North Carolina Newspapers

From the Cleveland Ohio Herald. Flat Bock, North Carolina, as a Resort for Invalids. Eds. Herald : In a" recent commu nication I spoke of the scenery and peo t r vrc-n Vnrth Carolina. In this propose to treat of the salubrity of the climate, ana lis auapuuu w ii son3 of weak lungs, and those subject to throat ailments. It has been common in former times tMa rlo. nf nsiients to Florida and South Carolina for relief, but lonff experience and recent aiscovenw i mitsai c-ionm nmvft ronrlusivelv that an atmosphere laden with moisture, such as prevails in those States, is most objecuonaDie, ana inut in proper location for the successful treat ment or pulmonary disease there are three conditions, each of which demand strict attention, namely, altitude, mild temperature, and pervious soil. - The importance of the first condition lies in the fact that the air of mountain regions is very stimulating; it acceler ates the circulation of the blood, quick ens and deepens the respiration, and gives bouyancy to the feelings. A friend writing to me from Flat ltock a few days ago says : "iiere x can from morning to night without feeling fatigued." The opposite of this is true of low, moist countries. They engen der weakness, languor and inactivity. The importance of the second condi tion is obvious, as weak and diseased lungs cannot stand intense cold. Tbe third condition is equally Im portant, though not so apparent. -To impress this more fully on the minds of your readers I quote as follows from the Scotch-American Journal of March 31 1870 valuable paper on. the 'Relation of Geology to the Consumption Death rate,' has been communicated to the Geological Magazine' by Mr. Whitta ker of the Geological Survey. The au thor's observations are mainly confined to the counties of Surrey, Sussex and Kent, In which he has made a geologi cal and statistical examination. The whole paper is replete with interesting and valuable information, but we have space only for the general conclusion to which the author has beau led by the examination. They artOas follows: 1. That on pervious soils there is less consumption than on Impervious soils. 2. That on high lying pervious soils there is less consumption than on low lying, pervious soils. 3. That on slo-. ping, impervious soils there is less con sumption than on flat, impervious soils. A. These references must be put along with the other fact that artificial removal of subsoil water alone, by va rious sanitary works, ha3 largely de creased consumption, from which fol lows the general inference that wetness r. cJl la crrnnt milSfl of COnSUmD- tlon, the author having found in the course or ni3 enquiries ku wma w along with the consumption death-rate to any extent. It is mentioned that Dr. Bowditch ha3 made the same ob servations In America, and contends that soil moisture is one of the chief causes of consumption in New Eng land; and the Kegistrar-General of Scotland, applying the theory to eight large towns, accepts it as true. It is very properly pointed out that these observations introduce a new principle and obj&t in carrying out drainage works, aid consumptive people in choos ing .healthy living-places, and may tend to the lessening of a disease which Is the special curse of our country." I know of no country where the con ditions here set forth are so thoroughly blended together as the Flat Rock Re gion of western North Carolina, and the effects whicii l nave wuiMsawi ui its curative agency are almost incredi ble, but strange to say, for every one who goes to the highlands of the South seeking health and vigor, twenty go to the low flat swam is of Florida, and the result, although sad, is easily told. The portion of the country here de scribed is famous far its abundant sup ply of pure spring water. It is decid edly the best water I have seen in any country, being soft, cold and as clear as crystal. R M IJ- WoxDEUPUii Sagacity of a Dog. The Portland (Me.) Press says: The following story, strange as it may ap pear, is vouched by -several witnesses whoso testimony is unimpeachable.- A short time ago a female Newfound land dog was in the habit of coming to the house of a lady in this city who would throw to it pieces of cold meat,' which the dog would eat, and, having satisfied Its hunger, go away again. So confirmed, did this habit become, that at a certain hour daily the lady would expect the dog, and the animal would put in an' appearance. A few days ago, before feeding her, the lady said to her, Why don't you bring mo one of your puppies?' repeating the question several times as she stood at the window, the dog looking at her in the face with an expression of intelli gence, as If it understood every word the hady said. , , , . . The next day, to the lady's astonish? ment.at the usual hour, the dog return ed, and, lo and behold! was accompa nied by alitte puppy. .The lady led both dogs, ana men xook. uu uiu yuppjr Into the window, when the old dog scampered off and did not return for, three days. At the end of that timef the dog again appeared, when, after feeding it, the lady said: Ncxt time bring all your puppies, I want to see them:" and yesterday morning, sure enough, the dog returned accompanied by three Newfoundland pups. Several of the neighbors saw the whole trans action, and declared tliat they consid ered this oneoi tne most wuuuenui proofs of the sagacity of the dog they have ever known. Where the dog came from and to whom it belongs is not known, but we have the name of the lady and also of those who were eye witnesses to the occurrences as narrated by us. ,4TlIAT LITTLE DIFFICULTY."

