News from one of the Heirs of
the Old Cape Fear Pilot.
S. C, writes the following to our Secre
tary of State : " I write in reply to an ad
vertisement which came out in the Char
leston. Courier. I am - one of his grand
daughters. He was my mother's father.
He was a pilot on the Cape Fear and
also a soldier and served through the
whole revolution war. My.mother died
the 10th of February 1872.. She left six
daughters. As far as we know we are
his nearest relatives. There is another
one of his grandchildren living in North.
Carolina. There are old North Carolin
ians here in Charleston who are. ready
to provethat lam his grandchild.". Now
see what printers ink will do ! Wo set
this item afeeling for some of the
heirs not three weeks ago and here it is.
The Charleston Courier by copying it
has "skeered" one up. Well, if we
never get rich at it, its a pity.
Attention, Road Overseer.
We call the attention of the overseer
to the horrible condition of the Rarnkat
road leading past the Insane Asylum.
Of an evening we are told that you can't
walk the road at all for the mud, but
have to go over on the asylum grounds.
The hill past Joe King's known as the
Asylum hill is impassable for wagons
most any time of day, and also the road
as far as Walnut creek. This creek too
is impassable for foot passengers unless
when ver3r low, there being nothing
save a round log to walk on, and that
very knotty. Persons passing that way
every day have to wade it half up to
their knees. The ford where the
wagons ptjss is also in very bad condi
tion ; you go up to the wagon hubs on
this side of the creek as soon as you
enter, and even when you are in it you
are liable to be upset. It is alike im
portant to the trade of this city and to
the advantage of the country people
that ourjroads be carefully worked and
all fords and crossways be kept in easy
and passable order.
Suicide in Wake County.
A woodcutter's mania.
Thomas Lawrence Cuts a Tree Down
and Lies Down Under it to be Crushed
to Death.
Our eorrespondent in Buckhorn
Township, this county, writes us the
following: On Tuesday the 16th instant
Thomas It Lawrence was in his new
grounds cutting down rail timber, and
late in the evening he cut down a red
oak tree supposed to make 16 rails to
the cut and went and laid down under
it as it was about to fall, and it fell across
his neck aTof shoulders and killed him
instantly. Tie was badly mashed, his
collar bone broken and the blood runn
ing out at his ears. Before he bad cut
it down he had cut and rolled all the
logs out of the way and fixed him a
smooth place to lie down at so that the
tree might fall flat on the ground. Just
a few minutes before, he called to his
little son who was with him and sent
him to lap up some small trees which
he had cut down, by this arrangement
placing the father and son a small dis
tance apart from each other, and so that
they could not conveniently see one
another. After the tree had fallen the
boy not hearing his father cutting, ran
to see about it, and found him lying
about five feet from the stump under
near the butt end of the tree, dead. He
had cut the tree half down before din
ner and he and his son had pone to din
ner and come back to cutting, arid it
was late in the evening before he threw
himself under it. Mr. Lawrence leaves
a wife and iivo children, and "he was a
loving and affectionate husband and
provided well for his family. All who
knew him were his friends and he was
deacon of Olive's Chapel Baptist church
beloved by the brethren generally. No
cause is known why he committed the
deed. He had talked with several of
his neighbors and told them that he
was not right in his mind and that he
himself couldn't tell the cause why he
was so troubled ..at times, and at some
times worse than others. On Monday
evening before he killed himself on
Tuesday he was at work down in the
field and failed to come to the house till
nearly dark. His wife got uneasy about
him and went to look for him, nd as
showent along she thought of a big
hole of water in the creek, and she went
there, and whilelooking about for him
she saw him away up a stooping tree
barefooted. She threw up her hands
and screamed to him to come down,
which he did, and ran to her and threw
his arms around her and cried like a
child, and begged her, "never to tell it,
he would never do so any more."
County--Keitlii-
Went worth the county seat of Rock

