THE DAILY ERA.
MONDAY, JAN. 13th, 1873.
Local and News Department.
Cotton Market.
Up to 4 P. M., to-day there had been
69 bales of cotton brought to this city.
Price 18J. Price in New York 20g.
Gold at 12J.
Cow-hiding in Charlotte.
We learn that Mr. Tom Tate met old
Mr. Gifford on the street in Charlotte
yesterday and struck him a few blows
with a cowhide. Mr. G. retreated. Mr.
G. is a conductor on the Charlotte and
Rutherford Road.
Mill Burnt.
We learn that the Old Red Mill," at
Linwood, between Lexington and Salis
bury, was set fire to last night and de
stroyed. The property belonged to E.
M. Holt, and we understand that some
cotton was stored in it at the time.
To the Police A Boy Lost.
Mr. Kernodle of Alamance county
has lost his son. The boy ran away
from home. The old gentleman has
sent us a picture of this youth and you
can call at the Era office and get it. He
offers live dollars reward, and has heard
that his boy is in this city. Come and
get the picture and look sharp for the
young runaway. His father's address
is A. R. Kernodle, Martin's Store, Al
amance county.
Train Detained.
The mail this morning on the North
Carolina road reached this city at 9
o'clock instead of seven., The shoulder
of the engine broke at Thomasville and
it was sometime before they co'uld
patch it up so as to tiavel. Went slow
until reaching Company Shops when
got a new engine. President Buford
was aboard until they reached Greens
boro. There he had to lay over as the
Richmond train had gone.
Leasburg;--A Centenarian &c.
We have uews from Leasburg, Cas
well county, that Mr. James Shanks, a
well known farmer to the county, is
very ill, inflammation of the stomach.
Mr. Wm. Lea, senior, of Leasburg, is
now in his hundred and first year. Dur
ing the late cold snap he had to have a
boy in his room all night long piling up
the wood on the fire to keep him from
freezing. As old as Mr. Lea is, he never
uses specs, and reads the finest print
without difficulty.
Northern Visitors.
We are pleased to welcome in our
city George D. Lobdell, Esq., president
of the Lobdell Car Company in Wil
mington, Delaware. He is en route for
the Chatham iron mines in the opera
tion of which he has made considerable
investment. Mr. Wm. A. Brown, of
Taunton, Massachusetts, accompanies
Mr. Lobdell, his first visit ever made to
our Southern country. Mr. Brown says
he has realized for the first time the
meaning of the term " Sunny South "
and is much enchanted with our delight
ful climate.
The Champion Brood Sow.
The sow that beats them all has just
been heard from down in Granville
county. Mr. James Fuller near Kit
trells', the father of our esteemed friend,
the head clerk of the Yarborough House,
has a sow that gave birth the other
night to nineteen pigs and they are all
doing well. This sow was some of the
well known George Johnson stock in
Milton and was given Mr. 'Fuller by
Mr. Johnson, who, by the way, his
friends will be glad to learn, is in good
health and lives near Mr. Fuller's house
in Granville county.
Hiilsboro Durham and Li
quor Preaching-, &c.
Something unusual, about twelve
bales of cotton have recently been seen
in Hiilsboro, raised in Orange county.
We hear of one or two farmers around
there who have been going it heavy on
tobacco, who will plant, a half crop of
cotton this year. The Durham liquor
sellers were refused license by the
board of commissioners of that little
town, last week, who thought they had
the right to prohibit them ; but the li
quor men applied to C. E. Parrish, Esq.,
in Hiilsboro, who in looking at the
charter for the town of Durham, saw
nothing there giving the town commis
sioners such right, so he went before
the board of county commissioners, es
tablished the good moral character of
the applicants, and as under the old re
vised code they are required, the com
missioners granted the license, and the
Durham non liquorists .were thrown as
high as a kite. They held a meeting
right off, and told the county commis
sioners to look out, they needn't be after
getting their votes any more for any
thing. Durham was as mad as a bull
about it and hasn't got pleased yet. The
sellers are quietly and pleasantly re
tailing the fluid. Dr. Smedes of this
city preached at Episcopal Church, last
night. And Mr. Harris, new Methodist
minister, preached his first sermons in
that place, yesterday. The Orange Ho
tel is giving general satisfaction.
Our State.
Tarboro has the whoopirigcough.
