Failure of an Insurance Company
The Baltic Fire Insurance Company, which
failed day before yesterday began busi
ness in 1864 with a capital stock of 2UU,
(100, and from tho start baa been unsuc
cessful, never having paid a dividend, and
each year showing a larger expenditure
than wvoipt. Of conr.-o its collapse was
luit a pitstion of time. The attention of
ill. Barnes tluvsuiKirintendent of the in
Mjr'mco department, having been called to
iki -oii. lit ion, Ji wan induced to make an
fxauiiiuilinn of its affairs, which resulted
,,i tli iliKcloHoro of a deficiency of over
:,sO,(NH, and he immediately issued an or
der that the stockholders should make this
amount good, or wind up the affairs of tho
company. This they refused to do, the
fctock having been unproductive for five
ears;and the company almost entirely
dependent upon tho brokers for patronage
they concluded it the wisestcourse to wind
up tho affairs of the company and retire
from the field. N. Y. World.
Tfce August Eclipse.
The Riversido Magazine for August has
for a leading 'illustration a tinted repre
sentation of the appoaranca of the earth
flul sky at the time of tho total obscura
tion of the sun in the eclipse of August 7th.
rpuu the letterpress description we take
tL.i following sketch of this most wonder
ful sight:
For the convenience of such of our
readers as live within the belt of country
referred to on tho fourth page of this num
ber, where will be witnessed on the 7th
iustant the total eclipse of the sun, we
give a short description of the phenomena
to be expected. Perhaps some may have
sufficient presence of mind to make brief
notes of what they see. If so, we shall bo
happy to receive the results of such obser
vations for comparison, and possible publi
cation in a future number. As legards the
appearances under the heads three aad
live, a spy-glass or small telescope will bo
necessary to reveal them to satisfaction.
1. When the sun is inoro than three
fourths hidden by the dark disk of the
moon a perceptible gloom is thrown on all
the landscape around. Soon after, tho
fcky appears to descend; the horizon to con
tract; the temperature of the air falls; birds
cease their singing; flowers close; an un
earthly greenish and redish light is im
parted to portions of the sky ; a sudden
darkness ensues; and everything wears a
mysterious and gloomy aspect.
2. Immediately before the last trace of
the sun's disk disappears, tho awful shad
ow of tho moon iu the air may be detected
rapidly approaching from the west liko a
dark column or a sombre cloud. To wit
ness this impressive sight care must be
exercised, lest in the excitement of the
moment tho swiftly-approaching shadow
be unheeded.
.'J. Tho last thread of light from the sun's
disk sometimes appears to separate into
little grains or beads before its total dis
appearance. This phenomenon has re
ceived tho name of "liaily's Bead's,"
from the noted astronomer who lirst wit
nessed it.
4. Instantly on the extinction of the sun
will be seen tho grandest feature of the
eclipse, tho corona, or crown of light, issu
ing on all sides apparently from tho purple-black
disk of the moon, though in re
ality from tho sun. It is the atmosphere
of tbo sun rendered visible by the absence
of tho overpowering sunlight. As the
light is da.zliugly white, a piece of smoked
glass will enablo you to survey it without
tlie inconvenience which might other vi.-'.e
arise
5. In the corona, and issning also npp:
reutly from the dark moon, there will ap
pear several rose-colored flames projection
beyond thu gloomy disk, perhaps a tenth
of the diameter of the moon. They, too, be
long to tho sun, aud are demonstrated by
the spectroscope to be incandescent Itydro
itii. With every eclipse they vary in eiz
number, shape, position nod depth of color.
i. Plauets and largo stars are often no
ted during total eclipsos by thosn who have
previously studied their positions on a eo
leHtial map. A3 tho darkness hardly ex
ceeds that of a moonlight night, they aro
not always readily found iu tho two or
three minutes of j loom that attend the en
lire obf"cur.itio:i of tho nun. liy a little
find i' tlio.nmp nt tho commencement of
his number, one may be able to recognize
the most conspicuous planets and stars
that will bo visible.
When tho nun reappears tho phenome
non of r.aily'a Roads should be again look-
d for this time on the right Bide of the
laoon'u ili.sk. The awful shadow will after
ward be neon sailing rapidly away in the
air to the eastward. Then follow the
cbangen of color in the sky and landscape,
the rising of the thermometer, and a gen
ti ul awakening of Nature, and the wonder
ful exhibition is over.
lie ueral Grant a Radical
Washington, July 30. Among the visi
tors at the White House to-day was a gen
tleman who, in conversation with the Presi
dent, broached tho subject of politics in
Mississippi and tho Dent movemont in that
fctato. The President was reminded of tho
conilicting reports in relation to his feel
ings and views upon that question, and
that it was asserted that he had already
given his adhesion to Judge Dent. The
President replied to his visitor (who is my
informant) substantially that the patronage
of the Administration would not bo cast in
favor of Judge Dent, as the party that
supported him was believod to be inimi
cal to tho llepublican party of the country.
In the course of conversation the Presi
dent took occasion to express regret that
so many good Republicans were found act
ing with men who he believed failed to givo
a genuine and hearty support to the Re
publican party and the measures of the
Administration. He does not believo there
is any issue ia Mississippi which should
cause a division in the Republican ranks
iu that State, and as between tho party
supporting J sulge Dent and his opponents
he favors the latter as being the true rep
resentatives of tho principles of his admin
istration. The President also talked very freely
upon Virginia politics. Ho seems satis
fied with Colonel Walker's election, and
has confidence in his integrity. He thinks,
also, there is a fair prospect of the union
of the Wells and Walker elements, and has
"pnonbtof tho thorough reconstruction
of the State. It is inferred from what was
said that the Administration is on tho side
of Stokes in Tennessee and Davis in Texas,
and that when Secretary Boutwoll wrote
the letter to Stokes, which has been so
much commented on, he simply reflected
the views of the Administration.

