FarmerTs Institute.
. Prof. Massey and Commissioner
Patterson, of the State Agricultural
Department, began a FarmersT Insti-
tute here today to continue two days.
This institute is for the purpose of dis-
cussing topics looking to the improver
ment of agricultural pursuits and the
advancement of farming interests gen-
erally. We were sorry to see such 4
small number of f.rmers, only about
torty, present at the meeting today and
hope there will be a much larger at
tendance tomorrow. ~There is much to
be learned from these institutes, and the
farmers should attend them.
A portion of the business section of
Greenville, N. C., was destroyed by fire
Saturday night. Monday morning the
ReF_rcror published an extra giving
full details of the disaster. The Re-
FLECTOR is always up to the times."
Berkley, Va., Graphic.
The Jacksonville (N. C.) Times
tells of a case in dispute there, over the
ownership of a three dollar hog; the
expense incurred to date amounts to
about $60, and as an appeal was taken
from the verdict rendered, the case goes
to the Supreme court, and we presume
that by the time the case is settled the
hog will have died of old age or be
worth seven dollars a pound.
Goods Roads,
The importance of road improve-
upen tlie people. It is strangely true
the greater number of people, it is dif-
ticult to get the majority of people to
take the matter of improving the roads
to heart and resolutely demand that
road improvement be commenced and
continued under the best possible system
~of labor. For some years New Jersey
has been one of the foremost States in
promoting the construction of good
roads, and her people are reaping the
benefits in a very Ssatistactory way.
Farm property in many instances has
doubledT in value, and wherever the
good roads are constructed there is cer
tain appretiation ~in property. New
Jersey sets aside $100,V00 a year for
the making of permanent roads, and
this pays the people so handsomety
there is a strong ~sentiment in that
State for increasing the annual appro-
priation." Leakesville Herald.
Engineer Killed.
At Weldon, Saturday, Engineer
Dodd, of the Seabord Air Line, was
shot and instantly killed by a negro
named Henry Dowden. The negro
was loafing around the train and got
up on the engine when Engineer Dodd
ordered him to get down. The negro
got down, drew a pistol and fired with
fatal effect. The murderer was arrest

A Far-Reaching Prayer.
There is nothing in the world which

We learn that Mr. J. C. Cox, near
near Winterville, died very suddenly
his morning.. Little more than a week
ago he had an attack of grip from which
he was confined to liis bed, but had re-
covered sufficiently to be up. This
morning he started out to feed his hogs
but fell on the way and lived onlyT a few
minutes. He was about 73 years old and
was one of the best men in the county,

DonTt ask who this gentleman is;

oFour or five years ago,� said he, oI
had a sweetheart that Iwas deeply. im
love with, and wanted to marry, but I
was afraid to ask her. At that time
I was making a study of psyhic phe
nomena and that soit of thing and it
occurred to me to make a psychical
proposal by projecting my subjective
mind around the corner to where the

me when I should take my objective

and felt sure that if I asked her would
get her, notwithstanding that she was
equally interested in a friend ot mine,

_ doubts as to my courage, 1 determined
to make a test the next evening, instead
going to see her, so I retired early,
that is about 9 o'clock, and, according | '
to formula, I exeried my mental facul-
hes to their utmost, and directed all my
ihental energies upon the girl and willed

Fakir Played the Chatham Folks Like
a Fiute.
en
There was a good deal of ex
citement on Tuesday, caused by
a fakir swindling, as was alleged,
a great many persons out of their
money. His victimsdo not. de-
serve much sympathy, for they
ought to know better and not al:
low themselves: to be so easily
duped. .
The fakirTs scheme for swind-
ling was so fraudulent on~its face
that it is surprising anybody was
duped. He pretended to be sel
jing some medicinal breast-pad
ata quarter apiece, aad. at. first,
he would give the purchaser a
halt or even a dollar in addition te
the. pad. This free distribution
of money soon attracted the cu-
pidttyT of the crowd and they
showered the money on him.
After thus giving away at least
$20,/he announced that he wouldT
stop, giving money aod would|
give jostead a valuable present
with each pad. Accordingly he
rapidiy banded suull packages us
prerents to his victims, who fair-
ly.rained the mouey Ou him, un-
tlie had received two or three
handred dollats. �
By. this tithe some of bis vie
tims hud opened their pacKages
and discovered that they were
worthless. They tuen became
angry and talked avout mobbing

ive protection and was escorted
to his boarding, house, . from
which he quietly slipped: ~broug h

