C. K- Here I sit in a house on the hill where lives Mr. Cotton who keeps a No.l board ing house. I am writing in the very room that Lord Cornwallis occupied on his retreat from Greene when ho and his forces camped at this very spot. The floor of the room is the very same and the old sleepers nnder the house are sound and good yet. the graves of two I British officers lie Just up yonder under the trees and these graves are cased up with brick. The officers were killed at the ford yonder where they had come to let their horses drink, and the Biddle men, notorious in those days for that sort of work, picked them eff as they sat. Some of these Biddies still live in this section. TWO RUAS3 CANNON are buried somewhere around here, that these British had captured and buried them hero on that retreat and there is now a reward offered by the; United States government of forty thousand dollars for these brass pieces. If I could only handle the mattock and spade, and somebody would defray my expenses, I would forthwith go to digging. LOCKVIL.LE i is so called from the locks that are here and is in Chatham county 40 miles from Raleigh and just one mile from the Raleigh fc Augusta Air Line. It is the headquarters of' the Deep River Iron Manufacturing Company of which Col. Heck of Raleigh is president and Lob dell, the Wilmington (Del.) car man, is secretary and treasurer, and Capt. Ex line of Virginia is the excellent super intendent. Oh it is a grand looking old place. All iron countries are. But stand on yonder hill and look down at the river flowing in sheets of sparkling sil ver over the dams, and hill after hill with the smooty face of a blacksmith standing like grim sentinels around, while way down in the valley the steam mills are in a buz, and the little tores line the hill sides, while in the centre of them all, runs the flouring mill tht has a four hundred horse power of water and can run out twenty barrels offlour per day and near two hundred bushels of meal. On top of this hill the scnery rivals description. It is too prettyito be natural. It ought to be a picture. Vhat beautiful spot for a picnic! Let; our Raleigh folk make a note of it. j j the iron. . It would fill up this paper to write of the ore hereabouts. Down below Is the Buckhorn mine. Col. Heck sold one fourth of the interest in this mine the other day for two hundred -and forty thousand dollars. There too is the En dor mine.' They have even built av rail road of their own to run from the depot to Lockville, and they win soon push on the navigation of the river and run the steamboat up to Egypt. The ner chantsat Lockville are, A. J. Bynum & Bro., Utley & Stone, Parham fc Munn, J. T. Moffitt, W. B. Wilkie, and W. A. Berry has a drugstore. And now a vote of thanks to J ii Captain Exline. R Like the true and brave man he is, he would object to this notice, but his courtesy was too nice and savoured with too much of that delicacy that Isso rare in doing hospitality in these times, that we cannot refrain from a public acknowledgment. We warmed towards him from the first, for that empty sleeve was a password between, i us. And yet with but one arm spared him, be once rushed into the middle of the deep river and at the imminent risk of being swept over that young Niagara of a dam, he seized an old man who was sinking the third time and bore him lifeless to the shore where he was re stored to life. This man was Mr.' Al cott, the father of our worthy and popu lar young . confectioner in Raleigh, Wayne AlcolL I heard this froin a neighbor of Captain Exline. Hejaa too modest ever to allude to it. I hear that the Captain thinks of leaving" for his old home In Virginia in May.; If this be so the Deep River Company: will lose a valuable right arm and never will they supply tfie place with so good an officer and eleant and accomplished Dotting Around and About. To-day on the train with Mr. Ferrell of Durham, and other gentlemen, for traveling companions, my mind ran upon snakes and I Introduced the' ab ject. Mr. F. and another gentleman knew all about them, and I sat and lis tened. I learned that the little green snake is aa mild as ribbon. That the king snake circulates largely in this section and is monarch of all the snakes. That rattlesnakes are found between here and Morrisville. That the black adder is also found around here, and you never find one running about un less he Is fully grown. Their parents keep them in school until they are grown up snakes. Mr. F. told me of a Mr. Busbee of this county who once tamed two king snakes while he was fishing at a certain pond he visited every season and spent a couple of weeks at. The snakes smelt the food when his dinner was sent him, and they would come out of their holes in the woods and creep under the log where be was sitting and eat out of his bands. Many persons used to go out from Raleigh and witness this sight. The conversa tion then turned- on the best plan for ridding gardens and fruit trees of bugs and insects. Mr. Ferrell said that when ha was clerk of the court in Raleigh, "Judge Badger once told him that every spring he got the boys to get him a gang of frogs and he put them in bis garden to eat up the bugs. And Mr. F. has made it a rale ever since to gather toads every spring and put them in his garden. He finds them the best pre ventive of the lady bug, and in fact all other pests, that he ever