March went out like a lion. 3Iiss Chrissie Beard is improving. Mr. W. L. James is having his residence overhauled and re-painted. Lots of shooting on East Main street, a t night, to be no one injured. Masons are at work on the foundation for the water works stand pipe. Miss Douglas, of New Jersey, who has hent the winter here, returned North on I ' Monday. Mr. and Mrs. J. G. Heilig left for Wil minirton, Wednesday morning, to visit relatives. We learn a gentleman from Virginia is here looking for a location to manufac ture cigars. A mad dog was reported in town Saturday, and to have bitten several other dogs. A car load of McCormick's latest im proved mowers and self binders arrived here this week. Mr. D. R. Julian has put up a street lamp hi front of his store, in the Watch man building. Mr. C. T. Tichenor, who has been in Kentucky for several years, will engage in business here. , Very small sales of tobacco in town duringthe past week, but prices for com mou have been better. Messrs. L. H. Clement and J. W. Mauucy represent the Salisbury bar at .-Davie court this week. We are glad to. see Mr. Bradley, engi ncer on the Richmond & Danville rail road, able to be out again. Mr. M. S. Brown has placed a rather unique advertisement in his window in the shape of an eloctric negro. Rev. Mr. Byrd returned from Greensboro on Monday, where he spent a week, assist ing in a series of meetings at that place.. - Members of the Lutheran church are making preparations for Easter. Seats and carpets were in the yard Tuesday. Some of the various pul pits here will probably be occupied by visiting Presbyte rian divines, in attendance upon Presbytery. Over three thousand pounds of fish were sold in Salisbury week before last. We get this from one of our fish dealers. Mr. Warier, of Charlotte, has taken charge of the Singer Sewing machine ollice here, vice N. J. McDuffie, trans ferred. Tho Convention Tuesday night was probably the largest town convention we have ever had. This speaks louder than words. Wo learn from a correspondent that the Cape Fear and Yadkiu Valley Rail Koad will be completed to Pilot Moun tain hi Sept. and toMt. Airy by Jan. 1st. Thiais tho season of the year when farmers have something to do at. home. Hence the absence of country people on tho streets this week. Boya should not lie allowed to throw tones at birds on the streets. Window lights ore endangered by such sport; a few have already been broken. Special attention is called to the adver tisement of Juliau & Watson in another column;. If you want anything iu his line Dave will be pleased to wait on you. We notice in several of our exchanges that at different places in the State they are still getting their weather service re ports. Thiey have been discontinued here. Why is this thusly. Sec advertisement in another column oi me Kaeket Store, and if y ou have never been there, go ! You will find al most anything you may want, and at prices that will astonish you, Mr. A. Parker is improving his proper ty on James street, adjoining Mr. Ji J. Bell's, by rolling back the old house for an ell, and building new In front. One by one the old landmarks disappear. Mr. Burlingamc has returned from o.usboro, having contracted with the authorities of that place for Messrs. Mof- lewf "OdgkinsA Cbirkft. n( Wntrtnwn N. Y. to supply the town with water. It is not generally known that Bristol, the terminus of the proposed 8. A. & N. BJ K., is directly on the line between irginia and Tennessee. The State line s Uirough the street.' middle of the main 1n. L. s. Overman, of this place, has n vited, by the board of trustees of J-reenaboro Female College, to deliver e annual address to tho graduating r88 at the commencement iu June. He "as not yet accepted. We have only time to say tbismoruing llt the Charlotte Observer's Siilisbury c-rrespondent (if it had one) in relation 0 stu,e of pui4k feeliujr here in re ti the municipal election has mis fresiaited the facts.

