Professor Hicks, the ventriloquist, stayed all night at the house of Van Winborn in Wilson the coldest night of week before last. Mr. Winborn and his little boys wen to bed in the shed room. The professor sat up awhile in the next room. After a bit, " Oh, Mister Win born ! Mister Winborn !" was heard out by the new house near the fence. The professor opened the front door and sung out, "What do you want?" I want to see Mister Winborn!" Tell him to run f ere quick .'" Out sprang Winborn in his shirt and drawers, (for the big dog was loose and was "going for" the fel low,) and he rushed out of the door after the dog and fell over a pile of shingles, sounding like a house falling down, and the dog made for him instead of the man. He kept the dog off with a shingle till he made him know his voice, and therjuwent half , bent. Around t h fenco call ing to the m ah . lie return -7 ed to the house half frozen and with his teeth chattering he asked Hicks, ' who in thunder that fellow could be ?'' Hicks roguishly informed him as he had been invited to his hospitable home to show his little boy " how a chicken could hol ler," that he thought he would just give his pa a lesson in " how a man could holler at the fence." Winborn set out the old Rye, not knowing the professor was a " Good Templar." Death of Gen. Johnson. The pagqantry. of Death has dropped the curtained the noise of lamentation is over, and funereal pomp has laid aside its trappings and the dead roll of Con federate generals numbers one more on its list. Edward Johnson of Virginia is dead. As we shook his hand at Orange Court House, Virginia, in March 1804, so in this month of March 1873, with the same hand, we give a soldier's salute to the' memory of the call ant officer. There is no truer man to these United states than our humble self. And thero is no truer confederate to the esprit de corps of that Grand Old Army of.lCorthern Virginia. And isn't that right, Gen. Grant? Our State. The Sunday snow was six inches in Chatham county. The local of the Ashvillo Pioneer spent a whole day from his clippings at a tin shop having his scissors fixed. Mr. Heptinstall of Halifax has now trotted out a pig to eat greens with this summer that weighed 635 pounds. At an elephant show once in Wilson, the elephant keeper knocked a colored man down, and a countryman getting scared, and thinking somebody was "going to shoot," hoisted an um brella and took refuge under the lion's cage.

What the Small Pox did in Franklin A Husband and Wife in the same Grave. Dr. Crenshaw who was quarantined in the small pox section of Franklin county has been permitted to return to his home in Louisburg, and he writes a letter for the Courier full of the saddest scenes and incidents that came under his eye while in the midst of the small pox sufferers in that section. Tho Doc tor wore a heavy beard and moustache and always when in the room and around his patients he kept his nostrils plugged with cotton and his mouth full of cloves or spice, or some other aro matic. One of the saddest descriptions we have read in some tiin6 .Hhe follow ing account of the ravages of the disease in the Rogers family. Says the Doc tor : Tho 4 cases at Mr. Rogers died 2 on Saturday 28 and 2 on Sunday the 29 December. The weather Being bitter cold and a heavy snow on the ground. We had great difficulty in getting plain coffins and graves dug and buried them all on Tuesday the 31st December. Think for a moment of 4 corpse in the house and all to be carried out and buried the same day by his sons and daughters and the attending physician, Mr. and Mrs." R. was buried in the same grave. Think of the mournful group walking to the grave yard I mile dis tant and returning again and again through a pretty deep snow to bury the dead. Oh ! my God deliver me from ever experiencing such another sad scene. The 4 cases at Mr. Geans died the 1st and 2nd weeks in January, thero being a few days only between them. I was present at Norneet Geans death, but not at his burial. He died in 26 hours after I first saw him. I was pres ent at the death of Mrs. G. and helped bury her and daughters. Her little son and my valued friend Mr. Frank Mc Donald whom the Commissioners sent down to kelp nurse, (digging the graves) and assisting greatly in the burials. I must mention right here, that Elder M: D. Freeman, Dr. G. M. Cooley, Mr. Jos. Harris and Andrew Jackson de serve much credit ; for their kind atten tion, fec, to this greatly afflicted fami