Ari'LEwiirrE Rich a rdsojt, Esq., A Hale and Hearty Octogenarian We interviewed Applewhite Richard son, Jr., Esq., ot this county, and learn ed from him the following remarkable facts concerning his family history: lie is a son of Applewhite Richardson, Sr., of E trps'boro, Johnston county, a gen tleman well-khcwn in the counties of Wake, Johnston and Nash. Mr. Rich ardson, Senior, is now in his eighty -fourth year, ar.d is as hale and hearty as a man of lil'ty. He has twenty-five Iving children, sons and daughters, and two dead. He has been married three times. Hi3 last wife who is yet living, is a dauthter of J. Murray Stone, of ISlash county,- wtio has represented Grunvibe and Nash counties injthe Gen eral 'Assembly. - Mr. R.char'dson, Senior has at thi3 time two hundred and.thirty two living descendants,,' children, grand-children and gn at grand-children, all residing in the Earpsboro section. The old man himself, although more than four score years ol age, attends all the political meetings in his neighbor hood, together with all i lie frolics of the young folks, including pic-mcs quiltings, &c. Within the last twelve months, Jie attended one ol the latter, and remained up all night, enjoying the dunce, in which he is an expert, and putting many of the young men to shame by the ease and gracefulness ot his maneuvered , Mi . Richardson has a fine bay horse which he purchased thirty years ago in Baltimore, the horse being thcu six years ot age. He is now as fat as a seal and live'y as a buck and occasion ally brings his master to Raleigh, a dis tance of eighteen miles and returns the same day. M;i. Richardson is one of nature's finest type3 of an octogenarian and bids fair to reach one hundred vears. Mr. Richardson's youngest child is about two, years ot age. Fun and Laughter Wm.

The net Droceeds will be donated to the Orphan Asylum at Oxford, and the Youn" Men s unristian Association 01 this cfiv. This of itself should induce a general turn-out of our people. But the distinguished character of the lec turer and the lecture, will assure a ful house. This will make the 331th time Mr Barnes has delivered this lecture. A native Georgian, a popular speaker and a tienetolent otyect will, we preaicr, ni Tucker JJall to its Utmost. A Rare Opportunity - Phil Tbiem Esq., the family grocer and liquor dealer, oners a splendid opportunity to any one who wishes to go in the business.

Kirkland, of Hillsboro, and i. i. is. rierce. of Halifax, were retris tered at the Yarborough House yester- THE STRIKE IN THE CITY. The strike now in vogue among a good mauy of the laborers and mechan ics, in thi3 city, of both colors, remains about the same as at the close of our last report. As we understand it, none of the bosses express any hostility to the Jen hour system, and only ask that they be given an opportunity to get the time contracts off their hands, and promise that on and after the first of August to commence operations under the ten hour system. This overture the men refuse and contend for an immediate compliance with their demands. .We have heard it stated, but do not vouch for its truth, that the strikers.in the va rious branches of trade, will insist on an increase of wages as soon as their present demands are complied with. vVe were sorry to learn that thst there is a prospect of this strike extending to farm laborers. We hope this is not so, asitwill only tend towards throwing back the farmers without gaining for the strikers any corresponding advan tage. But there is one curious development in this matter. The women have en tered into.it, and what do we now hear but that the washer-women have struck. Whether they are on the time or money question we have not been informed. We regard this as the most serions calamity ot all. Our leek ings are aroused because the ladies are so deeply interested. The inconvenience which this strike may put-them to may be better imagined than descrbed. Verb sap sat. We hope these ladies of the tub will take the "sober second thought" before they plunge the community into such dire distress. By all the shades of immaculate linen we appeal to them not to wring a too hard bargain out of their customers. The meeting of the strikers at the Court House last evening was largely attended, especially as regards the col ored element. Mr. Webb Belvin called the meeting to order. He nominated Mr. Nick Per ry to fill the Chair. Mr. P. was unani mously elected, but did not come for ward to claim the honor. Mr. Zack Potter was then elected, but he also fail ed to-put in an appearance. .Mr. Thos. Coates was next elected to the position and accepted it. Mr. Coates; in assuming the Chair, explained the object of the meeting to be the adoption of the ten hour system in the labor of this section. Mr. Coates then entered into--a rather lengthy dis- uisition in regard to the advantages of this system, &c. Mr. Len H. Royster was elected Sec retary, but he begged to be excused. Mr. C. D. Upchurch was then nominated nd elected to the position, and proceed- d to discharge its duties. Mr. M. V'B. Gilbert.from a Committee on the part ot Raleigh Typographical Union, appeared