We learn from the county Register, Mr. Woodson, that there has been a falling off of about 75 per cent., or three out of four. And this; it is believed, Jsduc to several causes, the most gratifying'of all being the belter condition of the people. The last year'? crop was a good one and enabled the farming community to pay 'up, and in most cases, to have a food supply left for the present year. Next to that perhaps, more attention was given to provide for the necessities of the home; and form, in pitching last year's crop, i But no doubt many have opened their eyes ;to-tbc fu gitive false good of giving mortgages, and deliberately resolved to quit that mode of business. The change & not due, in a great measure to the rcfuso-ijof merchants to take mortgages, for : there have been some of them. wilHu' to do so; but, to their credit it may be stat'ed (.hat' they hare advised .against it J and in'many cases dissuaded applicant from continu- - w r - il i - ing me practice. . x Whatever causes have gratifying chauge, it is produced this none the less pleasing to the "Wah-nap.;'" which has constantly sought to break down the mortgage system as delusive and danger ous to those who practice it. There is no surer joad to ultimate bankruptcy, and n( speedier way for a man to enslave himself. ! Zlelican Zlan. "In Ways that are dark and tricks that are vajni jj ' .

A Spartanburg .correspondent of the Charleston New aid Courier says of the meetings being held by Mr. Pearson in that place: "Two! weeks ago the Rev. R. G. Pearson, . the evangelist, began his meetings here. It was cold and raining. At 11 o'clock there were about fifty cold look3pg peop'e iu the pews and four persons in the choir. Such was the be ginning. To-day, when it has been" rain ing and the streets are flooded with mud and the sidewalks are just as bad as Spartanburg sidewalk can be; a half an hour before services the laxgl church: and Sunday-school room were (crowded, ' and they confined to come until it was literally packed; and then many had to go away. Strangers, town people, coun try people, all sorts and conditions of folks, were present. They did not come to hear a big sermon, for they were as sured they would be disappointed if they expected that. They knew they would hear no flights of eloquence, no descrip tion of heaven and the judgment, no quotations from ; the philosophers and poets, exhibition of man's wisdom. For an hour this large crowd gave their pro found attention to a Bible reading on 'confession. It was plain, simple, clear, convincing. It did more good to the congregation than the most eloquent sermon from the biggest doctor of divinity in the State. After the reading he called on those who wished to make a . public profession to give him their hand, and about twenty three, whohad backslidden, went up and acknowledged the fact and renewed their professions. It has certainly been a very wonderful meeting." i Health of the County. Report of Dr. J. J. Summerell on the health of Rowan county, for the month of December, from the Bulletin of the N. C. Board of Health : Colds, cattarrhal fever, typhoid fever, pneumonia and bronchitis have prevailed in several portions of the county. The reports from twelve doctors give 5 cases scarlet fever, 7 of diphtheria, 14 of typhoid fever. There have been no efforts, eitht r public or private, to remove sources of disease, and to make the; county more healthful, or to teach the people how to make their homes more healthful and orderly. Still, the Supt. is happy to re port that the general health is good, and from the abundant crops made, there is little likelihood of there being much want or destitution in our county this winter. Of course, there are still some at our poor house, mostly the aged and infirm people, who from long continued disease and the infirmity of age, have ceased to make a support, and are taken to the poor-house to end their days. There is no sickness among the prisoners in jail, except colds and a few cases of syphilis. This, latter disease is much more common among the colored people than when they were slaves. They are generally treated only long enough to cure the primary sore, and the disease runs into its secondary and tertiary stage, and finally ends in pauperism. Many of them, both black and white, are admitted to the poor house to be treated. The public buildings arc in pretty good sanitary condition. Water is beiner introduced into the iail now. and the sewerrleading from the jail are to be put in also. With plenty of water and water closets, connected with a good sys tem of sewerage, many of the sources . of disease will be removed. Thieves. The Concord Standard has- the follow ing to say about the thefts in the lower portion of this county, for which five per sons are now in our jail : ; Reliable Information comes from No. 5 that five persons have been arrested and are now in Salisbury jail charged with burglarizing the store house of Mr. Jas. Cline in No. 5, and that of Mr,- Henry Graber, of South Rowan. The names of the parties arrested are Wiliiam and Henry, Roseman, twoj Newsom brothers and Alf Hess. The sister of the Newsom bovs is also arrested as an accoinnlice. It is said that there is an organized band Of sixteen implicated in the lawless acts of that vicinity. Another informant tells us that for months past many citizens of South Rowan-and north Cabarrus have been loo ing by petty thefts, and were greatly ex ercised as to Mho were the trespassers. Gradually the perpetrators became bold er, A few weeks ao Mr. tthar ey Pow less and his neighbor Thorp ton had 60 cmcxens stolen. Jas. ujine ana jienry Graber's stores were broken into, and the night alWi Mr. Monroes Ketner butcher ed, the theives entered J his mil V poured jthe wheat out'of the sacks, then proceed fed to pry open his meat, house,' put hi meat in the sacks and carried it off on lis own horses. .'. j 1 : At another time Bill Roseman and his pals : visited a very aged lady, (Mrs. Adam Roseman) who lived alone with a hired girl, broke open ljer smoke honsi and finding nothing proceeded to ransack her kitchen, notwithstanding her expos tulations. The girl slipped up staire and blew a horn, a signal in that country oi distress, but before the neighbors arrived the thieves had left, first threatening the old lady whh death if she exposed them. The . whole country I was aroused by these depredations and 1 the result is a part of them are baggedj MINING DEPARTMENT. T. K. BUUXKIl l.DtTOIt. EALEICtll Vt C.

