RaliIigii. Mr.
Wilson, of the Kin
ston Gazette, who was a delegate to the
recent State Convention of the Friends

interesting account in hi3 paper of his
triD aVoni the roule. lie speaks as
. I crt , .
follows concerning our city :
'About nightfall we arrived at Ral
eigh where we spent the night and the
next day in visiting friends, sight see
ing, etc. Here we met many of the
Press transr. to many of whom are we
indebted for kiuduess, and especially to
Capt. Williams of the Daily News, to
whose loersonal attentions and sacrifice
of valiiaTjle time do we owe much o
the pleasure of our visit while in the
city. We did not see brother Woodson
ot the Nkws, for he, "sniffing the battle
afar off in the breeze ' would not await
oar coming, but promptly betook him
sell to Orange Court that we might pass
him in the night. W hile in Raleigh we
noted many maiked improvements in
the erection and adornment of many
large and handsome residences and
busiuess houses. Oi course we stopped
at the 'National' where we could not
fail to enjoy all those home-like com
forts ol elegantly furnished rooms, clean
bedf, luxurious fare and polite attention
for wnich the Manager, Mr. Partin, and
the Proprietors, MtS3rs. Ba&ley & Hay
wood are proverbial."
Fine Chewing Tobacco and Cigars.
Having been a user of the weed, both
in chewing and smoking, we know
whereof we speak. The 4,Thomas
Keen" chewing tobacco and the ''Panar
telea" cigars are most excellent brands
Indeed, we have rarely ever seen their
.superior as to quality and flavor. R. H.
11 tadley, at his Confectionery Store, on
Fnvettoville street, just above tbe Yar
borough House, is now prepared to fur
nish these articles to the public. All
ye who enjoy a quid or a smoke should
call on him and you will not regret it.

THIRD DAY.
The Grand Lodge met at 9 a. m. yes
iefdayv r
The , Grand j Officers elected on the
day previous were then regularly an'
and
fore
duly installed. Names hereto!'
given.
Upon assuming the chair, Grand
Master Bagley spoke as follows:
Past Grakds: . - -
I should be indifferent to the prompt
ings of my heart, did I not give utterance
to the gratitude I feel towards you lor
this undeserved manifestation of your
kindness and confidence. ,
To be the Chief Executive of or.e of
the Grand Jurisdictions of the noblest
and grandest institution which man's
benevolence has organized for the
amelioration of the afflicted and dis
tressed, is an honor which the greatest
might covet, and one, as humble as my
self, should accept with trembling and
fear.
But, however, unequal to the task
which your partiality has imposed, I
recognize in no brother a firmer devo
tion to the principles of our Order, or a
more earnest determination to carry out
its objects. In these, I claim to be the
peer of the greatest among us ; and
trusting that these will compensate tor
other defects ; aud relying upon the older
and wiser heads to counsel and
encourage, and the stronger hands to up
hold and support me, I shall, with less
fear, enter upon the discbarge of my
official duties.
What those duties are, lo:m up before
me almost mountain high. What
ought to be done, I can see we all can
see. What can be done; I know not, and
you know not, until we have tried. Shall
we not, ail who are here, during the
year belore us, try and see that that
shall be done, which ouqht to be done?
Then let us go back to those
whom we represent, and by glow
ing recitals of how the Fraternal hosts,
by hundreds of thousands, on other
fields than ours, are gathering to fight
ignorance, sorrow and sin, inspire them
to an unflinching determination to do
what .they and we know ought to be
done.
Thirty years ago our little North Car
olina army started with their subordi
nates, in the ranks Weldon, No. 1,
Cape Fear, No. 2, and Washington, No.
3. Slowly but firmly they took np their
march, gathering sixty-four other re
cruits on the way, making sixty-seven
subordinates, each, for the time, a host
within itself. On their journey to-day,
we call the roll, and only twenty, (20)
answer to the call! Forty-seven, (47;
are -missing" ! Where are they ? Some
are sick, some have become wearied and
fainted by the' wray-side, and some,
are dead !
Our Order teaches us "to take care of
the sick and bury the dead." Let us
obey its teachings. Let us but pause to
drop a tear ot regret upon the -itvo r
the dead we have buried, and hasten
alter the new recruits. They are await
ing the rich bounty we can offer the
orphans' thanks and the widows' pray
ers! Let nurses go back, on the old
track of the army, and look up the sick
and the weary. Let them speak words
of hone, of encourasement and ot the
bright triumph which awaits U3 ahead
Let us but do this.and we shall soon hear,
at our yearly roll-call responses to the
names ol many ancient comrades who
have been almost forgotten, and of more
han enough new recruits to replace
those of the departed !,
To assist in the accomplishment ol such
a result shall be my constant ambition
and endeavor; and in lurtherance ot that
endeavor I invoke the aid and co-ope-
ation of everv member of this Grand
Body and ot every good Odd-Fellow.
The Grand Master closed by making

