People are m'ghty mad about the census. It is reported that the storm of last Friday afternoon did considerable damage in the northern section of this county. There are twenty one students in attendance ou the summer session of the law school at Ihe Chapel Hill University. This is twelve ltss than last year.

Sinyre, on behalf of the ladies of Ca tawba county, have forwarded to Mr. W. C. Stronach for the Soldiers' Home Fund, the sum of $52.50, being proceeds of a dinner given on Tues day the 15th inst. Our Population We hope that Supervisor Hawkins, may soon find it compatible with the public interest to make known some thing like, at least, an approximate estimate of the population of Raleigh This seems to have been clone in many other cities, and therefore we take it, that the injunction of secrecy, has, to a certain extent, been removed. The. people are anxious to know. A Great Industry. Very few persons, even in our midst are aware of the vast amount of busi ness done at the North Carolina Car Works, in this city. It is indeed one of the foremost industries of the kind not only in North Carolina, but in the south. A contract has just been awarded by the Georgia, Carolina and Northern Railroad for large ad ditif ns to its rolling stock, consisting of one hundred freight cars. It is gratifying to know that the work turned out at these shops is, at least the equal of any done at the north Masonic. Hiram Lodge, No 40, A. F. and A. M., will meet iu regular communica tion at 8 o'clock tonight. A full meet ing of the membership is earnestly requested, as there will be business of importan e to be attended to, among which will be work in the third de gree. Brethren of titer lodges are cordially invited. E. B. Thomas, Sec'y. flit. Holly Fair. An important feature of the Grape Fair and Farmers' Alliance Encamp ment to be held at Mt. Holly, N. C, July 28th to Aug 2nd, will be the or ganization of a League, whose in '.'tu bers pledge themselves to use as far as possible the products of southern manufactures of every kind. At every fair held in the south this year, such an organization should be made. Manufacturers of all kinds of goods should place samples at all of these fairs and show the people how much the south herself produces for the necessities of her home life. Personal Mention. Dr. V. E. Turner has returned from Atlanta, Ga , where he has been in attendance on the dental conven tion. Mrs. C. D. Upchurch and daughter, Miss Mabel, have gone to Connelly Springs. Mrs J. M. Burbee, we are sorry to say is quite sick at her residence on Saunders street. Mrs Solomon King is very sick at the residence of Mr. G. M. Spence on South Person Street. Rev. J. L. Foster, pastor of the Christian Chu;ch, returned to the city today from Alamance couuty. Raleigh Tabernacle Church 1 he services at the Baptist Taber nacle SundaySchool were well a tend ed four new scholars. 'J he church services was well attended both morn ing and evening. The Rev. Dr. J. J, Hall's sera. on in the morning sub ject -'A Distressed Mother" was well delivered and of great power. In the evening his subject was "Jesus Christ and the People." This sermon was especially devoted to the working class, and was delivered in the doc tor's mual able manner, and appar ently ell received, and we hope the next sermon of the series, which will bo delivered next Sunday evening will be listened to by a crowded house; we are sure it will do all good. Let everybody attend, especially the working people. The Broutotherium. Boston Post. A decided coolness has risen be tween two of the professors in the University of Dakota. It is nil on occount of the broutotherium. It seems that certain fossif remains were unearthed, and Prof. Fowler de clared them to be the bones of the broutotherium, which he proceeded to describe in detail, basing his res toration of this extinct monster on the bones in hand. He prepared a course of lectures on the subject, and told the students that the original animal was built af ter the kangaroo, that he was about feet in stature, and that when he went hippopotamus hunting he mov ed by successive jumps, ,, each jump covering 200 feet. But Prof. Este, who seems to have been temporarily absent, also exam ined the remains, declared them to be those of the broutotherium, but declared that the broutotherium was a tree, and that what Prof. Fowler had declared to be a jaw bone was neither more nor less than a branch which time had changed into a stone. This marked divergence of opinion on the part of their professors has filled the minds of the students with great uncertainty as to the broutotherium. A Good Investment for Raleigh. Correspondence of the Visitor. Ralkigh, July 21, 18J0. I read a local in your paper a few days since relative to the Odd Fel low's Orphanage. If 1 understood the article correctly, it was resolved at the last meeting of the Grand Lodge of Odd Fellows to consider, at its meeting next May, the expediency of establishing a home for the or phans of Odd Fellows; in the mean time have the different communities in which there were lodges of Odd Fellows carefully consider the mat ter and do what what they could to wards the institution. I am satisll d a more suitable locality than Raleigh affords, could not be selected. Our climate is as healthy as could be de sired. Water excellent aud general sanitary condition second to none in the State, and I am quite sure the market facilities are as good, if not better, than any elseweere, therefore the little ones could be provide t for as economically in Raleigh, and cer tainly made as comfortable here as anywhere in this jurisdiction. Tha two lodges here number ne irly two hundred and fifty strong, as good, kind hearted and generous men as live in any community or hold mem bership in any jurisdiction. Men who are "grateful to their Creator, faith ful to their country and fraternal to their fellow man," who are filled with all the true principles belonging to Odd Fellowship, and who would make it their chief aim and ambition to foster and promote the best interests of the institution should it be located in their midst. Knowm; the people of Raleigh as v,e do, we feel no hesi tation in saying that those outside of the order would lend a'l the aid in their power to the noble work. It is highly probable that it will not be long before the memb.-rship in Raleigh will have among its number the Grand Sire of the Sovereign Grand Lodge, our highly respected fellow citizen, C. M. Busbee, Esq., than whom no larger hearted or nobler minded man walks the streets of our city. Holding as he justly does, the highest esteem of the whole fraterni ty of every section, we know that Mr. Busbee would give the orphanage the benefit of his wise counsel, and any and all other support that might lay in his power. We also have in our mi.lst, that Christian gentleman and tried Odd Felljw, B. H. Woodell, Esq., the Grand Secretary of the Grand Lodge of North Carolina, who is devoting his whole time to the good of the or der. I am quite 6ure he would in every way possible help the institu tion. There are scores of other enthusias tic, true and tried membeis of the fraternity among our citizens, whote influence and help the orphanage would have if located at Raleigh. We say come on Brethren, bring the unfortunate little ones, and the good people of Raleigh will help you to ere for them, and as far as possi ble fill the places of those whom an All wise Providence has taken away from'them. C. H. L. Amos A. Parker, of Fitzwilliam, N. H., is the oldest college graduate.hav- ing been in theUniversity of Vermont class of 1815. He is nearly 99 years old but still bright. A few years ago he married Miss Julie Smith, of Glas tonbury, Conn., who was then 86 years old.' She was his third wife. He rode from Boston to CoDcord with ' Lafayette. Few ladies considered that they ' carrv some forty or fifty miles of hair i on their head; the fair-haired may have to dress seventy miles of threads of gold every morning. European capitalists propose to assume the railroad indebtedness of the Governu ent of Mexico, and issue ' bond to be paids for at the rate of two per cent per year. J SPECIAL NOTICES.