tried. As for the worm In the peach tree, he never suffers from it because he makes him little bag and fills it with salt and ties it; in the fork of the tree, and if there's a worm there, it gets up and travels. With my mind running upon bugs and Snakes and worms, I went and dug some bait and spent two hours fishing in Eno, a water moccasin sunning himself in front of me, and I caught the largest and I guess the only fish that ever was in that river. It was a minnow about the size of Miss 's engagement finger. SALISBURY. I lit in Salisbury only time enough to take a good breakfast at the Boyden House kept by Cal Brown, that prince f hotelists and so well known from Beaufort to Buncombe and back again. ut a birds eye glance at the place summed up a few conclusions of my vn: Salisbury has been a high old fowii' in her day. From '41 to '55, before tjhe' railroad run, they used to trade tjhero from all the upper counties, and besides 'from Patrick and Henry and many other counties in Virginia. Mur phy fe Co., as also Jenkins Co., used to sell a hundred and fifty thousand dol lars worth every season. Now since the railroads have come, Salisbury is liven the go by ar.d Statesville is the rising town. At the present time Sal isbury needs a circus or a public speak ing to draw a crowd with. There is a nest full of old politicians and young scions who don't help the trade of the (own a bit except in election times ijrhen they fly 'out in families and speak to the country people who have read the handbills on the fence, "that there was going to be a political ppeak ing that day in Salisbury." Were I galled on to prescribe for Salisbury as well as for Hillsboro aud Xewbern, I'd mix a prescription to make the old fogies rise with the lark to catch the early worm, and I would locate the worm so far out of town that the old ones would never find tbeir way back home. j The population of Salisburj- is near t ireo thousand. oreensboro. You can always tell when you aro hear Greensboro by smelling the coffoe. By the way a gentleman's death, who died from the hip disease, has been at tributed to "a cup of hot coffee" he pur chased at this depot. But I drank ib cents worth and found no good grounds for it at all. And I am told that the chicken leg that accompanies it always belongs to the oldest and most respect able rooster in the town, j' Kev. Mr. Cunningim, Methodist Di vine, is beloved by all people and all denominations. He is a good man. "ghat's the secret. I: One of the largest and most elegant drug stores in the South is run in Greensboro by the Callum Brothers. Their stock of drugs is magnificent and they are fast on the way to fortune and success. j. There is always a chicken in the gar den that kicks up a fuss at this season. t hope Greensboro may escape, but I jear not. "Run and tell M r. So and so to put up his chickens and keep them out of my garden, or I'll kill them." f'Yougo back and tell Mr. if he kills my chickens I'll kill his old cow t;bat unlatches my gate every night as good as a man and comes in and eats tip my flowers." I never knew the sweet spring time to go to budding but What little difficulties like these spring up between neighbors. Mr. Bliss, a univcrsalist preacher from Massachusetts, and said to be an iexemplar for piety, died in this place a few weeks since. He told his good wife Just before be died that he wanted her so soon as the breath left his body to return thanks that he was in heaven And sure enough she did. And sent for Mr. Cunningim, the Methodist Di vine, and right there in the room and by his deathbed, they all knelt down and the reverend gentleman put up a most beautiful and touching prayer jof thanksgiving that the dead man was in heaven. I believe that every newspaper in the land should be a tell-tale of all good deeds as well as evil ones. From friends of the families, and who have caught it up from hearsay, I learn that Judge Dick's family, and Mrs. Weirs of this city, are considored among the poor, "the salt of the earth." The sick and distressed never lack for atten tion from theso two families. They feed them. They nurse them.' And they do it silently, modestly, ' and the right hand never knows the left. But I tattle it! Yes, I love to tattle it. It shows there are people made in the im age of God still living on this earth. And had I the power I would hurl honor and position upon all such, faster than the tongue of envy and prejudice ever darted its shafts at them. ' The last words of the great men of our day sink into nothingness beside the last words of a good lady who died the other day in Greensboro. Mrs. McLean was beloved by all for her christian graces and womanly virtues, and up to her last moments she spoke of dying as if she were leaving for a beautiful country. Just a few moments before death, when her friends were excited and were crowding the room, she raised her head and whispered to the lady who sat at her bedside, "Give Robbie his supper." Then laid back and died. There was the mother for you ! In the hurry and excitement of the moment she was afraid her little boy would be forgotten. That boy will remember those last words of his mother to the end of his days. April 4, 1873. The Purest and Sweetest Cod Liver Oil is Hazard fc Caswell's, made on the sea shore, from fresh, selected livers, by Caswell, Hazard & Co., New" York. It is absolutely pure : and sweet.