and read a series ot resolutions passed by the Union, in re gard to this movement. The resolu tions endorsed the ten hour system but deprecated strikes as injurious, not only to the employer but to the laborer and the good ot society.and ottered encour agement and support to all classes of mechanics who are endeavoring to se cure a just antl fair remuneration for honest labor. . ' James H. Harris, colored, being called on, next addressed the meeting. He endorsed the present movement, and urged the necessity of organization in order to achieve its ends. He endorsed he resolutions of the Typographical Unionespecially as to the deprecation of strikes, &c. The Chairman announced that Messrs. Betts, Allen & Co., had conceded to the requirements of this movement,and had sent wcrd to their workmen to go to work under the ten hour system. Mr. Henry Keith next addressed the meeting. He was in favor ot any organi zation ot white mechanics- looking to ust protection of labor, but he was ut terly opposed to any disorganized and rash movement, &c. On motion ot Mr. Sid Bryan, all the mechanics present in favor ot the movement, came forward and enrolled their names. A resolution of thanks to Betts, Al en & Co., was adopted. 1 A resolution of thanks to the Raleigh Typographical Union was also adopted. 1'he meeting adjourned to meet this evening at Metropolitan Hall. " Tub Mordecai-McCarty Duel.-t- Messrs. Tabb, Trigg, Meredith and Royall, the seconds in the Mordecai- McCarty duel, are now in confinement in the Richmond city jail. The Whiff, of Tuesday says : i "The seconds in the recent duel are comfortably domiciled in an upper room of the city jail, which has been well furnished by their relatives and friends, and their meals are supplied lrom a first-class restaurant. They are supplied with books and papers, and their friends callon them frequently. There is some unfair comment on all ; this, lor none of these privileges are ever denied any prisoner merely held for tiial,except the upper room, which, of course, cannot be granted everybody ; but Cnahoon and Sands had an upper room in the jail, and so did O'Day and others. Mr. McCarty is suffering acutely from his wound in the right hip, which is now suppurating. His right leg is stiff and has to be lifted about when it-is desired to move it. It is feared that the ball may have entered his groin, instead ot haying been deflected and lodged in the flesh of the buttock, as at first supposed. However, there has been no probing to determine positive ly the direction and lodgment of the ball." Correction. Hilliard Bishop, the contractor lor digging cellars, requests us to say that our article jn reference to his acceding to the ten hour demand is incorrect ; that he still works by the Briggs' time, gives the Briggs' prices, and his hands have not. even offered to strike. We gladly make the correction in justice to Bishop. r Cantata. The beautiful Cantata, "An hour in Fairy Land," will be ren dered by the young ladies of St. Mary's on to-morrow evening. The impersonations are, Queen of the Fairies, Fairy Cricket, Fairy Fun, Fairy Content, Fairy True Heart, Fairy Good Will, two Flower Girls, four Maids of Honor, and other attendants. The fol lowing is a synopsis of the Cantata: When the clock strikes twelve, at the last stroke, the music begins, and the procession enters in the following order: The Five Fairies with their attendants come in singing the chorus, in the in tervals ot which, Fairies Cricket and Content sing each a solo!. The Queen enters, preceded by the : Flower Girls, and followed by her .Maids - of Honor and other -attendants. They march twice around the stage, conduct the Queen to her throne and greet her with a song ot'welcome ; after which Fairy Content sing a Solo. The Queen rises, is saluted by her subjects, and responds in a Solo, calling upon the Faiiies to report the success of their respective missions. To the one most successful, a crown is to "be awarded. The five Fairies, each in turn, yvalk up to the throne, salute her Majesty, and then join the general chorus. Fairy Chricket now comes forward with a Solo recounting her exploits in a cheerful and united household. At the close she raises her magic wand, a family circle is disclosed, and the concealed chorus break forth in " Home, Sweet Home" Fairy Fun ushers in the second tableau, a lively "Winter Scene,"- with the same preliminaries. As the strains of Fairy Content die upon the ear, she lifts her ,vand and a trio of Italian Minstrels is revealed. Fairy True Heart now comes forward and "wakes the heart to gentle love," which eees its fruition in tableau fourth, "Lift's Golden, Wedding Bay. ,"' Fairy Good-Will's Solo comes as a prelude to the "Christmas Tree," which, with its accessions, forms the fifth and last tableau. The Queen now sings her farewell song, and Fairies Good-Will and Con tent receive the promised crowns. With the singing of the "Good-Niglit Chorus," the procession retires, and the perfor mances closes. Romance in Real Life. Within the precincts of that ancient and venera ble village of Hillsboro, a romance in real life has recently