Three Deaths from Consump
tion. Dr. J. T. Leach, Miss Charity Utley,
and Frank King, all living within live
miles' of the other, and all died of con
sumption last week in the lower part of
this county. Frank was formerly a
nurse at Insane asylum, under Dr. Gris
som, and highly esteemed by the doctor
as a faithful and intelligent employe.
Broke His Lejr.
As Frank Banks, one of the depot
hands at Durham, was unloading a bar
rel of whiskey from the freight car last
Wednesday, the man who was helping
him lift being the taller of the two,
then too much weight on Frank's side,
and as they went to place it on the plat
form Frank let his end drop and it fell
striking his left leg near the ankle and
breaking it. The white citizens of the
place were very kind to him in his af
fliction and have supplied him with
every comfort and necessary attendance.
The Chapel Hill Railroad.
It seems to be pretty well settled that
this railroad is to be built. Major
Bridgers sent up his surveyor there last
Monday, and they are now surveying
from Chapel Hill so as to tap the North
Carolina Central at Stray horn's turn
out, or University as it is called. This
point is about six miles each from Hill
sboro and Durham. The object of the
road is to dive into the large iron mine
recently bought from. Weaver of Chapel
Hill by Gen. R. F. Hoke. This iron
mine Mr. Weaver gave one thousand
dollars confederate money for during
the war, and he recently sold it to Gen.
Hoke for twenty-five hundred dollars.
The northern company, who are to
build this road, we understand sent a
man on to examine the mine to see if it
would justify them in an outlay, and he
sent them word that he has already sunk
a shaft and can vouch for five hundred
thousand tons of good iron. So the
surveyor is going on in good earnest.
Now let this road tap at either Hills
boro or Durham, and don't let it stop
there, but keep right on through Orange,
and Caswell, and Person counties, and
Halifax county (Va.,) and tap the Rich
mond and Danville road at South Bos
ton or News Ferrj'. This will finish
up the richest tobacco sections in the
State and with iron on the one wing,
and an inexhaustible harvest of tobacco
and grain on the other, the State will
sure enough have started on a new and
prosperous march. We call the attention
of the legislature to that matter. Now is
the tiine to help this people, if ever, and
as for the money to extend this read,
we have all along had the promise of
abundant help from the people of Vir
ginia, and the road can be easily built.
Let us see now how far this legislature
can look beyond their noses.
Stabbing Affray in Hillsboro.
Great excitement prevailed in Hills
boro late Saturday evening over a stabb
ing affray that occurred in Reese's
dram shop. Jesse Arche, an Indian
mixed mulatto, and Buck Borland, a
very clever countryman, got into some
words about some switch ties that
Arche had cut on Borland's land and
hauled off. Arche called Borland a
dam liar, and Borland let him have his
fist, also bringing a pitch fork into re
quisition, but whether before Arche had
stabbed and cut him with his big
pocket knife, remains to be proven.
The mulatto cut him in five different
places, the most dangerous stabbing be
low the shoulder blade near the spine
and probably into the hollow. Arche
then walked the street making towards
tho river with the open knife in his
pocket when he was met by town con
stable Crabtree who told him he was his
prisoner. Arche replied that he had
done nothing to be arrested for, and no
man should arrest him, at the same
time drawinar out his open knife. But
a pistol cocked in the hands of Crabtree
caused that knife to drop, and Arche,
(. V
for the time, was turned over to the
custody of George Harden and others
while Crabtree went for witnesses.
Here the excitement began. Arche
broke like a quarter horse and ran up
the hotel street, Harden after him, shoot
ing bang, bang, and the crowd pursu
ing crying " catch him," " kill him,"
Ac, fec He finally surrendered in the
old Nash lot, where the cedars wave,
and a Mr. Wayne Garrett, and a Mr.
Gates were cavorting around trying to
get a chance at him to send him into
kingdom come. Arche crying " Don't
let 'em kill me," and tho crowd catch
ing and grabbing and wrestling, snort
ing and kicking up the dirt around
these two enraged men. Finally he was
taken before Squire Lynch -who sent
him to jail and his last remark as he
entered the cell, was, 44 1 can whip any
dam rascal of you outside there." Bor
land lies in a very uncertain condition.
A Big: Revenue Haul.
Special assistant-assessor T. D. McAl

me lotn tney went into saia counties
accompanied by small detachments of
U. S. troops, were gone five days, and
found seven illicit distilleries running
in flagrant violation of law. The cop
per stills and fixtures were all in perfect
order. And persons at each distillery
engaged in making whiskey. They all
were arrested and will be prosecuted.
The stills and fixtures were all com
pletely destroyed by said revenue offi
cers, and Ihey also destroyed on the
premises 130 hogsheads of mash or beer.
On their way back to Charlotte they
found a wagon and three horses, return
ing from a market in South Carolina to
a distillery in Liucolnton. Said wagon
contained two empty whiskey barrels.
with the stamps not erased as required
by law, and were taken in j charge
wagon and all and turned oyer to Col
lector Mottof the district. The stamps
on these barrels had never been even
cancelled. The distillery from which
they came is supposed to be running in
accordance with the law, and is owned
by Motze at Lincolton. How these
barrels could have passed inspection by
the guager is a matter for investigation.
Supervisor Perry declares that Messrs.
McAlpine and Peters are two of the best
officers ho has in his department.

