Dr. Burkheadof this city with the above title'. The. ''mode of baptism" is one of the questions that always has divided and probably always will divide chris tains, notwithstanding the' many con troversies and the very clear and Un mistakable proofs each side produce to sustain their position. , In this book Dr. Burkhead does-not offer any new aigu ment on the subject, and while the reading of it may net convert any one who has been trained in the Baptist's doctrine, yet the arguments are ?o ar ranged, and so tersely put that believers in the "modes" of baptism will be strengthened, in their faith by reading it. For sale by H. L. Hall. Tlldeu Heard Prom. Hon- Samuel J. Tilden, -in a public letter addressed to the chairman of the Democratic JBtate Committee, closes as follows: At present the considerations which induced my action in 1880 have become imperative. 1 ought not to assume a task which I have not the physical strength to carry through. To ivform the administration of -the Federal gov ernment, to realize my own ideal, and to fulfil ihe just expectations of the peo ple would indeed warrant (as they could alone compensate) the sac rifices which the undertaking would in volve. But in "my condition of advanc ing years and declining strength I feel no assurance of my ability to accom plish these objects, I am therefore con strained to say definitely that I cannot now assume the labors of the administration or of the canvass. Undervaluing in no wise that best gift that heaven, occasion and power some times bestow upon a mere individual, to communicate an impulse for good: grateful beyond all wordsto my fellow countrymen who would assign such a beneficent function to me, I am con soled by the reflection that neither the Democratic party nor the Republic for wnose future tnat. party is the best guarantee is now, or ever can be, de pendent upon any one man for their successful progress in the path of noble destiny. Having given to their welfare whatever health and - strength . I possessed. or could borrow from the future, and hav ing reached the term of my capacity for such labors as their welfare now de mands, I but submit to the will of God in deeming my public career forever closed. Sam'l J. Tilden. Einston Items. We have had good, refreshing show ers every day this week. Ideas are children of the brain. Like the children of men, they are sometimes brought forth with great travail. The Raleigh Neies and Observer has a jingling "pome" about the "old ticket," containing thirteen stanzas on "set 'em was a popular Democratic rallying cry. Richard L. Parrott, the editor of the Einston Times, is a candidate for regis ter of deeds in this county. Our young friend has been rather tart lately, but he will learn now it is easier to catch fliea with molasses than with vinegar.. The examinations and commence ments of the many schools in this sec tion are ' about over. This thing, it looks to us, is overdone. , More time than i3 necessary is wasted on examina tions and exhibitions. This seems to be the .case with all schools, public and private. An examination teaches nothing and should therefore be suffi ciently short not to interfere with the ordinary course of studies. But exami nations have, during the last decade, ocoupied a larger and larger share of at tention and time, until now, in too many cases, the sole aim of both teach ers and pupils during the entire time is to make a good showing at exhibition time. For several-weeks before vaca tion commences regular lessons are. sus pended and the time is spent in prepar ing for examination and exhibition. If the vacations, examinations, reviews, holidays, Saturdays, Sundays and ab sences through sickness of any twenty pupils were deducted, from the year, it is probable that it would be found tnat the average number of days in which regular lessons were learned would not amount to more than one hundred and fifty. This is a state of things that needs amendment, and one, which is to a great extent the cause of the over work which is crowded into the actual working days. A larger number of workine days, fewer studies more per fectly studied, and less time spent on examinations and exhibitions, would form a good prescription for the schools of our section. ; - ' -. .k ..

Dr. Hodges' dwelling is being pushed to completion as rapidly as possible. The two schools in our place are now vacating. If you don't want a dull time you 11 have to vacate too. Many refreshing showers has caused vegetation to put on a freshness that it knew not of during the cold snap. Prof. Skinner has gone to his home in Chowan county. He carries with him the best wishes of many friends here. Prof. Williams attended the annual commencement exercises at Chapel Hill last week, and returned Monday. Prof. White, his associate, will be here this week. Miss Effie Rouse and Mr. Thomas Rouse, daughter and son of our fellow citizen Noah Rouse, Esq., returned homo last Monday. Miss Effie has just com pleted her education at Peace Institute, and Mr. Thomas at Chapel Hill. The self-binder purchased by M. H. Wooten, Esq., from D. M. Stanton, ag't at this place, we learn is doing good work and giving satisfaction, It would have pleased us to see the machine ope rate, but circumstances would not allow it. - - Capt. A. C. Davis' new house, head quarters, is completed, and the Cap .ain, we suppose, is comfortably Btored away therein. The building is very beautiful, and we can suggest but one improvement about this the Captain must ask privately. We have seen a new separator, or thresher, purchased by Louis Hines from J. W. Grainger of Kinston, which is said to be superior to any ever used in our community before. Mr. O. H. Pearce will operate the machine and when we learn of its work we will say more. Afflictions in the family of your Item izer has prevented him from writing for several days. There are times in our lives when words cannot express our feelings of gratitude. The expres sion