Mr. Branch Merrimon, a brother of Hon.
A. S. Merrimon, died yesterday at Ashe
ville, aged 44 years. For some years he
had lived in Baltimore. Yesterday
afternoon the enterprising tobacco town of
Henderson was visited by one of the
severest thunder storms of the season;
during its continuance, and while large
sales of tobacco were in progress, a bolt of
lightning entirely destroyed a large tree
within a few feet of the hotel. Col. Ike
Young was near by, but not a hair of his
head was scorched. It was a wonderful
escape. The position of State Geolo
gist being a State office the appointee will
be a State officer. To be eligible to office
in this State under the constitution it ap
peares that one must be an elector; and the
qualification for suffrage is a twelve months'
residence in North Carolina. So no one
can be appointed State Geologist unless he
has resided in North Carolina twelve
months.

City Maps.
We find that the map referred to a few
days since, in which St. James' street was
incorrectly laid down, is only a copy of
the city map as prepared by Messrs. James
& Brown made by a young! son of the late
City Clerk and Treasurer Servoss,' and
printed, and that Messrs. James & Brown
had nothing to do with the copy, which
contains quite a number of errors. The
original map prepared by them, which is of
large size, framed and hung up in the City
Treasurer's office, the County Commission
ers' room and other public places, they say
is entirely correct.

riSCATORlJLL POINTS.
A Short Story About Lake Trout
Thirty-Five Thousand Placed In
Wieeautw Lake.
We are glad to note a valuable contribu
tion recently made to the fish interests of
this section.
A short time since Hon. Spencer F.
Baird, United States Fish Commissioner,
wrote to Col. H. B. Short making inquiries
as to the area, source of supply, outlet,
temperature of water, and depth of Wac
camaw Lake his object being to find wa
ters in the South suitable for the propaga
tion of the Lake trout, one of the gamest
fish that ever tackled a fly or swallowed a
minnow. Col. Short's reply was so full
and satisfactory that Mr. Baird promptly
decided that Waccamaw Lake possessedjall
the advantages requisite for his purpose.
So a very intelligent young man, Mr. L. L.
Donnelly, from the government hatchery
at Washington, arrived at Flemington a
few days ago, having in charge ten large
cans containing 35,000 of the Lake trout
averaging about two inches in length.
The temperature of the water in the cans
being 45 degrees and that of the Lake 68
degrees, Mr. Donnelly remarked that it
would.be certain death to the young fish to
make the change at once. So he placed
the cans in reach of the sun's rays, and in
three hours the temperature of the water
had risen to 63 degrees. The transfer was
then made from the cans to the Lake, and
Col. Short and Mr. Donnelly were so happy
that they immediately "smiled,"
The Lake trout is one of the finest of the
fresh water fish a "joy forever" to the
angler and indescribably sweet to the epicure
At maturity, which it reaches in about two
years, it weigns irom tnree to four pounds.
Mr. Donnelly surely understands his
business; for of the 35,000 fish with which
he started from Washington, only twelve
were dead or injured when he reached
Waccamaw Lake.
Looking After Phosphates.
A Raleigh letter in the Richmond Dis
patch says : Dr. C. W. Dabney has gone
on a tour of inspection to the lower Cape
Fear section to examine the phosphate
rocks recently discovered there, and to lo
cate, if possible, any considerable beds of
them that may underlie the country. It
will be a grand discovery if he is success
ful, because the whole world is being ran
sacked for cheap and convenient fertilizers
to stimulate production to answer the de
mands of the enormous consumption of our
growing population.
; Mr. W. H. Hayes, Hillsboro, N.C., says
"I can recommend Brown's Iron Bitters as
a superior article." f

