' In Miller vs. Commissioners of
Buncombe'county the North Caro
lina Supreme Court lays down the
following doctrine:
-The- Commissioners of a
county do not possess the arbitra
ry power of suppressing all places
for retailing spirituous liquors; nor
are they bound to license an ap
plicant though he be qualified, j,.
2. They have a limited legal dis
cretion, and in passing upon an
application for license they have a
right totake.intoconsideration
the questions whether the demands
of the public require an increase
of such accommodations, and
whetherlhe: place it is proposed
to establish a bar-room is a suit
able one. .
Fabius H. Busbee, : esq., , of
Raleigh, has received the appoint
ment of clerk to Senator Ransom's
committee on lfye improvement of
the Potomac flats at Washington.
The only regret we have and
it is a very sincere one -in the de
velopment of this transmontane
couritryyis the inevitable encroach
ment upon its forest beauty. We
cannot hear the tread of coming
thousands without a sad forebod
ing of the doom that 'awaits so
much that makes the landscape so
glorious and gives so much of po
etry to the virgin wilderness,, man
tled with the primeval-' woods, en
livened with its sparkling streams.
This solitude must needs be in
vaded; for, its. beauties and treas
ures tempt to invasion. ;.No hand
can stay the tide of progress or
turn aside the march of destiny.
But the invaders may learn Jo
profit by the faults of others, and
while they use their conquest, they
need not turn it all to spoil and
ravage. Asheville Citizen. . .?

The Shelby Aurora gives the
following sad affair: " A sad and
accidental tragedy was ? enacted in
Rutherford countyon; last Satur
day. Lafayette Wilson, a clever
young man of twenty-two sum
mers, and the son of W." Green
Wilson, on last Saturday Dec.
29th, went rabbit hunting: ".Wh'ile
crossing a .fence he fell, his gun
was discharged; and; its contents
entered his abdomen. The ter
rible wound was fatal, for on Sun
day morning before day he died.
On the last day of 1883 many
friends witnessed his burial in the
family Wilson cemetery."
The faculty of a Texas female
college has forbidden the: wearing
of hoops and bangs by the stu
dents.: -. . ' ' -v".
The c&ansas tCity tTimes Icon
tains the following on the subject
of popular hanging in Missouri:
"Many Women fainted when Bill
Fox was swung.into eternity yes
terday. If these women ,had; re
mained at home' where they ' be
longed they would not have faint
ed. The men did not faint for
the probable reason that most of
them were buoyed up by 10 cent
whiskey. No delicately organized
woman ought to go through the
strain of witnessing a hanging on
a glass of red lemonade.; We trust
this will be-a warning tr tbe
ladies." -
" My dear, I am shocked that
you should invite those young la
dies to your party." " Why, mam
ma, how you talk! They have al
ways been in society. Their father
is the postmaster." " Very true,
my. child, but you forget the
change which has recently occur
red." : " What change, mamma ?
" Why, the rates 'of postage have
been reduced to two cents."
Philadelphia Call;
The town of Sumten 'S. C,

pay a license of $260 a year. '