_The Conspicuons Incidents of Great
Bravery During the Civil War.
There were, among othersT twe
conspicuous incidents of the, civil
war that have always Gome to my
mind when the uation was por-
trayed iu dire peril. There was,
on the one hand, the story of
Cushing, when he: hurried his
tiny stream) lanoch ut the great
log*boom protecting the ironclad
Albemarle, vaulted over it, and,
in the face of a merciless fire, ex-
ploded the torvedu that threw
the nouclad out of water. |
Ou the otber band is the tale
of the Coufederate crews of the
tiny submarine boat. that de.
s'royed the Northern warship
Housatonic. She was launched
and mauned, but the swell of a
passing steamer filled and sank
her, Only One man of her crew of
nine escaping. Again she was
floated and manned, only to cap-|
size and carry down six into eter- |
vity. A third time she was fitted.
~this time she took an experimen:
tal dive avd failed to return to
surface. fier whole crew
perished. Ln ihe face of all that
abpother crew"u volunteer crew
"was found ready, when once
more she was raised and fitted,
and this time she did her work
well. But unfortunately for the
volunteers their hatch was left
open, the wave of the explosion
flowed over her, and. down she
went ence more with all on board.

Mr, Carlyle.
Itsoon beeame a habit to watch
for the familiar carriage and either
to welcome Mrs. Carlyle for a visit
or to go with her for adrive. She
often came to me on Sunday after-
noon. One wet and dreary day I
was sitting alone when the bell
rang. I gladly ran to answer it and
saw a strango gentleman standing
there, but looking beyond him I saw
the dear face smiling at me from the
carriage window. I was eagorly
dashing forward, but was peremp-
torily waved back, with orders to get
my bonnet and come out. Mr.
George Cooke was our companion,
and in spite of the wind and rain
we were all yery bright and merry,
Mrs. Carlyle taking my hand and
holding it in hers for a great part of
the time.

PENNSYLVANIA IN 1683,
From an Unpublished Letter From Wil-
liam Pena toe Duke Ormonde.
-I thank god I am safely arrived
in the province that the providence
of god and Bounty of the King hath
made myne, and which the credit,
concerned with me must render
Considerable. I was reogived by the
ancient Inhabitants with much kind-
ness and respect and the rest
brought it with them; there may be
about four (f. 215b). thousand soules
in all, I speak, I think within com-.
pass; we expect an increase from
France, Holland and Germany, as
well as our Native Country.
The land is Generally good, well
waterTd and not so thick of wood as
imaginTd; there are also many open
places that have been old Indian
feilds, the trees that grow here are
the Mulberry, white and red, wal-
nut, black, gray and Hickery, Pop-
lar, Cedar, Cyprus, chestnut, Ash,
Sarsafrax, Gum, pine, Spruce, oake,
black, white, red Spanish chestnut
and Swamp which has a leafs like a
willow, and is most lasting. The
food the woods yeild is your Elks,
Deer, Raccoons, Beaver, Rabbets,
Turkeys, Phesants, heath-birds, Pid-
goons and Putredges, innumerably ;
we need no setting dogs to ketch,
cold weather. Our Rivers have also
plenty of excellent fish and water

ring, cadfish, or flattheads, sheeps-
heads, roach and perch, and trout

Snipe and the Curlue with the Snow-
bird are also excellent.

makes some reeomp case for the
sbarpe nights of the Winter season,
as well as tho woods that make
cheap and great fires. We have of
graine, wheat, maize, rye, barly,
oates, .severall excellent sorts of
beans and peas, pumpkens, water
and mus mellons, all englesh roots
and Gardon stuff, good fruit and ex-
cellent Sider, the Peach we have in
divers kinds, and very good, and in
great abundance, The Vine (of sev-
erall sorts and the signe with us of
rich land) is very fruitful], and tho
not sosweet as some I have eaten in
Europe, yet if makes a good wine,
and the worst, goéd vinegar. (f.
216b.) I have observed three sorts,
the Great grape that has yreen, red,
and black, all ripe on the same tree,
the muskedell and black little grape,
which is. the best, and may be im-
prov'd to an excellent wine. Thes
are spontaneous. Of Cattle, we
have the horse, not very handsome,
but good. Cow Cattle and hogs in
much plenty, and sheep encrease
apace.
Our town of Philadelphia is seat-
ed between two navigable rivers,
haveing from 4 to 10 fathom wa-
ter, about 150 houses up in one
yeare, and 400 country settlements,
thus do we labour to render our.
selves an industreous Colony, to the
honour and benefitt of the Crown,
as well as our own comfort and ad-
vantage, and lett there not be sep-
erated, say I."Notes and Queries.

This Suits All Papers,
The man, who will borrow his neigh-
borTs paper and read it every week, is
cheating the newspaper man out of his
labor. Editors have to live on what
their papers bring to them, and any
one who will habitually read a borrow�
ed paper, gets the product of the editor
without paying for it, and is not one
whit better than the man who borrows
corn from his neighbor's field and never
pays it back. Are you guilty of this?
If so, stop it, send us a doliar and get
