Industry of Birds. Some curious statistics about small birds have recently been laid before the House of Commons. The. thrush is said to work from 2:30 in the morn- . ing until 9:30 in the evening, or nine teen hours. During this time he feeds his young 20G times. Blackbirds work seventeen hours. The male feeds the young 44 times and the females f times per day. The industrious tit mouse manages to spread 417 meals a day before its voracious ofEspring. Ac cording to one naturalist, their food consists largely of catapiliars. These statements, and a hundred more quite as curious, were made in an eloquent plea for a law to protect small irds from being snared and shot. Unfort unately, although the speech seems to prove mai iney are really the allies, instead of the enemies "of the farmer, the old prejudices against them were strong enough to defeat the bill. " The New York correspondent of The St. Louis Globe says: Tho intention of The Tribune Association to put up a new printing establishment next spring has been, it is asserted, abandoned, in consequence of the imminent proba- bility of Horace Greeley's defeat in jNovemDer. 1'resent indications are that the dividends of the paper will not be as large or as regular d uri ng the next tl h oar as they nave been in the present, and it is not singular, under the cir cumstances, that the stockholders should be unwilling to incur any need less expense." v.

The Roanoke News says since our last appearance, we learn that the negro, referred to as having been struck on the head by another at Gaston, has died from the effect or injuries received in the fight. So the attacking negro .must have struck him elsewhere than on ihe head. Also, that a small negro boy, while drlVf ing gin horses on the farm of Col. F. M.

The Visitor . of the 26th, published at Mount Airy, Surry county, has the follow ing: Mrs. Hull, who but a few weeks ago at tempted suicide by shooting herself, renew ed the effort to put an end to her existence, on last Sunday, by cutting her throat with a table knife, w hich she had concealed in her pocket, while washing the dishes after dinner. She had, scarcely recovered from the wound which 'she inflicted upon herself at the first attempt to destroy her own life, which was supposed at first would prove fa tal. There are but little hopes entertained of her recovery from the last wounds in flicted by the knife. The particulars of this singular affair, as we received them, are that the family, with the exception of Mrs. Hull ana a daughter, had gone to church, leavincr the mother and daughter at home. After eating, their dinner they lay down on a pallet iupon the floor, and the daughter fell asleep,- but was awakened from her slumbers by a noise in the room. She arose and hastened to look after her mother, who had been lelt iu her care. And hor ror 1 she finds her mother standing before a mirror, with the knife in her hand which she had concealed in her pocket, and sawing it across her throat with great earnestness, and with as much composure as if she was carving a chicken. The daughter rushed, with screams, upon her mother and caused her to cease the horrid operation. On ex- eminatioii it was found that her windpipe was neailv severed, and the hollow of a swallo'y and neck veins were reached, thoutrh not cut. All was done with a dull dinini; knife. The cause of her mental af fliction is yet unknown, but it is supposed by some to have arisen frow religious ex citement or weakness of mind caused by bad health. We learn she says that she felt it to bejher duty to do what she has done. The circumstances as we have received them are singular, and beyond precedent. ' ! Absconding liank Teller. Last week, a Mr. Teller, an officer of the State Bank of Virginia, located at Richmond ab sconded. An examination proves him to be a defaulter to the amount of 325.000. He left theifollowing : I ' li' "Richmond. Oct. 24, 1872. "Mr. T. M. Goddin. Cashier, dc : When vnu read this I shall be dead. I can't live and face the world with the terrible black stain on me.

