Last Thursday afternoon., while men were at work on lhe TliirchCreek bridge, fourteen miles from Salisbury,, a freight train came along, and, not heeding the danger signal, ran into the bridge, break ing it down aud eighteen cars going with it.

Mr Newman reported that three! companies were lookiug for locations for erecting iron furnaces in North Carolina, and he thought by proper encouragement -one of them could be induced to erect a mil lion dollar plant in Salisbury. Thc proper committee was requested to open correspondence with" these companies and find out what encouragement would have to be offered them to have- then? locate here. Rev. F. J.

Man3" a fatal mistake is made by the n valid or tourist sojourning at thc South, in returning to a .Northern heme too early, and encountering the sudden lapse into winter temperature which so ofteu Jj;ee( or a(j marks the spring season. Far bettv a it to adapt one's-self to the change of climate by systematic changes of latii tude, in which gradual approaches rath er thau sudden encounters shall be the rule. To meet these requirements, the Pied mont Air-Line is most happily situated. When the sun shines too brightly and the languor of the warm days of spring begin to tell upon a delicate constitution and suggests a more invigorating temper ature, this great Line offers the beautiful section of Western North Carolina. through which it passes, with a splendid climate, noble scenery, fine hotels, and most excellent transportation facilities. To answer just these needs of the so journer at the move Southern points, Asheville, Hot Springs, Hickory, and other points in this famous "Land of the Sky," invite the tourist or invalid to test their attractions and finish a winter's so journ under bright skies, amid the no blest, mountain scenery east of the Rockies," breathing a pure, life-giving and life-renewing air, surrounded by the creaturecom forts of well-kept hotels and transported under conditions of highest refinement xf railway travel. The completion of the railroad from Wiustou io Wilkesboro is no longer qtiestiou of doubt. It may be regarded as a fixed fact; and itemains for those whom itr may concern, to estimate the probable effects which may result from the establishment of such a road. In doing. this, it is apparent that Wilkes boro and Wilkes county will be moie immediately and materially benefitted by it tliau any other section. It will en hance the Value of their real estate both in town and adjacent country; and it will create a market forlurpl us lands by in troducing home-seekers to a high, healthful and productive region of coun try, abounding with all the important resources for the attainment of wealth and comfort. It will relieve her farmers, lumber men, millers, miners, distillers and others of seeking distant markets' by the slow and costly method of hauling with wagons and teams. The benefits to Wilkes will be almost innumerable; and next to her. the railroad compauy. which will come in to do the work which she could'only perform indifferently and at heavy cost. But the effects of this enterprise will not end with Wilkes and the railroad company. They will reach other and distant communities. -One effect will be to cut dtTa .large part of the wagon trade which now 'comes to Statesville and Sal isbury from lhe western counties, and concentrate it on Wilkesboro. No doubt it will benefit Winston to some extent, bat not so much as it does now; for while the wagon trade from those coun ties which goes to her is diffused, among her merchants r.nd people, commission merchants .will bulK tne business on the railroad, and send it forward beyond Winston to more distant markets. The loss to Statesville and Salisbury will be a clean loss, for the railroad will divert the trade away from them entirely and es tablish new business and social relations from which they call derive no benefit whatever. We advert to the subject as One which concerns Salisbury and may properly engage the attention of her Chamber of Commerce -one to talk about and act on if action of any -sort will be of service. Death of Mrs. Alexander. Charlotte Chronicle. Mrs. Vralter L. Alexander died ou Sunday morning at her residence in this city. She leaves a husband and three very young children. Mrs.' Alexander was Miss Minnie Ram say of Salisbury. During the five or six years of her mar ried life, which she spent in Charlotte, she made a great number of friends here, who attested their love and esteem by showing her every attention durintr her illness, and paying the last sad tribute at her . rave. Her remains were interred in beatiful Elmwood yesterday afternoon. The funeral services were held at the First Presbvterian church at 5 o'clock. ; Dr. A. W. Miller preached an able and impressive sermon, in which he alluded most touchingly to the young mother whose life on earth was an example of Christian love and charity, and whose spirit had taken its flight to a better world beyond. The pall bearers were: M. D. L. Mc- Lcoa, W. B. Nisbet, J. W. Stephens, K. A. Dunn, T. B. Seigle, W. W. Ward, Ji E. Cochrane and J. R. Holland. County Locals. By our Correspondents. MILLERTOWN. Under this heading we received last Friday morning a badly written letter which the author Urgently requested should be published. It is contrary to the practice of all newspapers to publish a letter which does not bear the name of the author. This is so well known by newspaper.rcaders that they seldom send letters to editors without signing their names. The reasons for it are also gen erally well understood, and it is not nec essary, therefore, to repeat them here. The letter sent us contains some things that would. not be published if we knew the author, but in the main it is uaolyec tionaTile. Watchmajc. v, have came down to us, it is readily trac ed to pagan origin. In olden times the Germans held an anuual feast to Ostera, the goddess of spring. The name in Anglo-Saxon sig nifying Easter, April was known as the Easter month, or the time for the awak ening of spring after the sleep of winter. This custom was brought into England by thc Saxons, aud the early church find ing it impossible to abolish it, somewhat modified the ceremonies, giving them, as far as possible, a religious significance. There is a beautiful analogy between this revival of nature aud the resurrec tion of man, which places beyond .dis pute the certainty of a future existence aud of an immoral something, that chan ges in form and condition . but lives through all eternity. The plant grows, bears seed and .(ties. liie sun rises, warms it into life. It hursts its bonds and comes forth more beautiful or less, acc 1 1 ng tothe d igree of perfection to which it uas attained during, its previous existeuce. So with mamiile. runs : his little span, exhausts his vitality, and lies down to rest.

