Love Feast in a Salem Church.
The old Salem church is a grand old
church and is handsomely furnished on
inside. Christmas day they held what
tliey call Love Feasts in this old church.
A correspondent of the Danville Times
was present on the occasion and was de
lighted with what he saw. The organ,
a great deep old glorious musical mon
ster, was making the crowded house
seem to tremble under its vibrations,
and the choir were chanting one of their
beautiful anthems, when six young
men came in from the ante room, each
bearing a large basket filled with sugar
ed cakes of rather unique form and
each visitor, great and small was ex
pected to take one and hold it until the
same young men returned bearing
waiters filled with pure white mugs
and these with nice rich coffee of which
each was expected to take one and sit it
by until all had been furnished. Then
at a given part of the anthem, all began
to partake of the cake and coffee, the
choir continuing the music until all was
completed and the'mugs removed.
The Lieach-IiOiisr War in New
born.
We received to-day a half sheet of the
Newborn Republic and Courier giving
an account of a threatened assault on
Nason, its editor, by Dr. James F.
Long, brother of the preacher Long of
the Liberal, who with stick in hand, and
accompanied by Col. J. V. Jordan, en
tered the room, and wanted Nason to
"take back" what he had said about
preacher Long of the Liberal (and Na
son hadn't said anything, only had cop
ied a spicy little letter of "Leach on
Long" from the Sentinel,) and Dr. James
F. Long ordered Col. J. V. Jordan to
lock the door and as Col. J. V. was
about to do so, a certain little printer
in the office named John C. Thomas,
who had his stick in hand too, and a
stick that you could make a right good
fling with, if aimed at the human head,
rather suggested to Col. J. V. that it
would be as well rBt to do so, and the
locking business was indefinitely post
poned. This is about all the affair as
we learn from the half sheet of the Cou
rier. Dr. James F. Long didn't hurt
anybody and Nason didn't take back
anything. If we had a couple of first
class Bible missionaries to spare, we
would send them down to Newbern to
see if they couldn't settle the Leach
Long affair, but the fact is we have our
whole stock on hand busily engaged in
settling up the Hood-Early and Mc
Iver Battles which have been rending
the very entrails of the State with in
ternal strife for the last three months.
Our State Exchanges.
The Wilmington Journal we had put
away and the boy who does the fire
making for this establishment scented
his way to our corner and kindled the
fire with that very paper. The Wil
mington Star is again on the Southern
Security Company and asks " Have the
people of North Carolina no rights
which the foreign raiders are bound to
respect?" The Wilmington Post thinks
that compulsory education is the remedy
lor the present gloomy educational pros
pects of North Carolina. Wo think
ourself that the people should be com
pelled to send their children to school,
and we tell our legislature now, to in
crease in some way the salary of the
teachers, to provide for better school
houses, provide that everv teacher shall
bo a first class man or woman, and then
make it the duty of every parent to send
his child. The Newbern Times is for a
tri-weekly mail to Aurora in Beaufort
county. The Kinston Gazette announ
ces in his half column that he is going
to run a semi-weekly at Kinston. The
Franklin Courier congratulates the peo
ple that the State press are getting more
decent and genteel in their editorials.-

cracy are assembled in high state, in

lotte Observer says it is a pity that this

jjgaT What? s the matter with that

are expounding the law therein. The
room Deing warm, tne roiessor iook
off his coat and laid it upon the seats.
After hearing as much law as he cared
to digest that day, he robed himself and
started out, when he was hailed by Wm.
M. Evarts, who declared that he was
walking off with his coat. To his sur
prise the Professor found this to be the
case, and, equally to the surprise of Mr.
Evarts, he explained the mistake by
saying that he took it because he found
his cap in one of the pockets.

to the jail in Haywood county charged
with the murder of a Mr. Peehoof in

stabbed the man that he was dead. And

mation in regard to matters abroad, it
had better draw in and devote its space
to local affairs. Its insinuation in the

Ex-Governor goes out accompanied by
his son and daughter. The latter he

opportunity of calling upon the minis

Carolina National Bank, to pay their
respects, and bid him God-speed upon
his long journey. The citizens of An

parture from that town. Speeches were
made by many of the gentlemen pres

appropriately responded.
Farm-Yard Scraps.
Have begun to garden at Elizabeth
city, the Carolinian says : Early gar
deninjr has commenced. The weather

roses, and early vegetables. Such days
as this warm, bright and in spring
are enough to pay the traveler or invalid
for a trip from the snow bound States of
the North.
Probability of another bad wheat
harvest in England. A London paper
says : In reviewing the prospect for
another year, I must say, I never saw a
worse. The land is saturated to such a
degree that the greater part of the ferti
lizing qualities are washed out of it;
and on the stiff clays the wheat sown is,
with few exceptions, never likely to
come to a crop, the seed having burst
wi th wet and therefore become rotten.
What little has come up has been eaten
off by slugs, so that the land must be
sown over again, either with spring
wheat or something else ; moreover,
there is not more than a third of the
wheat sown. The prospect for the spring
seeding is also bad, the fallows
very foul.