LouisuuuG. Our esteemed correspon
dent, C M. W., sends us the following
rom Louisburg. If our correspondent
would write on one side of the paper
only, it would be a great convenience t3o
us : '
The anniversary meeting or the
rauklin County Bible Society was
leld in the Baptist church in Louisburg
ast Sabbath. Rev. Dr. Royall, the
worthy and efficient President, was ab
sent on account of sickness, and Rev.
aul J. Carraway presided by request.
After the reading and adoption ot
reports, submitted by. the Secretary and
Treasurer, an election of officers for the
ensuing year was held, with, the foilow-
g result :
Rev. P. J. Carraway, President.
C. M. Cooke, Vice President;
E. W. Fuller, Secretary.
J. S. Barrovy, Treasurer.
M. S. Davis, Thos. White and
S. T.
Wilder, Executive Committee.
The society was then addressed by
Rev. P. A. Strobel, the able and ener
getic Agent of the American Bible So
ciety for the State of North Carolina.
Trie adaress was listened to by a
arge and attentive audience, after
which a collection amounting to fifty
dollars was taken un to aid iu earning
our. the object of the Society.
The Franklin , County Bible Society
was organized in 1840, and has been
in successful operation ever since.
At the first meeting held the follow
ing officers were chosen :
Rev. John Thompson President. ,
Robert J. Shaw Vice President.
Thomas D. Fleury Secretary.
Smith Patterson Treasurer.
i"nn5' "r -w4)o took an active
part in its organization the following!
names may be mentioned :
Abraham Spencer, Thos. G. Stone,
John Bobb.tt, Ricky Furma'n, Nathan
Patterson aud any others who have
long since passed away.
Rev. Mr. btrobel preached a short,
sweet Gospel sermon Sunday night in
the Methodist church. The audience
was rather small iu consequence ol the
severe rain, wind antl nail storm late in
the afternoon. Rev. P. Ai Strobel has
made a most favorable impression1 on
our community, in const queuce 'ot his
gentlemanly and courteous deportment.
We think him the right man in the
right place, and we heartily commend
him aud his mission to the citizens of
North Carolina. God speed him in the
good work the spreading ol the Bible.
Unprecedented Freshet in ti e
Yaddin River Great Destruction
of Prorerey. From our correspon
dent R. F. 11., ot Wilkesboro, in this
State, we learn that the rate
rains in Wilkes county produced
a tremendous lreshet in the Yad
kin River, which did almost incalcua-
ble destiuction to private property, and
greatly retarding the farming operations
in that section. " :
The water in the Yadkin rose higher
than at any period within the memory
of the oldest inhabitants sweeping
away fences and submerging ploughed
fields to such an extent as to make
reparation ol the injury impossible at
this late season.
On m:'.ny farms bordering on the
river not a fence is to be seen, and the
soil which had been ploughed presents
the appearance of a peeled surface-
with deep holes here and there washed
jy the recent ifjod.
I he farmers in Wilkes are very
gloomy at the presqnt dolelul prospects
or a crop this year.
A Severe Test, On Monday the
new gas aparatus at the Yatboro House
underwent the severest test that could
have been given it, r od one that fully
satisfied the most increuuious. bome
said it would not burn in the hot months
of July and August, while others af
firmed that one freezing night in Dc
cember would put a stop to its brillian
cy. To show all of this mistake, a coi
of pine, one hundred leet long, was run
through a hall barrel and in this barre
hot water was poured to raise the tern
perature lar above that of the hottest
day. The water was poured off and ice
and salt substituted and permitted to
remain for two hours and, we are happy
to say, that neither extreme made the
slightest difference in the light. Besides
being brilliant it has tbe advantage of
being cheap and perfectly safe.
Supreme Council. The Supreme
Council of the Fiiends of Temperance,
in the United States, will meet in this
city on the 24th day of June next. On
which occasion some of . the most emi
nent temperance workers of the country
will visit Raleigh. Our people may ex
pect some fine speeches on that occa
sion. "'. ' ' '; ' ' -.''" .

