Those who didu't couch seemed an noyed by those who did aud several ti uits would turn their heads from t he preacher to look at those breth ren and sisters who had bail colds, as much as to say: !I wish you wouldn't cough so ; I can't half eujoy the ser mon."'

Ail extract front an address delitered before Haw River Academy, . C, by II. I". Long, Ksq off.raham, C In view of these consider ations. I will make a brief comparison of North Carolina, educationally, with the StalVttf Virginia and Mass achusetts, the one adjoining us, and having about equal facilities; the other more remote and possessing, in s me respects, advantages which North C uolina and Virgina do not enjoy. - I refer you to the report of the commissjoni r of educa tion for' the year. Is71. It shows us that in the same year, with school populations not very widely varied that Virginia spent over twice as much upon her public schools a North Carolina and Massachusetts -pent triyi thiirs as much; that Massaebu-etts gave about three times as much to her male teachers as Vir ginia and North Carolina and more to her femnl s : that the duration of the schools in Virginia was more than twice as long as our9 and in Massachusetts neatly four times as long; that the averatre daily attend ance in Massachusetts far exceeds that in both the other States. North Carolina during the same year cent to College l!07 males and !Mi females; Virginia 1,7() males and l.iKio females; Massachusetts '2 M4 males ami 014 females. It is not my purpose, in presenting theseiatistics to speak derogatory of my na i ve Sta e, or make an invidious coiupari-on. " The necessity of the education of he people Is imperative in consider a'ion of the association of crime with ignorance. All l;isfory attests the fact ttiat the most caFarnitous evils and scourues that have befallen na t ions, have prevailed among the most barbarous. The must cruel wars wtiose recital sickens the heart of hu manitv, were waged by nations the most uncultivated by the n-lhiements of civiliz- d life. The ferocity of Scy thians and Saiaeenic wars was due to an uiitutored Milidery and a heathen conimandery. The middle ages, wilh its superstitions and benighted rnul titinhs, present as a hemispheric I al tie-ground and a prolonged har v. si of death. And thus Mr. Long went oi, toshow that ignorance a id crime went together in war and peace; hut we have not space for the remainder of his able address. He appealed to the young men to do all intheir power to build up our noble University. Heavy storm. We learn that heavy thunder storms and rains visited Charlotte and (Jreensboro on Sunday and Sun day night, extending tlown the whole length of the road with di mi dshlng force as far as: ridlsboro. We hear of no damage being done. The Chapter No. 10, R. A. will meet to-night at half-past 7 for spe cial work. Members are all invited to attend. Interrupting a Procession of Girls Two Youuj Men Severely Punished. Last Sunday night as a procession of young ladies were on their way from one of the churches fhey were rudely interrupted by a number of young men. A younar. lawyer of this town snatched out the young men from among the gtns and gave chase to a third party over wnose back he broke a hickory stick. A policeman happened up Just in time and ordered these youths for trial before Mayor Manly the next morning. The mat ter was argued pro and con by counsel and finally resulted in May or Manly fining each of the love's idlers twenty-five dollars and re gretted his inability by the law to make it any more, and aho bound them oyer to court in the sum of three hundred dollars. It was a jusr decision and a decent and respectable public will rejoice in it. There is one thing young men who won't work must learn, and that law, ard that police, is only a blessing to a community, when, to use the language of the mayor, they "spot" all such and teach it to them, and it h this: They cannot dawdle and drink around these streets and hang like nuisances around those that do work, nor can they roaro like savages these stree's at night frightening even ladies from going to church without a rear guard to protect them from rude and boister ous assaults. The truth is, too much liquor is at the bottom of all these mischiefs, and the man no matter who he be who shows too much li quor on the street should at once be nabbed and marched to the place where he is, hound to cool ofF. A drunken man has no more business at large tlran a crazy, one. Let the police see to this and they will do more good than all the temperance societies in the State.

The ladies sewing society of the Presbyterian church pays twelve dollars every month on the debt ol that church find the missionary soci ety has ju-t sent out forty-one dol lars for the 1 tst quarter to the heath ens. And this i- the case with the lady societies in all ihe other churches; their hands are busy and their thoughts running on their church while the ' men down street don't know a word of it or think a thought about it until the time comts for something to be done for the church and then it is that woman, blessed woman, steps forward anil says, "See here, we can do it."