A Pr.0BAr.LE Fatal Affbay Onk Man
Seriously Stabs Another in an Affbay.
We lerrn with regret of an affray which
occurred at the residence of G. Pittard,
Esq. , near Gaston, on Friday night last,
resulting in the severe and probable fatal
wounding of one of the parties engaged
therein. It seems that a number of
young people had been spending the
night in the gaitics of the dance, and
when about to break up at a late hour in
tho morning from some cause some words
passed between Mr. Jesse Pittard, Jr.,
and It. M. King, Esq., of Littleton. The
two, with their friends, repaired a
short distance from the houso to settle
the dispute, and while talking the
matter over, the lie passed from Mr.
Pittard to Mr. King, whereupon
tho latter before he could be prevented by
the bystanders, and indeed before it was
known that ho had drawn a weapon, it be
ing in tho night, drew a knife and inflicted
several serious cut3 upon the person of Mr.
Pittard, one thrust being across the bowels
laying them bare, another thrust being in
the region of tho heart, and still another
being somewhere in the back. The two
were at this juncture separated, when it
was discovered that Mr. Pittard had been
severely cut. He was conveyed to the
house, attention given him, and we under
stand his condition is by no means favora
ble as death may ensue, tho opening across
his bowels having caused a protrusion of a
portion of the entrails.
Complaint was made before Magistrate
Larkins of this place, against Mr. King,
and a warrant for his arrest issued, but we
have not heard of his being arrested.- He
has been aoting as Deputy Sheriff in the
upper end of the county. These are the
foots in tho case na far as we have beard
them, and we of course can give no opin
ion as to who was in fault.
The wounded man is a son of our es
teemed fellow-citizen, Mr. Jesse Pittard,
Sr., who resides in the neighborhood of
Pittard's store. -
P. S. Since writing the above, we have
heard direct from Mr. Pittard. He was
doing well on Monday night, and there is
a strong hope of his recovery. Ho received
two severe cuts, neither of them, however,
penetrating the bowels, one of them rang
ing from the upper portion of the left
breast across the stomach, catting to the
hollow, and inflicting a most ngly wound ;
the other striking higher up and nearer the
shoulder-blade, making also a bad wonnd,
but neither is considered necessarily dan
gerous. Tho lick upon the back was only
slight.
The difficulty, it seems, commenced in
jest, tho parties having been good friends
previously, and the whole affair is to be
deeply regretted. Mr. King regrets it
deeply himself, and avows, his determina
tion to submit to the demands of the law
for tho offense cnmmiiM.

