A tew days ago an Observer sub scriber was talking to the reporter about tbe proposed fruit and flower fair next summer, wbiob be highly oommended, and he incidentally re lated a characteristic anecdote of tbe late Col. Charles Lutterlob, wbo, more than fifty years ago, carried on an ex tensive fl wer nnrsery on west Rowan street near where tbe (esidenoe of Capt. I. W. Clark now stands. Col. Lutterlob was very nrbane and oourteoci in bearing, was devoted to bis vocation, and was tbe pioner here of landscape gardening on a large scale, whose work endures to this day in tbe spaoious lawns and gardens wbiob bave been expanding for two or ibree generations on paymount and other parts of the eity. Col. Lutterlob bad an almost morbid atred of sharp angles and abrupt corners; and, wben looking orer grounds for ornamentation, bis favorite expression wat: "Ah, there's a fiue place for a graoefnl curve ! " He onoe bad a contract to plant in tree and fbwer (he front yard of a Fayetteville oitizen, and one mornicg after breakfast be oame with bis force ot men, and in an hour or two had bis ground staked out and planned in one harmonious wbole. Tbe man of the house came home to dinner, looked tbe work over, and shook bis head. "I don't like that," be said. "I want a large square bed on that side, and an other of just tbe same size and shape on tbat side, and two small square beds op here, and over there." Tbe fhrist attempted to argue against tbis batbarity, and tbe discos sion became animated. At last Col. Lutterloh said, with some heat 1 "If you propose to butcher this beautiful plat with work tbat looks like the foun dations ot a big barn, a big stable, and WO little nig styes, you must get some body else to follow out your ideas. I care more (or my art than I do for this ob." And he departed, with bis men, their tools, measuring rods, lines, etc. IAILBOAD WMCX II&B WaKIIOTOW.

Tbe collision resulted 10 tbe com plete destruction ot tbe Seaboard en gine and le partial wrecking of the CoaBt Line engine. Two flit oars of tbe Seaboard train and one or two box oars were badly torn up. Except for the engine, the A. C. L train escaped damage. Nobody was killed, but tbe crews of the two engines saved, tbeir lives by jumping. After the wreck tbe ioaomo- nves and several ears were a complete mass ot wreckage, Oae ot tbe flit oars was doubled back and perfeotly folded. The lighter Seaboard engine mounted almost on top of tbe toast Line engine. Tbe track was blocked for several hours, and it was late iu the morning before tje passenger train for Fay etteville, whieh was due to leave Wil mington at 9 '4v o'clock, could pass the wreck- Tbe wrecking train was soon on the soaue after tbe accident.