ly. In the burial of Mr. Geo. W. Dick- erson at air. uoitons, young josepu Rogers and a colored boy, Jos, bunson who nursed Mr. D. had the disease just beginning to break out and. myself had him to bury, and not another soul pres- ent. But enough my letter is aireaay two long and the half has not been told. tig"letter denying . that--be threatened. t& give, the1 Orange people " hell." as charged in the speeches of Messrs. Nor wood and McGehee. "The letter is well wiitten, and he makes an able defense ; be the man what he may. Here is another one. It seems that some of them do know how to "take care" of themselves. A colored man called at the Salem Ii css office. Says the Press: He informed us that he started with ($14.50)' fourteen dollars and fifty cents, directly after the sur render, and now owned a good farm, almost paid lor, besides having on hand a crop of 2,500 lbs. of good tobacco. All this had been done by himself with as sistance of his wife and a son about 12 years old, and a horse. Besides he had raised enough corn, wheat, potatoes, and hogs for his own use and to spare. More backbone. More backbone. As a judge and " not as a man." Says the Goldsboro Messenger : When J udge T urgce held our special court here a few weeks ago, "we found it our duty to compliment him for his straightfor wardness " as a judge on the bench," not as a man. In this we have the satis faction to know we are sustained, not only by the members of the entire Bar, but also by the community. Yet, some "upstarts," have seen fit to pass their vulgar criticism on the Messenger for merely acting above party and party prejudice. Now we desire those sore heads to take notice that' this paper will pursue the even tenor of its way, de nounce where denunciation is needed and accord praise were approval is needed, their criticism notwithstanding. ' Z- Anthony Trollope on Ameri can'' manners and 'customs: Mr. An thony Trollope has two god stories to tell of the suavity.of manner and speech to which strangers are treated by the great American servant. Upon enter ing a hotel in the Far West Mr. Trol lops turned to an attendant and asked lor a waiter.' Well misier,' replied th imperturbable tooth-picker, f if you'll ask that gentleman," pointing to a boy of twelve, I guess he'll fix things for you." At another time, on going into a sleeping car and not finding his berth, Mr,Trollope returned te the porter and begged to be shown it. My God I" re torted the disgusted colored gentleman, ' are you such a damned fool as not to know,; your- own berth when fpu' Vioon frVTr? tVt A nnmKni-t"' JC& Where the Sun does not set. A scene witnessed by some travelers fn the North at Norway, from a cliff one thousand feet above the sea, is thus de scribed : " The ocean stretched away in silent vastness at our feet; the sound of wayes scarcely reached our airy look out ; away in the North the huge old sun swung low along the horizon, like the slow beat of the pendulum in the tall clock of our grandfather's parlor corner. We all stood silent, looking at our watches. When both hands came together at twelve, midnight, tho full round orb hung triurnphantly above the waves, a bridge of gold running due North spanning th9 water between us and him. There he shone in silent majesty, which knew no setting. We involuntarily took off our hats; no word was said. Combine, if you can, the most brilliant sunrise and sunset you ever saw and the beauties will pale before the gorgeous coloring which now lit up ocean, heaven and mountain. In half an hour the sun swung up percep tibly on her beat, the colors changed to those of morning, a fresh breeze rippled over the flood, one songster after an other pipped up in the grove behind us we had slid another day." Onr City. That popular North Carolinian, John Kirkland, Jr., with Carhart fe Brother, New York, is in this city and stopping at the Yarboro. The merchants of this city are always glad to see Mr. Kirk land. The two colored men now in jail, with the gallows before them, got hold of each others hair the other day, and in absence of ministerial advice they were gnashing their teeth, beforehand, and one would have walled the other's eye if it hadn't been for the jailor. This editor took' the 11 o'clock freight for Corbin town. On the morrow he hopes to assist a village church choir in opening their mouths with entire satis faction to the congregation, and on Mon day trusts, to return, to his readers re newed in health and bodily "exercise.