Refbrte God I'have never wronged, or rather defrauded, the bank out of one dollar for my own use or benefit. The 'short' is tho debt of others from whom I never re ceived one dime. This you can easily prove. May God forgive me, for I know you never can." j : No one believes that Teller committed suicide; and it is reported that he was seen in Weldon, where he took a meal. & t ' - . tabor For Next Year. The Fayette ville Eaole has the following pertinent re marks,-which we commend to our farmers: What are we gainer to do for labor? Now is the time to mature plans for another year. What has become of the movement to get laborers from the upper counties for . . . 1 m. rrs s i , our ncn coiion lanasr mese peopie win come.' Many of them are anxious to come. and our farmers should at once perfect ar rangements with them. Farming, fellow-citizens, is our only hope for general and thorough prosperity. Ev ery other scheme is laise ana aeiusive. Then we must extend farms, improve the soil, and let our vast plains team with rich productions. The labor we now have will not do this. If we do not get labor now, when will we get it? Can we get it when wo get poorer and after thousands or our working people will have gone West ? TJnique Address. The following is the address of a letter that recently passed through New York Post Office: Now, Uncle Sam, if you miscarry This letter to Miss Addie Pell, By Jupiter ! you'll catch " Old Harry," Or something worse thanlHarry" well. She's gone to Stamford, Ct., where ; ; - YouUl find tho truant dame : ..; , , : t V Some ry she's gone for change of air, , And some to change her name." - Then, Uncle, bid your postman tramp, " And for yonr trouble, here's your- ; .. : . ' u. s.i Judge G W. Logran. J"udge Logan is to hold a special term of "Wake Superior Court on the first Monday of January next. Gov. Caldwell made the appointment, and ia, consequently responsible. We have al ready recommended Judge Logan for the Supreme Court Bench in place of Judge Dick, promoted. He can be spared from this Circuit, and no tears will be shed. Charlotte Democrat. . - The manner in which The Democrat has assailed Judge Logan is as contemptible as it is unmanly. The Democrat pursued a moderate course after the war ended . to such an extent that it lost caste among the faithful. About this time it was fulsome in its praise of Judge Logan as a judicial officer, as its columns will show. By hook or crook T7ie Democrat and The Southern Home got into a bitter contro versy, in which the " moderate Editor" was so badly used up, that he was compelled to " Shuck" his moderation. Since that time a more bitter sheet, not excepting The Ral eigh Sentinel, has not been published in the State. Judge Logan has been pursued and hunted down by The Democrat as a man to tally unworthy of the position he now occu pies.. The attempt to impeach him was got ten up by the Kuklux because they feared him, and because ho had broken up the Klan iri the West. The Democrat sustained the lawyers in their warfare on Judge Lo gan; ana having failed to nave mm im peached and deposed, it now follows him as if he was a criminal endeavoring to escape the penalty of the law. v Judge Logan is an honest, upright man. He has never been charged with corruption of any kind. Tho charge of incompetency was raisea toy Democratic lawyers ana overruled by a Democratic Legislature. Notwithstanding this vindication of Judge Logan, The Democrat has seen fit to follow him with such paragraphs as that quoted in tne Decinnins: oi tins article. . we ten The Democrat, and those for whom it speaks, that Judge Logan is not to be put down by such attacks. He has done his State and country invaluable service by striking the Kuklux a deadly blow, aud his friends and the Republican party will sustain him in any issue tnat tne jvukiux or tneir xepre- sentauves may raise. A . - As the extreme bitter course of The Dem ocrat receives the support of the Democracy and Kuklux, we presume its continuous and puerile attacks on Judge Logan will bo continued. Attack on Mayor Whitaker. The Mayor of Raleigh sent a white 'man to the Guard House last week because he caned a negro woman who purposely and deliberately ran over his (the white man's) daughter. The Mayor of Raleigh is elected to office by negroes, hence his conduct. He deserves caning, and Mr. Branch, the white man imprisoned and insulted, ought to do it. W e lorm our opinion from reports pub 1 ished in The Raleigh Sentinel, and we be lieve they are correct. Charlotte Democrat. Yes, and if he is worthy the name of man, he will cane the rascal the first time he catches him on the streets. Salisbury Watchman. -Mr. Brancli was imprisoned for con tempt. After the case had been decided and Mr. Branch bound over to the Superior