Beautiful Display of Roots, Herbs, F'lowers, &c.; to be Exhibited at the Centennial by the North Carolina HerbariumPassing Glances of a Reporter Cost of the Collection $3,000 A Peep Into tbe Life of North Carolina Greatest Botanist, Statesville, N, C. March 11. '76, For the benefit of those persons who will not be able to attend tbe Centennial Exhibition, at Philadei nhia, Mr. M. E. Hayes, the efficient botanist and scientist who has entire control of tbe North Carol inia Her barium, which is the largest of the kind in the South and which is lo cated in this town, determined to give tbe citizens of this vicinity an opportunity of seeing how States- yule was to be represented at the great American Centennial, tie ar ranged the collection consisting of twenty-five or thirty thousand dif ferent specimens designated by a neatly printed label and in which collection no time or expense .was kept from making the display the very best, and exhibited free in Statesville opera hall for three days, commencing on Wednesday laat. The first two days of the exhibition a vast amount of interest was mani fested in it. At times the large and commodious hall was thronged with people of this and the adjacent coun ties, most of whom, upon entering the hall, were astounded with sur prise at seeing such an elaborate and beautiful display, and at seeing such a vast variety of the vegetable king dom, all of which, with the excep tion of two specimeus, were grown in this State. PASSING GLANCES OF A REPORTER. Upon entering the door the first specimen that attracted our attention was a magnificent representation of "the fruits of the medical plants of North Carolina." consisting of four hun- Ired different specimens, cased in sixteen large glass top boxes, at a cost of not less than two dollars each. Next, was a collection of three hun dred different specimens of mosses taken from the hills and valleys of Western North Carolina, in boxes somewhat handsomer than those mentioned in the above paragraph. The "floral kingdom of North Caro lina" will be represented, consisting of one hundred and fifty specimens, trranged in a most tasty style in commodious glass top cases. There may be seen, m addition to the portraits which will be mentioned below, seven hundred glass covered walnut frames containing an equal number of botanic snecimens, mount ed ou card-board, and the properties of omeof which, are illustrated by appropMateVpictures prepared for the occasion; the size of these frames will average 17x21 inches, costing the respectable sum of twelve hun dred and fifty dollars. There Will tlso be seen five hundred nicely ar ranged glass top cases, 5x8 and 3 inches deep, containing the crude medical substauces used bv all Drug- gests and Chemists throughout the entire world, in addition to which there are mauy deleterious sub stauces which have been placed and sold on the market for genuine arti cles; and, within the last few months. t iere has been about fifty new dis coveries of these substances, some of which are held in high repute and with considerable demand. One hundred and forty varieties of care fully t'immed and labelled medical woods were exhibited. One of the finest specimens of Tuckahoe, weigh ing twenty-five pounds, which was plowed from one of the North Caro lina fieids was to be seen. Tuckahoe being parasitic it draws its substance from other roots; it is noted for its fine properties for making bread and starch. "Man in the ground," or the wild potato. weighing about one hun dred and fifty pounds, attracted special attention of many of the her- hiferons admirers. An exquisitedis- play of plants and herbs was to be seen iu large jars, preserved in alco hol. We especially noticed a nne specimen of the deadly poison, corn fungus, which, upon application to the mouth causes instant death of either herbiferou9 or corniferous an imal, and which farmers ought to be careful not to gather when they do the rest of their corn. The only lants not taken from this State, to be exhibited at the Centennial by the North Carolina Herbarium , are Eucalyptus robusta, Oundlla Iqua mosa and the Grindelia robusta. which were imported by Wallace Brothers from California, aud which they have recently introduced into North Carolina. We also had tne pleasure of seeing on exhibition one of the finest collections of bird-eggs that has ever come within the sphere of our optics, commencing at large ostrich's and descending to the wee humming-bird's. Among the por traits of many celebrated botanists and scientists the following seem d to attract more than the usual amount of admiration: First came the renowned botanist, John King, of Cincinatti.wbo stands at the head of the botanic fraternity; second, William Proctor, Sr., the discoverer of Lobelia; third, Robert F. New ton and Samuel ritchill. the fa mous eclectic writers, the latter of whom is at present President of Eclectic Medical Society of the city of New York, surrounded by his use ful discoveries Gelseminin officinalis; fourth, one of the best likenesses of the celebrated "Dr. L. Stanton, to whom the whole civilized world is indebted for the discovery of Ptota Pectata, one of the most important medicines of the present day, which was in a large handsome frame