Il I'm growing very tired of being called
to account for the sins of another said Mary
Alton to Mr.. Lawrence, some eighteen
months after, as they stood together one
bright moonlight night within the recess of
window in her fathers hall where one or
two other young couple were assembled.
Have you received any such visitation
lately? p
TO be sureI have; every day | Am ac-
cused Of the unparalleled barbarity of thiev-
ing your heart away, when l am knowing all
the time the true culprit and am magnani-
nous enough not to betray her.
But then perhaps you might have been
the culprit indeed, Miss Mary, ifyou had not
doomed me to watch your cheek glow and
your eyes sparkle at the sound of another
step than mine
There is one thing certain, I will not bear
it much longer so | give you fair warming
returned the laughing girl and she turned
blushingly away. \ \
The night is entirely too beautiful to re-

any connection with the fact or not, but

Eg@ We have received some complaints
from our subscribers in distant Southern
States, on account of not receiving the Age
for weeks together. The fault has not been
with us-the paper has been regularly sent,
but the detention has been owing, we pre-
sume, to the prevalence of yellow fever in
Augusta, Geo., and the Post Office Clerks
all DESERVING their posts, the Postmaster was
unable to distribute the mails and forward
them on their respective routes +; consequent
ly a very large amount of mail matter accu-
INFLATED there and remained for weeks before
being forwarded. The fever has now disap-
peared from Augusta, and we presume all
mail matter will be regularly forwarded here
after.

The Memorials.

We have been several times asked-"What
is to be done with the Memorials after sigma
lures have been procured to whom are they
to be sent 2" To all such we would simply
say-the best and surest way is, to hand or
send them to the members of the Legislature
from their respective counties. No member,
whatever may be his personal views relative
to the matter, will decline presenting a re-
spectful memorial from his constituents to
the General Assembly. Let this, then, be
considered as agreed upon, and every one
having a Memorial in his hands, either give
it to a Representative from his county before
he leaves for Raleigh or if this be omitted,
let it be sent on to him after he shall get
here.

BGn We learn that the Proposals for State
Stocks, under the recent advertisement of
the Treasurer, were opened at his Office on
the 18th, in presence of the officers of State
and the President of the Bank of the State
and that the sales were made at an average
OF a fraction over one and a half per cent
This is as good a sale as could have been ex-
pected, considering the ~stringency in the
money market.
COMMON SCHOOLS. The President and Di-
reetors OF the Literary Fund have resolved
to distribute for Common School purposes
the present Fall, the same amount, ninety
thousand four hundred and twenty-five dol
lars and four cents, that was distributed in
the Spring.
Ss- John Broadway, one of the members
eject to the Commons from Arson, County,

It gives us great pleasure to record the re-
markable sobriety and good order that pre-
vailed among the immense thrOng that visi-.
ted our City during the week OF the State
Fair. Notwithstanding thousands were here
eongregated, of every description OF people,
we saw but two or three drunken mon and
heard of no acts of violence or disorder dn-
ring the whole week. On the Fair GrounGs
not a single intoxicated individual was to lie
SEEN and everything passed off with perfect
decorum and propriety. To the excellent
judgment and discretion of the Executive and
arrangement Committee, in prohibiting the
introduction of all intoxicating drinks from
ehe urounds, were the public indebted for
the excellent order that prevailed, and we
nave no doubt that the good effects of this ar
rangement will cause a general rule Of the
same character to be observed in holding the
Fairs in the future.
Such conduct is a matter for eongratpla-
ton by all good eitizens-an honor to tho
State and to the thousands of people assem-
bled-and renders manifest the change IN
public sentiment and common practice rela-
tive to the use and sale Of intoxicating drinks.
and clearly establishes the fact that they are
not necessary to hilarious endowment and
friendly greetings, There was doubtless some
dissipation among the vast crowd, but # was
concealed IN a very great measure from the
public eye and we think we may safely
, say nothing like such a crowd was ever CON.
gregated together in the State before, where
4 so much sobriety and good order prevailed

FRUTTs.--In the ncighborhood of Washing
ton, waste lands are abundant the soil is well
adapted to the production Of many kinds OF
fruits, and the climate is also favorable: and
yet but little fruit is grown here Oar best
fruits, and almost all our winter supplies, arc
brought from the North, from the region whence
our ice is brought! We commend the follow
ing words Of encouragement to the notice Of
our readers:
"Six years ago, an honest hard working
man, went from the vicinity Of Norwich, Corn,
out TO the far West. He had in his pocket
a small capital Of only four hundred dollars
which he had carefully husbandcd against
rainy day. On arriving at his place of des.
tination, he wisely purchased himself snug
little farm, which he stocked AZ much an it
could bear--not with wheat corn, sheep, or
cattle but with peach trees His neighbors
no doubt, thought him foolish and visionary ;
but he kept his own counsel. His second crop
Of peaches yielded him enough to pay for his
land, and leave him gain of four hundred
dollars besides. But this year his immense
peach orchards yield him, at the least calcula-
ton, clear profit Of thirty thousand dollars"
