A SMALL BUs1NEss.-DaVid Reid, the know no.
thing candidate, we see by the Wilmington Journal,
has been trying to make little capital for himself
and party at our expense. In Dupln county he
stated that the editor of this paper had been raised
by Mr.. Bayne, Catholic, and had, no doubt, imbbed
much of his feelings or opinions" Mr.. Reid must
have known at the time he was making the state
ment that Mr.. Bayne, once the editor of the Carroll

bound to think that he has resorted to this kind of
electoneering for the purpose of iniuring US with
Protestants and gaining few votes for himself. 1t
is we'll known IN this community that VIM H. Bayne
was not an admlrsr of the Catholic church-that he
dlslked the priests of that church so much that he
would not consent for one of them to read PRAYERS
lover him during his sickness. Yet Mr. Reid is going
through the country asserting that Is Bayne was a
Catholic and that the present editor of the CaroIini-

business, indeed
We are not sectarian bigot in religious matters -
We can see something to admire in all the different
christian creeds, and believe there are some good

we can to uphold religious freedom guaranteed BIZ

Mrs ROBINSON, THE MURDER ESs--f1er C0nlnlsld.
ffogl of Sentence-The news OF the commutatlon OF
the sentence of Mrs. Robinson was communicated 20
her this morning. She exhibited no signs OF gram.
cation on the reception of the intelligence, Dut on
the contrary, became greatly excited and raved and
rallied against the Governor, sheriff. Judge, district
attorney &c., she has been wont to do on all pre-
vious occasions when strangers were present, or
when exciting news were communicated to her.
She remarked that she thought the Governor had
been imposed upon that he was fool for listening
70 the marvellous tales and stories of those pretend
ing TO be her friends and that she thought it was
lust as disgraceu to be sent TO prison as it was to
be exc euted on the gallows! 1t may be proper 10
state that she has been longing for execution ever
since her sentence and has stated on many occasions
that she would be hung any how
She has been making preparations Tor leaving the
Jail all morning. On going up to her cell al hooh'
with her dinner, it discovered that she mad near
" every article of furniture Chat could beg broken
up, ard piled near the centre OF the room Ah the
straw and husks were taken from the beds and
thrown on the top Her leather trunks were torn to
pieces her clothes press broken and roaring fire
had been started in the stove with Of the bro
ken furniture. =,
On being questioned why she thus acted, she said
il was none of their business; that she knew; she
was not going to leave anything belonging TO her al
ter her. &c. 1t is supposed her Intentions were tc
set fire the Jail, by which means sht undoubtedly
intended 10 destroy herself
As soon as the discovery made, the Sheriff
had her cell cleared of every article that could he
consumed, and watch was put on her operations
When asked where she would sleep after destroying
her bed, she said she could probably sleep on the
floor. Mis-. Robinson endeavored to poison woman
against whom she had momentary spite She put
arsenic into some ale to give her intended victim to
drink, and offered the poisonous beverage also TO a
man and woman present, who were comparative
strangers to her The two latter died, and her VIC
tim escaped.
! She had been bad girl, and her after life was
worse Evil associates bad corrupted her; drugs and
drink and vicious passions had demosalized her, and
she was intellectually well as morally wreck.
The Sheriff did not receive the Communication papers
until about to-day. 1t is his intention to take
her Immediately TO Sing Sing, in the first train south
which leaves the depot at 1876 this afternoon.
Sheriff Price had intended removing her Satur-
day morning but did not receive the warrant in sea-

Why do Teeth decay.

All the theories that again and again have been
advanced in answer to this inquiry have long since
vanished before the true doctrine of the action of ex-
ternal corrosive age IT'S The great and all po erful
destroyer of the human teeth il acid, vegetable or
mineral and it matters not whether that acid is
formed III the mouth by the decomposition of parti-
cles of food left around and between the teeth or
whether it is applied directly to the organs them
selves the result is the same the enamel is dissolved
corroded, and the tooth destroyed Much, very much
of the decay teeth may be attributed to the corro
sive effects of associate acid, which is not only in
common use u Condiment in the form of vinegar
but ii is generated by the decay Ind decomposition
of any and every variety of vegetable matter
| When we consider how very few persons, COM
paratvely, take especial pains to every par
tice of food from between and around their teeth i'm
medlately after eating We wonder that diseased
teeth are so frequently deplored ?-Erchange
The above does not afford good reason why the
teeth of people subject TO early decay, in
comparison with the teeth of the people of some
other countries It is generally allowed that there is
work for five times the number Of dentists in the
| United States than thee is in Britain and that
while bad teeth is the exception there it is the rule
here.
| We believe that people take moro pains with
their teeth by washing than the natives of Ireland
and yet the Irish have far better teeth Acetc acid
cannot be the cause OF this early decay of teeth
among us; indeed know it is not There is nc
subject OF more Importance Than this for if the
early decay of teeth among people is not the re-
suit OF i'll health, we all know that bad teeth are
injurious to health. The health of people is cues
ton of the very first importance; it is of more con
sequence than any other. 1t is our opinion that il
more coarse hard biscuit eaten in early lie tC
exercise the teeth, they would be less liable to early
4 decay. The very form OF some OF our teeth are
adapted to grinding and if not properly exercised
they must become tender and delicate.

SebUSfOnnI.

The editors OF all the newspapers in this county,
under eternal debt of gratitude to the empe-
of Russia, for building such fortress as that of
Sebasopol, which has not only given ample occupa

nine months, but furnished inexhaustible topic to
the whole editorial fraternity of the United States

durance and courage, that forty thousand soldiers
should longer maintain themselves against such an

allies, even though that army be, as the Russians
justly say, can army OF lions led by donkeys" We
are prepared to hear that some of the defences of
Sebastopo will fall before generals who are ready to
purchase every tower at the price of len thousand
men. But we devouty wish that old Goltschakoff
would manage to hold out till the next session of the
Legislature ami of Congress. We shall at that time