occurred. It has startled the old hamlet from its lethargy ot years and given to its faint pulse a somewhat stronger beat. After the lapse ot nearly a century, Hillsboro has a sensation and is now making the most ot.it. We now proceed to relate the circumstances as they were related unto us: .. Some months ago a citizen of this refined and historic town, for rea sons which seemed good unto him, mi grated to the State of South Carolina and entered the employ of an agricul turist of that State, as a farm laborer, ne worked well and soon established himself in the confidence of his employ er. One day he (the laborer) received a letter from his home, penned by the fair hand of his danghter, and happen ing to open it in the presence of the employer, when a , photo graph of the lair writer was dis closed. The planter was at onje smitten with the charms represented en the tiby bit of pasteboard. On his heart was engraven the reflex of the beauteous representation. Love took possession of him. His soul was filled with the bright image and his heart thrilled with those tender and trembling emotions inspired by first and passionate love. A correspondence ensued and soon an engagement entered into. On last Sabbath evening the romantic lov er arrived in Hillsboro, saw his ladv love for the first time, and married her on Monday morning bright ani early. The groom bad decidedly the advan tage of the bride in years, he a sapling of some 35 years of age, and she a ten der bud upon whom the breath of Sum mer has been blown but twelve times. No cards. A Narrow Escape; a few nights since a young gentleman of this city paid a visit to a 'young lady in the Eastern part of the city. Returning at a late hour and when near the Old Bap tist Grove he was attacked by a tre mendous boar that was roaming around loose, seeking whom and what he might devour. Discretion in this case being the bet ter part of valor, our young friend sought safety in flight. The race was for- a fence about two squares distant, and that Lad often been cleared at one bound by the young gen tleman and which he hoped to reach in safety, but unfortunately'for him he was doomed to disappointment. A deep gulley that ran alongside the fence was entirely forgotten in the excitment and in went our young friend, perorm ing the dificult feat of a double somer sault to the bottom of the gulley. The hog now had the advantage, and theconsequeuces would have been, in all probability, terrible, but for the timely appearance on the scene of action of the owner of the hog, who promptly com manded the peace, and thus relieved our friend f from his truly alarming situa tion. . We call the attention of those who have the ma ter in hand, to the fact that hogs are roving the streets at large all over the city, day and night, and now since limb and life, as well as property is endaugered, we must complain of the hog catcher. Election to Fill Vacances. We are requested by "his Excellency, Gov, Caldwell, to state that the election to fill the several vacancies in the Legislature will take place on the first Thursday in August next. We believe there are two vacancies in the Senate, caused by the resignation of Messrs. Stilley and Res pass and two in the Hovsc ot Represen tatives occasionediiy the resignation of R. C. Badger, of Wakej,,and Alfred J. Morrison, of Lincoln. Destruction op tite Court House at Plymouth. The Plymouth corres pondent of the Norfolk Virginian, un der date of May 15th, gives the follow ing account of the destruction of the Court House at that place by the torch of the incendiary : " On reaching the Court House it was discovered that the building was fired in the S. C. Clerk's office, which had been entered by an incendiary and burglar combined, who had broken the safe open in a scientific manner, and extracted all the moneys therefrom, in cluding seven hundred dollars belong ing to the children ot A. T. Waters, deceased. The remaining contents of the safe, one or two books and a small carpet sack was all that was saved from the Clerk's office ; everything else perished. .., ,- " WILLS NEARLY A CENTURY OLD, with other documents, books and papers that went through the war safe ly, and of untold value to our country, were forever destroyed. The Register's office was also in the building, but in a different part from where the fire originated, which made it an easy task, comparatively, to save the books, &c; it was impossible to save the building. Fortunately, it was a part of the town that ha3 not been rebuilt since the war, thereby not en dangering any other houses. It is thought the burglary wa3 com mitted by the same fiend who robbed the postoffice in this place some time ago. Would that justice could over take him." Don Piatt's Opinion of Miss Pat terson. The Capital, Don Piatt's paper, published at "Washington City, gives the following account in its issue of the 18th inst., of Miss Jeanie Patter son's readiDg in Masonic Temple in that city : ;; ! 