Court, ho turned to4he girl, in the presence of His Honor, with finger pointing in her face, and with an oath to match, said "You do that again, and I'll give you another whipping." Whereupon, the Mayor order ed Mr. Branch to the lock-up for two hours for contempt. These are the facts .of the case. When Mr. Branch was turned out, he applied to a leading Democratic lawyer of this City to prosecute Mayor Whitaker for false imprisonment. That lawyer told Mr. Branch that he had better drop the matter,, as Mayor Whitaker knew his business, and in all probability had not transcended the law. After receiving this advice from his law yer, Mr. Branch went to the Mayor, apolo gised for his contempt, and offered to pay any tine if the case was not carried to the Superior Court. It appears that The Democrat and Watch man have gone stark mad. They advise Mr. Branch to "cane" the Mayor of this City ; and the former paper says " He de serves a caning, and Mr. Branch, the white man imprisoned and insulted, ought to do it." The Watchman chimes in and says " Yes, and if he is worthy the name of man, he will cane the rascal the first time he catches him on the streets." We submit that this is good (?) advice 1 A breach of the peace is advised. The Mayor of the Capital Citv is to be caned because he maintained the dignity of his Court! Why did not these journals, who claim to be conservators of the peace, advise Mr. Branch to exhaust his legal remedy before they advised and en couraged a violation of the law, and a breach of the peace ? However, such advice is not unexpected from papers which have re peatedly apologised for the outrages of the Ku Klux, and assailed the government for squelching a midnight-military organiza tion, gotten up in the interest of the Demo cratic party, and by virtue of murders and outrages committed by that organiza tion, tho Democrats achieved temporary success in 1870. Among a certain class mob spirit is still rife ; and until that spirit is crushed out, we may expect similar attacks on judicial officers who have the courage to maintain the dignity of their offices, and properly punish all persons who violate the law. Local Papers. The New York Times says you might nearly as well forget your churches, your academies and school-hou ses as to forget your local paper. It speaks to ten times the audience that vour local minister does. It is read eagerly each week from beginning to end. It reaches you all, and if it has a lower spirit and less wisdom than a sermon, it has a thousand times bet ter chance at you. Laying, as it does, on every table, in almost every house, you owo it to yourselves to rally liberally to Its sup port, and exact from it as able, high-toned a character as you do from any educator in your midst, it is in no-sense oeneatn no tice and care unless you yourself are be neath notice and care for it is your repre sentative. Indeed, in its character, it is the summation of the importance, interest and welfare of you all. It is the aggregate of your own consequence, and you cannot ig nore it without miserably depreciating yourselves. - Federal Court at Statetrrilie. The American says the Federal Court closed in that place on last Thursday, only the Grand Jury continuing the second week. We learn that a large number of .bills were found for infringements of the Revenue Laws, Ku Kluxing, and political intimida tion of voters,: which caseswill come up at the next term.: Owing to the busy season or the year, Judge Dick made the term as short as possible. It would be well for peo ple who have infringed the laws in any re spect, to live up to them hereafter, which will tell in their favor when the Court re assembles and go far to ameliorate any for mer offence. f Raleigh Typographical Union, Ko 34.

A Series ol Accidents The Wilming ton Tost says a series of accidents occurred at Whiteville on the night of the 30th, about 8 o'clock. It seems that the Southern bound freight was on the turnout track, but was longer than the side track, and consequently some of the rear cars were upon the main track. The 1 Northern bound passenger train came in and of course not knowing that the rear end of the.freig'it was on the track, rushed into it and smashed several feight cars. The wreck had hardly been j cleared away and the passenger train backed out of the way for the Southern bound pas senger train, when it came thundering in from Wilmington, and owing to a misplac ed switch, dashed into the rear o? the bat tered freight train, driving it upon the pas senger train which had first collided with the freight. Nobody vkilled, but an exten sive destruction of property was the result. Fates of Liberal Republicans,- Banks Bursted. . Sumner Silenced. ; Schurz Baffled.- ! , Doolittle Overdone. , Trumbull Cowed.

