Nearly every road reports a aree increase in the enquiries re ceived about the opportunities af forded by by the South, and there are many reports that the tide of mmigration is turning to the South in away that would acarco- y have been deemed possible a ew years ago. Thisgre.t move ment is commencing just at the right time, for, as shown by an article on "An Economic Change in Southern Farming," the agri cultural interests of the South are nearer on a cash basis than since he war. In this article it ;s shown how Southern farmers lae eradi ally changed from the system of raising all cottun on credit to and buying their tood- BttifTe to a cash basis and produc ing at home their coin and bacon, thus saving to the South the inill- oiis of dollars that have hereto fore annually gone West for food supplies for man and beast, lhe January issue of the Southern States continues the publication of letters liom Noithcrn and Western farmers who have settled in the South, giving their views, based ontheir own experiences, as to the advantages offered by the South for. farmers.

The peaceful little town of lIoxli.r was wild with excitement Stitid.iv morning. The jailer, Mr. Willis Ko)ter, accompanied by l'cte, a little negro boy about eight year old, went into the jail to feed the prisoners. Mr. Koystcr opened the door to hand in a broi,Ti fr the prisoners to sweep out the cell with and when ho unlocked the door the two prisoners, Lo gan Meadows and Jasper Robert son, rut-lied out and jumped on him, and after shoving or knock ing him down, choked him to death. They then told Reteifhe m.-de any fuss they would kill him, after which they locked him up with the body of the jailer and iuado their escape. About nine o'clock, some three-quarters of an hour afterwards, l'ete succeeded in making himself heard, and the news spread like wild-fire all over the town, and in a very few min utes more than 100 men, armed with shotguns, rifles and pistols, some on horseback, some in bug gies, and a large number on foot, started in pursuit of the ingitives and succeeded in capturing both about 1 o'clock. They had only gone about two and a half miles, but were completely broken down They were lodged in jail, and for several hoars loud threats of lynching were heard on all sides, a large crowd trom the country having gatheied in who seemed in the mood for such a frolic. At j o'clock at night the co.trt house bell was rung violently, but con trary to all expectations the pris oneis were not disturbed and it is hoped now that feeling has subsided. The eoionor's jury rendeied avcrdictot willful mur der aga'nst them both. Mr. Roys icr, the jailer, was a quiet, peace able old gentleman. His indul gence to the prisoners cost him him his life, as it was negligence on his part in opening the outer cell before seeing that the prison- en had gone into their cage and the door lockec as there is a pro vision made for doing all this from the outside before opening anv of the doors. ewy Gleau'aas.

Poinened IlrrKlackiDt- A London coroner the other day found that the death of a young girl was caused by poison from the dye in her stockings. The girl bruised her ankle, mak ing a small wound, but 6he thought nothing of it until next day, when the leg was found to be inflamed and sore. It got worse rapidly, and 6he was 6ent to the hospital, where, in a short time, 6he died from blood poison ing. The physician said that there was no doubt that the dye of the stocking poisoned the open wound in the leg. The stockings were of a dark-blue color, but what was the dye stuff is not stated.

Mr. Edward Shields went to Norfolk last week and brought home to Scotland Neck his wife, whom he led to the altar four years ago, from whom he has been "operated ever since the day after marriage. There is a bit of romance about the marriage which ciinie to light upon tho ar rival of the four-years ! ride. In far away Ireland Edward Shields and Kate Mahoney were school children together. When 6lm was about 12 years old he some years older, they came to this country, s!i with her parents and he alone. Kate Mahoney 's parents settled in Manchester, rscw Hampshire, with whom she lvcd all these years. Edward Shields lived at different times in the North and West and New England. Twice he returned to lis native Ireland and immedi ately after his last visit there he came to Scotland Neck, about 1S77, and began work as a harness-maker. Ai'terwards he also entered upon a general mercantile business, which he has continued until now. It is presumed that thee was correspondence all the while between Mr. Shields and Miss Mahoney, and four , years ago last fall they were married in Yonkers, New York, at the lome of the bride's aunt. Busi ness interests and the fact that Mrs. Shields was a devoted Catho- ic and there was no Catholic church here, kept them separated or all these four years. Mr. Shields has visited his wife in Manchester, N. IE, once since they were married. By appointment they met in Norfolk last week and Mr. Shields returned to Scotland Neck ac companied by his wife and her friend, Miss Kate Hedderman, who came all the way with Mrs. Shields from New Hampshire. Xol Atl M'llkM Men. This Time. Danville Register, 19th, Thomas N. Williams, special revenue agent, has made a rich haul, and several wagon loads of moonshine whiskey intended for other places now rest in the base ment of the Umted States custom house, J. R. Willborn, G. W. Marshall and J. R. Sparkes, of Wilkes county, N. C, and R. M. Myers, of Iredell county, are in the meshes of the law. These men reached the city a day or two since from the "Land of the sky," where moonshiners vege tate, and they brought eeveral wagon loads of the ardent, 6ome of which was in barrels that had stamps on them which had before been used, and some was in bar rels that were strangers to stamps, lhe men were negotia ting with Danville merchants who deal in the "crather," and had already sold several barrels and runlets. Special Agent Williams dropped on to the little business, and night before last went to work on the case. By yesterday morning he had captured a lot of the stuff and had the above named citizens of Wilkes and Iredell under arrest. The four men will have a hearing before the United States com missioner to-day. Vodej's Magazine.