In the horse's early youth the yan
kee had taught him to sit down like a
dog whenever he was touched with the
spurs. The Yankee and Kentuckian
were riding through the woods together,
and seeing a wild turkey the yank
touched his horse and down he came,
and he told old Kaintuck that the horse
" was settin' a turkey." The Kentuck
ian rode in the direction the horse's nose
pointed and sure enough up flew a
turkey. He traded horses with the
yank right on the spot. But after
awhile they came to a deep . and rapid
stream and Kentuck, finding his horse
in the middle and about to be swept
down the stream, touched him with the
spur. Down he sat. "Look here!"
shouted the enraged Kentuckian to the
Yankee on the other side of the stream,
"what does all this mean?" "I want
you to know, stranger," cried the
Yankee' preparing to ride away, "that
horse will pint fish jist as well as he
will fowl."

The Jubilee Singers (colored) of Fisk
University, Nashville, (Tenn.) are play

The Herald says of them : There is in
every hymn sung by the band a re
markable religious earnestness, cloaked
by uncouth phrases, and many made
long before the war are prophetic of
coming freedom to the slave. The sing
ers sing, chant or crow for their method
embraces all these styles with certain
sweetness and intense earnestness in
their performance. The members of the
band ten in number all have pleasing
voices, and their experience during the
past year has taught them how to use
them' with good effect. The object of
the concerts of the Jubilee Singers is to
Erocure sufficient money to pay for new
uildings for the Fisk University, t
-which the band are pupils. They will
give a concert oh the 14th of February
at Steinway Hall.

. a..fAAO vvuiiiji lia v u uucu OUI I
ly alarmed and nearly startled out of I
their wits, by the sudden and mysteri
ous appearance in their neighborhood
at various times, of a strange, ferocious
looking creature, resembling a gorilla,
which, it seems, has its haunt in the
deep thickets, and under the shelving
rock and caverns that line the creek in
that vicinity. What it is or where it
came from no one knows. That it is
there, a living reality, many a fright
ened farmer can attest from the scare it
gave him. It appears to be over live
feet high, has short crooked legs, a long
body and long arms with ugly looking
talon like fingers, a short, thick neck.
large savage looking head, in which
gleams a pair of blood-shot eyes, while
its mouths extend from ear to ear, and
is filled with long fangish teeth, which
it displays when disturbed. Its body
is covered with a heavy coat of brown
ish hair, and its general aspect is abso
lutely terrible and ferocious, making
the stoutest heart quail before it. Thus
far, no one has suffered personal injury
from it, other than a severe fright, as it
never seeks to make a direct attack on
human beings, but rather seems to de
light in suddenly rushing forth from its
lair, and with appalling roars and fearful
gesticulations chasing all who venture
near its haunts. Poultry, shoat, etc., hav-
been missed by the farmers, and it is
thought this creature has something to
do with their disappearance. Tho range
of this wild being is near the farms of
W. Winn and Othe Barnes, and in that
neighborhood. One person gravely in
formed us that it was the devil, as he
had tried in vain to shoot it, and that
dogs cannot be induced to go near it3
haunts.
3fr. Beecher telling about his
school days : When I wras eight or nine
years old (this is strictly confidential)
laughter, I was sent to school an old,
old painted village school house, that I
can smell yet. Laughter.
Wo had benches made of slabs of logs
put in at each end, and we brought the
softness to them. Laughter. There
wre sat. I cannot remember that I ever
learned anything at the common school
in my daj It was alwaj-s a mystery
to mo how I learned to read. I never
remember any process how I got the
alphabet. I thought I dreamed it out
somehow. My business used to be di-

ped
for roguery, and sitting on the
bench wishing it was time for recess.
Laughter.
One comfort, I enjoyed in looking out
of the window, seeing the country
around, and hearing the murmuring of
the birds. The autumn came that year,
and the vaccination was over. The
mother said, "Henry, next week the
school begins." "Yes, ma, but I don't
want to go.
Why not ; do you
want to grow up a dunce?" Yes, ma."
Then she says, "Don't you know it you
do you will have to be a servant all your
life?" "Yes, ma." "You would like
to bo a servant your whole life?" "Yes,
ma." "Would you like to stay at home
and work as a servant ? "Yes, ma."
I was kept at home that winter, and
had to do the work of a servant, clean
up the house, set the table, and all the
petty details of work, arid all these
things I followed out faithfully, and in
the winter I chopped the wood ajid
brought it in, and it was no small mat
ter to bring in wood for one of these old
Litchfield houses. Laughter.
I enjoyed myself very much, but I
did not know that I va3 educating my
self. My experience taught me to rely
upon myself; and I was never placed
in any situation where I could not do
the thing that was necessary. I could
shoe a horse, mend a harness, fix a bro
ken wagon, or cut off a man's leg, I
believe, if necessary. Laughter.
Farm-Yard Scraps.
Here's your rat proof corn crib : Make
your sills square, say 10 inches; saw
into and block out from these so that the
joist will be even, or face with the top ;
the floor then rests on these sills so that
there is no place for the rat to stand, to
cut his way through the floor. And as
a further preventive have your post,
upon which the house is to rest, three
feet long ; sink them into the ground 6
inches, this will leave the crib 30 inches
above ground, at the top of post tack
around a strip of tin, 6 or 8 inches wide,
the tin being hard and smooth, the mis
chievous little rascals -can not climb
over it, and are completely baulked.
