regard to the vet condition of their

to our carriers, . v,e will state that

they used every pi '.caution lor the pro

a conceit : is,'' he said, "neither

more than it cured." Charles, we im
agine, was something like the our
self, and thought that a little of that
good old Century, taken judiciously
and in moderation, wouldn't hurt.

Spoke and Handle Factories
Greensboro. Any stranger visiting
the town of Greensboro, and inquiring
concerning its industries will be at once
told that the principal of them, are its
Spoke and Handle Factories, and that
they have given a great impetus, to
business in the surrounding region of
country. A visit to these factories
will at once show the merit of the state
ment. Not a great amount of capital is
Invested in the machinery, which is
simple, but large sums aie paid to
numerous mechanics and to farmers for
suitable timber, oak, hickory and ash,
for the manulacture of spokes and hand
les, which command ready sale abroad,
and those from this State are esteemed
among the best, owing to the fineness
of texture, firmness aneLelasticity of our
forest wood, which is the happy result
ot a temperate climate and a good soil
suitable to the. growth of large forests.
Thousands of spokes and handles,
together with rims of wheels for all
kincls of vehicles, are manufactured in
Greensboro, and why cannot the same
be done here ? 'We have the best rail
road facilities, the raw material is
abundant in this county, in Chatham,
Orange, Johnston, Franklin, and even
farther away, and it will bear transpor
tation at a large profit to the manufac
turer. Besides the outlay is not large,
an hundred families may be given era
ployment, the - farmers reap the advan
tages of the sale of their valuable
woods, and a stimulus given to the in
troduction of kindred manufactures in
this city, wh'ch we so much need. . '
Steam is the motive power, and the
fuel is supplied by the debris of the
works. The process is easily under
stood, ami any good Dusiness man can
easily manage the affairs of the concern
VVe invite attention to this invest
ment, eitlur at lialeigh, or at Gary, or
at Auburn, or at Forestville, N. C,
Every stick of hickory, oak and ash in
this and surrounding counties, now
heaped and destroyed in the low-
grounds, or picked oUt uselessly for
winter burning in the country, is a dead
loss to our farmers, and would be a for
tune to the factories if delivered at
Greensboro.
Let our business men look into this
business, and before tney invest in any
more store buildings or wood yards or
saw mills, establish two or three of these
lactones, draw an increase oi nity me
chanics to our doors, give money to the
wood-owners, and add such a stimulus
to our industries as has been given al
ready to those of our sister c:ty eighty
miles away.
That Drkam. If we were only a
poet, Bio. Mill's dream should be ren
dered in vcise, but as we are not, ro
prose must necessarily answer instead.
"He dreampt a dream the other night
when all around whs still, he dreampt
he saw Gov. Caldwell officiating in
the pulpit at the church of-this
city ; that Attorney General Hargrove
presided at the Organ and Was also the
chorister. The hymn was
given out' and the Attorney General ac
quitted himself' handsomely in the ren
dition of the music. The Governor
took his text and proceeded with his
sermon, and said some "good things"
(we don't believe i dreams) at which
the audience cheered lustily, Bro. Mills
joining in. uniortunateiy uro. juins
w r . .1 -
awoke and the Governor s sermon was
never concluded.
We merely state this circumstance from
the fact that many of our readers believe
in dreams and would probably like to
have this one to solve. Our columns
are open to any one who will attempt
its solution. Let,ushear from you.
il YDROPnoB I a. Another rabid dog
was killed yesterday morning at the
farm of William Grimes, Esq., a short
distance outside oi the city limits. This

A Furious Bull in a Dikikg Boom,
Courting scrapes like murder will
out and it really seems like something
or other will always turn up to make
public what people desire most to keep
secret. We obtained the following bit
of gossip from our undeground
telegraph, and do not feel at liberty to
keep it irom the public, but as we call
no names, the parties concerned can
take no offence. The course of true
love never runs smooth as the following
incident will show : Wednesday night
at 7:30, during the hard rain, one of our
nice young salesmen quietly sat at the
tea table beside his intended at the
residence of her father,a worthy citizen
of the Eastern Ward. All were seated
at the fable with heads bowed down
receiving the blessings of Mr. ,
when their peace and quiet ot mind was
disturbed in a measure more ridiculous
than refined, and more perilous than
amusing to all concerned. As if promp-ted-byxthe
devilhimselt a neighbor's
bull, uninvited, had paid a visit to the
cow pen, an"dback-yard of the house
on the same evening, and in making
free and easy with Tthmcrs iu general
and helping himself tosyhatever come
within his reach, his head became
entangled in a baskec, and it theeader
ever saw a bull with its head iastened
in a bucket or basket he need not De-
told "of. the antics he will cut up
and nothing but a dog with a horse fly
tied to its tail can begin to equal it.
Hardly had "amen" been said, when a
tremendus ban" at the door set it wide
open and in rushed a big surly bull
with his head buried in a bushel bas
ket. The dining room being In the
rear bl tne house and on a level with
the ground, his bullship found no diffi
culty in making his grand entry ; and
with a powerful 6urge he upset the ta
ble, breaking most , of the crockery,
turning over the pot of red hot coffee in
the lap of our young lriend, the sales
man,
and
carsizin2
the lamp
thereby, throwing the !room in utter
darkness. Things now presented a se
rious aspect and sudden destruction
threatened all in the room ; at this
stage of the game no time was to be
lost in reflecting;all had to art promptly
and take such a part iu the fight as his
or her judgment might decide.
Our brave young hero, like a sensible
man as he is, seized the bull by the tail
and held on with death like tenacity,
while the lather of the family firmly
grasped him by the horns. The bull
began to be!low,the ladies shrieked and
screamed and the young man cried Po
lice ! Police! ! at the top of his voice.
This unusual noise and excitement
brought in the yard dog, who was slow
in making his appearance as he had to
drag behind him a heavyblock and chain
but when he arrived he went for our
young lriend like a "heathen Chinee"
and fastened hi3 teeth in the seat of his
pantaloons. The young lady with au
eye' keen for the safety of her intended,
pounced on the dog like a hungry
tiger on a bleating lamb.
You can now see the state of affairs.
The old man astraddle the neck holding
the horns, the bull in the middle, the
young man swinging to his tail, the dog
growling and shaking him by the
pants, the young lady with her lily
white hands choking the fierce bull dog,
while her mother with, a' fit of hyster
ics lay on the floor as still as a corpse
and but for her breathing one would
have taken her for dead. Had things
lasted five minntes longer,, there would
not have been one left alive to tell the
sad tale.
But Aunt Sally, the cook, who: w hen
mad or excited, has more "muscle than
discretion, ran in prepared tor any
emergency,as she could not imagine why
there was so much noise and confusion.
With a lightwood torch in one hand and
theikitchen shovel in the other, she com
menced business m earnest: and you
had better believe if ever a bull was
known to pray, it was on that dark and
rainy night. She made the lur fly, and
the louder he bellowed the Jiaruer and
faster she put on her blows. His exit
was quick and sudden, and with one
bound, he sprang to the middle ol the
yard, leaped the high palings like a
deer, and has not since called again
She then turned her attention to the
dog, andin less than no time made him
let go his hold and sent him yelpin
under the house.
Aunt Sally now became master of
the situation, and by kind words and
gentle smiles partially restored the
house to order; and say "old master-you
take the young folks back to the parlor
and I will rouse up mistress,"which she
readily did by cold sprinkling and the
use of the smelling bottle.
But our young inend did not tarry
long, as between the bite of the dog
and the hot coffee he did not feel mu3h
in a courting mood, begged to be ex
cused and left in the drenching rain
He is now using Congleton's Salve and
Hicks' Magic Twinkling, and report
says is doing as well as might be ex
pected under the circumstances.

