The grain mills which have for the past month or so been in course of erec tion by Messrs. Williamson, Up church & Thomas, near tho North Carolina Railroad depot, are now finished and in a few days will commence operations. The ma chinery is of first class order and all of the arrangements are most complete. We have no doubt the enterprise will prove a success, and we hope many others will follow the example of these enterprising proprietors. Amusements. Now that the political excitement has ended and the people have relaxed into their wonted quiet it would be a good time for a circus, menagerie or something else in the show line to come along. Nothing operates so well to unite a crowd as a good hearty laugh at the clown. We boldly assert that at the close of a performance the clown could get more votes in Raleigh than all the late candidates put together. Peo ple may talk about massing the votes of different parties but the clown can beat them all at consol idation. Wo notice that Carrington's Cir cus is heading this way. We hope it may come quickly. Decision. Justice Reade, the Supreme Court, has filed of an opinion in the case of Perry vs. Whitaker, et al., which, it will be remembered, involved the right to sell liquor in this township. It is held by the Court, that inasmuch as the books were not opened for reg istering the names of voters as re quired in section 12, chapter 52 of Battle's Revisal, the election held in May last on the Prohibition question was null and void. The decision of the Court is not based upon the unconstitutionality of the act, but only upon tho irregularity of the election, and therefore, if the question should hereafter be sub mitted in proper form the decision of the people of the Township will become the law. A Good Chance. The old say ing that "I'ts an ill wind that blows no body any good," is now being verified in our midst We have had, thus far, an unusually healthy summer. Our doctors have not done as well lately as they general ly do in the hot months of July and August, and our apothecaries have not compounded the usual number of summer prescriptions. But, gen tlemen, cheer upt mix up your alum, honey, and other gargling stuffs. One-half of the Democratic party in Raleigh have the sore throat, while one-half of the re maining half have so stretched their lungs as to require cough med icine for months to come. When we take into consideration the fur ther fact that an enormous quanti ty of blue mass will be required to put into proper action the torpid livers of some of our Republican friends whose bile was a little stirred up during the late- unpleasantness, we can safely predict a more active tate of the, medicine market for at least the balance of this year. ;TnE Old Club House. Bev. Mr. Tlffhinf fh flinrfhftf fhofJftno Tio w r ur t has moved into the house, at the corner of Hlllsboro and McDowell streets, formerly occupied by.OoI.-S. T. Carrow, U. 8. Marshal, and Col. A. W. Shaffer. Itesister in Bank ruptcy, The old house will remain, we understand, until the, comple tion of the new church which is to be erected on the same lot, when It will be pulled down. This house was at one time the residence of W. M. Boy lan, Esq., but at the close of the war it was vacated by that gen tleman and was leased by the pres ent Sheriff of Wake, T. F. Lee, Esq., who converted It into a Club House. The old mansion lias been the f many a Jolly reunion, and i 113 IIU"3 nve ruujr wii.ii uie strains of good old songs. There are many old and young who can look back to pleasant hours spent in the "old Club House." Memory calls back the gigantic frame of Tim Lee, with his polished head and white shirt front, reaching for the black bottle of one of his many customers in its numbered Case. Tim was then in the prime of life and had never dreamed of " wotiner the ticket." Later still we recall the jolly face of Sam Carrow, as he extended to some poor unfortunate tne rignt hand of fellowship, accompanied perhaps with a stray dollar. But the old 'Club House," like all earth ly things, has had its day, and ere long it will exist only in the mind's eye. We bid it farewell. Lone relic of the past, Old mouldering pile."

The Colonel escaped by jumping from one steamer to the other. He was badlybut not seriously bruised, at The Salisbury Watchman says: The farm on which Mr. David Sheets has such a fine crop this year, was sold a few years ago by a Mr. Elliott, who moved to the West, because, as he alleged, it was too poor to support his family on. Under the superior management of Mr. Sheets, this same land has been made to yield from 20 to 30 bushels oi wneai to me acre, aim iu uruuuw other crops accordingly. Mr. El liott, no doubt, imagined that he could make a living easier in the rWest, made no effort to improve I n13 mna ere, anu ne was growing poor.

This is the difference. Let North Carolinians remain at home and improve their lands. They can find no better homes in the West, or elsewhere. The Hobesonian says : Mr. P. G.

The fisrht be- tween the monster and these gentle- men was very nerce; ne was snot through the head three times, but without any good results, nor did he cease resistance till Mr. P. G. Kinlaw cut his throat. He first seized him by the tail, and, having dispatched him, rolled him upon the back. On Sunday, the monster was dissected, and the dog which he had swallowed on Tuesday be- f0re was still whole and no signs of decomposition were to be seen. Ihe dog was cut in two about middle way his body, the head and shoul ders being swallowed whole, but the other half was quartered, it is said that the dog could be sworn to.

Sealed proposals will be received at this office until 12 M. of the 6th day of May, 1874, for furnishing and deliver ing at the site of the United States Court House and Post Office at Raleigh, North Carolina, all of the dimension stone re quired for the exterior of that bnilding. The species of stone from which a se lection will be made will be confined to granites, marbles and sand stones, and the qualities especially insisted upon will be uniformity of color and texture, durability, and the capacity for working under the chisel or hammer. A sample block 12x12x12 inches must be submitted with each bid, showing on one lace the natural fracture of the stone, and on the others different grades of cutting. The stone must have a good grain and be free from all discoloring substances, and the quarry from which it is procured must be fully opened and capable of furnishing the quality and quantity desired within one year. About 30,000 cubic feetmore or less will be required. The actual average of the stones cannot now be given, but will approximate 10 cubic feet, the largest stones containing about 75 cubic feet. The stone will be ordered on a schedule of net sizes, and allowance of one inch to each cut face will be made for quarry dimensions, according to the rules made by this Department in order that the contractor may make proper allowance for cutting, in the quarrying, and on this schedule payment will be made. Bidders will state how soon they can commence delivering the stone and the amount per week they can deliver.
