'By all means, if it is their de sire, as it should be. to rear young men." Are the associations when doing this work yon mention aiding the churcA, or an iDjury to it ? Experience has proven that every association that works for its distinctive purpose is a great snp- port to the chnrcn. loung meu who are active in the association ' are aiways the more active in their church work. There, they being engageu tu tuts special uin, m be able to touch and reach many outside of the church, that in the church they will not reach. Sta tistics show ns that only 5 per cent, of the youug men ot these United States "are church communicants: only 10 par cent, attend church regularly, and only 15 per cent, ever darken the doors of the church. So you see that there are So per cent, of the young men to be reached outside ot the church, whom we believe the Young Men's Christian Association should en deavor to reach and bring into the church ." Do you consider this a promising field for distinctive young men's work? -Indeed I do. The association here has a vast work and is resnou siple for this special class. They have taken a right move to. win. The new rooms, so comfortably furnished by the Christian ladies, and the renewed activity on the part ot many Christian young men has already been felt. 1 think this a very promising Held, and believe that Kaleigh is . a : . v. : . . . : i , I last getting in the way to mate her work for young men felt, not only here, but throughout the State.

YKKliAS. Ga.-tonia. N. C, March 7. "7 A Singular Case. New YoKK. March CO. J. H. Hut. a San Francisco lawyer, made applica tion before Recorder Smyth today that an old indictment for forgery aain-t William Kissane be loh'c j.ivi The indictment was L.und againt him in November, l-a 4. fur u'.terint; a forged check for SihO'.. draw;. . n the Continental Hank. Another indict ment charged lorn with forging a -heck for Sl-UOu on the American Exclao ge Bank. On the latter indictment Kis sane was convicted ar.d sentenced to two years and six months imprison ment. He was pardoned after nine months" service, and went to San Eran cisco, where, under an assumed name, he has become one of the leading citi zens of that city, and is rep.ru-J to be immensely wealthy. District Attorney Martine said tint the matter was dead now. and needed no further action, but submitted a let ter, which he had received from Gen. Francis Dorr, formerly of this city, but now of San Francisco, which asked that the indictment be not dismissed, and stating that in addition to crimes charged against him, Kissane has also committed murder. The letter eludes: "Kissane, by llight and change of name, has so far evaded justice and ar rest for over thirty years. He did my family a great wrong, and I have hoped to rind him all these years. 1 have at last succeeded, recognized and iden tified him bevond a doubt. He is a prominent man in th State, and has great wealth. Una of his brothers is a leading lawyer in this State, also under an assumed name: and their real names and hiitory are not dreamed of by the ptiblic. His repentance is all nonsense. He has never offered restitution to the many he has wronged. In haste. "Signed. Fkaxcis Doni:." Recorder Smyth said he would give Canada'36 representative of tho Conti nental Dan an opporiunuy to tie nearu in the case before passing on the matter.

Kaleigh Ac-.'- anil ()'), rr:: It was said o:i good authority yester day that plans were maturing for the building of a cotton factory at this place. So may it be. Farm ers who came in from the country yesterday reported great damage to fruit throughout the county. Keports indicate that everything in bloom has been killed and that the fruit crop will be very short. With reference to the intere.-tiiig article on plantingcotton in checks. which we reproduced trom the .New Berne Journal vesterdav. we would say that the difference be twei n the climate of Alabama and that of onr own State should not be lost sight of in considering the experience of Farmer Terrell. In Alabama the cotton plant matures readilv. With us it is necessary to force maturity, so to speak to en courage boiling at the expense of the growth oi the plant itself. Bearing this difference in mind we believe the article will be found to contain many valuable hints to the farmers of North Carolina. I in I i isani iiiir Prie-1-. 1M ;;i.ix. March '..

He was airaifirned before Judge Boyd today, and per sisted in his refusal to testily, whereupon the judge committed him to jail for contempt. Thous ands of people lined the route from the eouit house to Kilmainliam jail, and heartily cheeied the faith ful priest. Lord Mayor Sullivan and Archbishop ( 'roke followed the carriages and parted with the priest at the prison door. The Kev. Father Slatteiy was airaigned in Judge Uoyd's court to day at the same time that Eat her Kyan was placed at the bar. father Slattery was also charged with contempt of court in refusing to testify with regard to the action as trn.-tee, under the plan of cam paign, for the Ilerbertstown ten ants. He. remained steadfast in his determination to refuse to tes tily, and he was committed to jail. Both lie and Father Kyan were then placed in a carriage awaitiug at the court hon-e entrance and ilnveu to Kilniainham. Outside the court a dense crowd had col-lei't-d. and both the reverend cul prits were loudly cheered. The people crowded around the carriage and so blocked the streets that it' wa.- impossible to proceed. The people alternated their cheers for the p;ic-ts with hoots aud groans :'r the police. The latter, who were mounted, linally charged upon the eio'.vd with drawn swords, Jaud succeeded in clearing a passage. The e. image containing the pris oners was then driven atabiisk paee toward the jail, followed by the Lord Mayor's carriage, in which were seated the Lord Mayor, Mr. William O'Brien .editor of On' iff Ir:lanl and Aiehhi.-hop Croke. The mob followed, shouting and hooting the police, and threatening them with vengeance all along the route. The Georgia Peach Crop. Judge Anderson, commissioner of agriculture for Georgia, is in receipt of intelligence which indicates that the peach crop in that State has been badly injured bv the late cold enap. Mr. John IE Earned, of West Point, the largest peach grower in Georgia, says: "Peaches badly killed. On high ridges and branches of water ground fair crop : on low ami medium high ground nearly all are killel. One-eighth to one quarter crop." Other large growers concur to this statement, whilst others think the damage is not so great Heavy Snow Fall m Kentucky. Lexlngton, Ky.. March aO.
