BALD MOUNTAIN.
A Herald Correspondent on tbe
Quaking; fflonnt What He Has to
Say of tbe Quaking.
Foot of Bald Mountain,
McDowell County, N. C,
j V March 21, 1874. )
Last night there was a succession
of terrific shocks on the sides of Bald
Mountain,- accompanied by a sharp
thunderstorm. Simultaneously with
the thunder, quick and loud reports
could be heard from the mountain
sides. I stopped at the house of an
old farmer, who welcomed me and
said that j he would like to have a
hundred in the house, as the moun
tain had scared him nearly out of his
life. During the night, when the
rumbling was at its height he got up,
and, assembling his family around
him, held a family prayer meeting.
The whole neighborhood was aroused
in like manner. The shaking of the
earth was quite perceptible, and it
was almost impossible to sleep., As
yet no one has been able to give any
rlflfimtfi ac!onnt of the source of the
! ;
convulsion. I
I started up the mojuntain this morn
ing at seven o'clockj and had ridden
over three-quarters of a mile when a
sudden shock 'occurred, which so
terrified my borse that he became un
manageable. . He ran me against a
tree, and nnhorsmg me, left me on
the ground so much bruised in tbe
left side and leg that I was unable to
remount. I have a guide who will
go up with me if I am able, when I
shall be able to send full and definite
information.
After sixteen days of prayer meet
ing, during which time the people
left their cattle and crops to take care
of themselves, they seem now await
iug some terrible calamity, and in
many instances their anxiety is really
distressing. Nearly 200 converts to
religion are reported

Finance at Washington.
Washington, March 23. .
The vote in the House to-day lim
iting the legal tenders to four hun
dred millions proves conclusively that
two-thirds af the members favor a
Ion t increase in the volume of the
currency, but no opportunity will be
allowed them to bring the question
up'in a proper shape. All the New
England members, including Blane,
iiro dead set against inflation, and
their tactics are such as to defeat all
.efforts of the large majority. The
slight expansion of a" few millions is
entirely inadequate, and is simply a
ruse to defeat the real wants of the
West and South.

The following cases were disposed of yes

to pay a fine of $10.
Green Lewis, charged with disorderly
conduct. Case continued until this morn

Moses Felder, charged with beating his
wife and disturbing citizens, was found
guilty and required to pay a fine of $10 or
work for 20 days on the streets.
Ellen James, Lewis Davis and Scip Hill,
charged with being disorderly, fighting, &c. ,
were found guilty, the two first named be
ing required to pay a fine of $10 and costs,
each or work for thirty days on the streets,
In the case of Hill, judgment was suspend
ed on the payment of costs, on the non pay
ment of which he was sent to work out the
same on the streets. 1
Sam. Collins, charged with cursing and
acting in a very disorderly manner, was
sentenced to pay a fine of $10 or work for
twenty days on the streets.
Hannah Brown, charged with disorderly
conduct. Case continued until this morn

Henry Robins, charged with disorderly

Four cases for violation of Sections 1st

Flats vs. Railroads.
Among the new enterprises on foot, we
notice that five flats are now lunning regu-
Jarly between this city and Tatum's Bridge,
a poitonthe Cohera, a tributary of Blacfc
River, about twelve miles from Clinton,
Sampson connty, for the purpose of bring
ing and carrying freight. This step, we
understand, was rendered necessary on ac
count of the heavy "chargco for local
freights on the Wilmington and-Weidon
Railroad. For instance, it is claimed that
charge on a bale f cotton brought to this
city from the point alluded to, by flat, only
amounts to 50 cents, whereas the charge for
the same on the Railroad fromWarsaw to
this city, a shorter distance, is $1 75; and
the flats are said to make the trip in good
time.

Fox andDenler's Pantomime Tronpe.
This troupe, with Mr. E. P. Kendall as
Business Manager, will open at the Opera
House in this city on Monday night next in
Humpty Dumpty, with twenty-five talented
performers, including an array of specialty
artists. Speaking of their performance in
Macon, Ga., the Telegrapli and Messenger
says:
This show is one of the best that has ever
been in Macon. It was a better average
show than that of G. L. Fox which was
here last season. With as good a clown, it
had better material and a more varied per
formance. It was one of the livest shows
we ever saw. It docs more in the same
length of time than any other show, and the
audience has to he on the lookout all the
while to avoid missing some good point.
Humpty Dumpty is a drama of action, de
cidedly. The spoken parts are fevand far
between; but the pantomime gives ample
scope to the finest facial and muscular per
formance. Every member of the Company
was well up in his or her part, and the per
formance was lielped along wnn me ad
juncts of appropriate scenery and other
stage appliances. Everybody was ready
for the show to begin before the curtain
rose, and after the curtain rose, and until
it fell on the final act, there was one con
tinuous round of fun and jollity.
Hon. A. OT. Waddell.
This distinguished gentleman speaks to-
night in Philadelphia, the occasion being
one of great national interest.
Among the
brilliant Centennial speakers who will thrill
Philadelphia to-night, it is a safe guarantee
that none will excel the gifted young orator
that the Wilmington Congress District has
honored for four years with a high repre
sentative trust.
The Richmond Whig of yesterday thus
refers to the lecture of CoL Waddell in that
city on Monday night :
At Association Hall last night was gath
ered an audience fully capable of apprecia
ting the masterly lecture of Hon. A. M.
Waddell, M. C. from North Carolina, on
" America before Columbus." It is no easy
task for an orator to successfully take up a
subject such as the one mentioned above,
arSfwhich necessarily requires a great ar
ray of archselogical facts, which, to the ma
jority of people, will, unless very skilfully
handled, prove uninteresting at least. These
facts were presented by the distinguished
lecturer last night, but they were so admira
bly interwoven with his ingenious argu
ment that the audience listened with an in
terest which we have rarely seen manifest
ed on a similar occasion.
Another Rumor.
The latest rumor or supposition afloat in
reference to the unknown man found
drowned in the river opposite Market Dock,
on Sunday last, is to the effect that it is
possibly the body of Wm. Stanley, the
barber, recently in the employ or O. H.
Ward, in itis cily, and who has been miss
ing for several weeks, some mention of
which has heretofore appeared in this
paper. Those who knew Stanley intimate
ly say that it was one of his invariable
habits when drinking to excess to select
some spot where he could sit and gaze into
the water, and tbe theory of some of his
friends is that in one of his fits of abstrac",
tion, while engaged in his favorite pastime,
he accidentally fell into the river and was
drowned. Stanley was a very bright mulat
to. Cape Fear Agricultural Association.