D. Geologist and Mineralogist. "rtACStt NO. 2." I Tli is mine is located in a broad,: swam py nil.of many acres, ,whicu nn been opened to a width, f at bottom, of about eighteen feet. jThe: gold-beariAg grit is an average of tenMnches in thickness, resting on a betjj of hlueclayjargely com posed of decomposed epidote. Tle over lay is an average: of about ten fect in depth, presenting where it rests upon the grit, a deposit of decomposed vegetable matter; then, above, loose sands, clay and soil. At distances of about three feet apart, I took from this mine five pans of grit, (one from each point.) ! These all showed goldj giving in pan a decided streak. i ! ' A "clean up" was effected at Mine Nt.. 2, on the 15th, three daysafter my ar rival at the mines, and was highly satis factory, considering the amount of gravel moved. j The force of workmen was then moved to another point, and began operating "Placer No. 3." At this point the over lay was found to be about twelve feet in j - thickness, and j of character similar to that of No. 2. In order to get space for sluicihg, some gravel previously worked by the early miners had to be removed. This showed an astonishing amount of gold partly amalgamated with mercury, lost in the crude process employed in earlier times. When the undisturbed grit was reached it showed remarkably rich in the pan, with indications of improve ment from day to day, as the gluchat the point where work was begun suddenly spread out below, disseminating the gold more widely. Above, with the narrower concentration of the grit, this mine can not fail to furnish good returns for labor spent upon it. More men, and an addi tional hydraulic, could be worked at this point profitably for a lon time. The first "clean up'M-wbieh was eflected un der my supervision included only a small amount of gravel moved, and apart of that had been previously worked, with only two sluice boxes in position but was eminently satisfactory, yielding nearly thirty pennyweights of gold. Mine "No 1" nOt now in operation possibly worked out I did not examine for gold; but at ibis point many small crystals and fragments of gem material, including the various corundum gems, beryl, and rutilatd quartz, are found in thcgravel from previous washings; : and I anr informed hy the superintendent that some good crystals of emerald were found here during the working of this mine. ' The examination of the various test pits manifests that you have a large area (more than a mile! in length) of payable placer mining still untouched and await ing development.?! I examined thirteen gold-bearmg quartz veins which have been uncovered upon your property. These all have a north east and south-west trend. The number given docs nci include some small thready veins to which my attention was called. From these thirteen' veins I took rock for examination. These samples gave me a yield of goTd running from $4.50 to $13 per ton, averaging over $8. If this rock can be mined and milled for $2.25 per ton, which seems a liberal esti mate, then the poorest of these veins could be profitably worked, if the same percentage of gold, as shown by the out crop, should continue. The quartz is eminently granular, and the sulphurets well decomposed, which makes the mil ung easy, upon tne nest oi tnese veins the Terry, and Nos. 1. 2, and 31 would recommend the sinking of shafts. These ought not to cost exceeding $300 each, and the quartz removed ought to much more than meet this outlay. These veins have a thickness of from six to eighteen inches. At a short distance from the house of the superintendent of the mines I found that a shaft had been sunk a few feet upon a most remarkable vein of massive lime iron-alumina garnet var. pyrope of great purity and exceeding hardness. The vein at this point is about eighteen inches iu width. The same mineral is abundant ly distributed aloug a line through Jthe Upton tract of land on the west side of Muddy creek, upon the surface of he ground, in large uroKen masses, rrom its extreme hardness and purity it affords a most excellent material for the produc tion of good emery. It possesses the rich, reddish brown coldr so much sought in emery, and much of Which is artifi cially produced. Its hardness is fully equal to that of the impure varieties of corundum commonly used to produce emery, if not superior to tbem. It seems to me that the miniog and crushing of this material, which j appears to be in abundance, must become a lucrative branch of your mining. It is the hardest garnet I have ever i examined, ranking fully eight in the scale of ten. ." Money."
