The children were put to bed and Margaret was left to mind them and the house. It appears that Margaret laid down before the fire and went to sleep. Her clothes caught ifire, and just as Dr. Collet and wife got in sight of their house they saw a light and in a second Margaret came running out of the houso. The fire was put out in less than; thirty seconds, but she was so badly burned that , she died next day. While lying in the bed a short while before sho died, she asked that a little daughter of Dn Collet's, about'two years old, be laid in the bed beside her. While the ; cold childs of death were stealing over her little form and her spirit was preparing to return to tho God who gave it, she thus evinced icr lovo forthe ehildren she nursed. j Personal. The Statesville Amerimn says we were pleased to receive a call this week from Judge Nathaniel Boyden of the Supreme Court bench, who was on a vfeit to this place. Judge B. was looking in fine health, and has the elastic step of former days, when he was at the head of the States ville bar, where he has been much missed since taking upon himself judicial honors. But few men have filled a sphere of greater usefulness in public life, and none more faithful to the! trusts committed to tlieir care, whether as legal adviser, statesman, and Supreme Court Judge. - j Probarle Murder. Intelligence ar rived at Statesville, Thursday, morning, that a woman had been found somewhere in the northern portion of the county, with her throat cut and life extinct. Tho services of the Coroner were called in requisition, who departed for the locality. The woman was said to beafrail being, but whether a murder had been committed, or a suicide, was unknown.- Ibid. Dwelling Burnt. We regret to learn that the dwelling house of Mr. Martin Guy, near Amity Church,, in this county, was burned on last Monday. Mr. Guy was in attendance on court, and his wife being ab sent from the premises, tho roof ignited from a spark, and tho building was rapidly consumed. Through the exertions of tho neighbors a portion of the effects of the un fortunate gentleman were saved. Ibid. Murder and Violence in Kansas. Wo learn that a brutal muider, perhaps of two gentlemen, took' place recently in the town of Abilene, Kansas, one of the victims being Mr. W. j B. Carmichael, formerly a citizen of Wilkes county, and well known in this place, j where he marrijed a young wife a few years ago. The report is that two cattlcdealers from Texas had had some controversy with Mr. Carmichael and his partner in a business matter, then went away, but returning, one of the Texans re quested Mr. C.'s partner to walk back with him into the store, and then and there shot him dead, while the other Texan shot Mr. Carmichael through the breast, inflicting a dangerous if not fatal wound. Ibid. . Editorial notices are so common that it is almost impossible for an editor to ex press his honest opinion of the merits of any article without being suspecteffrJf interested natives. This fact, however, shall not de ter us from saying what we think of a new addition to the Materia Medica to which our attention has been recently directed. We refer to Dn. j J. Walker's California Vinegar Bitters, a remedy which is mak ing Us way into more families just now than all the other advertised medicines put together There seems to be no question about the potency of its tonic and alterative properties, while it possesses the great neg ative recommendation of containing neither alcohol nor mineral poison- That it is. a specific for Indigestion, Billiousness, Con stipation, any; many pomplaints of nervous origin, we have reason to know; and we are assui ed on good authority that as a general invigorant, regulating and purifying med icine, it has no equal. It is stated that its ingredients, (obtained from tho wilds of California,) are new to the medical world; and its extraordinary effects certainly war rant the conclusion that it is a compound of agents hitherto unknown. If popularity is any criterionj there can be no doubt of. the efficiency of the Vinegar BrTTERsfthe sale of the article is immense and continu ally increasing. - 4w. Raleigh Markets. POOL & .
