Fine Florida Oranges.
Mr. R. G. Clark, of Philadelphia, is at
the Yarboro,-having just returned from
a trip to Florida, and he has one of the
largest oranges with him we ever saw,
that he picked from a tree in Florida
last Thursday week. It was weighed
at our friend W. C. Stronach's, and
pulled down one vouna six ounces
and a half.
Reconstructed.
Who says we are not reconstruct
ing down this way. Mr. Edward Auter,
a worthy and industrious young fanner
from Tiago county (Pa.,) and who
bought and settled near Milton, in Cas

has recently led to the altar Miss Jennie
Allen, one of the prettiest young girls in
that place: Come down, Northern men ;
plenty more here.
Railroad Fever.
The citizens of Leasburg, - a little
town in Caswell. 12 miles from a river
and 24 miles each way from a railroad,
woke ud a with a railroad fever the
4.
other day, and held a rousing meeting.
The people of Hillsboro also have caught
it, and a meeting is contemplated in
that place. This fever generally attacks
these sections about this time of year.
All the town orators go off in a splendid
talk, and the boy sweeps out the tobacco
quids. That's all.
Enterprise iu Concord.
Cotton is King in Cabarrus and Con
cord don't want for money. Every cit
izen has got his bank account, and there
are no people more inaepenuenc oi
" hard times" than Concord. We learn
that the citizens of this little town are
now taking stock in a horse railway to
run about a Mile, from the depot to
Concord. They say that the drayage in
freight alone from the depot to that
town is worth ten thousand dollars a
year.
Graham Fire Death &c.
We learn that last night about twelve
o'clock, the kitchen of apt. James M.
Williamson at Graham caught on fire
and was burnt to the ground, and every-
thincr in it. His nice new house also
caught from the kitchen, and there was
great excitement in putting it out. They
just kicked out the window panes and
sashes and threw the furniture out.
Though after severo efforts on the part
of the citizens they succeeded in extin
guishing the flames, but while running
up the ladder the ladder broke, and then
a young man named Denny fell to the
ground, breaking his arm. We learn
the death of Mrs. Holt, wife of Daniel
Holt, two miles from Graham, who
died the other day.

Meeting of Board of Directors
Resignation of Treasurer.
The Board of Directors of the North
Carolina Central Road met yesterday
at Company Shops, and Col. G. M. Lea,
Treasurer, and C. M. Crump, Secretary,
tendered their resignations (on account
of the duties imposed bv the Richmond
and Danville road) which were accepted,
and J. A. McCauley was appointed by
th Board to fill their place, he to act
in both capacities. Universal regret
will follow the going out of Col. Lea, for
nature never framed a better man. Mr.
Crump too lias a reputation for business,
second to none other in the State.
Though no fitter man for the place could
have been found than Mr. McCauley.
Hon. W. A. Smith, President of this
Road, was in attendance, and is now m

jg Dortt call a man a " beast,"
who acts like this : While the bill giving
pensions to soldiers of the war of 1812,
who resided in the rebellious States
during the late civil war. was
o
considered in the House this afternoon,
Gen. Butler made a brief but eloquent
speech in advocacy of the measure. He
said these old veterans should have their
dues, even if during the rebellion they
were led by circumstances to symp
thize with treason. Thev had won the
right to be wrong once in their lives,
and the government should deal gener
ously with them. He ended by hoping
that the time was near when the New
Orleans of 1812 would be remembered
and the New Orleans of 1862 forgotten.
He was loudly applauded several times
by the members who gathered around
him, and the Speaker made no attempt
to suppress the demonstration.
Jg11 Hiilroad men, we bet on you.
Read this : John Wilson is a brakeman
on a Minnesota railway. The other day
he heard of a train snowed in seven
miles distant, and, not being on duty,
procured a large quantity of crackers
and cheese, enveloped himself in a cloak
with a hood, and with the wind blowing
a gale and the thermometer twenty-
seven degrees below zero, started out a
foot to relieve the hungry passengers.-
Although he felt his face and ears freez
ing, he trudged on until he reached the
train almost exhausted and unable to
speak distinctly. The grateful passen
gers thawed mm out as well as they
were able, and one of them, John Law-
lor, Esq., of Prairie d,u Chien, who had
some ladies under his care, tooic from
his own neck a massive gold chain, and
putting it around Wilson's neck, re
marked: "It's a pretty good man that
has worn that chain, but I've found a
better, and he shall have it."
jess A spiritualist wedding lias
just occurred in London. Miss Kate
Fox, so well known as the medium
through whom modern spiritual mani
festations first began in this country,
was on the 14th of last month, at St.
Marylebone Church in London, married
by the Rev. F. Braithwaite to Henry
Diedrich Jencken. Miss Kate is late of
New York. She left that city last fall
with a Miss Ogden, a personal friend,
who was also present at her wedding.
The bride was attired in simple white
and lace with a half wreath of white
flowers iu he head, and a plain gold
brooch at her neck. Jencken is a
spiritualist of many years standing and
was one of the first to publish what he
knew about it in England. Now comes
the interesting part as vouched for by
the London Times. As the marriage
ceremony progressed gentle raps were
heard in the vicinity of the altar, and
Miss Kate quietly acknowledged them
as the approval of her friends in the
spirit land. At the breakfast-table the
bride found a beautiful and valuable
fan, a present, from Prince George, and
also a costly present from a son of the
Duke of Wellington. And as they all
sat around the table, there came mess
Themotherof
ages from the spirit land
Miss Fox sending a message of love and
sadness to Mr. Jencken. Then came a
messaere from J. B. Taylor, whose
watchful presence had followed poor,
defenceless, sensitive Kate Fox through
the dark pathways and labyrinths of this
great Babel London.' " We were with
you at the altar," said the message ; and
after dwelling upon matters of private
interest, concluded with greetings more
in harmony with the feelings of the
guests. " Jencken is no longer his own
master" was then soelled out. and a
volley of raps responded to the merry
laughter of the company. And finally
when every glass was raised to. toast
our mvisioie irienas. me oreajnassir-
table, though groaning beneath a mag-
nificient weight of luxuries,, was raised
of itself from the floor. This is progress
for you -with a rush.