Fertilizer discovered in Maine : An- other source of wealth has recently been opened to Bowdoinham and its vicinity. Largo deposits of feldspar have been discovered in that town and Topsham. A number ef these are being extensive ly worked under the auspices of parties in New Yorkv engaged in the manufac ture of porcelWifi ware. .Quite a num ber are engaged with their teams in transporting the rock irom quarries to the village, and a large qnanity is al ready deposited on the wharves, await ing the opening of navigation. A new ly discovered fact, however, will tend to direct this rock from the porcelain manufactories to the agricultural de partment. It has been discovered by chemical test and actual experiment, that pulverized feldspar is a much bet ter fertilizer than gypsum or sulphate of lime. Swamp muck for grape vines : A very intelligent gentleman of Sampson coun ty, N. C, informed a correspondent that one of his neighbors had a.Scuppernong vine growing in one corner of the yard which needed manuring, but on which he did not wish to use barn-yard man ure. He, therefore, had recourse to a neighboring swamp, from which he ob tained muck, and spread it under the vine to the depth of several inches. Ad tions were made each year, so as to keep the space thus covered even with "the outer edge of the vines overhead; The effect surpassed his expectation. The grapes were soon increased about 50 per cent, iu size, and the quality also cor respondingljr improved. Many persons who saw and tasted them procured cuttings, under the belief that like would produce like ; but when set out without the muck, the grapes soon fell back to the ordinary standaid. Com posting the muck with lime and ashes before applying would be an improvement. and,' playing It AT at once; he retained the violin. ; !i ' jasy come, easy go.- some years later, at Leghorn, being again in great straits, he was obliged , to part, for a time at least, with this same Stradiua rius. But this disaster-was only the means of. procuring him the favorite Gaurnerius, upon which he ever after ward played. In his need, Monsieur Livron, a distinguished amateur, lent him this splendid instrument, and was so enraptured by his playing that he ex claimed: 44 Never will I profane the strings that your fingers have touched. It is to you that my violin belongs." This violin is still shown at Genoa un der a glass case. Good Words. x Musical and Theatricals- .-r- Paganlni's Violins: By the time he had reached seventeen, Paganini was a confirmed gambler. He bad little left but his Stradiuarius violin, and thisie was on the "point of selling to a certain Prince, who had offered him S0, a large sum at the beginning of this century, even lor a siraaiuanus. ximes.nave changed, and in ihese latter days noth ing is thought of giving 300 for a genuine instrument of the first class.

The most elegant and costly costume ever made in Paris was sent to a lady for the fancy dress-ball in New York. The first outside skirt is made of gold-cloth ; over the front of this are- extended threads of pearls, so as to form squares; in thevcentreof each is a different llower made of imitation jewels. The second jupe is made of white satin, embroider ed in silver, with a flounce of gold face around the edge, and turning upward. The heavy folds on each side are retain ed by jewels, and the long pointed cor sage is covered with them in front. The court mantle of sky-blue satin is caught up on the shoulders: underneath a ruff of gold lace upheld by invsible wires ; the mantle has no ornament whatever. Hon, Kelley not dead. A reprehensible hoax was played on Legislature of Missouri the other day. It having been reported that the Hon.. T. J. Kelley, the member from Camden county, had died of quick con sumption, speeches highly eulogistic of the deceased were made ; both Houses passed resolutions of condolence and adjourned out of respect to his memory, and a committee was appointed to escort the remains of the defunct legislator to Linn Creek. The committee, in endeav oring to fulfill its duty, discovered Mr. Kelley at bis boarding house in the act of taking a very substantial dinner, and concluded to dispense with any funeral ceremonies. A search was made for the author of the false report, who was finally discovered in tho person of a small boy, who, it is safe to say, will never figure as the juvenile hero of a Sunday school book.
