The Colonel. wLo was long a friend and patron of the Watchman, has its hearty congratula tions accompanied by the wish that he willjive to see many inore happy birth days. When a good and worthy man and Democrat is a candidate for a positiou, it is alw ays a pleasure for the Watch man to heartily endorse hi in, and this is precisely how we feel iin regard to the Lcandidacy of Mt.

Mrs. Rebecca Martin, daughter of tho late John T. McKinno i, who died so tragically a few years iigo, died' very sud denly a few days ago; supposed to have been from heart disease.

We learn that the water is to be taken out of the Lovvder old mine, near Albe marle,and a test run made o tlve ores. It may not be. generally known, but the gold at this mine is the finest in the State, worth about 99c a pwt.
