The Bodies of Three 31 en Foand

I Charlotte Observer. ' '
A story of singular horror comes to
us from Wilkes county, a story which
would be hardly credible if it, had come
through a Icbs reliable man than Mr.
Thos. P, Denny, a former citizen of
Wilkes, but now a resident -of 1 the
southern part of this county. Mr.
Denny, returning from a visit 5 to! his
old . home, was in the city yester
day, and reports that a few days
ago, in the lower edge of. Wilkes
county, near the Yadkin line
a section of the county which
is sparsely populated and almost
entirely out of communication ..with
the outside world there were found
the bodies of three men named
Speaks, Mitchell and Johnston, ' the
bodies pierced with balls and entirely
lifeless. The bodies of Speaks and
Johnston were found lying close to
gether; the body of Slitchell was
about a mile distant from those of
the others. ;
The discovery occasioned great
consternation in the community, and
the prevailing belief is that the men
were murdered by revenue othcers,
though as far as is learned suspicion
points to no particular persons.
A Corn Tree..
- Raleigh Observer. ;
On the banks of the Nense, in New
Light township, this county, there is
growing a stalk of corn not yet ma
tured, the truthful and exact propor
tions of which we are afraid to men
tion for fear that our reputation for
truth might be questioned, and that
you know would hurt our feelings.
W e will not state the height of the
corn stalk as it now Btands or its cir
cumference at the base, but there are
six ears of corn . qilking out on the
stalk and it is eleven feet (measured)
to the first ear. beth Jones and, Har
vey Wray saw a gentleman by ike
name of Allen, whose weight is 225
pounds, climb five feet up the stalk,
and it stood as unbending and un
yielding as the sturdiest oak in the
forest, lhe blades of fodder from
this stalk average 9 3-4 feet in length
and 8 inches in breadth. The stalk
has not yet tasseled, in. fact is just
getting in good order to grow well,
and when it fully matures we will
give its full dimensions under the affi
davit of its owner.

Mrs. C. P. S. writes to Raleigh
Observer: "A late perusal of soma essays
by Dr. Grissom, relative to the objects of
mscaro uieir proper treatment, &c, a
very interesting discussion of tho narrow
bounds that divide the brightest genius
irom tne gloom or madness, had prepared
some of us to hear from him on the occa
sion, a Bcholarl y and spirited effort. Nor
were we disappointed. Something touch
ing bis office, some sad sense of a common
interest in what he knows and can tell of
the awful secrets of the human mind o'er

audience on Saturday night. And thev
hoard an unusually fine address." The
same accomplished ladv thus refers to
Judge Kerr's address: "In our report of
Judge Kerr's address last week, necessarily
nuriica ana imperfect, we omitted all men
tion of the affecting and really eloauent
allusion made to one of the Judge's old

he knew of happiness in his school ; days,

Heavy Rainfall Yesterday.
One of the heaviest rains since June, 18G0,
fell in this city and vicinity yesterday
afternoon. It poured in torronts for
about two hours, and then, after a brief
resting spell, commenced pouring again.
The side-walks on Market street were flood
ed, as was the case in many other localities.
At the corner of Second and Mulberry
streets, where there is a low place, a great
volume of water gathered and plunged
down the embankment to an extent that
made those who witnessed it almost imagine J
that they were gaaing at Niagara Falls. The I
alley just south of Market street, between-
Front and Second, was completely sub
merged, and the water was forced
into Messrs. Hart & Bailey's f oundry build
ings and Mr. George Myers'; warehonse to
a depth of Boveral inches, the capacity of
the sewer which passes through the1 alley
in its courso to tho river not being sufficient
to carry off the immense amount ot water
that was forcing its way into it. Last uight
there was another heavy rain, accompanied
by very vivid flashes of lightning and
heavy crashes of thunder, the impression
being that some building or other object
had been stricken by the electric fluid.

The Board, being called to order, pro-
needed to act upon the complaints of tax-

this direction.'
It was ordered that the Secretary and
Treasurer of the Wilmington ; Compress
Company appear before the Board and ex
plain why the valuation upon their proper
ty should not be increased, and that the

A White mail Arrested on tne Cnarge
of xnaklns an Assault Upon His
Wife and Daughter with an Axe
Last night, about 9 o'clock, the startling
cry of "Murder I" was heard Jssuing from a
house in the vicinity ' of Second and Mul
berry streets. Sergeant Forrest and Officer
Edward Davis, of the police, who were not
far off, heard the cry and hurried Jn the
direction of . the sound. Arrived at the
house, they found that quite a crowd had
gathered there in advance of them. It apn
peared from the statement of the lady eH
the house that her husband, a man by the
name of Hedgepeth, had got enraged about
something, and attempted to make) an as
sault upon herself and daughter with an
axe. They fled through the house, pursued
by the infuriated husband and father, and
finally took refuge in a room and fasten
ed the door, but this barrier, however, was
quickly' removed, Hedgepeth bursting the
door openivvith his axe; but, luckily, just at
this moment, the - cries of the badly fright
ened women brought some of the neighbors
to the jrescuc, and the man was disarmed.
Hedgepeth was taken into custody by Offi
cer Davis, under instructions from Ser
geant Forrest, and conveyed to the guard
house, the wife of the prisoner requesting
the officers "for God's sake not to let her
husband but that night, for if they did he
would kill herself and daughter."
Hedgepeth is quite an old man, his. age
being stated to the officers as 72 years, and
he also Btates that he is in the employment
of one of the railroads as a fireman.
He was not intoxicated, and claims that
the statements in relation to the affair have
been exaggerated. He will probably have
a-hearing before Acting Mayor Flanner
this morning.
Struck by Lightning.
Since writing the article in another col
umn, in which reference is made to the
severe lightning iast night, about halt-past
7 o'clock, we learn that the electric fluid
struck the dwelling house of Mr. S. F.
Walcott, on Front, between Wooster and
Dawson streets, going through the south
side of the building, tearing off the weath
erboarding and scattering the broken frag
ments-about the parlor, shattering several
window glasses, knocking down plastering,
&c, altogether damaging the building to a
considerable extent. The family were
severely shocked, especially one of the
ladies, who was confined to her bed with
sickness, her room being in the .second
story and immediately above the point
where tho lightning struck. ;
Wo hear that several shade trees on Sec-
bud, between Church and Castle streets,
were also stricken at the same time.
The colored Odd Fellows Their Ciood
Behavlor( dec.
We heard the perfect good order and de
corum of the colored Odd Fellows, who
have been on a visit to this city during the
present week, frequently, commented upon
among our citizens yesterday. There were
probably from six hundred to eight hun-
dred excursionists present, one tram alone
on the W. & W. Railroad having brought
five hundred, and among this large crowd
not one case of drunkenness or disorder
was noticed, eiihSr on the trains or Rafter
their arrival here. So marked was; their
good order and decorum manifest that
Capt. Cowan, in his usual daily report to
tho Chief of Police, yesterday morning,
took occasion to allude to the matter and
to speak of their conduct in the highest
terms of commendation.
