lively demands that the traffic in Intoxicating drinks
DO entirely prohibited by law. And whereas the
candidates now before tho people of Rockingham
County for a seat in the next Legislature have pos
itively refused TO act in the matter; therefore il is
tho duty Of the Patriots and every friend to his
county TO vote for candidates who will sustain a
prohibitory law.
A committee was appointed to select a suitable
candidate to represent this county in the next Leg
t%slaturei aud after SOM animating remarks on the

DEATHS.

In this City, on the goth inst, after a most protrac-
ted and severe illness, Mrs. Emeline L.. Culbreth,
wife of Rev. Daniel Culbreth, in the seth year of her
age. Mrs. C. has been well known among US and be-
loved for her many womanly and christian virtues
she was long afflicted but her patience and fortitude
never failed her.-She was for many years a devoted
member Of the M. E. church, South. Her friends
mourn theirloss, but they rejoice that she has gained
at last the rest that remaineth for the people ofGod.'
In this city, on the 18th inst, Mr.. Langdon G.
Parker, in the 9th year of his age. He was a
consistent member of Concord Division, No. l, S.
of T., and was buried with the beautiful ceremonies
of the Order.
In Granville county, on the 18th instant, Mr..
VIM. kittrell, at a very advanced age in life. AL
though prevented by age and infrmity from being
nominally a member of the Sons of Temperance,
yet the Order has not in its ranks a more jealous
advocate for the cause of Reform. He was an ex-
emplary citizen in all the domestic and social re-
lations of life and no man has died more truly la
mented by his family and ~neighhors. Though 81
lent in the tomb he viii long live in the memory of
all who knew him well.-CoM.
In Gates county, on the 18th inst, Mrs. Eliza
beth Powell, in the 6lst year of her age. The de-
ceased was an exemplary member of the Methodist
/. Church for many years, and during her mortal
pilgrimage here she demonstrated the course Of the
true and humble follower of her Saviour. And
when she was PROSTATE upon the bed of death, ii
was at her bedside that the christian could receive
f%ortitude, by hearing her express the implicit con-
fdence she had in the omnipotence of God. And
just when deaths cold hand had touched her, and
the jar of the dissolution was coming on, she said
to those standing around Il wish to 90 and be with
Jesus E.

HEALTH OF GoLDsBoRo-We deem it neces-
sary tomake a statement of facts upon the above
subject.
Reports have been circulated so exaggerated
and preiudicial to the community and the Col
lege, that parents and guardians have been alar-
med and suffer much uneasiness. To inform
them, / make a statement of facts, for Which ]
am responsible.
lst. The Dysentery has prevailed in the en-
tire community, for which we make no apol-
ogy. as the same disease has equally prevailed
in almost every part of the South.
End. While Goldsboro' has upwards of 800
inhabitants, there have been only two adult
deaths-but quite a number of children.
3rd. There have been two deaths among up.
wards of ninety students in school, one of Dys
EMERY the other of a complication of diseases
4th. There never have been but three devel-
oped cases of disease in College.
9Th. There is no case in College now, and ir
every instance in which parents have taken theil
children home they have been sick.
9Th. ! most emphatically state to parents, i
their dau ghters are sick they will be informed
of the fact, and as long as they hear nothing
from me, they may know they are well. | d.
not promise parents that their daughters viii
not sicken and die, for the issues of lite and deaf.
are in the hands OfGod, and | dare not usurp hi
prerogative in this or any other position, but
do promise to do all can to preserve their health
to prepare them for dying, and in every partlc
ular to act the part of a father and brother, an
for this, the world as God does, NAV hold m
responsible. JAS. H. BRENT.

For the Spirit of the Age.

Mr.. EDITOR: 1t is with much pleasure
that l inform you of the organization of Pitts
boro' Division, S. of L. No. 900, which was
instituted on the 9Th inst, by d. G. w. P.
VIM. Burke. w. S. Gunter was elected W.
P; and from the spirit manifested by those
initiated, we can but hope that it will not
share the fate of those preceding this, but
that it may stand as a refuge for those who
are trying to break the calling chains of In
temperance.
1t has also been my good fortune to have
the pleasure of listening to two or three adj
dresses from the Lecturer for this District,
Rev. II. I. Weatherly. / think he is well
calculated to advocate the cause in which he
is engaged, and from what l have seen and
heard, he is making a favorable impression
upon the public for the cause of temperance.
You, and the friends of the cause may rest
we'll assured that in his hands the cause of
humanity has an able advocate. He ham
dies his subject in a mastery manner, and
the memorials in his hands will have many
signatures before the meeting of the next
Legislature, and will show that he has not
been idle in the cause.
/ cannot see how any man in whose bos-
ON there is one drop Of the milk of human
kindness, or who feels for the Indebtedness
of his fellowman, ruined, degraded, and dis
graced, by the scathing, blighting and with
ering curse of alcohol, can withhold his aid
or influence in furthering this cause. They
must aid, or the Judge of all the earth will
not hold them guiltless. Let such as oppose
this cause, pause and think, reflect, and act
according to the dictates of the Bible, of Re
ligion, humanity and justice.
To the friends of the Reform, let your
watchword be onoUard and OnaoGrd eUer, until
the Old North shall be redeemed and Olsen
thralled from the liquor traffic; until the
means of the orphans shall be hushed, the
sorrowing sister relieved, the tears of the
heart-stricken wife shall be wiped away, and
the prayers of the widow answered, and un'
til from the mountains to the seashore shall
90 up one long, loud shout of Redeemed, Re
DEEMED, REDEEMED. To every Christian
Patriot and Philanthropist let me say,
f" Strike till the last armed foe expires;
Strike for your affairs and your fires;
Strike; for the green graves of your sires;
For God and your native land"