Knee deep to an Indian pony is

Aunt Diana Lane (colored) of
New Hanover was boiling clothes when
she was burnt to death. Her dress
caught.
Neal Brawley, 60 years, of Ire
dell, drowned in Third creek. The water
was high, and trying to find the bridge
he rode into the creek just above it.
Says the "Statesville American:
Our friend, Thomas J. Bark ley, and
lady, in company with a party of jtoiiog
gentlemen from this section, took their
departure for Hiilsboro, 111., last Mon
day. Says the Newbern Republic : We
learn that a " Knight of the Yard Stick "
knocked at a church door (while mak
ing his New Year's calls,) two hours,
determined to leave his New (hie) Year's
card.
A witness when asked by the
Mayor of Goldsboro the other day what
he knew about the matter, replied : "The
fact is, Mayor, I was so drunk at the
time that I don't remember much about
it ; it all seems like a dream."
Says the Richmond (Va.,) Dis
patch: The head of the Department to
which the following is addressed would
find it harder to explain some of his
"irregularities" than did Mrs. SLD
Davis why she was no longer " Bigger
staff": "North Carolina Rutherford
County Oak Spring, November 2, 1870.
Postmaster-General: Sir, In Obedi
ence to your request I give an explana
tion why I signed my Quarterly returns
S L. D Davis formerly SLD Biggerstaff
is I have Marrid a Davis.
"Very respectfully, SLD Davis."
The Reidsville Record says : We
regret to announce the death of Mr.
Drury Smith of this county, by drown
ing last Friday. Mr. Smith was an old
man seventy-two years of age. He was
crossing Dan River, near Danbury, the
county site of Stokes, when his horse
stumbled and fell. The current was so
much swollen by the recent rains, that
it was impossible for him to regain his
footing. His body was discovered some
two miles below the ford. He had
about one thousand dollars on his per
son, thus has passed away an old land
mark.
Personal Intelligence.
Mr. John U. Kirkland of Hiilsboro is
at the Yarboro.
Harvey A. Deal, our esteemed young
printer, has returned to this office from

torial management of the Sentinel.
The Statesville American says : We
learn that the Hon. John Kerr, of Cas
well, has an idea of removing to this
place, with the intention of making it
his permanent residence.
Mr. Hill, doorkeeper of the House, is
in the city. He had a fine time christ
massing up in Randolph, and informs
us he killed a mighty buck with six
points on one prong and five on the
other.
The Rev. A. W. Mangum, we regret
to learn, continues so much indisposed
that he was unable to fill his pulpit at
the Methodist church yesterday. Rev.
J. B. Bobbitt preached there in the
morning and Presiding Elder Bobbitt
at night.
The Charlotte Observer pays the fol
lowing compliment to a young son of
Chief Justice Pearson : It .will be re
membered that Mr. Pearson graduated
last June at Princeton, N. J., in a class
of more than one hundred, and bore off
the first honor, delivering the valedic
tory address. He was highly compli
mented by' the Northern Press. Mr.
Pearson is a young gentleman of unu
sual talent, and bids fair to reflect some
day credit on himself and the State. He
is now engaged in the study of law at
the school of his father in Yadkin
county.

The ghost mania is already raging at
Wilmington and as a sign of its steady

The Columbia Union says : The cost
to Lexington county for the services of
three county commissioners and clerk
for the year 1872, was only $612.90 ; an
average of less than $160 each. Where
Is the county that can beat this ?
A Yankton (Daco tab) sheriff attach

Done buried.
Malone, the gambler, who was nt-
rnced at Atlanta, few days ago, to be
hanged on the twenty-fourth of Jan
uary, received the sentence with perfect
coolness, and entertained himself with a
newspaper at the conclusion of the
judge's remarks.
Officer in Atlanta blew his whistle
for a policeman. Police wouldn't-come.
He hunted him up and asked why he
didn't hearken to the sound of the
whistle. Policeman answered that he did,
but supposed it was some kind of a bird
whistling! Finale Officer instructing
policeman in the call of the whistle.
In an editorial on the horse disease,
Congrcgationalist suggested that it
might be well to sit at the leet of a horse
and learn humanity. " Just so," says
the California News Letter, " sit down
at the hind feet of a mule, and if he
don't humiliate you, pull his tail and
tickle the inside of his legs with a stable
fork !"
