pleasure to present-the names of those to whom herefifter will be conceded the honor of having devised so wisely for the welfare of the community, viz: E. B. Neave, Mayor. COMMllsSIONEKS : - j Kerr Craige, Esq. ( K. J. Holmes, ( P. P. Meson ey, ( David A. Atwell. West Ward. NorthWard. W. Gates, East Ward. T. A. COUGHENOUR. D. R. Julian, Southward. Barrett. These are the "city fathers" to whom citizens are indebted for the most praise worthy effort ever yet made to put the town on a good solid basis. 1 heir ad ministration of public affairs generally has been first rate throughout, and chal lenges the closest scrutiny. Public ser vants should receive cordial recognition for their faithfulness. The good words "well dope" is not less their due than it is the duty and the pleasure of the public to award them. We have been in formed that this Board will pay off all claims agaiust the town before the expiration of their term, and that there will be suili cient funds in the treasury to meet the first payment on the Water Works, the first of next June. The finances of the town are in good condition, which proves that they have been carefully and ac curately managofet For the W; iuniin. I'.d. Wttfchindn. Your correspondent from Bust's Mill seems to be down on to iacco. Well it is time for some to' be down ou 50 cent tobacco, but it ouht to be the raiser. The writer of this is a raiser of tobacco but not of that 50 cent kind. . It is very strange, yet it is true, that a tobacco buyer is expected to pay more for an inferior article than a man in any other business. - Why is it that our bad wheat last year sold at from 50 to 75 cents1 per bushel and our flour as low as $l.C5 per saok, or a farmers dirty cotton for 6 cent- per lb. It is because it is worth, no more, why just a few days ago I saw a neighbor sell a little one- horse load of tobacco that brought $71.00. Now that clou t look like it will do to stop raising it. Buyers dont want to buy so much bad tobacco and you are right in what you said on the subject last week. As to it paying the speculator we all know a leaf dealer can t take it, for the fi tight would be more than the tobacco would bring. I have kept posted on other markets and am sure Salisbury is as high as any in the State. I wonder if your Bost's Mill corres pondent has ever took notice who it is that do the loudest swearing on the ware house floor. My oh,er ;.t on has led me to believe it is those who were in the woods squirrel hunting or on the public square in Salisbury hugging your lamp po-its or some other idle.iess when their neighbor were making their good tobac co. It is certain there is too much bad tobacco raided but there never will be a time that good tobacco will not bring more money lor tte amount of work tharr auy crp I know anything about. No matter how depressed business is, fine tobacco will always bring a gttod price. Yours truly Farmer.

This excellent property, in Union coun ty, Is paying very well considering the amount invested in the plant. They are only working a five-stamp mill, but they have as superintendent, Mr. Motz, who is one of the most careful, practical men engaged in mining in the South. He has fully demonstrated his ability to place the Brewer among ne ioremo.t prouuemg mines or tue country. Unfortunately he has not auffl-j cient financial strength to enable him to bring out the best results, yet he deserves great credit for making the property pay with the present meagre equipment. H KM BY MINE. The Hemby s &Im in Union county and is running a ten-stamp mill, which to urn ing out fairly well. i ill ' lis m iiirfrw i ;uantity of good grade ore on the proper ty, but some difficulty is experienced in .-aviug the gold. The trouble is by no nt ansa new one in tne folate, ana tnci matter should be looked after before the money gives out. Would it-not be well to closely concentrate the sulphides and ship them to the Yadkin Chlonnation Works at Salisbury? The treatment there is reliable and the charges moder ate. - . . HOWIE MINE. Work at the Howie mine is being push ed vigorously under the management of Mr. W. R. Reeve, of Boston. They, are VI iilin tin using tne "iseweit mm, wnicn is favorably thought of by some mill men. In fact, the company will put in . another mill of this kind iu a short time. Mr. Witherell, of Colorado, has lately arrived, and will take temporary charge of the! milling. He is said to have had large experience with the "Wisewell mill" in reducing ores in the west, and claims that they are superior to stamps in every way. i nis will oe news to many mill men in North Carolina but if they can accom plish all that he claims for this mill, it will be to the interest of mining men to visit the Howie in Union county, and learn anew the lesson of "how to reduce ore." Is EN HOUR MINE. The native owners of the Isenhour mine, in Cabarrus county, but in the Cold Hill group, are working that property at a profit. They have only a chillian mill a one-horse mill at that yet they keep grinding the fine brown ore from near the surface. With this limited amount of work they tnru out not less than $20 per day, and accomplish it at a remarkably small outlay. They are, by this means, opening the property, adding to its value aud increasing the amount of concentra ting ore on the dump. The great mass of the ore is an aurifer ous sulphide aud the gold cannot be per fectly extracted without smelting or chlorinating. The material suitable for these purposes is carefully saved. Seven days work ou this little mill has turned out 141 dwt. of fluxed gold. The proper ty will in all probability be worked on an extensive scale socn. During the sum mer an extended plant may be set up. 6HUF0RD GOLD MINE. The Shuford gold mine, in Catawba county, has long been known as a pro duccr. r or years it has been worked as a placer mine, in fact, operations of "that character only ceased about two years since, when the sediment from the oft used water completely filled the pond, thus cutting off the water supply. Supt. Hyser has, since that time, turn- ed his attention to tue study of tbeauruer ous quartz veins which abound on the property. Many of these have been found some of considerable size. The company has receutly instructed biin to put down a new shaft for deep mining which probably means w00 or 100 2eei deep. This action has been taken fer mature deliberation aud a patient inve Ligation of the reports submitted by the superintendent. The company reasons bly expects some fair remuneration for this new expenditure, and as Mr. Hyser has been a very careful n an iu the past, something practical is looked for iu the future. PLACER MINE SOLD It is reported that the Ransom Bridge property, in Warren county, has gone into the possession of English capitalists for the sum of $150,000 This amount of money should pay for a very good pre perty. LAKP TRANSFER. It is stated upon good authority that something more than oO.OOO acres of land, lying iu Watauga and other counties in the Western part of the State, has been sold to Baltimore capitalists. There is said to be a large deposit of mangantae on the property. Zeb Items. Zeb, March 15, 1887. Ed. Watchman : The Farmers Club met Thursday night (March 17). Mr. W.