7 , 't " '
' , - : . . ;
Washington, August 1. Ex- Sopervisor
Noah, of Tennessee, who is now here, brings
some additional information in relation to
the campaign in that State.' His opinion
is that Senter - will be. elected by from
20,000 to 40.00Q majority, and, .'although
the Legislature will be democratic or con
servative he does not think the fftalei is
wholly lost to the republican, party. He
says the federal officeholders were almost
unanimous in the support of Senter until
Secretary Bontwell's letter was published.
They looked upon that as an intimation
that they were expected to vote for Stokes.
Thev are somewhat indimat . over the let-
Uer, and think they should Lave been al
lowed to decide for themselves, especially
as the contest was between two avowed re
publicans. The fight for the Senatorship !will be
very lively, but it is as yet impossible to
gnessatthe result. Mr. Noah does pot
think it improbable that. a republican may
bo elected; he is certain ihat cx-l'resident
Andrew Johnson has no chance. . His
greatest opposition comes from Neil S.
Brown and tho old line whigsr. Emerson
Etheridge, who will be elected to the State
Senate, will also be a candidate for the
United States Senate, but the republicans
will hold the balance of power. Edmund
Cooper, who was Assistant Secretary ,of
the Treasury under Mr. Johnson, will al?o
be in the State Senate, but he will not
support his former patron. Mr. J ohnson
is very anxious to come back to Congress,
but the opposition to him is too strong, it
is thought ' ,
Mr. Noah says that some time ago Mr.
Stokes was offered the V. S. Senatorship
if he would withdraw from the gubernato
rial contest, but ho declined, and to this is
attributed the present disorganized state of
affairs. It is also urged against Stokes
that he had declared himself opposed to
the extension of the suffrage in East Ten
nessee, while in the middle counties he
wanted, to extend it to all who might ask
for it. As to the future condition of the
Stato, Mr. Noah thinks that when all the
noise and confusion incident to the section
has died away, the old whigs will fail to
agree with the democrats, but will fall into
the republican ranks, and he believes that
a moderate republican administration can
hold the State.
A Lover Killed by a Needle in
Hands of His Mistress.
the
Attempted Snleide of the Yunng L.U. iy.
From the Nashville (Tenn. ) Times, July 7.
A young gentleman named Joseph White,
a very respectable, industrious, quiet,
good-looking fellow, of about eighteen
years of age, -and a resident of German
town, went to South Nashville Saturday
night to visit his lady-love, a Miss Barnes.
He had been frequently to visit her before
at various times. They were engaged to
be married. He found her in the parlor
sewing, as a proper young girl should be.
She was anxious to finish the article, and
therefore concluded not to throw it aside
when he entered, particularly as he com
plimented her on her pretty appearance,
with her beautiful face bending over her
work, and her slender Angers flying, as she
plied the stitches with ns much graco and
rapidity as other girls display when skim
ming over the keys of a nasty piano. He
took his seat beside her. They chatted
very gaily. After waiting' a few minutes,
which to him seemed hours, he beoame im
patient, and longed to imprint a kiss upon
her lips. With tho view of carrying out
this design he let his' arm circle her waist
furtively, and as he was drawing her close
to himself she objected to being disturbed
until her little work was finished ; but he
insisted. She made va motion to shove
him off, as girls aro said to, generally.
This motion proved fatal to her happiness
and to his life. He became impetuous,
and drawing her to him with much vio
lence, the needle, which was caught in her
thimble, got between them, the point
towards his heart it ' enter d ; and a3 he
was about to imprint a kiss of love upon
her lips his own became ashy pale. His
vigorous grasp relaxed. Ho sickened, fell
back upon the sofa quite helplees. The
young lady was much alarmed, and ran
for assistance. The family all ran into the
room and proceeded to pen his shirt collar
thinking he was in a fainting fit; and that
the usual restorative would suffice. In un
doing 1 his1 vest it was found that tho
needle had entered his side very deeply
a circumstanoe which the young lady
never noticed in her freight. The doc
tor was sent for. He administered what
remedies he could. Partial conscious
ness was 'restored, and the young .fel
low enabled to walk. The scene be
tween him and his (first) last love was ex
tremely affecting. .' She wept liko ono who
feels that all happiness on earth is lost.
He consoled her by saying that sho' would
get another lover soon to fill his place who
would be more worthy of her than ho oould
hope to bo, and who would make her
happy.- This but increased her sorrow.
She laid down upon the floor beside him
and cried aloud. When ho was becoming
worse, and the doctor "gave the opinion
that he could not live, the started suddenly
to her feet, and, running into another
room, swallowed a heavy dose of laudanum,
which was kept there ' for the use of ' a
young member of the family that was sick.
It was some time before she was discovered,
and it was with the utmost difficulty she
was brought back to consciousness1. Tho
first word she uttered was "O, where is he?
Let me go to him. I will be with him."
At the same instant tho young gentleman
was resigning his spirit into the hands of
its Maker in the adjoining room: He died
about 10 o'clock. She is still in a pre
carious condition, and evinces symptoms
of insanity. ' : v
A Boy's Composition About Sheep,
A sheep is about as big as a dog, though
they are better than dogs, 'cause dogs kilt
sheep, but sheep don't kill dogs, except
once when a man wanted to break his dog
of sheep killing, and so held him and let
an old sheep butt him till he' broke his
bones into little fine pieces, about as big
as a piece of tooth ; and so that' was the
way that dog got broke ; and I guess he
wished he had learned some other business
besides butchering don't yon ? ; There
are mostly two. kinds of sheep, ewes and
rams. The rams have a fer horns. There
are principally several kinds of rams also.
There is tho battering ram that they- had
in the old time to knock on the gates of
cities when they wanted to como in. Then
there's the ram that they ram down guns
with, (I wish I had a gun,) and the hydrau
lic ram they ram np water with. Sometimes
when they wanted to knock down folks
walls in the Bible, they have whole rams
enough to batter them down, and they
had to take ram's horns and. blow them
down. That they did with' the walls of
Jerry Coe. I do not know whether he was
any relation to the phosphate ef lime man'
or not There is two kinds of sheep, the
South Down, that they have down South,
ana the Merino, which is the Spanish for
marine, : 'cause they come 1 over tho sea.
They keep the : sheejj for : their mutton,
which is good when they cant get turkey,4
though generally they jump out and run
that thev can't keep them.
" X - - 1 -'I.-' 1 3
The way to make tnera jump is io.wo
barrel staves to their legs for fetters. The
fetters scare them, and thev. iumn tn . ml
away from 'em. Sheep are troubled with i
. J I ,1 ' I 1 . . ! . I
wuoi growing ati over Miem, ana so in UOt
weather they cut it off to keep them cool.
I suppose they would have to cut it off at
any rate to get at the mutton. They spin
up the wool into stockings upon Lamb's
knitting machine, though sometimes the
grandmothers knit ' them with needles,
which I think is the best way, because it
keeps themnqiiiet, and they won't bother
us boys so much. When sheep jnmp and
run one always follows tho rest. I mean
the rest alt follow one. If the leader should