Flo ence Hall in Feb.-ua y Oodey's. Society, which protects its members and makes it possible for them to dwell together in uni ty, is the oppressor of individual life. It exacts of every man and woman the performance of cer tain "social duties," which phrase taken in its larger sense, means everything which has for its ex pressed intention the good of others, even though the ulterior object be the individual's own pleasure or profit. Few persons are 60 lacking in policy as to con fess to being self-seekers ; every one is obliged to practice altru ism to a certain extent, whether he really feels an interest in the welfare of others, or only works because he cannot live without it. Society thus makes drafts upon us which we mu6t respond to, and in return it affords us the comforts and amenities of civilized life. Y'et there is an instinctive feel ing in tho heart of man that 60ci- etv is not friendly to the devel opment of those impulses and emotions upon which his happi ness as an inuividual depends. He is perpetually called upon to spend his energies, no suggestion is made that he should conserve them. And 60, looking about for some place in which to recuper ate his exhausted lorces, he con ceived the idea of erecting a little bulwark agafnst the outside world in which those matters personal to himself should be carried on privately and in quiet. This is the origin of the Home. It was, first of all, a refuge, a de fense against hostile powers, whether they came as armed foes to assail life and property, or as thievish guests to carry off what was dearer still, wife and chil dren. Protection against the el ements, and against the rapacity of his kind, is an instinctive pre cfuioj man exec6es ia his low est condition. When he can only think of things as valuable, he guards things, building, as the Saxons did, mud huts, with thatch of reeds and 6traw, surrounded by the great outer wall or fortifi cation, and thinking himself hap py if no seizure is made of hip- rude furniture, his armor, and his metal drinking vessels. As he becomes more refined he has more property to guard, silver and gold, tapestries, jewels ; after awhile, books and statuary and paintings. His defence now becomes more complex, he employs other men to watch his possessions, and con structs banks to hold what is most precious, and contrives cun- nmsr locks, ot which no one knows the secret but himself. Largest Qrapc Yln la Existence. The grape vine at Hampton Court, England, famed as the largest in existance, bore last year 1200 bunches of grapes. which, as usual, were sent to the Queen. The great vine usually bears upward of 1500 bunches. At the beginning of each season it has from 3000 to 4000 bunches but vigorous pruning is resorted to in order that the strength of the vine may not be impaired. "Rabbi John Sergius," the 'converted Jew," writes to the Wilmington Messenger saving that he is no humbug but is all right. ibmi;seuavi: t oRt i:.

To appreciate wave force and what may le termed the throw ing power of a wave let it be mi-; uerstood that in the winter of! 1SGO, at Bishop's Rock lighthou.-e! the bell was torn from its fasten-' iugs, although situated 1 let t above the high water mark. At Unst, in the Shetland Islands, a door was burst in at a hight of 195 feet abovj the level of l!,e sea. The most wonderful effects ; of wave force recorded were wit nessed at Wick Harbor break water. Blocks weighing from live to ten tons were built in above the line of high water, first with hydraulic lime, then with ; Roman and 1 with .Portland 1 cement. This great work was considered by most learned en gineers in England to be capable of withstanding the assaults t f the ocean forages, but in October, over 300 feet of this g;atit ' barrier was stc,t away. In 1S72 I a monolithic, block, weighing 1,-! 350 tons, was lifted bodily and carried to leeward breakwater, and in 1S73 another and heavier concrete mass, weighing 2,WH) tons, which had replaced the for mer, was swept away intact a .d carried to a point equally distant. The marine dynamometer, for measuring the force of waves against an obstacle, was invented by Thomas Stevenson, and one of the results obtained was at Skcrry vore lighthouse in the Atlantic, where a force of 6,053 pounds rer square foot was measured. At Dunbar a force of three and a half tons per square foot was recently registered. loe Murder of Iloa liny wood. I i'e'n NewvObse ver. Coroner Bulfaloe held an in quest over the body of Rosa Hay wood yesterday and last night, after hearing all tho evidence, the jury brought a verdict that the deceased came to her death at the hrnds of the colored woman Mary Smith, who lived in the hoii?e, and Orange Page, a color ed man and an ex-convict who was intimate with her. It was fonnd that the neck of the aged woman had been broken, appear- antly by a twist or a wrench, and considering the age of the deceas ed this was probablv not difficult to be accomplished. It was shown that Tage was at the house with the woman Mary Smith at 7:30 o'clock the night before and the tracks of both as they left the house were found. These must have been made aiter 4 a. m., as it was raining up till about that time and the tracks must have been made after the rain ceased The object ot the murderers was undoubtedly robbery. They have uot been heard of Bince leaving, and it is supposed they have gone to Norfolk. Testing Their Motives. Sweet girl "Papa, I wish you'd lock up your money and pretend to fail; there s a good old dear. It needn't last more than a week or two, and there are bo many failures now no one will find fault." Father "Of all things! Wha " Sweet Girl "Oh, it's all right. You see, I'm engaged to nire young men, and I've got to get rid of at least eight of them, somehow." A catch offish made by Mr. Walter Willis, of Morehead City, a few days ago, netted him $231. 25, 6ays the Beaufort Herald. There were about three and a half tons of the fish. The Herald says that it was the largest catch ever known to have been caught around there with one seine at one haul. The Concord Times says that Mr. W. E. Furr, of Stanley coun ty, is the father of 22 children. He has been married twice, his first wife being the mother of . 13 and his last wife 9. All of his children are married except 0. Mr. Furr is 62 years old, but does not look to be over 50. A colored woman in North ampton left her two small chil dren alone in a room, where there was a fire, while she went to a neighbor'6 to get water. When she returned one of the children was burned to death.
