Monday morning last on learning that' Lcola. aired about eiaht Tear, the little daughter of Mr. J. D. Onskill, was dying. She attended the burial of her twin brother, Saturday, (two days before,) and was then in perfect health, and so continued ap parently through the day. But was taken sick Saturday night with a chill. Sunday morning her physician, Dr. Whitehead, dis covered that the had pneumonia in both lungs. Every aid was called in, but all to no purpose. She sank under the virulent attack and expired Monday morning. The death of two children in the space of foui days out of one and the same family is an event so rare as to touch the human heart with a sincere sympathy for the be reaved parents. In this case the children were twins, and cherished treasures of the household, which added another point of sadness to this afflictive dispensation. MCtfING DEPARTMENT. T. K.

Wheat and other small grain looks very promising, especially so in vicinity of Third Creek. Solicitor Long passed through Monday evening going to Concord, where court in in session this week. A large king snake, nearly five feet long, was killed Monday in the rear of Rev. Mr. Tuttle's house, Tuesday and Wednesday of this week were exceptional warm days for this time of the year. A shower is needed. k One hundred kegs of boiler rivets on the lot adjoining the Watchman office to be used in the erection of stand pipe. The Young MenTs Christian Associa tion room has been fitted up with folding seats and presents quite an attractive ap pearance. We learn from private sources that the reported falling of a fifteen pound meteorite, near Franklinton, was a hoax; nothing of it. These moonlit May evenings are pro nounced charming. Lovers can never have a more inspiring season for soft talk nor for castle building. Rev. Dr. Rumple and Mr. Wm. Mur doch are absent from town this week, at tending a meeting of the Board of Trus tees of L'niou Seminary. The warm weather of the last few days -has been the means of having awnings erected over the front of M. S. Brown's store and Telegraph office. Bishop uranbery has given his consent f to be present at the Methodist District Conference, for the Salisbury district, which convenes here the latter part of July. Sending up toy balloons is a good way to start a conflagration. One that was sent 'ip Monday night burned for some time in a tree in front of the Mansion house. Can any of our citizens give us any in formation in regard to some papers or ac counts relating to Dan'l Boone, that was found in tearing down an old building in Salisbury, on the Max. Chambers lot. Salisbury Improvement Association meets to-night, every one attend. Other towns see the good that such an associa tion will do and arc writing for the plans of it. More interest should be taken in it by ourselves. " There is a child in this town only seven months old which is w earing his father's hoes. When he comes out on the street with hisfathers high hat on, booted and "purred, he shall have another "local." We are most happy to state for the information of our patrons that Salisbury has not ceased to be the terminus of the y. N. C, R. R., and that no mixed train is now running bet ween here aud States ville. We were mistaken and glad of it. We have a golden' eagle measuring een tect from tip to tip, shot by N. H. Parks about two miles from town on the new Concord road, last Monday. He don't seem to be hurt much aud we are in oopes that we can tame him and teach u io scream in time to bring him Hxt election. The Municipal Election. The election in this place last Monday, though warmly contested, passed off quiet ly and without an incident to cause heart burnings hereafter. The regularly nomi nated Democratic ticket, as will be seen by the subjoined table, was entirely suc cessful. It is the old board re-elected, a tribute of confidenceand respect, so rich ly earned by their valuable public services during their first term of two years. Those who voted for their re-election did so from a sense of graternl duty, and the result should be and is, highly gratify ing to all concerned. OFFICIAL VOTE. out Prof. W. E.

