An Indiana farmer of wealth, named Goslin, is lamenting the loss of his daughter Nannie, a plumb, nice girl, who eloped with a worth less, trifling hired man. If Nan nie lives, she will probably discover that she is a big goose. A delightful climate they have up in the Dakotas. Winter hustles in so lively on the heels of Summer that the farmers don't have time to thrash out all their wheat before the snow falls. Much of last Summer's harvest is still in the fields in shock covered with three inches of snow. If, as some say, beer is taking the place of whiskey in this country as a beverage, what is to become of the 6,686,461 more gallons made this year than last? Will the Boston man, who takes so much interest in the benighted African substitute it for rum, with which he has heretofore cheered the poor heathen ? They are a progressive people down in Jefferson county, Alabama. They believe in good roads, anyway, and this is a pretty good sign of a progressive people.

On Monday the Greensboro Record rounded up the first year of its existence, and has successfully passed through all jthe trials and tribulations of journalistic infancy. We congratulate it upon its success, for it is one of the sprightliest and best of our daily evening papers, and trust that it may live to cele brate many birthdays and feel as good or better at each one than it does now. Mr. George Edward Curtis, of the Smithsonian Institute in Washing ton, who was present at Dyrenforth's rain-bringing experiments in Texas, is evidently of the opinion that the method of bringing down rain by bursting torpedoes is a big bust. He says that during the three weeks' exr periment only two-hundredths of an inch ot rain fell at the experiment station, and that showers fell at the same timcall over the State. Thos.

Mr. Jesse W. Dicksey, of this city, who, while in the employ of P. T. Bar- num was body guard and personal at tendant of Tom Thumb in 1847. '48 and '49. tells a Star reporter the following story anent the hrst meeting between Daniel Webster and the doughty little General, which has never been pub lished. Barnum was taking his Tom Thumb Combination on a steamer from New York to Boston, on which the great statesman and lawyer, Daniel Webster, was also .a passenger. The Gen eral was proudly taking his con stitutional morning strut on decfe with slow, measured and stately tread, in miniature, when he met the world- famed statesman and orator. ' Good morning ! " saluted Mr. Wer ster ; " I presume 1 am addressing the celebrated Gen. Tom Thumb?" " Yes, sir," responded the manikin ; 'and I suppose you are Mr. Daniel Webster?" Upon being affirmatively informed, Tom Thumb cocked his head to one side, eyed Mr. Webster from head to toe, and observed : "You are a much larger man and grander orator than I am, bu sir," stretching himself to his full length "I can draw a bigger crowd than you can.' Hunting in Brunswick. The Southport Leader says a party ot four men hunting on Smith's Island last week killed nine wild hogs ,A bear raided the Lumber Company's logging camp just above Kendal. The men were not aware of his presence un til the mules began to act strangely and in a frightened manner and the dogs to bark fiercely. Nothing could be seen of the bear that night, however, but in the morning the tracks were discovered and from the size of them the men judge that it must have been a very large beat. The dogs were set upon his track, the men following, but after a chase of several miles the hunt was given up. COTTON FACTS AND FIGURES. Spot cotton dull in New York -at 8?c for middling.

Frederick Warde's Great Flay. "The Lion's Mouth." One of the most important dramatic novelties of the season will be the ap pearance of the great actor, Mr. Frede rick Warde and his magnificent sup porting company which will occur next Tuesday and Wednesday, Nov. 24th and 25th. The theatrical public which are familiar with Mr. Warde's classical roles will be somewhat curious 'to see him in his new play, as he makes a radical departure from an acting standpoint, and as Paulde Navarro in "The Lion's Mouth' he appears as a young Venetian.handsome, soldierly and full of romantic passion. Judging from the picture of him he must look the character to the life. The action of the play takes place in Venice amid those stormy times in the davs of the inauisition. Its title refers to the famous "Lion's Mouth," which was the receptacle of scrolls, denounc ing persons in Venice, supposed to be inimical with the interests of the State, and which denunciation was acted upon by a council of three. The plot tells a story of love and war, dealing with the strongest passions that animate men love of country, love of women, and revenge. With it is told the story of the gentle maid whose heart is torn by the conflict of her love for a man and her sense of filial duty. The "Lion's Mouth" is superbly mount ed, the locality of the scenes, which are laid in Venice, giving opportunity for some exquisite stage pictures. On Wednesday night .Mr. Warde will present his great success, "The Mounte bank." The mere announcement of the presentation of this great play will be sufficient to pack the theatre. The sale of seats commences Monday morn ing Yesterday's Weatner. The records of the Weather Bu reau give the following report ot the range of temperature, etc, yesterday: At 8 a. m., 46; 8 p. m 56"; maximum temperature, 62; minimum, 40; aver age 51.

Arthur Pertco, alias Sydney Bethea, who was adjudged guilty by the Mayor in the City Court yesterday morning for carrying concealed weapons, is now held for perjury.

Long in that coun ty on the 10th October, 1889, and that the Governor of that State has offered a reward of $200 for his capture. Then follows an "accurate, detailed description of the man, which fits very closely the man now held here. When the murderer left Edgefield county he said he intended to join the U, S. Army, Officers Kunold, Howell, Bnnkly and Nixon, who effected the arrest, have lively hopes of obtaining the reward Weatner Forecasts.