tbe old Fair Grounds this afternoon.
SATUR DAY MORNING.
Louisecrg a!m Franklin County
Items. Our Louisburg correspondent
sends us the following from his section :
The rain on the afternoon ot the 8th
inst. (Thursday) is universally conceded
to be one of the heaviest and most de
structive in its effects ever known in this
section. Fences were washed away, and
growing crops of corn, cotton, &c., de
stroyed. The hail storm on the follow
ing Sunday was unexpected an.d very
injurious, blowing down fences and
greatly damaging young fruit, wheat,
cotton and breakipg out window panes,
&c, One gentleman, near Maple Spring
church, had upwards of one hundred
paries of glass broken in his dwelling
and kitchen.
On Wednesday Mr. II. J. Calisher
met w ith a most singular and miracu
lous escape. He was driving down to
his store on Sandy Creek (Major Speed's
old place) in a one horse spring wagon,
and when near Col. 1 J. F. Jones' mill
hoisted his umbrella, which
frightened
the horse, causing him to daub. off. In
a moment the wagwwas capsized,
catching Mr. C. under the body. In
this unpleasant predicament Mr. C.
remained from 12 m. to 7 p. m., only
extricating himself by cutting through
the bottom of the wagon vith-a large
pocket knife. In the meantime the
horse succeeded by a series of violeit
maneuvers in releasing himself from the
gear and proceeded to graze in the
neighborhood, and wdien Mr. C. got
from under the wagon followed him
quietly to the store, a mile distant. Mr.
C. was badly bruised and injured about
the shoulders, head and hands, and the
horse lost an eye in beating his head
against the ground. We are glad to
hear that Mr. C. is rapidly recovering
from his hurts.- His escape from death
or serious injuries was a narrow one.
On Tuesday last Mr. Calisher met
with another misfortune, lie lost his
beautiful black Canadian horte ''Prince
John. The horse sickened and died
very suddenly, and it is conjectured
that he was poisoned, as the post mortem
did not shsw grubs, colic or anything
of that kind.
After long years of endeavor, we have
at last got a daily mail from Franklin
ton, and it is a source of great con
venience to the people.
Marrying is, aud will be, the order of
the day with us lor several weeks to
come ; the preachers leading and mer
chants, editors, Occ, following suit. Mil
liners are kept very busy. The west
and the east have joined hands.
Major D. S. Hilt is improving.
It is said that the pbysicans of the
central and eastern part of the State
will generally attend the Convention of
the North Carolina Medical Association
whic'i convenes at Statesville on the

Arriving at the hotel at the Springs,
ic day was spent in innocent amu-e-
mcr.ts, in which all enjoyed themselves
to their hearts' content. Dinner was
soon announced, and the happy party
sat down to tables groaning beneath
he weight of excellent food. The ex
cursionists leached the city on the their
return, at half past seven, when their
pastor, Dr. Atkiuson, returned thanks
to God lor the blessings iust enioved,
and all went to their homes delighted
with the trip. .
