There is wiltl excitement among the citizens of Buoneville, lnd twenty miles north of here, over a mvRtenou housebreaker, who laui-h at bolts and bar, and enter anywhere he pleases and carries off what ever suits his fancy. In the past week over fifty house have been entered, and money, jewel and good stolen, to the nmoutit of many thousands of dollars. There is no clew to the thief, except that he is a small man, with a musical laugh. At first it was thought thatanorgnniied bund was at work, but the methods pur sued in entering a bouse are t he same, and, besides, the mvsterious visitant has s peculiar cipher mark, which he mark on the wall or floor. The other night a minister was nroused hy noise at his window, and asking who was there, was told that "It is me." He threatened to call a neighbor across the street, and the robber volunteered to help him, which he did in a ringing voter. and then with a merrv, rippling laugh, ran safely sway. Monday night the bank was entered nnd some postage siampsnccured Rewardsof SSOOnrecnn spicuously displayed in store windows, but the onlv success l hey have had hi.s been a communication pasted on the bot tom of one of them, containing these word: "First cnteh your hare. Dick Turpin, jr." The local officers are at fault and have luid several traps for tor misciesnt, but lie break through nil of them. It is tiioinint proimiiie that a professional thief-catcher will be sent for and put on the case. TO st AVE MIH LIFE. V. a. Brook Palla Hla Arm Front the bnckel. Lvnchpi'RO. March 1. U. 8. Brooks, employed in the bnrvlcs mill below the city, met with a terrible accident this mornina. While sittingon what is known ss a conveyer, which is a large trough in which works a "worm operating on the principle of a screw, his coat was caught in the machinery and he was drawn into the aperture, which, how ever, was. too small to allow the body to enter, and one arm was caught and torn to shreds. W it h a great etlort he braced himself asrsinst the bos snd snve a heroic wrench, which actually tore the limb from his body, leaving only the fragments of flesh banging from the arm -socket. A bystander states after the arm was severed Brooks stooped down and picked the lacerated limb up. nnd gating intently st it for several seconds threw it over in s corner. When medical assistance ar rived very little smpuiatinn was neces sary. The doctors say Brooks is the most nervy man tnnt ever come unner their notice, and he bears up under the terrible ordeal with marvellous fortitude. Brooks was a Confederate soldier, and was known as n man of reckless bravery. He is buy years 01 sgr. Report Irons Ibo Flood. LonsviLLR, Ky., March 1.

He first struck Baren with the weapon then shot him in the wrist and right breast, inflicting uglv and possibly fatal wountls. There was a wild scene on the train.

An Inlereallna Sketch of What It Is and What It Propose to be. Franklin, N. C, February 25. Editor Citizen : Should my letters be of sufficient merit for publication. I pro pose from time to time to write yon of the condition ot our country, progress, etc. To those unncqaintcd with this lo cality, a slight description may be nec essary, franklin, our county site, has a fine situation. Enthroned on the hills above the Tennessee river, which is hall a mile Irom the court house, she over looks a picture of no little beauty. Hills and mountains rise on everv hand here regular, auietlv swcllniiz until the farth cat point is Inst in the summit ol some mountain peak there irregular, scat tered in wild contusion, as if tossed up in some mad war ot giants, from hill and mountain even nt the top gush out springs of clear cold water, thus render ing mountain and hillside admirable pas ture lands for six months in the vear. Rut while the scenery is beautiful, tha which is hidden in the bosom of hill anil mountain i bv no means of small value. al has been proven by work done in mica, corundum and asbestos, und by specimens of iron, mnnuanese, copper. ilvcr. gold and gems found. Between the hills or ridges are valleys vnrynit in width from a few rod to more than half a mile, which are highly adapted ti the growth of vcgrinble. Irtiits. grasses and all the grains, as well as tobacco Mm hot the laud i' vet 111 forest, will much valuable timlier. The character o, our people is quite generally known: they arc intelligent, solier, honest, hos pitable and industrious. With all tins advantages, one wonder that we bav so long remained laggard in the on war. march ol progress Various reason! may be assigned for this. The people are very conservative, tin willing to take up new met burls - thought and net inn, anil there has bcci no influx ol new population to set mi ex ample, and inforce it by active compcti tion. The population is sparse, in thi lurir- county there are only about 1.300 lam ilie. Men hold more laud than thev c.n boltl profitably, and. as in most ol thi part ol the State the systim ol labor ha- ecu very poor. Add to all this tbe no sence ol railroad facilities, no market open for produce raised, and we have 1. cnnibinnliou sufficient to convert an eu ergctic man into a sluggard. The won der is that our people retnin their present vilnmy. I Here is now evidently an up ward tendency. Men liuvcbevome owns of the want of w isdom in holding land that pays them nothing, and at the s.tini time In holding it thev are keeping out those who would assist in developine our resources, 11 nd thttsenrieh the county. Were one to inquire lure now. he would suppose that every one wishes to sell his land. 1 lie tact is almost every one nns a surplu to sell. Some wishing to put the money in busiress, some to improve what he retains, and a lew tor the saki of moving to other places to join rela tives already there. Along wild tins there seems to be a general desire anil de termination to have railroad facilities. The past effortsin thisdim-tion have been unfortunate. "The Kabun Gap abort line" chartered some sixteen years ago, given fair promise, but it seems that tin charter found ii way into hands adverse to the rond and nothing has Iwcn done. Then again we supposed th tt we should secure the benefit of the Western North Carolina railroad which would pass through Webster and Franklin, nntl turn down the river, again we were disap pointed. A lew years ago the Ashevlle and Charleston roatl promised us great things and speedily, with the same resu't, and still others.' All failed to tlo us any good. Seemingly they were but mere tricks to play upon our credulity. The people now see this nnd arc alive to the tact that if we arc to have a railroad we our selves must take the initiative. It is the oltl fable of the farmer who dccndcd UH)ti his kin folks and neighbors to do w hat he should have done himself. So we are brought to the Hiint where ac tion is a necessity, and wc understand it. Meetings were held in January and Feli runry, and I suppose will lie held monthly until something is done. The county will, I think, vote an appropriation of $75,000 tn $100.1)00. Two gentlemen have offered to give privately $30,000. Others will give smaller sums, so I suh ptise we can raise trnm $150,000 to $200,000 lor any company undertaking the road for us. Wc nre now correMind ing with some capitalists and hoe lor favorable results. If all else- fails we pro- imisc to build a narrow untigc mini from Taltibih hills bv Franklin to Svlva Dills- born, or N.intahal.i. This "ill pl.icv u in touch with the busy world, bring our lauds, limliri and mineral into ami ket, nnd enable us to take our place 111 the onward march. Yours, u. Vandalism. In fiullford Charlotte.