of sympathy and the kindness shown us by many friends will not be forgotten while life lasts. To these kind friends, to a kinder Providence, and to the attentiveness of Drs. Hadley and Hodges we will ever feel grateful. Mr, A. J. Sutton, who went to Florida about three months ago, returned here last Monday. Afflictions in his father's family brought him homo. For Several years Mr. Sutton was engaged as clerk in the mercantile business in this place, and had won for himself a name second to none here for attentiveness and relia bility. But the fancy paintings of the 'land of flowers" and the gay descrip tions of wealth in the immediate future, caused him to leave home, living and devoted parents, kind and affectionate brothers and sisters, and seek his for tune in that land. Many are the irrep arable wrongs that have been imposed on our best young men, who are at cer tain ages just ready for adventure, by giving to them highly painted and fan cied descriptions of the wealth of dis tant lands that can never be realized, North Carolina is to all practical pur poses a "goodly land," and the sooner our young men, and especially the good ones, learn to discredit the many ab surd, unreasonable and selfish accounts of the advantages of other States and remain at home the better for them and our State. STATE NEWS. Gleaned from onr Exchanges. Durham Reporter. "Work on the cotton factory is progressing rap dly J. P. Crowder, a white flagman on the Air Line Railroad, fell from the car at Trade street depot, Charlotte, and -was crushed to death by a moving train. Clayton Bud: The farmers here and yonder are busy harvesting their wheat. The curlew bags are getting worse. We heard the other day that a gentleman ,of Chatham county said that they had stolen his seed corn out of his pocket. ' : ' ' ; V Wilmington Star: A special tel egram to the Star from Mr. 0. W. Tillett informs us that Rev. J, H. Gwinn, a prominent minister, and pastor of the Methodist Church at Rockingham, Richmond , county, died there at 2 o'clock yesterday morning. -Four of the Collectors of this port have died in the past? three or four years, vi4: Gen. J. C. Abbott, Collector, and Messrs. L. E. Rice, R. C Myers and R. W. Chad wick, Deputy Collectors: al but the latter having died in office Raleigh - Few and Observer: Oats have been improved consider ably by the rains. The authori ties of the Seaboard Air-Line sys tern of railroads have subscribed $1,000 to the lands of the State ex position company, and the Rich mond & Danville system has made a donation of $1,000 to the same object, we chronicle these : evi denccs of public spirited generosity with pleasure. ' They are but in keeping with the reputation these splendid "corporations , have estab lished. . Raleigh Farmer and 'Mechanic. The attendance at St. Mary's school terminal exhibit, the past two eve nings, was very large, and very en joy able. ; We have never attended a school exhibition, but long ex porier.ee in jonrnansm trains the ! rf speech in tribute to the memory of Governor Jonathan Worth, at Chapel Hill last week, is highly commended. It was made in ac knowledgment of an oil portrait of the eminent Quaker, presented to- the University by his grandsons, a number of whom were in the au dience. Raleigh Evenintj Vi&itor: The crops are looking fin Peaches are plentilul in market, but the prices asked are quite high. At the regular meeting of the Board of Trustees lor the Institution ot the Deaf and Dumb and the Blind, held at . the Institution on yesterday afternoon, Mr. W. J. Young, was unanimously re-elected Principal of that Institution lor three years. All of the old teachers were unanimous- re-elected for the next session, which begins in September next. The present session closes to-mor row, when the students will return to their respective homes toenioy the vacation. The Institution was never in a better or more flourishing condition than at present, which speaks well for the Principal and his corps of teachers. Asheville Advance: Mrs. Judge enner, of New Orleans, has moved to Asheville to spend the summer. In some parts ot the State corn is so scarce and wheat so abundant that the farmers will feed their hogs with the latter. The troublesome potato bug is doing destructive work on gardens in this section Qne gentleman told us that they had literally eaten up his entire crop of potatoes, and that he counted as many as fifty-seven on one vine. t is surprising with what rapidity these bugs can destroy a vine after they attack it. A serious diffi culty took place at a bar room on Cane river in Yancey county on last Saturday, in which Ellis Gardner was shot and mortally wounded by a pistol shot at the hand of Wil- lam Wilson, a son ol the suerifl of that county. ' The report of the sad occurrence which we have received, is to the effect that tlio parties to the difficulty were at a bar room when a dispute of some kind arose, when Wilson drew his pistol and shot Gardner, tin ball entering the breast and passing through the body lodged near the back bone. t is thought that tuo wounded man cannot recover. Statesville American: The wheat harvest will be the largest ever known in Iredell and adjacent counties. Rev. Mr. Bynum, vangelist, with the Rector, Mr. Ed. Wooten, has been during the week, holding daily and night services at the Episcopal church, the former of whom has delivered a number of able and interesting ser mons. Quite a number of wheat cutting machines are being sold in this market, which will bo neoded to harvest the largo wheat and other small grain crops, which are more extensive than ever belore A gentleman from the country had in town on Tuesday a fine specimen" of the American Barn Owl lor which he only asked the small sum of $10. Strange that all who saw it could not recognize the species, although well acquainted with the owl family. Comparative- y tame with the owner, it was somewhat vicious at the near ap proach of strangers. Campaign Rates.