Grand Excursion Next month.
Arrangements are in progress, under the
auspices of Messrs. Berry Gleaves, John L.
Maffitt and J. A. Corbett, for a grand all-
daylight excursion from Shelby and inter
mediate points on the Carolina Central
Railroad to -Wilmington; the excursion to
take place on the 26th of May, and tickets
to be good for one .week. This will allow
the excursionists ample time to visit the
sounds and seashore, to indulge in a trip to
the black fish grounds, and to spend all the'
time they may desire in the city, to say
nothing of oyster roasts, fish fries, etc. All
necessary arrangements for tne comfort
and convenience of the excursionists will
be made, and the steamer Passport has been
engaged to take them down the river. We
anticipate a big crowd here on the oc
casion. Tne matter is in tne ngnt nanus.
Wood and ITIetal Scenery Beautiful
Oriental Design.? Sec.
We understand that the scenery which is
used in the first, second and fourth acts of
"Young Mrs. Winthrop" at the Madison
Square Theatre, is constructed of wood and
brass. The metal was cut by hand in India
for Louis C. Tiffany & Co., who imported
it. In India, this metal is used for .deco-
ratirjg rooms ueaicatea to special ceremo
nials. The walls and ceiling of the scene
at the Madison Square Theatre contain over
two hundred Oriental designs. Its full
beauty can only be appreciated by a minute
inspection through an opera glass. It shows
the kind of house decoration which the
more wealthy are now introducing in New
York city homes. A duplicate of this
will be shown with the company which is
soon to appear in this city.
The Rebate on Tobacco. Clears, Ac.
Under the New Tariff.
All dealers having tobacco, cigars, snuff
and cigarettes on hand on May 1st can
secure the rebate allowed under the new
tariff bill upon these articles by application
to the proper department at Washington on
or before the time above specified. If ap
plication be not made by or before that
time no rebate can be secured. 1 ne re
ductions are as follows: 8 cents per pound
on tobacco; 8 cents per pound on snuff;
from $6 to $3 per thousand on cigars and
cigarettes, and from 1.7o to $1.25 on
cigarettes in paper. Jf ull particulars can
be had of U. S. Commissioner King, who
is in possession of instructions from the
Department.
Accident on the Black River.
We learn that one of the arches of Union
Bridge, over Black river, broke in on Wed
nesday last, while one of Mr. J. D. Kerr's
wagon and teams were crossing it, throw
ing mules, driver, wagon and load into the
water, which at that point is about ten
feet deep. The mules were saved with
some damage. The driver, we regret to
hear, suffered internal injuries, but to what
extent our informant could not say. A
greater portion of the load was lost.

A DOWN TOWN MERCHANT, having passed
several sleepless nights, disturbed by the agonies
and cries of a suffering child, and becoming con
vinced that Mrs. Winsloy's Soothing Syrup was
just the article needed, procured a supply for the
child. On reaching home and acquainting his
wife with what he had done, she refused to have it
administered to the child, as she was strongly In
favor of Homoeopathy. That night the child passed
in suff ering.and the parents without sleep. Return
ing home the day following, the father found the
baby still suffering : and while contemplating an
other sleepless night, the mother stepped from
the room to attend "to some domestic duties
and left the father with the child. During her ab
sence he administered a portion of the Soothing
Syrup to the baby, and said nothing. That night
all hands slept well, and the little fellow awoke in
the morning bright and happy. The mother was
delighted with the wonderful change, and al
though at first offended at the deception prac
ticed upon her, has continued to use the Syrup,
and suffering crying babies and restless nights
nave disappeared. A single trial of the Syrup
never yet failed to relieve the baby, and over

Case of Dr. J. B. Wclstllng. Mlddlctown, Pa-
stated by himself. '
'Experience In Its use In Stone of the Bladder.
In my own person, enables me to attest the won-
derful efficacy of the Buffalo Lithia Water In this
painful malady.
After having been long subject
ed to sufferings, tho Intensity of which cannot
be described. I have under the Influenoe or this
water passed (I am confident I am within the
bounds of truth), at least an ounce of Calculi
(Uiic Acid), some of which welglMtd as muoh aa
four rralns. affordlnar Inexpressible relief, and
leaving me In a condition of comparative ease :
ally small Calculi, and they are not attended Mr
the Intense suffering which their passage has
heretofore occasioned. On one occasion I passed
thirty-five Calculi in forty-elirht hours. The ap
pearance of this Calculus Nuclei Indicates un
mistakably. I think, that they were .all compo
nent particles of one large Calculus destroyed
by tho action of tho water by means of solution
and disintegration. At my advanced period of
life (I am seventy-seven years and six months of
age), and In my feeble general health, a snrrical
operation was not to be thought of, and the wa
ter seems tt have accomplished all that snob an
operation, if successful, oould have dono."

"My son. a young man, suffered from Stone In

chiefly of Calcium, Carbonate una rnospHats. Al
ter persistent use of all remedies Indicated In
