From the present weather indications winter is not disposed to leave us in any undue haste. Saturday night a cold rain set in and continued all night with a northerly wind prevailing. All day Sunday was damp, drizly and quite cold, changing after night from rain to to snow, so that yesterday morning the ground was covered with about an inch of that wintry fleece. This rapid sue' cession of snow storms is unusual in this section, but after all is not the worst fer.ure of departing winter; not near so do 'ructive to early trucking as is' .xt and continued cold rains. SliH Hanoek Street. Our attention has been called to the necessity of having Hancock street shelled, the same as others , which the city has improved in that way. The rack of the railroad through the center has been nicely filled up, which leaves the sides declining towards the ditches in such a manner as to wash by the fall of rain, even of moderate duration, thus putting the drive-way on either side in a bad condition, whether this is a work proper for the city authorities or for the railroad company, wo are not advised, but suppose an allusion to it sufficient to move whichever it is, to a matter of such importance. Uouor to a Blew Berne Book Rev. Principal John Cairns, D. D.. LL. D.; one of the most learned and dis- tinguished theologians and college presidents In Great Britain, has written the following notice of the little book oa "Amusements and the Christian Life, bv Rev. L. C. Vass. New Berne, n. c." . - "Edinburgh, Feb. 2, 1885. "I have read with much interest the work of the Rev. L. 0. Vass; of New Berne, North Carolina, on "Amuse ments and the Christian Life." It dis plays more than ordinary research in regard to the relation of the Primitive Christians to the amusements of their age, and pleads earnestly and success fully for the cultivation of the 6ame un worldly spirit in our Own times. "The clearness and giace of the style, and the general soundness Bnd solidity of the matter, recommend this little work to wide consideration, which its adoption by the Presbyterian Board of Publication will also tend to secure. "John Cairns." Rev. J. N. Waddell, D. D Chancellor of the Southwestern Presbyterian Uni versity, Tennessee, in a published re view says, "the author, Rev. L. C. Vass, has adopted a novel method of treating this hackneyed subject, by first discus sing the principles and habits of the Christian churches nearest the times of Christ and His Apostles t and then com paring them with those that character The judicious and appropriate selec tions of illustrations, of the opinions and practices of the Primitive Church which is found in this historical sketch, can not be too highly commended. The tyle also in which the book is written is clear and attractive, and the entire volume is one that will repay a diligent perusal.'" Highly commendatory articles on this book have appeared in the News and Observer Cliristfan Advocate (Methodist) , Biblical Becorder. (Baptist)', all of Ral eigh, N.

Wadesboro Intelligencer: There came near being a whole iamny poisoned in Wadesboro a lew days ago, owing to the criminal careless ness oi some countryman who had sold eggs to a grocer, one of which had arsemo iu it. When people poison eggs for dogs, they should be careful to see that the eggs are eaten by the dogs or destroyed. he selling of such eggs should be made an indictable offence, whether harm comes of it or not. Plymouth Examiner: During the recent frosty night which sud denly succeeded by snow, a young man met with a singular catastro phe. He went home with his young lady and stood outside talk ing with her. The honeyed words so charmed him that the minutes glided by unheeded. When he at ast said good-night and prepared to leave his fair companion, he found himself unable to move. He was actually frozen down and could not lift his feet. The girl went in to the kitchen and returned with a kettle of hot water with which she proceeded to thaw out her impris oned lover. Wilmington Bevieic: , About 4 o'clock this morning a young lady iving in the house with her brother n-law, in the southern portion oi the city, awoke and saw a colored man peering into her room. There was a lamp burning in the room at the time! and' when the intruder saw that he was discovered he ran down stairs and oat of the back door, which had been opened when he entered so as to permit a hasty egress should occasion require it. He had entered by opening a win dow in the passage. The young ady made no outcry until after the scamp had gone, so that when her brother-in-law and the remainder of the family were aroused the scamp had made good his escape. Nothing was taken from the house. CLIPPINGS.

It is asked who lives there, and it often refuses to tell It does not know the names of the neigh bors, or where its father or mother is to found. The uniform is a signoi tne enemy, and no information is to oe had.'5' -''.. i : - The question whether money found in a shop belongs to the keeper of the mace or the finder is often disputed. writer in the Pharmaceutical Record re lates that a customer in a drug store once picked up a dollar note from the floor between two parallel counters. He inquired if any one in the store had lost it, and finding they had not, he appro priated it. : His claims to it being diS' puted, the case was submitted , to lawyer, who said: " ine open passage between the two counters was dedicated to the public, not in fee simple, but as highway which they were invited to occupy for purposes of traffic." So the finder kept the dollar. : - Taking Cut of tne Body. The Christian Index, the leading or gan of the Baptist Church in the South published in Atlanta, Ga., in its issue of Dec. 4, 1881, has the following edito rial; ,. . Too many people seem to think that religious newspaper Bhould be confined to the diflcussioB of moral and religiou subjects onry, forgetting that religion ha. to do both with the bodies and souls of men. "Prove all things, bold fast that which is good," has as much to do with the practical side of life as it has with the moral side. Our readers will bear testimony that in all questions dis cussed in the Index, the practical has been duly set forth. In this paragraph,: therefore, we only seek to present an artiole worthy of commendation. After subjecting it to the above test we have tried Swift's Specific and found it good good as a blood purifier, good as a health tonic In this opinion we are sustained by some of the best men of the church. Rev. Jesse H. Campbell, the Nestor of the Baptist denomination in Oeorgia, says: "It is my deliberate judgment that Swift's Specifio is the grandest blood purifier ever discovered. Its effects are wonderful, and I consider them almost miraculous. There is no medicine comparable to it." Dr. H. C. Hornady, one of the best known minis ters in our churoh, says: "Swift's Spe cific is one of the best blood purifiers in existence." These brethren speak advisedly. But few preparations can bring forward such endorsements. The Index desires only to endorse these statements. We have witnessed the beneficial effects of this medicine, not only in our own households, but in several other cases where seemingly other remedies. had failed. It is purely a vegetable com pound, scientifically prepared, and per fectly harmless in its composition. It renews the blood and builds up broken down systems gives tone and vigor to the constitution, as well as restores the bloom of health to the suffering. There fore, we do not deem it inconsistent with the duties of a religious journal to say this much in its behalf. Treatise on Blood and Skin Diseases mailed free.
