Dr. Frost is about to visit Virginia,
and will reside there for a time.
Colonel Evans has rented Dr. Frost's
house.
We understand that Mr. Stewart, Sr.,
of Webster, contemplates moving on to
his place near Highlands, very soon.
Our readers are reminded that the ded
ication of the Presbyterian church takes
place Sunday after next.
Now that it will soon be time to put
up stoves, every Doay snouia see tJiat
their stove pipe3 and flues are thoroughly
cleaned.
The price of the Blue Ridge Baptist
has been raised from $1 to $ 1.50 It is a
good paper, and worth the increased
price. The Highlander, however, will
be kept along at one dollar.
The event chronicled in another col
umn of Th8 Highlander, in which the
editor was an interested party, must be
our excuse for the delay in the appear
ance of this number.
Hatton Turnor, Esq., and Mrs. Turnor,
of Lincolnshire, England, are travelling
in the South in their own conveyance,
and have beeu stopping at Mayor Hill's
for a few days. They left for Franklin
to-day, a'nd intend to winter in Florida.
Another wolf hunt took place over at
Whiteside on Thursday last. The hunt
ers, however, failed to get sight of the
"varmints," though the dogs fought with
them in the laurel thickets. Mr. Ma
guire's dogs were badly bitten.
A number of inland revenue officers
came into Highlands on Sunday last, and
on Monday niorning took Ben Webb to
Franklin on some charge of dealing with
whiskey in an unlawful manner, concern
ing which there are contradictory re
ports. Webb has since returned home,
having been bound over in the sum of
$200 to appear at the Fall term of court.
J. S. Tomlinson announces that he will
begin at an early day at Asheville the
publication of a twenty-four page paper
called Country Homes, which Will be
devoted to the Agricultural and indus
trial pursuits of North Carolina, the De-
Aelopment of the Resources of the State,
and to all interests that tend to make
home happy and prosperous.
The Asheville Citizen, in enumerating
the number of Westell North Carolina
resorts that are doing well and which
give token of what is to come in the" fu
ture when the West is better known, well
remarks : "And it may be added when
it is better prepared to accommodate tis
itors. The fact cannot be too forcibly re
peated that the requirements of the times
are riot yet riiet.
The Lenoir Topic reports an' earth
quake which lately occUrred around
Grandfather mountain and along the
backbone of the Blue Ridge. Hoilses
shook and dishes rattled, and people were"
very much frightened. A huge' rdfck ov
erhanging a pfecipice rdckedj and the
leaves of the trees vfete violently agitated,
though there was not a breath of air stir
ling. tlie Swnririanda Hotel at Asheville fur
nishes guests -svith beefsteaks brought
from New York. &d says the Citizen.
There serins to be a great scarcity of
good beef and butter at Asheville, on
which fstate of things the Citizen makes
the following sduild reflections : "fins
state df affairs is a grave reflec
tion updn the industry and intelligence
of the people1. Industry rdight find a field
in which jt . would ( always be reWilrded ;
and iritellige'rice would look far .beyond
home for a return for its. exercise. , Beef
iind butter are v.iiat all wantj . and all
need, for which good prices will always
I'lieeifully be paidj ,Now we .pay tery
reluctantly very high prunes for very baa
leef, and w pay no prices at all fdr but
ler, because it is scarcely tp b6 had at any
jnee. .. vyna. this is a .reuection upon a
nounfeUli a pastera! ceimtiy."