' Pittaboro is the county seat of Chat ham and is nine miles from Lockville. In company with Dr. C. M. Dowd and Cap. .Exline I .made the trip to this somewhat famous ana aristocratic old town. Of course I put up with Squire Burke' of Our, House, whose worthy lady, the finest old fashioned hostess in the South, set before c a dinner of ye olden time. The old country ham, sweet and juicy, seemed even more tempting amid a dish of fine salad and Here and there among the well cooked and varjed meats, was an advance stock of spring vegetables that looked like crowding the season, for the day was cold and biting. Pittsboro i over a hundred years old. Her first courthouse stood just over the creek. ; Then the second courthouse was built in the town, high up on pillars, and the cake and pie carta used to be driven nnder there and the people buy and eat. But Gov. Manly (all the Manlies were natives here) made such fun of it and dubbed it "half house and half alligator." that , in 1844 they built another, that is now the pres ent courthouse. I took a list of the sev eral stores, but in the confusion of pa pers have lost it. At any rate the most prominent merchants are, Messrs. W. A. Xash, Cowan, London, & Hedden, Bynum & Co. While Dr. Hanks fe Son (the cleverest of men) and Glennahan are the druggists. Episcopal Church has the largest membership. No Bap tist preacher here. Rev. R. B. Sutton teaches a fine female school of 50 young ladies. And Mr. Peter Doub has t small school of 15 or 2 male scholars, Good flour is worth $3 per barrel. Pittsboro has 500 inhabitants.

' You don't understand ?" quoth the Judge. " Ugh !" responded the coon skin, and the tail of the cap shook. The Judge repeated the reprimand, and there was a pause. When the fellow turning around and starting suddenly off, kicked out his hind leg at the Judge, and remarked: " You're a darn'd ole Jool " Put him in jail, Mr. Sheriff," said the Judge. " May it please the Court, we have no jail," repfted the Sheriff. " Then put him under the fence," said the Judge. And they took coon skin out and put him under two rails flat of his back, and two men sat on each end of the rails. ' And where i the other man?" asked the Judge. "If you please, sir," said the Sheriff, "the posse comitatus are after hini. now, and tliey say they will have him if it takes 'em all day to run him down." FOR TRUE HOSPITALITV thetov.nof little Pittsboro cannot be surpassed. And I only regret not being able to remain longer and see more of the place. The warm and hospitable invitation of Col. Erie and others to do so, I truly appreciate, aud may avail myself at some future day. March 27th, 1873. A Scene on the Cars. BY T. C. E. Capt. Liggon, that splendid man, was tho conductor. And two old ladies sat on one seat, and an old fat gentleman sat in front of them. The old gent kept snuffing his nose and smelling some thing. At last ho remarked as his nose turned up, " That horrid kerosene in those lamps, don't you smell it?" The ladies said " no." The porter presently passed by, aud one of the ladies asked, "Boy, what do you burn in those lamps?" " Lard oil, madam," said he and the ladies both giggled and cried " they didn't see how the old gentleman could smell lard oil for kerosene." The old gent's nose went up again, and this time he laid it ou the coal In the stove, The porter passed by, again, and the ladies asked, " Boy, what do you burn in that stove?" " Wood, madam," said he. There was a "he, he, he," all around, and the old gentleman grew red in the face and blew his nose with a terrible snort in a great bandanna kerchief. The truth was the old gent was an " old bach " who was fond of complaining, and he was in love with one of the ladies, and the way he did his courting was by lifting his nose in discontent with every thing around him. And the lady, (who was an old maid, and sorter in love with him,) took a delight in contradict ing him in everything and proving him "so foolish." Meningitis. Shelby in the coun ty of Cleaveland is in a panic over the meningitis. Several persons are attack ed with the dreadful disease and some have died. The students of Dr. Turner's school are leaving for their homes. The joint resolution endorsing Gov ernor Walker's plan for the assumption by the Federal Government of the debt of the States has passed both Houses of the General Assembly of Virginia, and the Governor has been instructed to for ward copies of the resolution and his message on the same subject to the leg islatures of the several States. The Senate passed a joint resolution amend ing the State constitution so as to pro vide for biennial sessions of tho legis lature for Virginia. The mortuary chapel which is about to be built by the Empress Eugenie for the reception of the remains of her hus band will be in the mediaeval style fourteenth century period and will be twenty-four feet long by twelve feet wide. The tomb, which is the gift of the Queen, will beof polished Peter-head granite, and will be simply inscribed, " Napoleon III., H. L. P." The Chicago Post has this interesting announcement? "Queen Victoria will appear in public next season, more than she bas during any year since the death of Prince Albert." The queen remark ed to us, the last time we saw her, says the Courier-Journal that whenever she determined to go into society more than mual, she would let us know through the Chicago Tost. The colored Republicans in New Or leans passed resolutions indorsing Judge Durrell and President Grant, but ex pressing pain at the failure of the Senate to accord P. S. Pinch back his seat in that body. The resolutions also threaten the secession of the colored Republicans from the party unless they are treated better by Congress. An insane American appeared at the Lodge gate of Windsor Castle and de manded admittance to see the Queen, alleging that her majesty was his mother. He was arrested by the guards, and upon being threatened with incar ceration in the mad house promised to return to the United States. The Chairman of the Jivlioiary Com mittee of the New York Assembly, will reoort. aa instructed, by a resolution of the house the proposition to amend the constitution so ss to grant saiirage to women holding property to the amount of $2,500. - ' s ii. c. eccles, r Proprietor,' '.