The Portland (Me.) Press says : " One
of our fruit dealers caught an urchin
stealing nuts yesterday, and proceeded
to administer condign punishment.
The boy begged to be released, because
he had recently been vaccinated fresh
from the cow. What the has that
to do with it?' should the infuriated
fruit dealer. 4 She was a hooking cow,
and it got into my blood,' was the whim
pering reply."
Farm-Yard Scraps.
It is a sure sign of an early spring to see a
cat intently watching a small hole in the
wall.
About bees Mr. Holcomb of Law
rence county, New York, says: Last
year bees swarmed unaccountably in
August; mine threw off seventeen
buckwheat swarms; these were all
put back but two which came out while
I was away from home. Now the pro
fessionals will say you might have
avoided all this by cutting out the queen
cells. Well, when a swarm did issue, I
did cut them out, yet in seven days they
would be ready and swarm again, so
that the hives would have to be over
hauled once in six days, causing a loss
of time in filling boxes equivalent to
about two days out of the six, so that I
prefer to trust to natural swarms, and
putting back those I do not wish to
keep.
The Lynchburg Republican says :
We were informed yesterday of one of
nature's freaks, which has something of
the marvelous in its character, but
which we have assurance is true in ev
ery particular. A week or two since a
valuable cow, belonging to Mr. Francis
B. Thornton, of Charlotte county, was
found dead on his farm, and her body
being swollen to enormous propor
tions, it was determined to open her to
discover the cause of her death. The
examination resulted in finding two
well developed calves in her body, ap
parently only a day or two from partu
rition, and the further finding of the
remarkable number of one hundred and
two calves, of sizes varying from a hen's
egg to a man's fist and all of these ex
hibiting the formation peculiar to the
kine species. This unnatural fecundi
ty Was the only cause which could be
assigned for the cow's death ; and for
an explanation of the same the learned
s&vans must be consulted.
Musical and Theatrical.
Pauline Lucca is in Boston.
The Oates troupe are in Charleston
to-night.
Joe Jefferson Rip Winkles in Wil
mington to-night.
Miss Ella Wren has a benefit in Rich
mond to-morrow night.
The Newbern Republic says : We un
derstand that the Pantomime with the
addition of acted Charades and new
music is to be repeated at the theatre on
Wednesday.
Tired.
Another man tired. This time Wm.
Henry Holland, 17 miles below here,
moved to Texas last Spring, and this
morning we find him and his little
family of children, his wife died out
there, coming back to North Carolina,
" Tired of living in Texas," he says.
Who next ?
Red Fox Caught.
During Christmas James Cates of Per
son county, 7 miles from Roxboro,
caught a beautiful red, his tail as big
as your arm and tipped with white, like
a lady's cuff, a black spot behind each
ear, his legs black nearly to the body,
and bis body perfectly red; He's a
beauty. Mr. Cates has him in a box.
Fists.
Alexander Dumas ones wrote
of his son: His imagination is the
most vivid and the most sustained that
I have ever known in a young man of
21 years. It bears uie away like a tor
rent; it shines like a half-hidden flame;
it reveals itself in reverie as in excite
ment, in quiet as in danger, in smiles as
in tears. From time to time we quarrel
with each other, and like the prodigal
son, he takes his portion and quits the
paternal mansion. On that day I buy a
calf and begino fatten it, sure that be
fore a month he will return to get his
part of it. It is true that evil-minded
people say that it is for the sake of the
calf that he comes back, and not mine ;
but I am not more than half inclined to
telisve that.','
JC Tfie Seward house in Wash
ington, where Payne stabbed him, is
now occupied by Gen. Belknap, and is
said to be an ill .'ated house. Gen. Belk
nap was himself warned of it. Said the
man to him : " Belknap, no man ever
lived in that house who did not meet
with a death, assassination or some
thing." Seward's occupation of the place
was a series of misfortunes and deaths.
When it was a club-house, the Sickles
murder, and a lot of other events of a
dark cast, took p ace in it and about it.
The consequence has been that Seward's
house has been given up as a residence,
and is now one of the military offices.
Gen. Belknap has not escaped some of
the evil occurrences of the neighbor
hood, and although he has spent four
years dutifully and quietly here, he has
lost his wife, and the eldest son is seized
with a disorder of the lungs, and has
had to go to Santa Fe for recuperation.
