They arrived here day be fore yesterday from Chester and have remained quietly t;at Lome." The youug pe pie do not belie their ages in appearances, and Airs. Robinsou is actually the youngest looking bride the reporter has everseen. Their ages are 10 and 14 and they appear to be li;rftv!.!y contented and happy. The husband does not appear to be in any hurry to vcturn to Lincolntonand siys lie will remain about two months in Charlotte. About a year ago they planned an elopement and were about to put it into execution, but were foiled by' their watchful parents. The iily objection their parents had to tl.e match was tLe extreme voutbfal- ii oss of the couple. Charlotte Obar. arrrer. CuIIof Priuiarj- Convention. HorsE of Bishops, Philadelphia, October 23d, 1833. To the Clergy and Laity within - the limits of the new Diocese in North Carolina: Dear Bkettirkx: The davision of tne Diocese of Xorth Carolina having been ratified by the approval of both Houses of the General convention it now becomes my duty, agreeably with the provis ions of Canon C, section 1, title 111, 10 summon the primary convention f the new Diocese.

Lyjiax, Bisliop of North Carolina. the cypress swamps, all are new to him and he begins to realize some thing of the vastuess of his Slate whose forests contain eyery manner of tree from the ha.dy mountain spruce to the palmetto of the tropics The train pauses at YVeldou.a busy railroad centre, where the passengers dine, and then sweeps on over the great bridge across the Roanoke. At t rankhn, V a., just across the Slate. Hue a large party of school girls bound for Murphvsboro leavo our train to take the steamer on B'ack water Creek, a deep, sluggish srcam that winds away southward. IIow beautiful they .are, these Southern girls, just budding iuto womanhood. IIow but we are forgetting ourselv es. Just beyond Suifolk, Va., the conductor informs us that wo are pas sing through the great "DLmal Swamp," antl look out to see the "tangled j irnipr. bed.- of reeds. And many a fen where the .eruent facd-i."' that we have he.ird oi since child hood, but have never seen before. It is a desolate region, yet beautiful in lls desolation. Now and then, on the top of some gentle knoll, far out in the swamp, lb train flashes by a negro cabin surrounded bv a small cornfield or pot:. to patch, beyond which tho unbroken forests of cypress and live oak stivtch away toward lake Doummond. Portsmouth is reached at 5 o'clock p. ni., and by the time we are ferried over the river and safely stowed awav in our steamer at the Norfolk pier night is falling ovtr the twin cities, and as we steam away out of the har bor myriads of lights flash out over the M ater, growing fainter and more indistinct as the splendid steamer, "J. H. Miller" bears as ont on the ocean, bouud for Boston harbor 5-40 miles away. It is one of the finest ocean steamers of the Merchants and Miners. Line, and will float with 2500 tons of freight. The lime from Nor folk to Boston is 48 hours, the weath er is perfect, and trip is without in Wolves and Wolf (Scalps. A paragraph in the Greensboro Patriot corrects a statement made by Mr. Watterson that no state in the South offers a reward for wolf scalps. The Patriot's correspondent is entire ly correct. Bewards are not onlv of fered, but paid in all these western eounties. Wolves are sufficiently nu merous in Buncombe among the Black Mountains and in the Craggy range to be a serious pest. They abound in in some parts of Mitchel, Yanuy and Madison; and on both flanks of the Ba learn, in Jnckion aDd Haywood and al o in Transylvania. They are sufficiently numerous to make theep fcu.suantfry in some parts more than pi ohleniatical. Sometimes when they 1-ecome too troublesome, they are poisoned with strychnine; sometimes their deus are huntod up, aud the c:.b3 killed, but they are rarely hun ted down as game. Among the claims allowed by the Bi.aid oi Commissioners of Buncombe during the fiscal year, we find the fol lowing payment for wolf scalps: De cmlK.r, 1882, F. Dillingham $15; March, 1S83. J. A. Henseley $15; J.ily,do. ??:?0; Augnst, do !45.-,.lshe-ville Citizen. bv, December l2tat at 10 o'clock a. m., for the purpose of organizin? the cident except slight sea sickness and other little pleasant and novel expe riences. One day we are out of sigh of land, but the next morning we awake to find ourselves near the coast of Martha's Vineyard, a pretty island with wooded hills and innumerable summer resorts scattered along the seashore: Here we encounter fleets of lumber schooners from Maine and Canada, bound for New York. At 2 o'clock we double Cape Cod, the scene of many a murine disaster, and sail up Massachusetts Bay toward the entraco to that mauificieut bar- j bor that tradition says was discovered ! eight huudred years ago by Lief, a Danish pirate and his savage follow ers, only to be forgotten till lediscov- ered by Bartholomew Gosuold six hundred years later. Just before entering the harbor we pass JVIarsh