The Lecture of Olive Logan at
Tucker Hall. This celebrity in the
field ol letters was greeted last evening
at Tucker Hall by a not very numerous,
but appreciative audience. "Girls"
was 'the subject treated ot, and the
manner in wuicu it was nandlea ren
dered it a most interesting topic. The
lecture was both instructive and amu
sing, and bore .the impress of a genius
of high order, it treated ot quite a
number of girls, among which were
girls fashionable, girls beautiful, girls
womanly and unwomanly, girlsYankee,
Western and . bouthern, and strong-
minded girls. In each of the parts the
lecture was lull of force and piquancy,
and as a whole was admirable for its
moral tone and literary excel
lence. Terhaps there were occasional
passages . which clashed rather
rudely against some of our pre
conceived ideas, and to the truth of
which we do not agree. In regard to
the allusion to "Southern Girls" we
heartily agree with the critieismof the
W ilmington ' Journal, which w now
take occasion to reproduce :
"We esteem highly, and appreciate
gratefully, the well merited compliment
paid to "bouthern girls," but deprecate
the pursuit of that advanced sphere of
prominent activity to which the enthu
siastic teachings of Miss Logan would
lean them. We agree with the lady
tbbroughlv as to the idea that woman
shouldSie useful, vet differ -most mate
rially as tdthc sphere of thatuseful
ness." '--...
Taking the lecture as an aggregate
we Cannot refrain fromaccording :o it
our unqualified praise in aliterary point
of view. It was replete witti polished
sentences which sparkled with flashes
of genuine humor, ever and tnon blend
ing with deep pathos. In saying that
lialeigh has rarely ever enjoyed such a
rich intellectual treat as that of last even
ing, we pay Miss Logan (Mrs. Sikes)
no exaggerated compliment, but only
accord to her genius that meed of praise
to which it is eminently entitled.
Ihis evening Miss Logan lectures
again her subject the " Passions," and
no aouDt the lecture will attract a
large audience. If we can form an idea
of this lecture from the comments of the
press in various cities in which it has
been delivered, it equals, it not sur
passes, the one that delighted our citi
zens last evening.
Louisburg News.- Our Louisburg
correspondent, writing under date of
yesterday, sends us the following :
"Our municipal election on Monday
passed off without much excitement.
E: W. Fuller was elected Mayor, and
Messrs. T. C. Horton, Thomas White,
Thomas Huff, Whiler and Ned Alstoa,
colored, Commissioners.
The long continued cold spell has
greatly retarded our gardens and crops,
and the rainy and cloudy spell on hand
has prevented many Irom finishing
planting cotton.
Trade is rather dull in consequence of
the decline in cotton, and our farmers
are down in the mouth.
'Tis with unaffected regret that I in
form you that Maj. D.L. Hill's health, ot
late, is delicate, lie 13 confined to his
house and room with Anemia, (general
debility) and heart disease. His son, Dr,
Charles Hill, from Baltimore, has lately
visited him, and I get my information
directly from him. May a merciful
Providence spare him and restore him
to his family and the Methodist Church,
for as choir leader and general tune
raiser in church I have never heard his
superior.
Vould that I 'could cow close my
letter, but mnst inform you of the un
timely death ot Mrs.Wm.lI.iarborough

of the late Archibald Davis, and sister
of W. K. Davis. I never saw as manv
at any time - to turn out as did to

The many friends of Dr. J. II. Cook,

the loss of his wife, whose death occur
red on Monday. She was a most esti
mable lady and greatly beloved by all
who knew her. Her funeral yesterday
was largely attended.
The trade of Warrenton is unusually
dull and the complaint thereat is gen
eral with all classes of our business pop
ulation. Even the Doctors only seven