' 'i The Salisbury Improvement Associa tion meets in the Mayor's office to-night at half past seven o'clock. Every one who has the welfare of the town at heart should go. If every one would put . their shoulders to the wheel, we could soon make old Salisbury second to no inland city in the State. See advertisement of the Georgia Home Insurance Company in another column. This old reliable company has been rep resented here by Mr. J. Allen Brown for the past eighteen years, during which time they have met with several losses in this place, all of which were promptly and satisfactorily settled without litiga tion. "Monte Cristo." Oh well ! the less said about it tho bet ter. "Peck's Bad Boy." An immense audience for Salisbury witnessed this comedy at Meroney's hall last Monday. It was full of humor and every one who attended had two hours of laughter and were well pleased. Try at Home. It has often beeir observed that some of our business men are a little more liberal to "foreigners" than to home folks. To make the meaning clearer and more pointed they are rather prone to send abroad to get their printing done than to offer it to printers at their door. Bill-Heads, Letter-Head's, Statements, Receipts, Notes, Cards, Hand-bills, Ac. &c., are done at this office in a very satis factory manner, at satisfactory prices. We cannot "button-hole" the business men o Salisbury for this or any other class of job printing never have and never will but will certainly do any reasonable thing to give satisfaction to those who may favor us with u call. Try us before sending else where. The Best and Cheapest College. Over 200 young men from eighteen States entered the Commercial College of Kentucky University, Lexington, Ky in the past three months. This College received the Highest Honor and Gold Medal at the World's Exposition over al other Colleges for System of Book -keeping and business Education. It is situat ed in the beautiful, healthy, and renown ed city of Lexington, Ky., accessible by the leading railroads. Arrange now to enter this College during the spring or summer months, as students can enter at any time. TheTresident of this renown ed College has sent the Editor of this paper a Full Scholarship to his College and an ambitious youug man will find it to his advantage to call and sec the Editor. Read advertisement of this Col lege in an another column, and write for particulars to its President, Wilbur R Smith, Lexington, Ky. A Delightful Evening. Thursday being the time appointed for the "St. Cecilia Dime Reading," found the parlors of Mr. A. H. Boyden filled with a select and expectant audience As usual the programme opened with hymn from the Episcopal choir, and was followed by a poem written and read by Kev. ur. vv neat, i uis composition was a literary gem sparkling all along the lines with the noblest and purest scnti men ts, and his admiring listeners felt a gratitude pervade their pleasure, because it taught while it so charmingly enter tained. Next came "Recollections of Home," with Miss Blackmer at the piano; to whose skillful and delightful rendition, the company bore ample testi mony by enthusiastic applause. As if suggested by the music preceediug, "The Grandmother," by Tennyson, was next beautifully and expressively read by Mrs. Chas. Price, and thoroughly - enjoyed by young and old. The exquisite thoughts of this happy selection had scarcely ceased to echo, when Dr. Griffith's splendid voice poured forth its deep, mellow notes in the "King's Highway'' and "the concord of sweet sounds" sug gested that both king and beggar might have considered themselves fortunate in passing that way ! In response to a per sistent encore, Dr.-Griffith sang the "Sex ton," and again charmed his hearers. In the lull following, Miss Alice Cald well made her way to the piano and with astonishing self-possession and skill for one of her years, favored the company with one of Beethoven's Sonatas. Father Ryan's sublimely grand poem, "The Sentinel's Song," was then read by Mr. McCloud Bost, but my pen helplessly falters at an effort to express the tender loyal emotions, awakened by this sad re frain of a disappointed Southern -soldier an d poet. II is glorious words so resplend ent with the truths for which we fought, will never cease to move even colder hearts than those of our owu sunny laud. Seemingly inspired by the "poet's moan," Miss Mock's birdlike voice now floated out to us in the pathetic words and tones of Tostis' "Bid Me Good-Bye," and our souls mutely oil -red her their tribute of praise. " Last but not least followed "Longing for Home," the last of Jean Ingelow's beautiful "Songs of Seven," which Mrs. Shober gracefully and touchingly recited. Four generations of the venerable Dr. Wheat's family represented in the enter tainment, formed a remarkable and un usual feature, as a little three year old great-grand -daughter recited and made a prettypicture. Th us elided a social treat , and we wended our way homeward with the spell f pK'try and music still ui6n us. Democratic Convention. Pursuant to a call of the Democratic Executive Committee of Salisbury, the democratic voters met in their respective Wards, last Tucwlny night, to nominate a ticket for municipal officers. Each Ward nominated its own Commissioners and voted for choice for Mayor. The several wards then assembled in Mcroney's Hall in general .convention. ic meeting was called to order by Mr. Kluttz. Upon the nomination of Mr. A. H. Boy den, Mr. T. TP. Kluttz was elected ermaneut chairman. Reports from the different Wards werfr then presented as follows : EAST WARlr-FOR MAYOR. B.

