REVISED, I3IPROV ED AND
ENLARGED.
The close of the National Campaign of
1872, with the re election ol President
Grant, is a
NKVV ERA
in North Carolina, the South, and the
whole country, it is worth while to take
note of, lor it marks tne beginning oi
an era of perfect
Peace and Reconciliation
' - 1
throughout the whole country, and
between every section of the country.
Believing that 44 peace hath her vic
tories no less renowned than war," and
that the conduct of the Southern people
can lie as illustrious in peace as the
bravery of her soldiery was noble,
grand And thrice illustrious in the late
war ; ami that in the person of Ulysses
S. Grant, the soldier with whom our
LEE crossed swords, we nave a living
and illustrious example of the renown
of the soldier in war, and the victories
of tiie civilian in peace,
THE E.EAs
from a Southern stand point has endeav
red to aid the " victories" of Peace"
by aiding the re-election of the great
ana illustrious cuizen-soiuier-i'resi-dent.
The first part of the mission of
THE ERA
i3 accomplished in the re-establishment
oi the Kopublicsm party in power lor
another four years from March next,
and now it enters upou the work of
following up that mission in gathering
and preserving the fruits of the great
National victory a victory significant
of no North, no South, no East, no
West, but of a Union restored, a people
re-united by the bonds of peace and
good will, and each and every one in the
quiet enjovment of the blessings of
LIBERTY" and tha bounties of
PROSPERITY.
THE ERA
is the offspring and product of the great
and glorious commonwealth of
NORTH CAROLINA,
for whose good and glory it is the mis
sion and the privilege of the paper,
without being sectional, to " labor and
to wait:' and whether in political
material,educationalor social argument,
it should ever be understood that this
paper is laboring only for what it deems
best and to the true interests of the peo
ple of this great State, in common with
all the great patriotic people and inter
ests of the Nation.
Whether in its diversified character
of a Family, Commercial, Political or
Industrial newspaper,
THE ERA
will strive to cultivate and promote all
the interests of its people, and in every
thing, save the advocacy of its party
principles, discard all political differ
ences, and in the interests of .
Peace, Reconciliation and
Reform,
" clasp hands " with any and all men
laboring and studying for the good of
their kind, and striving for the glory ol
their country.

We learn that the Hon. J.J. Hick
man, who is at present in our city, will
deliver a public Temperance Lecture,
on Friday evening of next week. Place
to be hereafter announced.
Sale of City L,ots.
Mr. Carter Harrison is cutting up the
land between his residence and the old
Mason parsonage into half acre lots and
streets. This - morning seven of these
lots were sold at Jones' Auction Store
for from four to five hundred dollars
per lot.
Hudson Degree Temple.
There will be a meeting of Hudson
Degree Temple, I. O. of G. T. on Mon
day evening January 20th, at 7 o'clock,
at the Lodge Room.
J. J. Hickman, R. W. G. C. will be
present and exemplify the work. Mem
bers of the subordinate Lodge, who
have not taken the degrees will have an
opportunity of so doing. .
The North Western Road.
We have intelligence this
morning
that this road is already finished and the
cars running from Greensboro to Ker
nersville" in Forsythe county. The
grading is all done and the sills laid and
they are putting the iron down every
day. With good weather the ears will
run to Salem in about six weeks. This
road when completed ; will be a power
ful feeder not only to this city but to
the merchants of Richmond (Va.)
The Wild Man.
We learnt last night that a wild man was
coming here to show. We shall go wild
with delight. We hope his programme is
interesting. Let's see. He must be naked
to the waist with long black hair hanging
down his shoulders, fingers with long nails
to them : he must walk to and fro like a
beast in the cage, and occasionally snort
and grin his teeth And when a large fat man
stands up before him and the gentlemanly
keeper in his Seymour coat cries, "pick
him up, sir," he must seize fat man by the
seat of his breeches and balance him like a
pole. We are sure this sort of a show would
draw a crowd at.Tucker Hall.
Sunday School Meetings.
There will be a Mass Meeting of the
Sunday Schools of this city at 3 o'clock
to-morrow afternoon in the Baptist
church. Also, at the same church, at 7
o'clock, p; m., a general meeting of the
parents and friends of the young.
Rev. John McCullogh, of Kentucky,
Secretary of the Southern Department
of the American Sunday School Union,
and Rev. G. S. Jones, of this State, who
for the past five years has labored in
our State as a Sunday School Mission
ary, will address the meetings. All are
most cordially invited to attend.
Our State Exchanges.
The Asheville Citizen pronounces in
famously false that it has been bought
up by the Western Railroad. The
Tarboro Southerner says in reference to
the recent Vance letter : With all due
deference to Gov. Vance we venture to
express the opinion that he could have
added to his reputation by following the
example of Senator Merrimon- that is,
keeping quiet. The Newbern Times
has an editorial on the Agricultural
College. The Battleboro Advance is
writing about Labor and says to the
planter : Fair wages, comfortable
houses and kind treatment are neces
sary. The Franklin Courier has an
article on Emigration and says that dur
ing last month alone at Company Shops
one hundred and twelve tickets were
sold to emigrants going West. The
Wilmington Post has an article on the
Superintendent of Public Instiuction
and declares itself satisfied with Mr.
Battle's appointment if Mr. B. will fully
appreciate the changed condition of
affairs and govern himself accordingly.
The Wilmington Star has an edito
rial on the Importance of Vaccination.
The Elizabeth City Carolinian has
an article headed Come to North Caro
lina, and tells the young men that the
old Bourbons and the old. fogies no
longer rule here but their wrecks lay
along the beach like the hulks of old
ships - The Fayetteville Eagle speak
ing of the Vance letter calls it " very
imprudent and uncalled fob," and
shows more " rash anger and vindic-
tiveness than it supposed Gov. Vance
was capable of." The Asheville Pio
neer in an article, Shall We have a Con
vention? says that Gov. Caldwell has
stopped the building of the rail road
from Old Fort and that his chief adviser
1S W. JN. li. miin, WHO, luai, yapvr
styles a yankee lawyer, as if tliat would
hurt Mr. Smith. The Winston Re
publican is on the School Law and hopes
the legislature will so amend the law
that every child in JSortn Carolina,
without any restriction, may be allowed
to attend the public schools.

