several years past he has been the
bookkeeper and confidential clerk of

ihat Capt. Thomas has now takeu

proof of Mr. ThompHon's high stand

a compliment of which he has just
cause to be proud. Another rcasou

Colored Celebration. Last Fri
day was a day that, will long be re
membcicd hy the colored people of
this coniuiuuitYj for on that day the
corner stone of the new A. AI. E.
church was laid in grand style. A
large crowd was present aud all seem
ed to enjoy the occasion to the utmost.
A brass baud from Sanford greatly
enlivened the delighted heaters,- and
the booiniug ot the old cannon (which
was lired several times in honor of
the occasion) aroused their ehthusi
ksm to the highest pitch. It is not
often the corner stone of a church is
laid amid the booming of cannon and
the music of a braes band! Colored
masons from Raleigh and Haywood
took part iu the ceremonies,- and were
the hrst ever seen here. But the
most conspicuous characters of the
day were the gaily decorated mar
shals, as they proudly dashed about
on their praucing sUeds. The church,
when completed, will be one of the
largest aud mot costly churches ?n
this county.- - r

Dwelling Burnt.-
I afternoon tue usual quiet tf our town
! was disturbed by the alarmiiig cry
of "nie" aud the rtnging of the
church bells increased the excite-
nieur, ana quietly everybody was
running to tue fccene of the fire,
! which proved to be the dwelling of
; Capt. Johu W. Taylor, about three
fourths of a milo from town. But
before help could arrive the house
whs wrapped m flames and was soon
destroyed with nearly all its contents.
All the out-buildings, however, wei e
saved, though it was hard work. Too
much credit cannot be given those
! men. both white and lln.r.lr- wlm
! worked so hard in fighting the fire,

; comfortable one, aud we much regret
1 ,,ear. ,here waa coinsurance. The
fire originated in the cook room,
probably from a defective flue.

1827, and is signed by John Quincy
Adams, Piesident, Henry Ciay. Sec-
retary of State, and William Wi' t,
j Attorney-General. These signatures
are very piaiuiy written and are as
legible as if made only a few months.
Mr. Dixou made a model of his in
vention in brass and seut it to Wash
iugluu City bv ou9 of his neighbors
(Joseph Marshall) in a one horse
wagon. At that time (1827) Hon.
John Long, of Randolph county, was
a member of Congress and he accom
nauied Mr. Marshall on his iournev
to Washington, travelling all ihe way
in the one-horse wagou. What would
a Congressman now thiuk if he had
lo travel to Washington in a one
horse wagon I
Mr. Dixou made no money out of
his great invention, which ought to
have beeu a fortune to him. His
patent, was for only fourteen years,
and, as at the expiration 01 tuat pe
liod he did not have it leuewed, any
person could have a bciiows made
like his iuvention.

The Dead Alive.
Chicago, Sept 6. A Times Cbat-
tanoosra.
Term
eral years ago Martin Pd'k robbed
the State treasury of Tennessee (J
several hundred thousand dollars
while serviug as S' ate treasurer. He
fled but was subsequently arrested
and returned to Nashville-. In due
time he was reported to have sick
ened and died. His body was shipped
from Nashville to Bolivar, Tennessee,
where it wits buried. Now comes
news that one Gamblef, a prominent
citizeu of Anniston, Ala , has just re
turned home from an extended visit
in the city of Mexico', arid while there
he met Polk on the street and talked
wi!h him. He made further invess
tigations and found Polk in busi
ness in that city. The affair ha.s
created no little excitement in this
part of the State. Gamble was well
acquainted with Poik while he was
treasurer of this State.

There are at luit one hundred and
fifty mules brought into aud sold in
Meckleuburg county yearly. Think
of it. Don't you know fifty mules

aud tear df the uiules in this county f
This ia proof to our mind that we kill
by bard work, bad treatment, and
starvation, one hundred head of
mules every year. We know one
man whose mules are always poor,
back and shoulders sore. This man
bujs all bis feed, is always hard up
and in a strain, and can't get credit
for five dollars. We know another
man whose mules are always fat,
never scarred up, and he never buy
any ieea, ana can get credit lor any
amount aeaaea. Uue at tuese mnu

. everybody is his friend. One-is never
strain, une is nappy, tne other is
miserable. One is the builder of his
own fortune, the other is the wrecker
of his fortune. . How can any man
get Along, how can any man expect
the Lord to prosper him in his busi
ness who is so cruel to his stock And
so reckless of his own interest? -The
law ought to b enforced against
every man who misuses or abuses
his stock. Who will put the: ball in
motion? If men were made to take
care of thei mules and horses iu
this county, it would be a clear sav
ing in dollais and cents yearly to the
oounty, or T$fc- to,th4eople of the
countV, of at least fifteen I. thousand
dollars yearly. How:, can we help
being poor so long as we kill up our
stock, buy all our home supplies from
the north, and don't raise enough on j
the farms to foot the bills made dur
ing the year ? Ought we not to be
poor, and do we deserve any better
fate? We saw nine mules in town j
Saturday, and the owners of each !
ought to be indicted, convicted and i
punished for cruel and inhuman treat-!
ment to animals, and we have no
doubt there are two hundred such
cases in the county. ' Poverty and
hard times will always follow in the
wake of such. . 7;

A Town Afflicted.
Lockport, Pa , Sept 2. This town
is suffering from a epidemic of black
Diphtheria. Out of a population of
2,000 people nearly half are down
with the disease, and 13 deaths have
occurred within the. ,p 8t five days.
The victims ore seized with black
vomit and usually die in two Or three
days. Au old viaduct which formed
a part of State canal, was destroyed
by dynamite, leaving stagnant pools
of water which, it is believed, caused
the epidemic.
Collections of Internal Revenue for
July last were $10,097,879, being
$361,411 more than the receipts
during tho same month of last year.
There was a decrease of $178,540
hi collections on spirits; an incease
of $3i2.700 on tobacco, $204727 on
fermented liquors, and a decrease of
$3,296 on miscellaneous objects.
The Signboard, published at Dunn's
in Harnett couity, says 'there are
forty marriageable' young nfen.iu the
corporate limits of that town with
only one marriagebale young lady.
At Flemiugdburg, Kentuck, on
Friday night, a negro who commit
ted ah assault upon a young lady wue
taken from the jail by one hundred
masked men and hanged.
A brakemau, nsiined Nordaby, leaped
fiom his train into th Housatouic

land fleet, was destroyed by fire Sun