While the challenged party was reading the invitation jto go out and be shot, his little daughter came up and said, "Papa,mother want3 you." The father then turned to the challenge-bearer and said, "This s my little girl, whose happiness and educa tion and living would be taken Ifrom her were I to be killed. I have also a wife and a baby whose welfare I jmust look to. This meeting, if fatal toj me, would deprive them 01 their only, sup port. My opponent is a young J man, without wife, or children, or family. He has very little to lose." Thej challenge-bearer" was .almost melted to tears. Tho picture j ust drawn was true to life, and he determined to return to his principal and ask for a compromise. The latter was a high-toned, chival rous Kentucky gentleman ,whosej heart at once responded to the appeal for mercy. ; A. compromise was effected. It was agreed that the duel shotild be postponed till the first party got marri ed and become the father of children. Then they will both be on an equal foot ing and can test each x other's , courage. A man was arrested, in Buffalo for stealinga barrel of salt. When arraign ed in the Court he pleaded destitution.

Murder mil Out. i From the Buffalo Courier. The' people of Tonawanda and of Grand Island are at present much in terested in revelations said to have been made in regard to the commission of a fearful tragedy which horrified the community sixteen years ago. There may be those of our readers who will call tho circumstances to mind, but doubtless they are few. In the year 1855, iri a little settlement known as Burgholtz, in the town of Wheatfield, about six miles from Tonawanda,dwelt a Prussian physician known as Dr. Stanger, a man of some means and llv known. One morning. about Thanksgiving time, in the fall of the year namea, a visuor iu nie uuusb of the doctor found no one to answer his call, and entering found the woman who had been employed as housekeeper lying dead upon the floor, and upon a bed the corpse of her daughter, twelve years lof age, both bearing ghastly wounds which produced their deaths. The discoverer of this scene of slaughter immediately alarmed the neighbor hood, and search was instituted for the doctor " , , . , At length his dead body was found by thd roadside more than a mile from his h0use,indicating that he had either been enticed in that direction, or that fleeing from the murderers he had at length been overtaken and disposed of. Some purpose other than robbery must have influenced the assassins, for none of the property in the victim's house was disturbed, even his gold watch re maining in its accustomed place upon the wall. A great excitement was ere thp npio-hhorhood. and strenu ous efforts were made to bring the guiltyi persons tojusiice,oui an avaueu nKthiry tor nithnnorh diflferpnt mrties uwimug, .v, - r . 7 f toward whom suspicion pointed were ni-oved azainst them and they were released. Years passed on , the tragedy becoming an old-time story, and it tvi that thp mvsterv which en shrouded it was never to be cleared awayU But at last, as we are torn, rey tirtinris hnvp boen made tending in this case to verify the saying tljatmur: der will out. ( The facts in our possession are as re lated to our reporter, who, in company with Detective Mitchell, instituted in quires In relation to the topic which,as before stated, is now of so great inter est to those who reside in and near the vicinitv where the Stanger murder was committed. We cannot vouch for the entire truthfulness of the statements we now have to make,but only present them as they are related. On Grand Island.-at and after the time of the murder resided witn nis iamny oue Christian Forbeck, a man of rather ill rrntpJhnt norainst whom no suspicion as to his complicity in the crime was directed. Later his business affairs did not prosper,and atlength,perhapseignt or nine; years ago, he removed 10 a western State. Also near bailie iivwi ninnnhv thfi name of Wasrner. Of his reputation we have learned but little, 'lie, too, removeu 10 me urai some ykirs ago. The present report, and winch has renewed the interest in this affair of the past, is that within the past few weeks Christian Forbeck has expired, and that upon his dying bed he made full conlession tnat ne it was., wiui me complicity of Wagner, who committed the triple murder. Wagner, shortly after he went away from thi3 state, made his way to Michigan and there ended his career by performing the office of the hangman for himself. If all this be true, it adds a thrilling final act to the tragedy which sixteen years agci was so terribly commenced. There are now many who can remember sus picious! circumstances against Forbeck, which never before appeared to them in the same light. One of these is re lated to U3 by John Hupman, who now keeps a grocery at the corner of Penn sylvania and Fifth streets. Four years after the murder Mr. Hupman, who then lived in Tonawanda, as then did also Forbeck, one evening conversed with him upon subjects of criminal acts, in the course of which Forbeck significantly said "if all I have done were known, I would have been upon the gallows years ago." Perhaps more about the murder and its perpetrators will yet be brought before the world, and if Forbeck is dead, and has left such a confession as described, it may: be publisn in lun dcian. '. . v .; A Touching Letter. Mr. John A. Nolan, of Chicago, form-. erly "of Boston, writes to Mr. O. W. Newt'omb, of that city, as follows: ' My Dear Friend You doubtless think of my family and self as dead. I. am happy to inform you that my wife and babe arc nowwell. Our little daughter! (our first born) was born in Lincoln Park on Sunday morning, the 8th inst. I had made a home of my coat, a sheet that a neighbor kindly loaned me and a high hat that I picked up near our. locationr ; We were boarding at the Sherman House, but had to flee and, leave everything. I was even left with-j out my hat. ' I :ftnd-bless the Boston folks, and but for a warm bed and clothing from your, noble city my wife would now have; been dead. A pair "of blankets (from; Boston) was brought to us in our hour of peril, thus saving the life of my wif and, little one. How acceptable the food has been, too ; but hundreds about us have nearlydied from over-eating as well as from exposure. The first thing L got to eat was a "Boston cracker.' I enjoyed it better than I ever enjoyed a dinner.: I had a little money in my vest pocket, which will keep us a long while. We have a tent now and are very comfortable, and should feel per fectly happy if we only knew the fate of our dear mother, who is missing. I presume we never shall. j -., -I trust you will pardon this writing for it is accomplished under many difj ficulties. . We shall always bless your people for their great kindness. Three cheers went up for Boston from our little crowd last night. . A little bundle oL baby clothes was brought to us last; -night, with a label, "From the Christ tian Union of Boston." In the.bundle was everything, even to a nursing bot tle, a very acceptable article, which we were pbliged to .use. , God bless the hands that .did up that bundle; a mother must have done it.