Whitemore is going, to leave here and
goes to Reidsville- tq wake his home.
Although Browdy weighs some two

rgrand tobacco ball ' comes off Monday
uiight (la night) at the new warehouse
just finished of Oaks and Allen. The
ball tickets were gotten up in splendid
style, printed in Richmond, and the
xv. jr. ivicuarusun nas just unisutu a
large and splendid brick store that
stands close by the warehouse. Our
popular representative, David Settle,
has been sick, but is now ready for
work, and ere this has reported for duty
to the legislature in your city. By the
way, Dave had a "wild goose chase"
during the holidays. He and Dr. Rains
and others went out on horseback for a
big bird hunt, and on the river bank
they spied a large flock of wild geese
sunning themselves. Dave as in all
things else took the lead, and told them
to hearken to him and he'd show them
how to get the geese. So he deployed
them just under the high banks, while
he rode his horse softly, gun in hand,
and with the yell of a Comanche to
frighten them up, and thus bag the
whole Hock. He got nearly on them,
then spurred his gay little mare, yelled
like a crazy man, and bang, bang, went
his gun. What with the fluttering of
the heavy geese in his little mare's face,
and the noise and srnell of brimstone
about her ears, she straightened her tail
and took off in one way, while the geese
flew in the other.. The gun went up
like a sky rocket, and just as the mare
went fb leap an old ditch that the con
scripts used to hide in, one of the stir
rups gave way, and Dave and his mare
set up a gymnasium gallery in tho air.
The geese in the meanwhile swimming
quietly across the river. You may dis
cover that he walks a little lame and
that one of his ribs is a little loose, but
otherwise, he was entirely recovered
when he left our midst.
Roosting: in a Pullman Car.
Asthe Pullman sleeping car on the
North Carolina road reached Greens
boro the other night a fine large hen
was lifted off from under the trucks
where she had gone to roost at Char
lotte. The man who changed the trucks
at Greensboro took the old lady in. We
believe in such happenings. Now we've
no doubt that man was a hard working
poor and honest man with a numerous
family and he wanted a chicken. And
when the cars reached Greensboro,
there it was, without money and with
out price. Such instances do happen.

JCSf" A young lady from Alexan
dria (Va.,) is spending the winter in
Richmond. She writes from that city
to the paper in that town that some day
ra
legislature now in session in Richmond.
She says they are determined to turn
the few unmarried members of that
body to some use among them. It
seems they don't fly around enough
as beaux. And the same may be said
of those good looking young 2hapshere
in our legislature. We have yet to see
the first one with his arm crookt and
a pitty patty little gloved hand resting
in it. But listen to this young charmer,
what she says of the Speaker : In the
House, first of all, there is Mr. Speaker ;
of course, as he is already a beau, we
won't besiege him, but no small share
of my glances will fall to his lot, as you
well know, for nothwithstanding your
dissent I still think there never was
given to man such beautiful hair, lovely
eyes, handsome figure, and graceful
manners as he possesses. I believe I've
been in lovo with him ever since that
day we first met him on Staunton's old
street. There areabout six unmarried
men in the House, but I can tell about
them better, after I have seen them.
I'm tired now, but promise to write you
all about our capitol yisit next week."
j&sT Hit 'em again, Mr. Beecher.
Unstrip your backs ye vain men and
let the lash smart you. Read: Men
flatter each other to be flattered, praise
to be praised ; and so then comes in
falseness in entertainments, falseness in
social lifo, falseness in friendship. Men
make sumptuous reports. You are in
vited as a guest. Is it because you are
wanted ? Is it to make you happy that
the table is spread royally? that the
gorgeous hand opens its portals alive
with gayety and every appliance that
can tickle fancy ? And all that this
benefaction may be conferred on you ?
Oh, fool you are thus only to appreciate
the motive of all this to praise him.
And as your hospitality is a sham and
a delusion, and as our Saviour says,
when thou makest a feast don't go and
invite those that can give just as big
dinners as you and invite you in turn,
you tickle me and I will tickle you, you
dine me and I will dine you, but go in
to the highways for your guests. And
so with friendships ; very many men
there are that when they were on the
crest of the wave had troops of friends,
but when they went down into the
trough of the sea where were they all
gone ? So with the men that write un
der the itch of vanity. I fancy no man
ever makes a mark even with a slate
pencil that something of himself does
not go into that mark. And so when a
man is vain whatever he does carries
the marks of that vanity, and there
never can be the strength that goes with
sincerity in the writings of such a man ;
powrer and strength do not belong to a
literature that has been corrupted by
love of praise and' vanity.

Successful cattle-feeders in Europe

If you keep a canary in the house,
hang the cage where the drafts don't
strike the bird. (Jive canary and rape
seed, plenty of fresh water, cuttle-fish
bone, and clean gravel on the bottom of
the cage often. Also give the bird
fresh water to bathe in every day. After
they bathe remove the dish which should
be shallow. The room should not be
overheated. A little pepper occasional
ly regulates them. Don't give them
cake or sugar. When moulting, feed
them on rape seed slightly moistened.
Hard boiled eggs and crackers grated
are excellent. Bad seed will kill birds.
Cabbage and sweet apples are good for
them, and now and then an egg.