JG3g We do trust that we will hear
no more mention of the old people un
til a thorough airing has been given to
this article that we clip from the Wash
ington Star: The parents and grand
parents of Gen. M. D. Leggett, United
States Commissioner of Patents, are re
markable instances of human-longevity.
All of the grandparents of Geu. L. died
over ninety years of age; his fattier and
mother are living, and their unitectges
amount to over 170 years, the forriVer
being over ninety and the latter more
than eighty years of age. Notwith
standing the great age of the former he
enjoys good health, and attends to busi
ness as thoroughly and intelligently as
be did. fifty years ago. II is at f caout
executor of three estates, and on ac
count of his integrity and business
ability is frequently requested to act in
that capacity by his neighbors in Ohio.
He mounts a horse as briskly as a young
man of twenty, and rides for hours
without apparent fatigue. The only im
portant particular in which he exhibits
the effect of age is in his memory,
which is somewhat impaired. His con
sort possesses all her faculties unim
paired by age, her memory reaching
back three-quarters of a century, and
embracing every political episode with
in that period. Both bid fair to live for
many years to come.

London, Jan. 19 A despatch to the
Agent of the Associated Press at this
place, from a friend . of the Imperial
family at Chiselhurst, gives the follow
ing description of the scene there : .
"The remains of the late Emperor
have, been placed in a coffin ; the corpse
is dressed in the uniform of a Field
Marshal. The upper lip is bare; the
mustache having been cut off to facili
tate the taking a plaster cast of the face.
The beard which remains is brown and
bushy. The features are stern, and
care-worn, and have an expression of
pain. The Grand Cordon of the Legion
of Honor lies across his breast. ' The
hands are ungloved and disposed of in
an easy and natural manner: the right
hand clasping the left. On the fourth
finger of the left hand is a ring with
several diamonds, placed there by the
Empress Eugenie. A small cross of
exquisite workmanship, lies on his
breast; and on the corpse are placed
three sprigs of holly. Over the head a
crown of violets is suspended. At the
foot of the coffin is a brass camp-bedstead,
on which tho Emperor died.
Seated on either side and at the lower
end of the coffin, are the Priest and the
religiouse. The furniture of the room
as well as that of the whole mansion is
simple and unostentatious. The body
will lie in state until Tuesday in the
entrance of the Hall of the Chapel Hill.
The general public will not be permit
ted to review the remains. No change
has been made as to the time and place
of the -timwral and hnvlal t luit an
nounced. The ceremonies will proba-.
bly begin at noon on Wednesday. The
Empress is overwhelmed 'with sorrow,
and her prostration is so great as tq
alarm her attendants. The Prince Im
perial does everything in his power
to comfort her. The Empress has re
ceived letters of condolence'from the
Czar of Russia, and the King of Italy.
Although none but relatives and in
timate friends of the deceased at Chisel-,
hurt is crowded with visitors. Rellgl- f
ous services were held this morning in
the Chapel, which was filled to reple
tion. Princess Mathilde, M. Ronber,
M. Pietreo, and Drs. Connear and Cor
visart were present. , Father Goddard
attempted to preach, but was so over-
come by his feelings, that he was com-,
pelled to leave tfie pulpit.
Beneditti arrived at Chiselhurst to
day and was received by the Empress.
M. Oliver and Marshal McMahon are
expected at 3 o'clock to-morrow. Prince
Murat and suite arrived this p. m.
A groat number of people from Franco
are expected to 'come to the funeral.
The South-eastern and Northern rail-,
ways of France have reduced their rates ,
of fare for the poorer classes who may'
wish to attend the funeral.
It is expected that tho Prince Impe
rial has already assumed the title of Na
poleon IV. This report Is doubtless In
correct ; but it is true that the Prince is
now addressed as " Sir" by all visitors
at Chiselhurst.
The impression is gaining ground
that the Emperior died from the effects
of chloroform, administered to assuago
pain.
Napoleon to be Buried in France
Paris, Jan. 13. It is said the French
government will permit the final inter
ment of the remains of Napoleon In
France, if the funeral is made strictly
private, and the deceased is buried as
ex-Emperor, and not as Emperor. The
ceremonies must be simply of a reli
gious character. President Thiers is
understood to have conferred with the .
Minister of Interior and tho Prefect of ,.
Police, for tho purpose of preventing the
funeral, if it takes place in France, "
from being made an opportunity of po
litical manifestations. '
