PEACOCK'S "".RICH FIND. Discovers Valuable North Caro llnlana in Rockingham County, AN UNPUBLISHED MANUSCRIPT. New Light Thrown on the Lives of nen Who Played Important Part in the.-History oKJuilford. In the course of work at Greensboro Female College one of the graduating young ladies was assigned the life and work of Rev. Eli W. Caruthers for a thesis. For years and' years Caruth ers was a preaeher in this county and was intimately associated with the men who made its early history and made no small part of it himself. As there was not sufficient material at hand for the thesis required Dr. Peacock undertook to gather addition al data and drove for that purpose over into Rockingham county to see the widow of Caruthers' brother, Mrs. John Caruthers. After much patient inquiry by Dr. Peacock, Mrs. Caruth ers admitted that certain manuscripts had been left by Dr. Caruthers and were in her possession. She brought out bundles of sermons carefully wrap ped up, about three hundred in all, which had been d.liverod at various ti.uos by Dr. Caruthers. They v. ere all carefully written out in that pecu liar old style hand that we associate with goose quill pens. Among the sermons, it is curious to note, were funeral sermons delivered on the death of Dr. David Caldwell, D. D. in 1824, John Albright in 1821, Dr. Allison in 1826, Mhs lone Wiley in 1859, Mrs. Nancy Kirkman in 1849, Mrs. Thankful Doak in 1849, Mrs. Eli zabeth Gillespie, Mrs. Margaret Blair inlh21, Mr. Wahl's daughter 1S44, Mrs. Hannah Paisley (date nofgiven) and Rev. Jobo Paisley in 1845. The kinspeople of nearly all these are still citizens of this county. Dr. Peacock also discovered that from 1861 to '65 Dr. Caruthers was en gaged in writing a book on slavery. He was an ardent abolitionist and one Snndav morninsr in '61 in his church at Alamance the venerable old man prayed that the young men of his con gregation who were at the front "might be blessed of the Lord and returned in safety though engaged in a bad cause." The next morning he was informed by the church which he had served for nearly 50 years that his services were no longer needed. Hence he devoted his time from '61 to '65 in writing-in a clear, legible hand and no less clear style a book bearing the title: American Slavery and The Immediate Duty of Southern Slave-Holders. Every passage in the Holy Bible bearing on slavery is cited, ine manuscript would make a book larger than his life of Caldwell and why it was not published is unknown.Dr. Caruthers died on the 14th of .November, 1000, having lived just long enough to see the war end as he had predicted. Among the things found by Dr. Pea cock were five autographic sermons by Dr. McCorkle delivered from 1786 to 1790, and therefore over 100 years old. Dr. McCorkle was prepared for col lege by Dr. Caldwell and took his de gree from Princeton (then Nassau Hall) in 1772.

A Washington, Ga., sportsman made the most remarkable shot on record .while out partridge shooting the other day. He raised his gun to shoot at a bird, but the weapon was prematurely discharged.
