The attendance at the lecture of the Rev. Dr. J. It. Shearer, president of 1 Davidson college, last evening, was Hot what it should have been, only 150 persons being present. Those who were present were well entertained j and had an opportunity of listening ; to one of the best lectures ever deliv ered here, both as regards thought and ; delivery. The doctor s subject was ' The part the llible plays in a liber al education." His talk, which lasted or one hour and thirty minutes, was lear and forcible and replete with no oratory. The line of thought was never dropped for au ustant and the closest attention of the audience was held to the end. The led ure clearly howed the uses of and necessity for the study of the llible in universities, col leges and public schools and plainly illustrated t lie relation nearly all the courses of study iu a secular educa tion, literature, art, science and poe try bear to t he Bible, lie compared education wit limit the llible to nihil ism in Persia and communism in France. The lecture was a treat such us the people of Haleigh seldom have chance of hearing and it is to be regretted that a larger number did not avail themselves of the opportuni ty. Dr. Durham, president of the local alumni of Wake Forest college, announced that it was the purpose of the association to obtain from time to time prominent men to deliver lect ures liere on the subject of education. I'liis is a praiseworthy undertaking nd it is as little as the people of Ra leigh can do to ghe the speakers a proper audience. S. P. C. A.

Notwithstanding he still held on for a hundred yards or so further, sprinkling the track with blood, until just as was passing through a deep cut, he was shot straight out from the train, as if from a catapault, and thrown with terrific force straight against the side of the bank.

Correspondence: Last Monday a little 3-year-old negro girl, daughter of David Blue, who lives near here, attempted to follow her father to the woods where he went to feed some hogs. He told her to return home, but she lost her way back. Her mother, thinking that the girl was with her father, was not alarmed, but when he returned in the evening and missed the child, he went to look for her. Searching parties were organized which scoured the woods night and day and only found her yesterday three miles from her home in 'the woods, unharmed aud still walking. It is a wonder that she lived.:." Green Holleman, an old darkey preacher, was gored by his ox yester day and is quite seriously wounded. Torbell's eream cheese at Turner & Wynnb's.