sur rounded by some of this herb grown in North Carolina; Dr. Stanton also acquired considerable fame as an ecclectic writer. A portrait of tbe celebrated botanic sketchist, Miss Emelie Lawton, accompanied by some of Iter admirable work, was one of the fi-iest specimens of botanic penciling that has ever been produced. Messrs. Wallace Brothers, the en ergetic proprietors of the North Caro lina Florbarium, have in preparation a 200 page 8 mo book, giving the names and properties of each and every specimen to be on exhibition, printed in English, German and French. A PEEP INTO THE LIFE OF NORTH CAROLINA'S GREATEST BOTANIST. Mr. M. E. Hyauis, the scientific botanist, to whom tbe people of North Carolina, yes, of the United States, are indebted for the collection of the many botanic substances, for the pur pose of enhancing the "Old North State," in the estimation of the world, by exhibiting and showing at the Great International Centennial, was born In Charleston, South Caro lina. He began the study of botany at a very early age, which he con tinued for many years, but at one time he gave it up to attend to the business of a chemist, which profes sion he bad learned during the many years of study in botany. At the commencement of the late civil con flict, he was called upon to serve the Confederate States government by taking charge of the Carolina Milit ary Institute, located at Charlotte, for tbe sole purpose of purchasing the medical plants of this State for the Hose or the army, wnicn amy ne per-ror-med. for several years, with the highest satisfaction to the govern ment. On his retirement a large iu- 1 ducement was extended by the gov- , ernment to retain his serices, but he declined to accept, it, preferring domestic life at his home which was then in Florida. After a short, stay in Florida he came back to North Caro lina and has resided in Statesville ever since. Hecoramencedthe pur chase of Metcria Medica plants, four years ago for the . North Carolina Herbarium, at an extravagant figure; and has- made the business entirely successful; and through bis exertions j many Important discoveries nave been brought to the notice of the medical fraternity until he has reached a climax, that affords him the highest confidence in their judgment as a botanist and scientist. J. S. R. VARIETIES. The Asheville ladies recently crave an entertainment, the proceeds from'i which are to go tewards building a residence in Richmond for the daughter of Stonewall Jackson. Old men in Petersburg who have sst since the war Inactive and honed over their pipes have just smelt ''the good time coming" for democracy and are jumping about as livtly as boys at all the political meetings. The Atlanta Courier says the Evans that holds the post trad r ships is not Augusta J., the author of'Beulab," which may be-all so, but still she ts a Belknapper if get ting up at ten in the morning to drink a cup of tea is any sign. We can't say about the "small foot." We sincerely sympathize with one of our up country editors who has recently had all the hair in his head torn out by the roots by an indignant old lady. The editor in reporting the country frolic wrote that the old ladv had to go home, as she was at tacked with a bad spell of the hicups. i The compositor made it kickups. The editor of tbe Rutherford Re gime makes the startling proposition to bis brother editors that they all close their offices from the first day of June until the first of September and recreate during the interval at the different watering places a.d in the mountains. He says the people don't half appreciate their home pa pers and be wants to teach them what it is to be without them. But what was his surprise when an old country chap replied to him that he'd Rutherford him to slop the business than not. Palitka Herald; We learn that the Indian mound on Murphy's Is land was opened, or rather entered by a party on Wednesday last. This mound is one of the largest on the river, and has excited moe than or dinary interest among our scientific isrors. J5ut colonel nart, proprie tor of the island upon which the is land mound stands, heretofore per. sisted in bis refusal to have this relic of pat ages disturbed. Oil-Wednes day, however, it was resolved to in spect this monument of prehistoric age. A party from the Putnam, with others, took steamerefor the is land, where they ar.ived in good time. It was agreed to opn the mound at its base. After making a breach of thirty-five feet, they dis covered a hard wall made ofCoquiua or shell rock. This wall was cement ed, and was ornamented with vari ous figures of warriors with bows and arrows, and various reptiles. After much difficulty a breach was made in tbe wall, and by the light of a torch,, several of the party entered ; much surprised, they found them selves within a vault eight feet high with a room twelve by fifteen feet long with armed warriors encased in niches, all in a state of petrifaction. This is certainly a most wonderful discovery, and has produced a pro found sensation, in view or tnis important discovery, Col. Hart has j stationed a guard to prevent parties I making way with these wonderful ; objects. Murphy's Island will, no doubt, become the Mecca -r of the St. John's river.
