THESE WERE COLD DATS,
RhsNi 1st Keply to Mr. S T Oowell
With tb Anilior'a Nnspictoas.
Mr. Editor : Replying to Mr.
O T Crowell's inquiry as to the
coldest day, the day when he
halted at Mr. Jacob Moose's
home to warm he does not say
with what; bnt we guess a liquid
that sparkled with age and roped
when poared oat of a jug so as to
make one reluctant to bite off, a
thing that this age of adulteration
knows nothiuit of we submit the
following record made tlieD, which
ooroborates his statement as to the
degrees of coldness. This is the
record : Wednesday December
29, 1880, snow fell to the depth
of 8 inches. Thursday morning
December 30, 1880, the ther
mometer stood as follows : at 8
o'clock a. m., 21 degrees below
zero; at 9 55 a. m. at zero; at 1 30
p. m. 30 abore. Next day,
Friday, Deoomber 31, 1880, the
thermometer stood at 8 a. m. 14
-legrees below; at 9.30 at zero.
My record shows the following
other cold days, iz: December
114, 1876, snow fell to the depth of
11 inches; January 1, 1877, snow
fall to tbe depth of 4 inches.
Wednesday morning January 3,
1877, the thermometer stood at
7 o'clock a. m. 4 de re s below.
Friday December 29, 1882, snow
fell to the depth of 8 1-2 inches.
January 12, 1886 the thermouiet r
fctood at zero.
It is but just to say that when
my thermometer rusted against
the walls of the house, it reached
only 14 de rees below z ro like
most thermometers then, but
when hun out clear from tonob
ing any thing the mercury ran
down to 21 degret s below zero
on December 30, 1880.

A WET TIME.
Houses. I.enklnir Jladly Nome OaodM
la Nlorrft Damaged Tbe Larc
ripe al reiser's Task Bursts.:
Thursday morning was a sur
prise moraine to scores of our
people. Many roofs proved insnf-
ficient to keep out the fine snow,
and by the rieing of of the tem
perature made it a wet time for a
number of business houses, be
sides the leaking of a large num
ber of dwelling houses.
Besides Bell, Harris & Co.'s
damages other buildings come in
for their share of leakage.
Quite an amount of Miss Mary
Brachen's spring millinery goods
are badly damaged. When she
opened her store an inch or
two of water stood on part of her
floor, having soaked some of her
goods that were packed away in
pasteboard boxes. . Her loss is at
least $300 . and very probably
more.
Tbe New South Ulub room is
badly damaged. Tbe plastering
overhead is ruined besides the
saturating of the carpet in the
one room. The Phifer hall ad
joining is wet considerably, it
having dripped through into
Dayvault's store slightly.
Cook's photograph gallery is
badly damaged, hia negatives and
prints being ruined. The Morris
building leaked considerably in
several plaoes.
The Times office contained an
inch or two of water un its floor,
damaging things somewhat.
The roar of Swink & White's
store leaked quite much, c'a i a j
ing their stock somewhat.
Besides all this, and after the
people had realized the state of
affairs, the large pipe from Mr.
Fetzer's tank on top of the rear
of the drug store burst, flooding
the back lot considerably and
putting several leches of
water in the basement of the
drug store.
Dr. Marsh,ODQ of our druggists,
also has trouble. A number of
bottles of shoe polish froze then
burst, ruining some of his stock.

Prof. H Miller will at an
early day install a clock in Mont
Amocena Seminary only
little less wonderful than
the great clock at Strasburg, but
probably more applicable to mod
em uses.
Besides the ordinary time
keeping this clock will operate a
system of electric call bells by
which, with a system ot wires
connecting, he can have the girls
called from any room to fill one
or any number of programs as the
different departments of school
demand.
Having once determined the
school programs for the depart
ments and set the machinery it
will announce by a ring of tbe
bell at the same instant tor all
the rooms in eaoh department and,
without any confua on, will
announce the program differently
in other rooms as the depart
ment to which the girls belong
demands. At tbe closing hour it
ceases to call but takes up its task
next morning again. So, on Fri
day evening it knocks off till Mod
day morning.
It will hns automatically carry
on the calls for the session or ses
sions till there is a change
manii nrated, with nothing to do
but wind the dock onoe a week.
There is but one thing that it
refuses to do it seems. It will
dot have the time divided into
smaller poriode than five minutes.
The minutes of time must be
divisible by five.
This modern wonder is called
Fricks utomatic program clock.
Dr. Milleris to be congratulated
on being among the firat to secure
this very progressive iquipmont.

