SALISBURY, N. C., MONDAY MORNING, THE MANSION HOUSE. On one of the prominent corners of Salisbury city there standeth an ancient and venerable mansion called the Mansion House, and on Monday the 21st; the interior of this aforesaid Hotel contained gems of great and priceless value plain looking casket though it be, "And the lamps shone over fair women and bave men." . The fairest of Saiitbury's. daughters had gathered there,- their eyes lit up with iiappines antjl their cheeks rosy with the hues of purity, health, and . . . ' TIT L joy, as tne aance went on. vv e were in our ; clement--the moments, had wings and flew rapidly" a way? we Iripped 'd?X'r'tx6mt. partners on the "light fantastic toe.' "We had the quadrille and the soul inspiring waltzl We had music soft and balmy music from a fiddle and a triangle.' In j fact joy ' and mirth -were unconfined and the old mansion looks younger in our eyes by a quart er of a century, from the scenes and recollections of Monday night. In fact, for our reception, the whole front seemed to look light and airy, and a we stepped; from the omnibuss in which, we had been' collecting the fair; it was a Strange contrast to the usual dark and sombre character of that portion of our town. We had wine. ric3i as rubies of the vintage of 1840, more or less ;uwe had cakes which the ladies said was " so nice," and in fact we had all that the, enter prise of the new proprietors "of the hotel, Messrs. Reeves & Coughen our could, with their urbanity and politeness, furnish. They deserve to command success. , The occasion of which we speak was a happy and joyful opening, and we hope, it was the promise of the future of the hpuse.

They also found the bar aU tendant, a mau named Sanders, very badly cut witb a knife. Two severe Wounds in the head. Swink, the police, running for reinforcements of municipal power, ran with full force against a lamppost, bruising himself severely ) and painfully.
