He still continues to keen the foxes at bay. He has caught, since the 1st of February, about 60 foxes ajid ki(led 18 fine deer, some of them (if the largest kind.

Ward klled the next day fivo of the "var mints," two of them measuring twelve and a half feet each in length, and it was not a good day for "gatoring," either.

Ashcville News: A visit to some of the back yards and alleys of the town would lead one to suppose that the prin cipal business of the citizens of Asheville was the manufacture of fertilizers, Ash es, filth, dirt and trash, generally abound in reckless profusion, and with a few more warm days the smell will outrank a first class guano factory. Hassell, of the Eagle Hotel, had his table last Sunday, bountifully supplied witli fresh tomatoes, spring potatoes, green peas and straw berries, direct lrom iionda. These Southern delicacies with buffalo tongue from the Western prairies, look ed like making the extremes meet in a pleasing combination. But the propo sition that the product of the means is equal to the product of the extremes held good in this ease, lor llassell had North Carolina represented with roast beef, turkey and boiled ham, et cetera. His guests weVo as diversified as his din ner, for they were from New York, the New England States, Mexico, Iowa, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Virginia, with some North Carolinians by way of va riety. 1 . ! .
