Onr SherilT received a telegram from J. N Morgan, of Old Fort, on Fiiday last, sla ting that a mule had been sto'.eu from him the night before, giving a discrip tiou of it and asking the Siierilf to be on the lookout for such an animal. In consequence of this notification Mr. Rich, D. S., kept his eyes open and caught a gentleman of color ruling leis iirely through our streets last Saturday morning on just such a mule as the one described. On a close examination, however, the mule proved to be an old acquaintance of tlie Sb r 11'. He a relensed and went his way, much to the relief of the rider and the dUappoint meutof the crowd gathering to 'see the fun.' Important Lavd Sali. Mr. James Allen. Commissioner, advertise for sale on the 4th day of March ensuing the lands belonging to the estate of Henry Roland, deceased, situated in Yancey county.

Yancey -oi.u ty is equal to any in the world for stock raising and fruit culture, and as soon as those branches of industry are a lit'le more developed wiil rank among the most prosperous.

Utilize the Cfimk. Crime and criminals are on the increase in tlie country. To punish these . inade quately as is often done. Involves ex penses, and the ordinary way of making it all expense to the people and no In come is getting burdensome. We invite t te attention of county authorities to the following law passed by the last Leg islature. All parties sentenced to jail in any county, should be worked on county roads. A regular system of work could be arranged, so that during the whole year, when parties are in con fiiicmeut, the roads could be kept in tol. erable, if not good repair. Here is the law : That the commissioners of the several counties of this State,within their res pective jurisdictions, or such other coun ty authorities therein as may be estab lished by law, and also the Mayor and luteiidaiit of the several cities and towns of the State, shall have power to provide, nidcr such rules as they may deem best, f jr the employment i n.he public stieeb, public highways, public woiks. or other labor for individuals or corporations of all persons imprisoned in the county Jails of their respective counties, cities and towns, upon conviction of any crime, or misdemeanor, or who may be committed to Jail for failure to enter in to bond for keeping the peace or lor good behavior, and who fails to pay all the costs which he is adjudged to pay or to give good and sutiicient security therefor; 'fovided, lwwtver, That such prisoner or convict shall not be detained beyond the time fixed by the judgment of the Court; Provided further. That the amount realized from hiring out of such persons shall be credited to them for the tine and bill of costs in all cases of con viction. Sec. 2. But said convicts, and persons so imprisoned shall, at all times, be un der the supervision and control, as to their government and discipline, of the Shciiti or his deputy of the county iu which be was m convicted and impris oiied, and the Shetilf or hisdeputj, shall lie uVemeu a Slate oltic-r lor the p.u poseof this Act.

Money is getting easier iu anticipation of the early com pletion of the railroad. A company of gentlemen beaded by a chief from Missouri are shortly to visit the county to ascertain if a joint stock Otter Company would be a feasi ble project. The plan is to buy the riglitof trapping on both sides of Mud Creek from Htiideisonville to where the creek empties in the French Broad. It is thought by old trappers that if a cap ital of $10,000 can be raised enough ot ters and must-rnts can betaken in 12 months to pay a handsome dividend.