Tlie Franklin Courier of the 1st inst., says a few days ago Mr. John Ful ler left home to transact some business in town with the intention of returning home on the evening of the same day. After spending the day in town he started for home and on the following day had not made his appearance. His family becoming alarmed at his protracted absence sent out parties to look for him thinking that some accident had befallen him. On his way home he had to cross a stream that had become very much swollen by recent rains and it was feared that he. might have fallen in and been drowned. Another day of suspense was endured by his family, and on Sunday morning his body was found in Sycamore Creek, about half a mile from where it empties into Tar River. j Mr. Fuller, left a wife and several small children to mourn his loss. i The American Farmer. The Novem ber number of this old standard agricul tural journal contains a large amount of varied and useful matter appropriate to the season, and every department of rural life receives its due share of attention. , For the new volume for 1873 the publishers offer very handsome inducements in the way of valuable premiums for the formation of clubs, and we recommend our readers to send for specimen numbers. The Farmer is published by Samuel Sands fe Son, Balti more, Md., at $1.50 a year, or at 1 to clubs of five or more. This work possesses the peculiar interest of being published by the printer who set up the first MSS. copy of. The Star Span gled Banner. Long may it wave. Man Killed in Franklin ton. A fatal encounter took place on yesterday at Frank linton, between Mr. Vaughan, a bar keep er, and a Mr. Bragg, who owed Mr. V. a bill for liquor. It appears that Mr. Vaughan dunned Mr. Bragg for his bill early in the morning. No quarrel ensued at this time, but it was ob served that Bragg took offense at being dunned. Later in the day the parties met again ; Bragg, who had been drinking free ly, threatened to shoot Vaughan if he men tioned the account to him again, or follow ed him about town. From, this threat a quarrel commenced, and a fight ensued. Bragg was armed with a double-barrelled shot gun, and fired upon Vaughan, produc ing almost instant death. U. S. Court at New Heme.

GRANT ALMOST TJNANmOUSLY RE-ELECTED ! HEAVIEST MAJORITY POPULAR VOTE EVER GIVEN. . ON - Northern all Gone , for Grant. GREELEY MAY GET FOUR SOUTH- i i : EM STATES. Republicanism Triumphant. PEACE AND PROSPERITY PER ; : . ' . MANENT. . We have only time to say, in this issue of our weekly, that Grant is triumphantly re elected by the largest majority on the popu lar vote even given to any man in this coun try. . New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Maine, Vermont, New Hampshire, Massa chusetts, and all the Northern and Eastern States have gone overwhelmingly for Grant. Pennsylvania is said to have given a ma jority of ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND, and Massachusetts EIGHTY THOUSAND for Grant! Virginia is thought to have gone, for Grant with all the Southern States except Ken tucky, Maryland, Georgia and Texas for Greeley by reduced majorities. Every where Grant and the Republican Congres sional tickets make heavy gains, and the next Congress will stand nearly as over whelmingly Republican as the States have gone for Grant. In our own State Grant makes gains near ly everywhere, and his majority in North Carolina will not fall far short of TWENTY THOUSAND. This is the greatest political victory ever achieved by any party, and in the face of the desertion of so many leading Republi cans last Spring the result will astound tho World. ' Tho "Liberal Republicans" where are they? The " Democrats " and " Conservatives" are wearing a big disgust and going 'round like this SICK CROW I Woman Burned to Death Tyro Circus Men Badly Buriied.77i Goidsboro Messenger says a most distress ing affair occurred on Wednesday night last, the evening of the performance of John Robinson's Circus. There was an old well near the place of the exhibition ; and while the people were leaving the pavilions, a ne gro woman walked; into the .well. Mr. Clark, of the Circus employees, jumped in after the woman. A large crowd collected around the spot, and Nicholas Ashe, anoth er of the Circus men, was pushed into the well. A large lamp which had been'placed near the well, was upset and knocked into the well. The woman was soon enveloped in a flame that destroyed life. The men were badly but not seriously burned. : A colored man was also slightly burned. The wonian was the wife of Silas White, and had-no children. Mr. John Robinson. as soon as he heard of the heart-rending af fair, called at Tlie Messenger office and left twenty dollars for the purpose of defraying the burial expenses. We suggest that a curb.be placed around the well, or that it be securely covered over. Charlotte, Columbia Sc Augusta Rail road.