While the churches were all agreed as to why Easter should be celebrated, there was much differeuce of opinion as to the time, some claiming that it should be on the same day that the Jews kept their passover, and others, remembering that Christ rose on Sunday, held it to boon the Sabbath following. This controversy was not settled until A. D. 325. It was Coustantine who brought the subject be fore the Ecumenical council of Nice, and since then Ea ter has been celebrated every where on the same day, the first Sunday after the full moon which hap pens on or next after the 21st of Mai clvH aid it the lull moon comes upon hunday, the Sunday after. In early days, Easter was introduced by fasting one day wily Good Friday: it was then extended to forty hours, the time that Christ laid in the tomb; and finally to forty days, the term of his temp tation in the wilderness. This Lenten seasou is not observed except by the Ro mish and Episcopal churches, although the festival following is acknowledged by all denominations. The primitive Christians saluted each other on this day witii "Christ is risen," and the person ad dressed returned: "Christ is risen indeed, and hath appeared to Simon," a custom still kept tip in the Greek churches. In the dawn ot Christianity these cere monies were of the simplest character, and it was not until the fourth century that they were attended with any thing like pomp, .or .display: Constautiifc, naturailv fond of parade, instituted vigils or nisrht watches on Easter eve. until midnight. The customary tapers disap peared and huge pillars of wax took their places. Norwere these 'confined to the churches alone, they were placed ail over the city, aud in such numbers, that the brilliancy of the night was made to rival that of thedav. Sunday was mark ed by imposing ceremonials, and it was made an occasion ot universal rejoicing. Of the ancient customs retained in our modern festivities, the most popular and generally practiced is that of giving col ored eggs or egg-shaped presents, the egg being symbolical of. awakening nature or of the bursting forth of life. The week before Easter, Passion week, is known in Paris as the "feast of eggs." The observers of Lent eat uo flesh but make their diet almost entirely upon eggs: every body gives every body else an egg shaped article, and Paschal eggs are displayed in every shop window and hawked by every street vendor. A wri ter passing th.ough the city at this sea son thus describes it: "One would think that thc once imperial eaiilc of France had summoned all the birds of the air to come -o Paris, build their nests in shop windows, and there deposit their egg.-: tor go where you wilt, Jook into whatever shop you fancy, there you see eggs from the .ize of a caraway comfit, Imcfa as is found in the ' nest, of a hum ming bird, to one as large as a bowl; the Y.-M. C. A. lecturers have awakened the association here. Out of twenty seven candidates for the ministry eight have decided to be missionaries, if the way oe ciear. The last inter-society debate of the season was held last Friday evening. remaps us ueciaeci success was due to the encouraging, tjie inspiring, presence of twenty-four fair visitors. These rep resented the beauty and attractiveness of the cities of Charlotte and Statesville, of Mooresville and especially of the Statesville and Charlotte Female Insti tutes. Had the Faculty not kindly abolished "Campus rules," thc students could hardly have been reconciled to even nominal study while our neighbor ing sister colleges were euioviur an Easter holiday from Thursday till Tues day. . Dr. Barriuger expects a large summer school in medicine here this summer. He is an able and genial instructor, and if he should decide to leave North Caro lina in the autumn, as he contemplates, the State, as well as Davidson College, will lose heavily.

At the commenctmint of the anthem the bishop would throw an ess to the choris ters, who would pass it back and forth j to each other during the singing, keeping time to the music. On Monday the clergy indulged in a game of ball, using! eggs instead of rubber, and in this novel sportmen, women and children joined promiscuously. The colored or painted egg, with inscription and design, for the benefit of the sentimentally inclined, was superseded later by the valentine. But as an emblem and tradition it is still popular with the young, and will con tintie to.be for many jears to come. WhilaEaster is celebrated, in one way or another by Christian people every where, Rome is still foremost in the pomp and significance of its ceremonials.

If there was no such tiling sis credit in merchandise, there would not be so much difference in prices. It is by reason of credit that the extremes of hiyh and low prices are found in merchandise. The man- who sells on time must sell high so as to cover the losses sustained from those who never pay. He must even make the man who pays cash pay big profits for the reason he must relv for success on those who pay. , . - . . The Efeater the extent of credit the higher the prices, for the risk is propor tionately increased. Take thc risk all aivay from merchandise, reduce it to dollars and prices go away down. Now the" extreme of panics, of failures and ot compulsions to realize spot cash at anv cost is alt brought alxut bv reason of credit. So that the system of credit brings to the masses all the evils of high priced merchandise, making them pay double often what they ought.