ANNIVERSARY DINNER.
Society of Saint George and Saint An
drew. The above Society gave its fourth an
nual dinner last night in the room over the
Bank of New Hanover. The room was
tastfully decorated with flags of every nation
and festoons of evergreen, while the table
was loaded with all the good things the mar
ket affords. The supper was gotten up in
Harry Webb's best style and of course con
cluded with a genuine old style English
plum pudding.
Alex. Sprunt, Esq., President hi the
Society, occupied the head of the table,
His Honor, Mayor Canaday, seated on his
right-hand and Col. Jno. Wilder Atkinson
ou his left. Among the other invited guests
were E. Peschau, Esq., German Consul,
Major J. C. Maun, Major J. A. Byrne,
Capt. Chas. I). Myers, Robert Henning,
Esq., and other prominent citizens.
The following regular toasts were drank:
1. " The day we celebrate."
Responded to by Alex Sprunt, Esq., giv
ing a synopsis of the doings of the Society
during the last year in relieving the
many distressed who applied to them for
assistance, showing that funds were still
in the Treasury and he hoped soon to be
able to erect .a building oftheir own for the
deposit of their archives and a place to
hold their meetings.
2. "The Queen."
Drank standing, the entire company
singing "God save the Queen."
3. "The President of the United States."
Drauk with all the honors.
4. "Ennla.il."
Responded to very feelingly by Berry
Gleaves, Esq.
5. "Scotland."
Mr. John Colville responded to this toast
in a very pleasant speech, showing that his
heart was still warm for the Highlands.
Messrs. Mann, Mayer and Myers sang
"Health to the Fairest" their trained
voices and sweet harmonies adding much
to the enjoyment of the evening.
6th. "The land of our adoption."
Drank with all the honors, and respond
ed to by Col. Atkinson in his peculiarly
happy and graceful style.
Song. "When the Kye Comes Hame,'
by John Colville, Esq.
7. " The City of Wilmington."
' Responded to briefly by Mayor Cana
day.
Song, by Mr. T. II. Smith.
8. "The Press."
Responded to by Major Mann, late of Tlie
Eoening Post.
Song, by Mr. Robt. Thorburn.
9. "Our Sister Societies."
Responded to by Robert Henning, Esq.
10. " Old North Carolina."
Drank with all the honors and responded
to by Sheriff Black.
11. "The Ladies."
Responded to by Major Mann, who con
vulsed his hearers with laughter, then
moved them to the finer feelings of their
manhood. He then closed by singing a
beautiful and appropriate trio with the gen
tlemen of the trio.
12. "The Commerce of Wilmington."
Capt. Chas. D. Myers responded in a
most graceful and becoming manner.
Numerous volunteer toasts were proposed
fnd responded to, and when we left the
aestivities were at their height.
The Sound Road Acaln.
Now, that the smoke of the battle for
municipal aid has cleared away and we
know exactly what we have to depend upon
to secure the much coveted road to the
Sound, is the time to go to work in earnest
andbwdditf With a population of about
20,000 souls, it should not be such a difficult
matter to secure the amount necessary for
this purpose, especially when the fact seems
to be conceded by all that it would prove
beneficial to the city. With the Carolina
Central road completed, the Sound road
would prove the last connecting link be
tween the mountain and the seashore, and in
Summer hundreds of our up-country friends
would be seized with a desire to snuff the
salt-breezes, bathe in the briny billows of
Old Ocean and revel in the luxuries of fat
mullets, oysters, clams and crabs. It would
seem impossible that the proposed enter
prise could prove otherwise than a good in
vestment, while its benefits in other re
spects are self-evident and assured.
Whatever may have been the feeling and
sentiment of the people in regard to muni
cipal aid, it is certainly a mistaken notion to
suppose that such feelings and sentiments
were grounded on hostitily to the road itself.
We know that its suceess through the
instrumentality of private subscrip
tion and private enterprise would be hailed
with satisfaction by more than nine-tenths
of the community. Let the friends of the
road, then, make "a long pull, a strong pull
and a pull altogether" and success will
crown their efforts.
John G. Saxe To-Nleht.
We take occasion to remind our readers
that the celebrated poet and reader, John
G. Saxe, will read his famous humorous
and descriptive poem entitled "Love" at
the Opera House this evening. It is bui
seldom in a life-time that our citizens are
furnished with such a rare intellectual treat
as may be expected on this occasion and
we shall anticipate a full house.
Reserved seats, without extra charge, to

ted in this city, and has secured cfuite i a
number of signatures, praying the Board

tion to be held on the 1st Monday in May,
as Drovided by law, to determine the ques-
tion of "License" or " No License" for the
retail of spirituous liquors in this townstip.
Thought Better of It.
Two colored individuals drew pistols on
each other on Second, between Market and
Princess streets, yesterday afternoon, and
quite an excitement prevailed a few min
utes. They failed to touch the triggers,
however, and the parties finally separated
without spilling, blood. .