field, fame us as the home of Daniel Webster. Then the steam er glides by the great light houses that light up the cntrace and into the harbor just as daylight is fading aud thousands of electric lights are begin ing to flash out over the counties ships that have come from every quar ter of the globe to the great New England metropolis. Of Boston'9 Revolutionary history it is ueedless x speak. Every south ern school child knows all about the throwing overboard of the tea in Boston harbor, of the famous "Ride of Paul Uevore" and of Bunker Hill and its battle. The Boston of that day, a inere village, has grown to be a great city of mere thtn four huu dred thousand inhabitants, with mag- ninceut churches, halls and theatres, trOu Zkk Aijais: -Our: friends have doubtless heard ; Zeb Vance's j.k'- about tho Jew who. when acus toiler complained of the unpleasant- or of a coat he was trying on, re. p.ied: coat v:t sthnik, dot ish me." This i ml nds us that the best place in town to get a fashionable suit of clothes, a stylish hat or a "nobby" pair of shows i at our store, whero we have just icreived a beautiful line of fall and wiuur goods. Give us a call. R. B. Bkittaix & Co. f Carolina will rpir-ttbuntforirirar i i vest from her investment m that quar ter. Iu a seperate building in the same quarter of the city is the Foreign Ex position, where nearly very country on the globe is represented, and here we spent an entire evening very pleasantly, looking through the curi ous exhibit of the foieign nations value from the $4000 chamber set from England and the 1,200 pair of vases from China to the cigar holder and ueedle cases in the Turkish department that arc sold for a quarter of a dollar and which the TurKish gentleman, in his broken English, informs vou a-ere all made in "Yerusalem." In the art depart ment of the Foreign Exposition we were permitted to gaze upon the pain tings and sculpture of soma of the 4old masters," to look upon the tapes tries from the storied castles of old Euglaud, aud to peep into ancient sarcophagi more than 2000 years old- Nol the least interesting part of the exposition is the foreigners them selves, many of whomdike the China mau in the China Avare department 'donee spleak Melican," but are very quick to how yon the price of any article you may wish to buy, and know the exacst value of every "Meli- canv coin you may offer in pay niont. Going to Boston as a member of the North Carolina Press Asssociation we received many attentions from the city, renowucd above all American cities for its Jiospitality, and from the members of the Boston Press Oiab. who contributed greatly to the en joyment of our visit. As guests of the city we visited the great reforma tory school on Deer Island where 1300 inmates of all ages aud sexes are being taught how to live better lives at the expense of the city.' The buys and girls are given good educa tions, and are provided with situations when they grow up, and the men and woineu are instructed in usefel trades. Before leaving this place we were I gueua ueugiiMui surprise m the s-hape of a concert by thei boys and girls of the institution followed by an elegant luncheon in one of the dining rooms. One f the most pleasant avenings that we spent i:i Boston was taken up in driving through the suburban towns of Brookliue, Somerville, Cam bridge and Charlestown. In Brook liue we saw the great reservoirs that t r -. supp.y lioston with water, covering more than 12 acres of ground, Cain bridge, which is itself a city of 60,000 inhabitants, is peculiarly interesting. It is a beautiful city with broad streets shaded with elms and tasteful residences i'i the midst of ample yards filled with trees and flowers. Har vard University America's greatest institution of learning is located in Cambridge, and with its scores of large buildings its halls aud chapels and dorimtiv?, is a small city within itself. The finest of th TTnivoreitv w m v a ,J buildings is Memorial Hall,erected by the studeut ia memory of the sons of Harvard who fell iu the late war, at a cot of 2000,000. Near the Univer sity grounds is the home of the poet Longfellow, a large and comfortable looking structure surrounded by am pie grounds where he lived while a professor in the University and where he wrote many of his most beautiful poems. Near by is the bridge over the river between Cambridge and Boston where it is probable that he saw. j "at midnight, when the clucks wre striking the hour Tho moon rise over the city, bebina the dark church tower" and was inspired to write "The Bridge," which has been set to music and sung from Maine to Mexico. At Charleston we climbed Bunker Hill and saw the sunset from that point ami then returned to the hotel, the pleasnre of th drive having been greatly augmented by our companion, Mr, layloi, of the Boston Globe, wnoin wc lound to be a genial aud in .We Lave been receiving on nearly every freight tra'n for the Jast six weeks quantities of all kinds of staple and fancy goods.