M, Davics, Esq., has left ns. to lo cate in Waynefville, where he will open a schojl. M ill is a good fellow, and we wish him all success. Privileged Students. The last Hiilsboro Recorder contains the follow ing paragraph : Under the Act of Assembly, the University is authorized to receive and educate one student from each county free of all charge for tuition, servant hire, and perhaps some other minor charges. Only IS counties in the State have availed themselves of the privilege Why not all? And why cannot all the counties adopt a suggestion we made some time since to provide for the board of one student from each county at the county charge, selection to be made by eompeftive examination Shall we pause for a reply, and how long? The suggestion of the iiecorder is a most opportune one. W hy cannot Bun combe, indeed every county, keep one student at the University all the time? It will only cost his board, as the Uni versity provides all other expenses. Can't our county authorities take steps at once to secure to some poor but prom ising boy a good education? A Name. Dr. Kennedy's suggestion of a name for the new Conference attracts attention as all gofid sugges tiuis gem rally do. The Charlotte Ob' server thinks it should be called "Char lotte" by all means, but that city is on the outskirts, and besides, we are not so certain that it will be so much larger than Asheville in a few years. Our neighbor 'over the way,' the Morganton Blade, says : '"It is sometimes said there is noth ing in a name, but this looks like there are those who think differently. The Citizex thinks a "significant name which readily identifies the territory embraced in it,'' would be Asheville ! We dare not suggest the name of Mor ganton, for obvious reasons Therefore we look to see the geographical center and conclude, if for a town, call it "Ma rion." If for a river, ' atawba," which is the largest iu the bounds. If for a mountain, "Blue Ridge." for similar reasons. We would avoid a name which might seem too local. The Recent Hoiirible Murder in Buhke. - The Blade says : ' Hoke C Set ivst. aged about 22 years, a citizen of Union county, was arrested at bis 'at her's house near Monroe, last Thursday and lodged in the jail in this p ace, charged with the murder of the woman and child whose remains were found near Hickory as related in last week's issue. He had a bearing be fore Esou'ues Aiken and Wilson at Icard last Thursday and was committed for trial at our Superior Court to be held the 2d Monday of March next. We re frain from gi.ing the evidence against him, as we do not desire to create a prt judiee against a man whose life is at stake. It is charged Ihat he left home last March with a Mrs. Stevenson, (a widow) and her litt'e girl, traveling through the country in a buggy, and at Newton was married to the woman, and that be left them in the grave above alluded to, and returned to bis home in Union. God grant that be may be able to produce the woman, bis slep-daugh-ter, and his own child, (for we learn that lie would be a father if his wife were vet living) and thereby prove him self innocent of a crime too horrible to contemplate." Soap and Cheese. Our Brother Amnions of tlie Bapt'wt Gleaner, is fond of cheese. One dav last week be went i-.ito one of our stores and proceeded to cut a 'bit of a piece.' of, as he thought, cheese; and was just about to send it to the place where all good cheeses go, when a friend suggested it was soap. It was some of McUiuiM-y's. and was bard and pu tt v, just, like nice cheese W don't know whether Bio. A. wanted thus to 'clean his uis-ioiice,' like Bro Eve of the Viouetr, or not. At all events McGhnsev's soap is good for many things, yet, be has failed to put it down on Ids circular as a good substitute for cheese. Is your life woilh 2 cents?

Sheep Statistics in'N. ( The Auditor's report shows the total num ber of sheep of the State to be -395,803,. of which number li3 counties, ifcross the fentre of the State, including GranvilH- and Surrey on the Virginia border, and Richmond and Mecklenburg on the South Carolina line, contain 192,833, largely more than all the obhev c 'unities. , Buncombe nud Ashe are the ouly large sheep producing counties outside of the above named district, and they are res pectively Xo. 4 and 5, the three largest sheep growing counties 1 e ng in the central portion of the State. There should be a half million of sheep west of the Blue Kidge alone, and would be very many more if it were not for dogs. Will Col. Polk tell us the result of his inves tigation of dog statistics? It will doubt less be an interesting item for our peo- ' pie to consider. We wish then to ..see " what an immense non-prvdi ciug, food consuming nuisance they are keeping up. Man v of our be.-t tarmers have told . us ia the past year that they have had to give up their sheep altogether, on ac count of ilogs. Bankrupt Notice. His Honor, Judge Dick has just issued the follow ing important notice: Upon application, it is hereby Or dered that Assignees in Bankruptcy 1m this District who have not made reports of the estates in their bauds as required by law, do, or. or before the first Mon day in March next, report to the respec tive Registers in Bankruptcy having charge of the cases, the property, real and personal, received in each caw;; the disposition of the same; the amount of money or evidence of debt or secu rity received for the same; how the pro ceeds of bankrupt's estates have been disposed of, whether paid out, deposi ted in bank, or held by the Assignee;: and if paid out, to whom and under what order.