Its Officers and Directors are citizens of the State, ol high charater for business capacity, enterprise and probity. It offers every Substantial IJenefit that Northern Companies do, with the great additional consideration that the capital is kept within the State, and, therefore, helps to build up and foster Home Institutions. Another important fact to be considered is, that the Wilmington Life has thus far obtained a very much larger interest for the money invested nt home, than any of the New York Companies receive for their investments, according to their sworn state ments before the Commissioner of that State These unquestionable facts should com mend this Company, above nil others, to our people. Let it be borne in mind that' millions of dollars received for Life premi ums have been sent North since the war, which at once drains the South and enrich es the plethoric capitalists of the North If there was no other consideration, safety, fairness and cheapness being equal, why North Carolinians should insure at uomk, this were more than sufficient, The Wilmington Life has excellent special features. It places no restriction on Residence or Travel ; it makes no extra charge for Fe male risks; and its policies are incontesta ble after Five Years. Its business is managed economically. Its risks are taken with equal caution. Its In vestments are made judiciously. Its motto is: " Economy , Promptness, Fairness."

The i;rra( Achievrnirul of tlio nineteenth Century, Till: IAILY GKAI1IIC All lite ew and full ni IMrture. The1 D aii.y G KAmic Is the till of a newspaper, published in lOiK, which is ac hieving the most remarkable journalistic success ever chronicled. 1 1 is an: eiKhi-paiie evening paper (inrco edition daily), elegantly printed, end conducted by the ablest editorial talent attainable. i Asa newspaper the Daily Graphic stands in the ihrst raiiK, and contains regularly The iVery Latest mid Fullest News i i - Irom nil Parts of the World, f I - ' - It-t iirreat feature consists in the fuot that it is not' only a newspaper, but nn illustrated newspaper as well. Four of its pages are filled with choice reading matter telegrams, editorials, general . and local news, items, gossip, and cor respondence on tho freshest and most interesting topics. Tho remaining four pages consist of .M'I.i:.DlI I I.I.I MTRATIOXS, executed in the most faultless and ar tistic style, and portraying accurately and fully all leading event within twenty-four hours after their occurrence. Those who have ' made Journalism a study, and fully appreciate the great enterprise manifested in the collection , and publication of news by the sid of tho telegraph J steam presses, and the development of journalistic talent, have . been fond of advancing tho theory that the next advance in that field would re- suit in a newspaper furnishing in Us regular issues pictures of all current . prominent events. That theory is a theory no longer ; the newspaper of the future is the newspaper of to-day; and that paper is the Daily Graphic. The processes which render this marvellous achievement an existing fact are the re sult of the most careful study and an endless variety of experiments, gradu ally perfected during the past twelve years. They j depend upon improve ments in lithography and the applica tion jof the photographic- camera. By their aid a picture is engraved and made ready to print, in from twenty minutes to two hours. Costly and elaborate platee, works of arts, scenes of Interest, are reproduced and pictured forth with eoual facility and the most scrupulous fidelity. Illustrations of leading events are engraved and prepared for the press even before the accompanying written narrative or description lpaves the hands of tho compositor. For tho proper practical working of so great an enterprise, THE GRAPHIC COMPANY was formed, with. I i A Capital of $500,000 iu Gold. i i months and months before the first is sue of tho Daily Graphic, the most extensive preparations were made, and to-day TIIE GRAPHIC COMPANY has j , The; Largest and OTost Complete Newspaper Establishment In the t-'nlted. States, I '. In the great work of illustrating the events of the day an extensive corps of . the bent known and most accomplished artists are constantly engaged. The Daily Graphic alms to lx in its strictest sense a newspaper. Utrivlng always to be just and truthful. It dis cusses all questions independently and impartially. It is not the orgairof any party, sect or creed. It U always high toned, and contains nothing to ollond any tasto. Its contents give it an im- . mense advantago over tho "old fashion ed" paiers. The annual Muhttcrilcr gets r- ! A Pictorial Illtory of the Year, a volume of twenty-fourhundred page, constituting a valuable record of events and a graphic panorama of our time and progress.