BADLY DAMAGED.
Tbe Fnrallnre Stack of Bell, Harris
A Co., Welted By a Deficient Roof
The Damage Can Sot Be Estlmnled,
Without seeing one can hardly
estimate the damage that Messrs
Bell, Harris & Co., furniture deal
era, have sustain d by the rain
and freeze Wednesday night.
The greater portion of the
upper story of the building is wet.
The furniture both upstairs and
downstairs is wet from continual
dripping during tbe night.
The ordinary wood furniture is
of course damaged besides the
uphoktered work. Boyeral of
their fine conches aie saturated
with water.
When Mr. Bell opened the
store several inches ot water were
on the floor at the front door, it
haying run out under the door.
The cause is, of course, the
deficient roofing, together with
the rain and freeze of that night.
Scaicely any snow was found on
the roof, a large amount of it
having melted Wednesday.
As for tbe dama.e done tbe
stock, this can not be told. The
furniture will all have to be rub
bed considerably. As for the
upholstered work this can not be
remedied.
One of the firm, when asked
what he thought the loss would
be, said "that he would not have
had it to happen for $1,500 cash."

guisning quality, xou were
always trying t do something
for him. I reversed the order
and delighted him by having
him do things for me. I made
him realize how much he could
be to me, and delighted him
by my gratitude for the advice
I was constantly getting about
my affairs. To use the atro

The Greensboro Telegram says
that a Charlotte gentleman who
was in the city said he sat by bis
window in bis residence Sunday
and watched people carry off hie
wood, of which he had about twenty
oords. At least half that amount
was taken off, he says, and he sat
in eilence and enjoyed it unknown
to those who were "sponging" on
him. One of the takers, as he started
off with all he could carry, glanced
at the window and saw tbe
owner. Immediately he dropped
the wood and was about to depart
when the gentleman raised the
window and told him to help him
self. And the lick almost killed

BlaJ. J. w. Wilson Exonerated.
Raleigh, Feb. II The special
committee appointed early in the
session of the North Carolina Legii
lature to investigate Governor
RufsoH's suspension of J W Wilson
and S Otho Wilson, railroad com
missioners, from their office, met
tonight and decided that tbe evi
dence before the Governor did not
warrant the suspension of Major J
W Wilson. The case of S Otho
Wilson is still under consideration,
Major Wilson will hardly be ex
pected to resume his duties on tbe
railroad commission, as it is the in
tention of the General Assembly to
abolish tbe statute creating the
railroad commission and re-create
it, with partially new powers and
duties, and Major Wilson's term ex
pires with this session of the Legist
lature.

misuion act wuiun governs in canes
like that of Major Wilson dclares
that in any case of suspension the
Governor shall fill the vacancy, and
if the General Assembly shall de
termine that the commiwioner sus
pended shall be removed, then the
appointee of the Governor shall
hold office until hia successor is
elected and nualiiied, bin if be
General Assembly shp.ll detn"H'ne
that the suspended oo:im:: wntr
shall not be removed fro a h.'s oilice,
then the effect shall be to reinstate
him in the office.
The prpctioal effect of the report
of the committee, if adopted, as it
doubtless will be, by the Legisla
ture, will be to enable Major J V
Wilson to draw his salary from the
date of bis suspension up to the
present.
Another NeaKttil raptured.
Only a few days after Mr. Mon
roe Ritchie shot a seagull the other
week, Mr. Henry Vanderburg, of
Cannon ville, captured one. Mr.
Vandeiburg only crippled his
enough to catch it, and was trying
to save its life, but it died from its
wounds. He had intended to
The Duel IIetween.Hr. Nliott anv r.
Holt.
A duel sras lately fought in
Texas by Hiram Shott and
John SNott. Nott was shot
and Shott was not. Id this
case it was better to be SL; 't
than Nott. There was a runn r
that Nott was not shot ai i
Shott avows that he shot Nott,
which proves either that th
shot Shott shot at Nott, was
not shot, or that Nott was
shot notwithstanding. Cir
cumstantial evidence is g t
always good. It may be nun' e
to appear when the trial comes
off that the shot Shott shot,
shot Nott, or as accidents
with firearms are frequent, it
may be possible that the shot '
Shott shot shot Shott himself,
when the whole affair would
resolve itself into its original
elements and Shott would be
shot and Nott would be not.
We think, howeyer, that the
shot Shott shot, shot not Shott
but Nott. Anyway, it's hard
to tell who was shot and who
was not.
Judging from the number of
towns that are petitioning the
Legislature to establish dis
pensaries, the sentiment is
growing rapidly all over the
State. Daily Reflector.