Tlie California flying Machine.
The San Francisco Bulletin of July 21
describes a trial of the "Avitor" in tho
Industrial Pavilion. Some modification
had been made in its construction since
former trials. The machine is apparently
forty feet long, ten to fifteen feet in diam
eter, with a light frame work around it, of
bamboo and pine, with muslin planes on
each side to raise the machine. A ribbed
propeller shaped like a steamship's of
bamboo and muslin on each side at the
centre, propels tho machine ahead, the
power being an alcohol steam engine of
brass.
The Bulletin pays :
"After considerable delay the inflation
was completed, so that the Avitor was able
to maintain its position free of the floor.
Tho steam was got np and the propellers
set in motion by the miuiature steam en
gine, when it started easily ahead, the pro
pellers turning at about sixty to eighty
revolutions per minute. The machine was
propelled, at a speed equal to a rapid walk,
twice around the large building. It was
evident that it could be moved at a more
rapid rate, but tho obstructions of the gas
pipes prevented it. A spoed of five miles
an hour could have been attained without
doubt. It was easily elevated or depressed
by means of small cords at the bow and
stern." Of how much use the tail would be
in steering was not decided, as it was gui
ded around the ends of tho room by the
cords. Tho flight was so far successful, and
elicited a round of applause. Engineers
connected with it aro confident that a
larger machine, now under way, one hun
dred and fifty feet long, will be a success."

The Canadian Scare.
Tho Montreal News says :
"We understand, on good authority,
that a secret effort has lately been made on
the part of certain Fenian leaders, to in
duce tho ' rank and file ' of that organiza
tion to again venture upon a raid into Can
ada. A portion of them were to have been
first sent into the country by twos and
threes, and meeting by appointment at
certain points in some of the larger towns
of Ontario, to try and do a little in the way
of incendiarism and assassination, while a
formidable armed force crossed the border.
The whole plan, we are informed, was made
known to Mr. Thornton, who at once com
municated with the Dominion authorities.
Wo do not believe there is much ground
for anticipating another Fenian raid, but
it is gratifying to know that the plana of
these miscreants are known to our govern
ment almost as soon as they are laid."

At his residence in this county, after a painful

Esq., ia his Goth year.
His summons was short and unexpected, hav

fat al disease (sporadic cholera) appeared in bis
system. All attempts to check its ravages proved
futile. He realized his condition and spoke of
his exit, and gac some directions concerning
bis effects. His sufferings were intense, aud he
seemed to meet death with a calm resignation.
He waa the last surviving member of a large and
respectod family. He leaves a wife and ten child
ren to mourn their irreparable loss, yat they
mourn not aa thcae who have no JUope Ever
fresh and green in all our hearts will be his mem
ory, but better than any earthly memory or mon

beauty, and shelters them from the storm, shield
those httle ones from unfriendly blasts, adorn
them with lovliness and make them in after years
ornaments in the garden of the Lord. M.

Spirits Turpentine For this artiolo tho mar
ket on Friday last ruled inactive, and there was
nothing done in the way of sales, factors holding
at figures above the views of buyers. On Satur
day, however, there waa a decline.cf cent, sales
being made at 38J cents for country and 89 cents
for N. Y. packages. At these figures thero was a
moderate enquiry for foreign export, and a
fair business was done np to and including
Wednesday, when the market closed weak. To
day (Thursday) 38 cents ia tho highest oiler made,
but Belleru refuse to accept this figure. The week's
receipts have been moderate, tho bulk of which
has changed hands. Sales as follows :

as in quality. For other grades tho demand has
been limited, and only small sales have been ef