41 We seldom see such an audience as that assembled at Masonic Temple on last Monday evening' to hear Miss Jeanie Paterson. Our oldest and best citizens turned out to greet the young lady, and awarded her genenous ap plause. For many reasons Miss Pater son deserves the liberal patronage she received. Personally she is a beautiful, reliued, and cultivated woman. De prived by the late war of a competency, she has risen superior to misfortune, and in her noble efforts to sustain and educate younger relatives, the high mo tive which has brought her before the public, she stands a bright example not only to her sisters ot the South but to her sex throughout the land. We can not now dwell upou all of Miss Patter son's selections, but will say that in her rendition of Tennysoj's Dora there was a naturalness, a sweetness, and power that showed the true artist and carried with her the sympathy of the audience. The Caudle Lecture was simply inimi table. If poor Caudle's fellow Masons suffer as much as he, we certainly pity the brotherhood. Miss Patterson's voice lacks somewhat in strength, but it is one of rare melody. The selection of a room was unfortunate. Masonic Temple was not built lor such pur poses, and is not well adapted for read ings or speaking. In epite of these drawbacks the entertainment was one of the most refined and pleasing ever given in Washington. The piano solos of Miss Brandt wrere charmingly exe cuted, and added greatly to the enjoy ment of the audieocc." Celebration of the 20th of May in Raleigh, Firemens Parade. The Rescue Fire Steam Company and the Hook and Ladder Company, of the Fire Department of this city, paraded yes terday afternoon in honor of the Meck lenburg Declaration of Independence. The beautiful floral decorations with which the Rescue engine and reel and the Hook and Ladder truck were adorned, was the ...work.'of fair and nim ble fingers, and to these ladies our gal lant firemen make their best bows and return their heartiest thanks. The Rescue displayed its power by throwing a stream of water full forty feet above the dome of the Capitol. The Citizens' Cornet Band furnished the music for the parade, and well did they acquit themselves. For the first time they ap peared in their handsome new uniform. This uniform is a good deal like that of the old Oak City Guards, and its very sight brings up a thousand pleasant recollections of Raleigh in by-gone days. Important to Land Owners. The attention of our readers who may own land or have any land interests of any character in Texas, is directed to the card of George H. Snow, Esq., Attor ney at-Law in this city, who has estab lished an agency in Texas. MrSnow is too well known "in this community for his prompt business hab its and his entire reliability in every res pect, to need any endorsement at our hands ; but to persons unacquainted with him, we can say they cannot con fide their business to a more diligent and faithful attorney. As the statute of limitatiDns in Texas Pwill soon bar all land claimants, it will oc well for persons interested to corres pond with ih Snow at once. . . Board of County Commissioners.

Editor's of Daily News : i The following answer to an appeal made for the Orphan Asylum, was re ceived by me to-day : "Mrs. S. A. Elliott, Oxford, 2V. C., 2V". C. Orphan Asylum : Madam : I am instructed by the Board of Directors to present the N. C. Orphan Asylum with a Washing Ma chine, which I take pleasure in shipping to you to-day. Hoping it may reach you safely, I am, madam, Very respectfully, D. T. Morrison, Agent Old Dominion Domestic Manufacturing Co., 723 Main St., Richmond, Va." This valuable present, (the best Wash ing Machine thac has ever been offered,) lrom our sister State, to aid the most essential requisite for comfort.-luxury and health deserves the highest enco niums of the North Carolina press. Read it, ye sons and daughters and imi tate the example by aiding the noble institution to the best of your ability. That is all we ask, and that with great pride I can truthfully record of Oxford and Granville county. Scarcely a day passes without some noble act being entered on the Asylum's register from Oxford. To-day Mr. J. C. Cooper and Henry Bryan presented the boys (twenty-five) with a summer uniform of jackets and pants, and our ladies are busy making up bolts of calico to uni form the girls, given by Mr. Cozehart on last Wednesday. Plain as our town may appear m some respects to the stranger's eye, it possesses a wealth of in calculable value in the souls and gener ous hearts of her citizens. Every call of charity meets with a liberal response. The founders and benefactors of the Orphan Asylum may in after years glance over the pace of records and find there the names of many citizens worthy a patriots praise, "for every good man is a patriot," and he who, by diligence, instruction and example, helps to train youth honorably and assists the cause of education deserves the affectionate thanks of grateful hearts. In making this Asylum the fond ob ject of their care and love, may these citizens ot Oxford live to see it increase in usefulness and power, and when their sun has set, may it stand the strength of sound wisdom, in all the majesty of virtue, in all the beauty of holiness as a blessing to their State and honor to the children forever.