that town, and also Miss S. W. has
taken her departure. He then speaks
of 44 falling: on the bosom of these soft

Read this from the Elizabeth
City Carolinian : At a former visit here
Maj. F. D. Bunnel became satisfied that
our Sand would make a first class glass.
He had several barrels of it shipped to
a large factory at Blossburg Pa., to be
tested. A sample of the glass made
from it is now in our office. It is fine
and clear as the very best glass in the
market. We understand that a proiect
is on foot to start a glass Factory here
in the Spring. It would pay.

Dcirt lorget in saying your prayers

to forgive you as you would forgive
them for talking so about you.
A crazy man raised Old Harry in I he
rotunda of the Capitol to-day, we don't
know whether he had been sent by his.
constituents to the legislature or not.
But any way he made so much noise
out there that the House and Senate
had to send eut and have him removed.
Farm-Yard. Scraps.
The Greensboro Patriot says : There
is a little boy who owns a little can,
and this little boy and little calf earn
some days as much as $2 hauling loads
from the depot. Here is an example in
industry for other little boys.
The North Carolinian says : We saw
a few days ago, some very fine Cash
mere goats, imported by Mr. David
Murphy, of this county. We think if
more of our farmers would go into this
business, and import these animals for
stock, and raise from, that it would pay
them very handsomely.
Stirring the soil : Every observant
farmer must have noticed the crust
which forms on the surface of newly-
stirred soil after lying a few days to
the action of the dews. A much heav
ier crust is formed by each shower of
rain that falls. Good and successful cul
tivation requires that this newly-formed
crust be often and repeatedly broken
by the hoe, barrow, or other nleans.
A striking instance in proof of this
fact has just been stated by an exten-
sive iarmer. lie pianiea a iieiu 01
broom corn, and, by wray of banter told
the man who assisted him that each
should choose a row as nearly alike as
possible, and each should hoe his row,
and the measured amount of crop on
each should be the proof of which was
hoed best. Our informant stated the
result in substance as follows : ' Deter
mined not to be beaten, I hoed my row,
well, once a week the summer through.
I had not seen my assistant hoe his at
all, but had observed that for a long
time .he .was up in the morning before
me. At length I found him before sun
rise, hoeing his broom corn, and I ask
ed him how often he hoed it ; ho an
swered, once a day, regularly.' : The
result of the experiment was, his row
beat mine , . by t nearly double r the
amount." A nnual Register, , :-

The Boston Bulletin says:. A

What a blind man did: Mr. Robert
Robinson, living with Mr. Standfield,
near Royal Oak, was taken with a fit a
few days ago, and fell into the fire. Mr.
Stanfield, a blind man, was in the house
with him, and supposing he smelt
something burning like hair, felt to
wards the fire, discovered the situation
of the unfortunate man, and extricated
him from death. He was badly burned
about the face, and it is feared will lose
one of his eves by the accident. Eas-