It has already begun in certain parts of the South and it will spread in all directions. The object of this sketch is not for speculation, but is intended for a more practical purpose; to serve as an index to the leading natural sources of iron in North Caro lina. EASTERN ORE BEDS. The iron ores have a very large range in North Carolina; beginning in the Eastern part of the State we have the so called "bogf ores, which are beds of clayey and sandy brown ore. The first considerable bed of this character is found in Nash county. This material was used during the wars of 1812 and 1861-5, and is said to have a metalifer ous value of 42 per cent, of iron. Other beds of like character occur in Pender and Duplin counties. In the counties of Halifax and Gran ville occurs considerable beds of hema tite. This ore is known as specular, and contains some magnetic grains dissemi nated through the mass. It assays up to 60 per cent, metallic iron, with some phosphorus. At other localities the ore is highly magnetic. All these ores are of remarkable purity and are adapted to the manufacture of steel. CENTRAL ORE BEDS. Coming nearer the centre of the State, the ores of Johnston, Wake, Chatham and Orange counties claim attention. In the first two counties the ores arc limonite, and are not so valuable as the hematites. The Buckhorn mine, near the county line between Chatham and Harnett, is one of the largest deposits in middle North Carolina. It is more than 30 feet thick. The ore is specular, and is saidjo carry a large percentage of manganese "and the capacity to produce spiegeleisen without admixture of other ores."' Be sides this large deposit, there are a num ber of similar deposits, but smaller in size -in the vicinage. There are ako limonites and hematites scattered in vari ous parts of Chatham of more or less value. The Black Band or Ball ore of the coal measures possess merit in a high degree. in these counties, any of which are of suSicient strength to justify working. In Burke and Caldwell counties may be found many valuable beds of limonite. One near Hickory is six feet thick. In Caldwell the deposit on Gun Powder Creek is reported as very large. Iron was made here 35 or 40 years ago. There are outcrops iu Caldwell traceable for several miles in length, and with a thick ness of from one to eight and ten feet. These beds also occur iu McDowell and Watauga counties, and in Mitchell and Ashe. In Mitchell the famous Cranberry ore bank at once claims attention. It is fifteen hundred feet iu length and is from two to eight hundred, feet wide. , The ore is remarkably pure magnetite, and produces a soft tough iron. The product of the Cranberry furnace always brings a price in advance of the market. There are numerous deposits of similar ore in Mitchell and Ashe. Some of the more prominent beds in the latter county have been traced for miles in length. In fact, this whole tramontane region may be termed as iron producing, since not a county is without considerable ore beds. Cherokee is remarkably rich in limonite ores, and the same might be said of other counties. The detail of much of the foregoing may be found in Kerr's Geology of North Carolina, and in other publica tions distributed by the Department of Agriculture. ct I c. r; o -i O :s rc oc D. 5? 3t i J Z i CC -lij p. n A.

In the first place the exhumation was not carried out in a proper way ; not the fault of the doctors who conducted it, but of the wilful 300 persons who crowd ed around iu such a manner that it was almost impossible to do anything and to keep the grave from being filled with strugling men. There should have been a rape stretch ed around the grave to keep the crowd back. No one but a doctor or a careful man should have been allowed to get in the grave and the dirt should have been lift ed out carefully until the skull was reached, then with small instruments carefully handled by a couple of the med ical men the skull could have been lken out whole.

Although her health had been declining for sever! months --he seetm-.l better at times aud no especial uneasiness wa3 . felt by those who saw her daily. The intellect was so clear her interest in the concerns of her household and family so keen that uo one imagined that the tune of her removal from .the thinfra of earth l could be so near. Suddenly called, her breath ceased after a few gasping efforts and she was gone ! Mrs. McXcely's life had been filled with varied ex periences. Many rich blessings had been granted her but she had likewise known many of a woman's keenest sorrows. During the last few years of her life a softness and gen tleness of spirit, a patient endurance of suffer ing and an uncomplaining resignation to the Divine will, had been often observed by those most cognizant of her inner life. In all things she endeavored to recognize the hand of "In finite Lore," and to remember that "whom He loveth He ehasteneth." And when the hour came for her entrance into the rest prepared for God's people, we feel that she entered at once in the "joy of her Lord." May those who saw her virtues strive to imitate her example ! MECKLENBURG "- J ' ' ... .rtjrtJv.' ' . . i , vW- i -'t. gtf ; . WORKS. IRON CHARLOTTE, N. C.