Suinmerell the two receiving the largest number of votes for commissioner in each ward was declared Al A. me unanimous nominees ol tne conven tion for commissioners. Mr. Kluttz, Mr. Crawford and Mr. Neave each then imale a short talk. Mr. Crawford accepting his defeat in a manly ! J m -m r anu generous way, anu Mr. xseave ac cepting the nomination with tho usual promises. On motion of Mr. A. H. Boyden, Mr, Jas. W. Rumple was elected chairman of theSalisbury Democratic Executive Com mittee, with C. D. Crawford and Br. Grifiith as members. The Convention then adjourned. S. A. & JT. W. Railroad. According to the amended charter of the South Atlantic & North Western Railroad, the county commissioners of any county, through which the road pro poses to pass, are compelled to order an election on a proposition to subscribe on the part of the county to said road, upon the petition of one-fifth of the qualified voters of said county. Petitions are now being circulated through Wilkes county to get the neces sary signers to have the election ordered for some time in June. From information received it is believed that Yadkin county will vote a subscript ian to the road. We also learii that Carter and Sullivan counties, Tenn., propose to give fifty thousand dollars each. Saw Dust. Editar of the Watchman: I do not claim to be a Cowper or a Plutarch, i.or do 1 claim to have emerged from a Thesau rus; but, one thing 1 do claim; that il amai oiow not, uis iioru no nail butter not invest much in that class of instruments. So 1 am tempted to take up my Opuicleidc and sound one blast al least, musical or not musi cat. (There is not o much difference .be tweeu noise aud music after all.) We do uot pretend to :n that wc can make your paper more interesting than it is ah cad y but then we can use up a little papr aud ink and, therefore, be ot some sei vice to the manufacturer, aud perhaps keep up the price ot cotton a Uttlv. There have been quite a number of lots purchased at H-dyv P. O. with a view o louiniiii' a village. One handsome dwel ling is now building and the nrm, already known as "Deal & Barrier, is making al possible speed in collecting material with which to erect a larye store house. Saw's sun is rising cloudless, whi h will give our Euochvillc Irieud a good opportunity to see the eclipse. We hope he will keep on hand pleuty ot smoked glass. On the night ol the 25th of .March t great war cloud of tlie west hung around the village of Enochville and many ol' her citizens beheld for the first lime a Specimen ot the Aboriyinese ot JSorth America. But then why should 1 trouble you with thi-'f From out inlancy we have heard the old people say that the hrst cloud of the prin steers I no direction ot all its successors consequently jour readers need not be stir prist.it lu hear a little more thunder Iron that quarter during the Spring and Sum Ulcr. SAW HANDLE NO. I. For the WatrJiman Sensible Advice to Young Girls. There is nothing like their owu home for married people, even if the wife anal have to cook, sweet) the floor and clean the windows. If she is a healthy girl the exercise will do her good and no young man who has tj labor for his living should marry a girl that is not healthy, strong anu wining to do her own work w hile they are too poor to hire a servant. This thing of marrying a girl that you have to hire another tb take care of is not a wise thing for a poor youug man do. lie should look out for a girl that is broad shouldered, strong in muscle, having, of course, other virtues. The ideal girl, the consumptive, tight laced, party going, piano play ing, French tulking, fashionable girl can be iio proper wife for him. This language the girls may think un kind, but it is not. It is better fur girls that are not fitted to be a poor youug limit's wife to remain with their parent- than become sueh. It will be belter for their lovers too, and better for . ociey.; C. A. CAMTDELaV. MINING DEPARTMENT. T. K. BKUNKR EDITOR, It ALEIG1I, K. C. Succinite. Succinite, or succinum, as the Romans called it. has been found in Duplin Coun ty, this State. Specimens have been sent to the Department of Agriculture for identification and analysis. Mr. J. B. Carr, ail intelligent and observing farmer, found the hard; resinous substance in the marl and phosphate beds on his place. It has not . as yet been found in any great quantity. buccimte is the generic term tor amber, j It is a fossilized mm which exudwl fmm it mx I trs lM'lmianner tr Tin at mot-he Thuca o o -- r . gum producing trees are found in the overlaying formations of sand and clay, and the gum isfound in the fiber and on the outside of the trunk, hanging in stalactitic pendents. Prof. Kerr, in the second chapter of his Geology of North Carolina, renorte that it is "found i nmnc nt avom I rtiniMMi wmurhr m Pitt I v i v .w vuu u i 1 1 1 i county ana elsewhere, in tne Tertiary j marl beds of the eastern counties." This. however, is the first mention of its having been found iu Duplin county The re markable part of its occurrence in this State, is in the fact that no wood of the ancient tree, from which this amber gum exuded, has yet been found, or at least identified, in the Tertiary or any other formation in this State. It is, however. found in other Atlantic States, occurring in the greensand formation and some times associated with lignite. It is not improbable that in the exploration for phosphate in the eastern counties, may not result iu uncovering larger and more valuable deposits of amber. MINOR MENTION. Prof. I. B. Hellerbuew, Ex-Com'r of Agriculture, of Tennessee, has been pros pecting iu several of the western counties of this State. He is looking after minerals for Tennessee capital, and is well posted in mineralogy. He has been in Run combe, Yancy, Madison and Mitchell, and is pleased with his observations so far. The Marion Bullion Company have J been rather slow in orMw;itinf their I ODerationsin McDowell emintv far th " I last few months. It is stated, however, that they will resume with brighter pros pects with tho coming warm weather The company is composed of energetic Pennsylvania business men, and some thing practical may be expected from them. Their headquarters are at Harris- burg, Pa. Foliated gypsum has been found iu Bladen countv, near Elizabclhtown. It occurs in beds, but is hardly fine enongh to make plaster of paris, but n excellent as a fertilizer for certain soils. Col. Leventhorpe, of Patterson, Cald well county, has found molybdeuite- molybdenum sulphide in his vicinity. It occurs in thin foliated plates, aud greatly resembles graphite. Its composi tion is sulphur and molydenum; it occurs i iu the older, or igneous rocks. The Cid mine is re2orted as sold again. It is in Davidson county and is but par tially developed. Some good material has been found there, but tlte property has not produced much, whether from mismanagement or from barren ore docs not appear. It is likely that to the former cause much of the failure is due. From all sides comes information to the effect that the coming summer will find the State filled with intelligent prospec- toi-s and investors. The resources of the Htate, both in mineral and in forest, is at trading much ultention, and lpany en quiries are being made by interested par ties. The water powers of the State are also coining into notice. The cheapness of living and the equal temperature, as compared with the States north ol us, are great inducements to manufac turers.
