On that day and about' the time named, Mrs. Lashley waa engaged in putting a boiling pot upen the fire when her dress caught fire and but for the fact that she had on a thick woolen under shirt she would have been burned to a crisp. In her efforts to extinguish the flame she was burned terribly about the bemda and arras. Her finger nails were burnt off and the skin is now slough ing off her hands. Her three children, twoboys and a girl, the eldest about twelve years old, James, Dick and Alio, went to her rescue and used their bdsi en deavors to aare their mooter.

Frank Page, brother of Rev. Jesse H Page, formerly pastor of the Central M E Church, owns a rail road in Montgomery and Moore counties the "West End and Aber deen railroad," twenty five miles long. On the ICth day of October, 1890, a passenger train with many passes gers from the 8tate Fair at Raleigh, was Bearing Candor, a small town in Montgomery County. It had been raining and the wind having blown severely, the engineer was running only eight miles to the kmur. The glass of the cab was dimmed by rain drops to such an extent that the engineer could see scarcely twen ty yards ahead of him. Without a particle of warning, the engineer saw a log across the track h reversed the engine and bW brakes. The pilot of the en gine knocked the log from the track. Twenty feet from this waa axross tie, but not yet had the engineer suc ceeded in stopping the train. Fifty feet from this was a log cut wedged shape, with the point turn ed towards the coming train. The engineer believing that his end had come, still held on to his poet When the engine struck this last wedge it was pushed ten or 15 feet across the ties, but finally got under the pilot, which stopped the train without derailing the ears. The eBcae frem a fearful wreck is alsrost miraculous. SUSPICION POISTED o two young men, Jafl. Stutta and Giles Williamson, aged 25 and 21 respectively, one of thfem married. They were placed in jail. And the case was postponed from one court to another, by tfce defense. The cose came on for trial at Troy last week. The defense was repre sented by M S Robins, Brown and Blair and Col. Jordan. Solicitor 3g was assisted by Shaw and Scales. The young men were found guilty. Out of consideration of the facts that they had been in jail for 14 months aud were young men, Judge Armfield sentenced them to the penitentiary for 4 years each.

The whiskey lleenBe business in Charlotte is .about settled, so far as the County Commissioners are con oerned. It was expected that the battl would be revived this morn ing, bui it seems that after reflect. ing over the proceedings of the past week, the liquor men concluded th.it there is no use in further trying to find a hole in the armor under which the present board of commissioners are ensconed, and they withdrew from the field. It was a hopeless case from the start, for three of the five commissioners are set in their views not to grant license to any man who cannot prove a good moral character, and ae they hold that any man who expresses a desire to sell whiskey cannot have a good moral character, it is theirs to say to him nay, no matter who he may be. This fact final ty dawned upon the liquor men, and they gave up the fight. Charlotte News. A Snanrt Beg-. Mr. F. Mimnaugb, the popular Patton avenue merchant, owns very smart dog.

Boyd, little son of Robert Gourley, had just picked up a rock with some gold in it Mrs. Willie Gourley remarked that if she could find a piece worth a dollar she would pick no more cotton that day. She did not expect to find any thing of the sort ; but in less than ten steps from where she stood, in the row she was picking on, lay a rock, and she found it. The rock was be tween the size of a hen egg and a sledge hammer, but resembling neither. It had gold in it to the tune of somewhere near twenty dollars.

Esq II C Cook begins teaching a public school today (Monday) in Mecklenburg, with Robert Kluttz as assistant It is very plain that the Standard man will never again aspire for the emulous position of school master, else why should he go at them so red eyed ? He knows if he were a teacher, and was to brandish the war club over his scholars with such gloating rapacity, as one might infer he would do, from his recent article on "Flogging," that the parents would all be mad at him and the children all scared at him. We do not deny that the Standard is a hummer and all that sort of thing, bnt might it not be mistaken when it says a man who does not flog is a crank ? We have taught contin uously for eighteen years, and have never taught a term without having to whip some, but usually very little; yet it does not go to prove that every teacher must flog because another one did.' I wish to be un derstood when I say I do not believe in too free an exercise of the rod. A man may be compelled to resort to methods of correction in the school room that he does not like. Some children are whipped at home for the most trivial offences. That ia not instruction. If children are propei ly instructed, as a rule they need little threshing. Those chil dren who get a licking for every mistep, are invariably the meanest children ou earth; those that get along over the "thorny path" of childhood without knowing the stimulating sensation of the chas tening rod are good children usually good for nothing. There seems to be a happy medium for us to observe, then, in the exercise of a prerogative that should be held as one of the most sacred duties of parent and teacher not too much nor too little, but give it to them every time they need it.
