As we have remarked we dislike to call attention to our own modest worth, but circumstances sometimes require co$ cari penetrate. the laying aside of personal feeling, and that we should proclaim from the house top the notes of praise that come (from the post office) through the front door. " The following extracts from person al, letters, received during the past week give some idea of how the Pine Knot is working upon the minds of our ice bound Northern friends. , FROM A BOSTON LADY IN S. C. "We are gratified to hear that the little town (Southern Pines)is looking up and hope the peopl& there put a proper estimate upon the help which the Pine Knot is to the place. We think it has done and will do more than all the bther helps combined' . FROM NEW HAMPSHIRE. "My sister is boarding with me and by reading the Pine Knot has become ! qtiite enthusiastic about your locality. I have almost thought for the past few days that 10 and 20 below zero Was not the most desirable atmosphere in which to get a hasty breakfast and have had quite a Southern fever my-. self," FROM BROOKLYN, N. Y. "The Pine Knot's description of the weather was rather fine I must confess though it hasn't been very cold here."

The twelve mines and mill of this Company have just been examined by the eminent English mining engineer, Mr. Francis D. Taylor, 24 Merchants'. Exchange, Boston, whose report shows ! the property to be as represented. It I is the best in America for its capital I ization. f VARIATIONS OF TEMPERATURE IN A DRY CLIMATE. "To find a warm, dry climate, where civilized people can live and enjoy themselves, where hotels are good, is a problem not admitting of easy solution . Equability of temperature is not con sistent with low humidity. One ean- not have everything, and if dryness is essential, steady warmth - must be abandoned," , . The above is taken from an article by Dr. W. F, Hutchinson in the Amer ican Magazine and we commend it to those captious people who grumble because of the changes of temperature which they find here. We do not pre- logs would work loose. This was tint precise feature the patentee and in ventor had striven to secure. All went well until a position south and east of Nantucket was reached. Here a severe gale proved too much for.the two cables and connections with which it was towed. First, a fifteen inch steel hawser broke, and shortly after ward its companion pulled away ihe bits to which it had been, secured. The raft was now entirely disconnected from the steamer, and in five minutes was out of sicrht. This occured on December 17. The Miranda immedi ately steered west and reached her destination in safety. As great fears were entertained for incoming vesselsj which might be sunk by colliding with the raft, the navy steamer Enterprise and the revenue cutter Grant set out to find the raft and warn vessels of its possible prox imity. The Enterprise iWas successful in her quest, as she found the debris of the raft. It was completely broken up, and the logs were scattered over an immense area of water. Erery day will drift them farther apart. It is believed that there is now no dan ger to navigation to be apprehended. Scientific American. The berry of the China tree, which is so -plentiful in this vicinity, is a preventive of the destruction of the young cabbage plants and collards by the cut worm in the .spring. The method of using the berry is to insert one of them in the earth by the side of the plant, at the time of transplant ing. The cut worm, which is(such a pest to a vegetable garden, will not come near enough to the berry to reach the plant. This is the experience of one who has repeatedly tried it, Charlotte Democrat.
