Great Snakes In Brnnawlck. The following j interesting items were received yesterday from Excel sior P. O., Brunswick! county : - A colored man bv the name of Hen derson Marlow, living near here,some nights ago while; trying to catch coons which were makincr depreda tions on his growing corn, discovered a hollow log which was occupied by rattiesnases; wnereupon, a search was maoe, resulting in the capture or four of the reptiles. 1 1 Several days after ward Marlow discovered that there were more snakes in the log, and soon capturea eieven-j-majsmg in ail m teen rattlers. Another item, although not so destructive to snakes, shows how one of the monsters came to his death in a very remarkable manner. Some nights ago! there was conside rable wind, prostrating trees in many sections. ..Next aay, jur. 4'ranK .Bab- son, while looking! over his cotton field, lamenting his loss, came upon a tree wnicn nad iaiien midway across one of the largest of I the rattlesnake Kind. i . m i Cotton Is the Crop Short? , Fifty-two bales of cotton of the new crop were HrfeceiVed day. Receipts so! large thus early in the season were! never known before. It augurs well fori an early opening of the fall trade, lively business at the railroad depots, Ithe; wharves and cotton compresses, and remunera tive employment for the large class that handle the staple in it progress from the field jot the planter to the looms of the manufacturer. Reports from Ithe country as to the crop vary greatly.) Some persons, who have travelled! through the cotton belt tributary to Wilmington, Vepbrt it flourishing ; j and j anticipate an abundant yield others say that the plant has grown luxuriantly, making too much weed, and that the san guine expectations of a large yield will not be realized. A correspondent at Fair Bluff, N C, writes the Star, in this connection: 4You can; report the cotton crop short, at least one- third of what j was expected one month ago. Of what! the farmers call the 'middle crop' .there.: is none, scarcely." And he adds, "if we fail on the top crop, we will have a very short crop, indeed." Cotton Receipts. Receipts of cotton at this port yes terday were 52 bales; the same day last year 3 bales. Receipts for the week were 104 bales; the same week last year 15 bales. - 1 For the crop year, the - receipts np to yesterday were 134,020 bales,against receipts for the1 same period last year of 101,509 bales; showing an increase so far of 33,511 pales for the season of 4886-87. -.111!

Under the circumstances and in view of Sec 15 of the Army appropriation act, approved June 18. 1878, I do not see that the trooDS of the United States can be lawfully used in aid of the sheriff unless the legislature or Governor of Colorado shall represent to the President that an insurrection exists and shall call upon him for aid in suppressing it. nor does there teem to be anv other ac tion that military officers can take So long as me sneria wun nis posse ana the mili tia are pressing tbe Indians and threaten ing an immediate attack, efforts to induce Colorow and his followers to return to the agency would in all probability be useless. The only course that appears to me to be feasible, is to induce tbe State authorities to suspend the execution of their Drocess until an effort can bemade by United States authority to induce tbe Indians to return to their homes. As yet no troops have been sent to tbe scene of action, though they are held ready to march. In view of tbe severe penalties imposed by the act of 1878 on military officers who shall unlawfully use troops in aid of tbe civil authorities. I ask for more explicit instructions for my guidance. . WASHINGTON. Alex. meCue Appointed Commissioner of Fish and Fisheries The Indian Troubles In Colorada. Washington. DC. Aue. 26.

There is another complaint that the bolls are small. -4 Stonewall jottings: The slorm on Saturday morning was as violent as has been for the time it lasted in this section for years. Corn and all crops that could be blown down were flattened, and trees that have been standing for generations were uprooted. It will be a difficult mat ter to save fodder. Bridges were washed up by the flood and the rains continue to come, and it seems that we are never to have any more good weather. Linear Sawyer had hia new house blown down and completely wrecked.

Raleigh Chronicle : Watnes ville, NJ C, Aug. 14, 1807 Way nesville is the county seat of Haywood county, which was formed in 1808 from Buncombe and named in honor of John Haywood, wbo was from 1787 to 1827 Treasurer of North Carolina. The county contains 740 square miles, or 170,302 acres. The coun ty is hemmed in on all sides by high moun tain chains of 3,333, 5,000 and 6,000 feet and more above the sea. There has come no great boom to Waynesville from the completion of the railroad to this place. ' The town; has grown, and grown steadily since I firit visited it four years ago. Then there was not a brick store in' the -place : now there! are a number of them, large and handsome. The late Auditor of the State. Dr. S. L. Love; the late .Solicitor of the District, W. L Tate; ex-Judge, Hon. .1. C. L. Gudger; ex-Solicitor, G. 8. Fergu eon, and present Solicitor J. M. Moody are of this county; and Hon. Thco. F. Da vidson; Attorney General, and Hon. Thos. D. Johnson, member of Congress, are na tives of this county. Editorial corres pondence! I have seen nothing in North Carolina to be compared with the improve ment here in Asheville. I had not visited the place in four years. I expected to see many new buildings and many improve ments. To use a. well worn comparison. "The half had not been t61d." In the lim its of this; article I cannot give tbe im provements except in a general way. The old wooden stores are rapidly given way to . large modern brick stores. Business is con ducted more and more in a city way. A telephone! system is in operation. Eighteen brick stories are now in process of direction. Gas works are nearly ready for lighting the houses of; the town. Electric lights illu minate the city at night. A perfect system of water works will shortly supply water. !

Register of Deeds Causey boarded tbe train for High Point this morn ing. whither he goes to answer a charge preferred against one of his official acts. It seems that a magistrate at that place to whom Register Causey had furnished blank marriage licenses having his signature, is sued one of those important documents for the marriage of a couple, in which the lady is only eighteen years of age. The father of the girl, being opposed to the match, sues Mr. Causey for (200 damages. We leain that. at the term of Johnston Court recently -ended Solicitor Argo was presented by the grand jury for inattention to duty, j Inasmuch, however, as the jury did not specify in what tha inattention con sisted the Judge on the bench did not ask the drawing of a bill of indictment of some member $the bar as he would probably have doneiiT another case. It is under stood that the habits of the Solicitor have for some while been so unfortunate that he has at times been unable to perform the du ties of bis office. 11 ir-!; .1 1 tr'- 5,7 :5 It v. n' ;1 ft J? to V ; H. - : 'it' p.: '.1' .V I t ! t 31 & .