Immigration Treatment of j Northern People at the South. '4 We propose to say a few plain words in regard to a much talked Of subject. In cool blood let us consider, for a while, facts and things as they are. At the outset let it be premised (and we do not believe that any person of sense and observation will deny it), that there is a broad and distinct difference between a Southern and a Northern Society. Their manners, their education, their habit of thought, their pursuits, their ideas, their civilization, and even their Christianity were dissimilar. A colli sion of force occurred in the nation in consequence of this dissimilarity and antagonism. The Southern element of manners, of education, of ideas and of civilization, were overwhelmed and overcome completely in this collision. This brought us to the close of the war. i What do we find now? Not by any means a total obliteration bf all the conditions which produced the war, but on. the other hand, that the old conditions to a great extent remain. With the outward form of surrender, complete and comprehensive as it was, the populatibns of the South did not divest themselves of all their previous notionsideas and predilections. We do not design now to speculate, philo sophically, as to the possibility of a population thoroughly indoctrinated in certain opinions and classes of opinions, throwing them off abruptly, and at once, and adopting new ones, but we simply allude to the present condition of Southern society as a palpable fact; Now. we observe, and we admit be cause we do observe, that j t here is a gradual, though slow, subsidence of these peculiarities these old Southern ideas and opinions. Their ideas were the weaker and the- less tenable, a&d when they took visible shape and effect in the physical struggle of the war, they yielded, and now, since the war, are constantly, though, aS we said, slowly yielding as against the attrition of superior and better opinion. So that we find in the South an incursion in progress, as inevitable in its results as ' wasthe incursion of the armies, but it is an incursion of opinion, and princi ples, and ideas, advancing steadily, but slowly ; yet, after all, like an " army with banners," and with tho allies of a more vigorous training, of greater wealth, and of a superior civilization. To partisans, to small neighborhood politicians, to that hide-bound class in the South (which is large), who " learn nothing, and forget nothing," this is looked at with the eyes of prejudice, and they exclaim, "yankee innova tions," "uprooting the institutions of our fathers." But the honest, unpre judiced, liberal thinking of the Southern population welcome these innovations of opinion as they do the traction en gine or a cotton mill. The tendency of all this Is evident. It is toward the unification of the civilization of the po pulations on the continent of North America. - I Nevertheless (for the above remarks are preliminary,) it is undeniable that a northern man coming to ! the South at present, with such opinions as he naturally entertains, and especially if he be an open and avowed Republican, is liable to experience a great many unpleasant things. This is especially so if he brings with him a family. 1 It is so on account of the condition of society here, as explained above). He finds that nearly all the churches', tho institutions of learninsr. the religi ous and other newspapers, and, indeed, nearly all tne ramincations oi wnat i called society are composed of, m and managed by persons wrho were either active in, or who assented to the rebel lion. To have been a good conieuerauj is a passport to popularity, not to say respectability. On the other hand the northern man is imbued with all this impulses engendered at the North by the effort to suppress the rebellion. He had been educated to hate slavery and secession, he had participated in pub lic meetings, had marched in proces sions, had assisted at the obsequies of slain heroes, or had perhaps led troops in battle. The result is that he finds himself in a position where he is oblig ed to abandon his convictions and his manhood in order to be on social terms with his neighbors. If he participates in a Republican meeting, the local pa per, which is often conducted by some brainless, narrow minded I and mean Rniritod "bomb Droof." assails him as a carpet-bagger and pursues him;-with; calumny and vilification. lie uitt. Y a orpntlpm.in. and a man of capacity. and culture, and wealth, arid' character, . ' i TT : but it makes no ainerence; ne is as sailed with epithets, and j denounced. The local paper informs him that "no gentleman can be a'-"Republican," and advises that no social intercourse be hplfl with such as act with the Repub- lirarm TTft cets cool nods - alonsr the streets. He is stared at in church. He i nnhhPfl on 'chance.

And t.hi is the real .reason whv. since the war, the South has not leaped .forward in the road to prosperity, i The .whole of this magnificent reerion languishes, nnH its fipld lie uncultivated, arid to tho sun.