JSf5 A deaf and dumb man near
Pomfret Hills in Connecticut is heart v
and robust and has lived all his life on
milk alone, although when not at meals,
he chews incessantly on o!d rusrs. He
passes most of his time in a swing and
his mother takes care of him as if he
were a babe. Tho paper asks 44 What
use is he?" A heartless question, that.
He is that poor mother's gift from God.
She prays the more because his lips are
dumb. And she is happier to take the
great grown dumb thing in her lap and
pet him like an infant, than to have
him flying over the country, perchance
drinking and rowdying, and making
speeches, and maybe, running for the
legislature, with now and then a stray
and maudlin affection expressed, and
caused by a sudden sober from too
much whiskey the night before, of "my
poor old mother."
Egg Don Piatt of the Washington
Capital says : We had a drunken doc
tor of the name of Toddens, who, from
his habits, was known as Toddy. He
was considered the most successful
practitioner of our country-side. People
said old Tod was a wonder, and the
drunker he grew the wider and deeper
spread his reputation. This is common
in other walks of life. We have known
lawyers, authors, and artists add to
their reputation by being intoxicated
most of their time. People said, 44 how
wonderful he would be were he sober."
Tho fact was, the only wonder was in
the liquor. Had the man been a sober
man he would probably have escaped
notice. Old Tod was called in, or rather
he was picked up drunk at the tavern
one night almost insensible, to pres
cribe for a man in the greatest agony.
The doctor staggered into the room and
fell upon the floor.
He was shaken up
and a diagnosis of the disorder roared
Tia rlistornr rnrd
into his ears. All that could be got
from him was the one word, 44 Coffee."
A pot was hurriedly placed upon the
fire, and, as soon as it could be made as
strong as holy writ, a pint was poured
into the patient, who only roared the
louder. Again the doctor was appealed
to, and again ho muttered 44 Coffee."
The zealous friends and relatives im
mediately forced down the throat of the
sufferer another dose. A third attempt
was being made, when the doctor stag
gered to the beside, and seizing the cup,
drained the liquid himself. He then rol-
jd out to the pump, and putting his
medical head under the spout, had water
pumped over it for some minutes. Af
ter this he returned, somewhat sobered,
to the bedside of his patient, felt his
pulse, looked at the tongue, and poked
the poor fellow in tho stomach : How
re, mo man "? tie asked, Ah ! Pm bet
ter, doctor ; the ccflee did it." A merry
twinkle shot from the inflamed eyes of
the intocated practitioner ; but he said
nothing then. Subsequently be let tho
oke out to a brother physician. I
wanted that coffee myself, to sober me
up. mmme 11 mey aian t give it 10

complain at the verdict of the Jury, who
were lorceu to render a painmi and unwil
ling verdict, from the overwhelmine and
convincing testimony against you. And
we cannot suppose that any prejudice ex
isted against you in the mind of the Jury,
when ten twelfths of them were of your
own race. Your own conduct has brought
aown upon you the tern Die judgment or the
law: and you nave placed upon the, court
the saddest and most painful duty that can
attach to the position it holds, that of con.
regrets lor an in-spent nie win be or little
use to you, you will have a short period for
to seek forgiveness of liim who alone can
save you, even to the uttermost: That In
the world to come, in vast eternity, to which
repentance and prayer and l beseech you
we are all hastening, you may stand re
deemed from sin and accepted through, the
mediation and atonement of our Lord and
Master.
Now. in vindication of the majesty of a
violated law, and in obedience to its
mandates, .
It is the Order of the Court, that you.
Simpson Mordecai and Thomas Griffice, be
tanen to the common J ail or the county.
and be kept in close confinement therein,
until Friday, the 28th day or February
next, and on that day you shall be taken
thence by the sneriir, and- netween tne
hours of Twelve o'clock, Jmeridian, and
Two o'clock, past meridian of .that day.
and within the Jail enclosures, you will be
hanged by the necK.untn you are aeaa.-
May liod. in iiisinnnite mercy and good
ness, have mercy upon your souls."
An Instructive Lesson to Poor
Humanity.
A friend in this city has handed us the
following : If iwe assume the population of
the earth to be one thousand million, and a
generation to last thirty-three years ; In
that space of time the one thousand mil
lions must all die, and, consequently, the
number of deaths will be, by approxima
tion :'
Each year, 30,000.000
Each day, . 82,109

Railroad, was going from tho depot
I his house in this city, and as he turned
the corner of Edenton and West streets,
he was assaulted, he says, by four sol-,
diers, or looked Jiko soldiers, they had
uniforms on, and ono of them clapped
his hand over Dudley's mouth, and the
others threw him down. They then
ripped his pockets open and took from
his pocket book about twenty dollars,
his wages that he had just received from
the paymaster of the road. They then
let him loose, when he ran for dear life
up to Mr. Best's store on Hillsboro'
street, as muddy as ho could be and
very much terrified. On r police ferce
should be heavier and they should walk
their beats constantly. Where's tho
