NO BLOW OR BLUSTER BUT JUST A FEW POINTERS. Durham Sun Many have long been dissatisfied with the cold and stormy climate of the North. Printers' ink has been used of late years, to great advantage, in advertising the charms and attrac tions of our lovely Southland, and, as a result, thoasands are leaving the rigorous regions of the North, to find homes under the genial skies of the South. Never since the stars and stripes first waved in triumph over "the land of the free and home of the brave," has there been such a tide of immigration Southward. Farmers are coniing to cultivate the sail, miners to dig from the earth the wealth it yields, manufacturers for sites, capitalist for profitable in vestments, pleasure seekers to revel under bright skies and eniov the bountiful blessings d une nature ha bestowed, and the sick and worn ou under the chilling Northern blizzards. to gain health and strength. a v m Uur skies are bright ami suunjr. our climate is as healthy as can be found on the globe, our transport tion facilities, by rail, excellent, our land cheap and easily improved, our manufacturing advantages nnsur pissed, and our people proverbial for hospitality. Come and look over the field, and we ure sure you will decide to cast year lot with us People are constantly coming here, and we feel confident our population will soon be augmented by many from other States, attracted by our superior advantages. .. CROPS DAMAGED. fSThe frost and ice in North Carolina have done much damage to regetablea. fruit and the crops. Cotton is serious ly injured, and, in fact a great deal is destroyed. The truckers and others feel the loss in the damage to vegetab les, while grapes amd strawberries are Tory seriously hurt. Last year there were no peaches scarcely in the State, and other fruit was cut off one-haif or more. Ex. AN OLD TWELVE. At South Mills, in Camden county, there are twelve white men, the com bined ages of whom aggregate 1,000 years. The oldest of these worthy old gentlemen is 06 years, and the youngest on ine use u. four are over 83 and two have passed their 90th hirt.h ia. All are to-day enjoying splendid health and supporting families by farming. The population of South Mills is scarce ly 250, and it is doubtful if there is another village in the entire Union of its size in which lives so many who nave passed tneir tnree-score and ten. Now is the time to rise early and take a spirited morning wait before breakfast. The EDENTON, m BREACH WIDENS, GREAT INDIGNATION CAUSED BY CON SUL CORTE S STATEMENTS. New Orleans, May 9. Mr Corte, the Italian consul in this city, on the7ih inst., addressad a communi cation to W. H. Chaffee, foreman of the grand jnry, charging among ether things: 4That an extra ju dicial bdy appointed by the mayor from the beginning premeditated the killing of the prisoners." etc. This statement has greatly offended the mayor, as the body refered to is none other than th famous commit tee of fifty appointed immediately after the killing of Cuicf Hennes-sy le investigating it, and hrin-z the guilty dirties to iuatice.

Kash. a prisoner. was placed guard over the other prisoners. Tobe Muthias, under sentence of death, was one f the prisoners. After the fire .was extinguished aad the excite ment abated, Rash returned safely all the prisoners that had been entrusted to his care, and together with them was locked in jail. Iamb and the Burglar. Lamb was awakened eany one Christ mas morning by a noise in his kitchen, and on going down to that apartment found a burglar doing his spoons up in a bundle. "Why d-do you s-s-st-t-teal?" he asked. "Because I am starving," returned the housebreaker sullenly. Are y-you re-rf-ally ver-very h-h- hung-hung-gug - gory - hungry ? w asked Lamb. "Very, " replied the burglar, turning away. " Pup-pup-poor fuf-fuf-fellow!" said the essayist, "h-h- re's a 1-1-1 3g of L-L- Lamb for y-you. " And so saying, with a dexterous movement of his riht leg he ejected tle marauder into the street, and lock- ing the door securely, went back to j bed. The fcnrMar confessed afterward that he didnt see the joko for six !l weeks. Harper's Magazine. i Smallest Hair Throws a Shad our' N.