W W Gales, IRON WORKS, There are several seams of this ore from 16 inches to two feet in thickness. The Evans vein near (iulf is a hematite and is 0 feet thick. Ore Hill is the most noted deposit in Chatham. The ore is limonite and hema tite, and there are a number of veins of rather large proportions ten feet aud upwards. This material is easily smelted; taken in connection with the Ball ore. which is a successful flux, admirable con ditions for advantageous irou manufac ture is furnished. The most valuable bank of iron in Orauge is near Chapel Hill. It is adeuse hematite and is from 7 to 25 feet thick. There are several other veins of like character in the county which have the advantage of being in close proximity to the University railroad, which furnishes ample transportation facilities. The iron ores of Montgomery and Randolph counties belong, geologically speaking, to the ranges above described. There arc several workable beds iu these counties. Guilford county is rich iu iron. "One of the most remarkable and persistent ranges of iron ore in the State crosses the county of Guilford in a northeast and southwest direction, passing about ten miles northwest of Greensboro, near Friendship. It extends from the head waters of Abbott's Creek, in Davidson county, entirely across Guilford to Haw River iu Rockingham, a distance of some thirty miles." Tle ore is a titaniferous granular magneffte. There is a second parallel range a short distance west of this, and there is still another belt run ning parallel to the former and three miles from it, called the Highfield or Shaw outcrop. The vein is G feet thick; good ore. In a run of eight hundred yards, there are apparently two hundred thousand tons above water level, in the one six foot bed. These ore beds have not been fully explored, and there is much ground in the county not yet ex amined. WESTERN ORE BEPS. The counties of Gaston, Lincoln and Catawba present a grand range of iron ores, mostly magnetic, with more or less hematite. Prof. G. B. Hanna, of Char lotte, has made a study of these ranges andrtrau supply reliable data. There are a large number of beds ranging from 3 to 10 feet and upwards to 18 aud 20 feet in thickness. These ores have been worked to some extent and with promise for permanent operations iu the future. In au article of this ktud only bare mention of the best known localities cau be made. The leading deposits are known as the Big Ore Bank, Brevard, Robinson. JNior risuu, Forney, Baniuger, Yellow Ridge Bank, Ferguson, jnison and Casiner, aiouoiaiu Ore Bank, Onuuud Ore Bank, and many others of less note. There are probably as many as five furnaces al ready built in this range of iron ores. . The ores of Yadkin, Surry and Utokes 'counties are found alone the foot hill of the Pilot mountain range. In charac ter they are granular and magnetic. These ores are general lv verv nnw . i , ful panning or washing of the dirt around the skull by some practical gold miner would have discovered the silver plate in less than an hour if there had been one. Dr. Ramsay and Wood are entitled to thanks for what they did do. (that's all they get) as they of course were at some expense in the matter, and it could not be expected of them to fur nish appliances and every thing needed in an important exhumation like that. The grave w as opened down to the vault iu tliejnorning, and about 1 o'clock, after the arrival of the West bound train Dr. Ramsay stated to the crowd the object of the exhumation, asking them not to crowd around, that every one should have a chance to see and examine every bone taken out if they wished to. A gentleman from the country then jumped in the grave and with a spade or shovel commenced to throw out the dirt. After a few shovelsful had been thrown out the shovel struck the skull near the place where it was supposed to have beeu trephined and broke it. The pieces were then handed out and the Doctor's fitted them together, but the part that was claimed to have been trephined was missing. A few other bones were found. When it is remembered that the body had been buried over 40 years, no trace of the coffin being left and the bones lying right in the dirt, it will not be surprising that the silver plate (probably as large as a ten cent pieee, if there was any.) was not found. No systematic search was made for it, nothing more than when any person felt so disposed he took a stick and raked around in the red clay in search of it. We could not learn that Mr. Draper had ever said that Marshal Ney's skull had been trephined: he simply wanted the body to bo taken up to see if P. S. Ney's skull had been trcphiucd. We learned from a gentleman present who has been gathering facts for years looking to the identity of P. S. with Marshal Ney, that alter careful search of the records in Austria and France he had never been able to find a record of such an operation performed on Marshal Ney. It is possible that Mr. Draper was trying to identify P. S. Ney with some other person that had been trephined, so as to explode the idea of this being Mar shal Ney. Although to those not present the ex humation will have the effect of shaking what faith they had in it, we venture to say that there was not a pcrsou pres ent who heard thi stories in relation to him told by the old people who had known him in life, and who had been drawn together there, but what went away with a stronger belief than ever that P. S. Ney was the original Marshal Ney. We give below the report of the doctors present and will next week give a short biography of Marshal Ney and also the story in relatiou to Michael Rudolph be ing Marshal Ney.
