CONCLUSION NEXT WEEK.

Bank Indicted. Last week, the Grand
Jury of Cumberland county, brought in
"a true bilP' of indictment against the
Bank of Fayetteville, for issuing small
notes. They did this under express in
structions of the Court that thew were NOT
to judge of the law, but simply of the
fact, of such issue. The case is to be car.
ried before the Supreme Court.
Curious Incident. A mother and her
daughter, who resided in the same bouse
In Albany, N. Y, were confined on the
same day, last week, each having a son.
The babies were both put in the same era
die, but by some means the nurses became
confused, and neither they nor the mothers
could distinguish between the bsbies, nor
tell which was the mothers, nor which
the daughters child. The families are in
great distress about the matter.
MosT MELANCHOLY AccIDENT.-Our town
and community was much shocked on last
Saturday evening by the intelligence that
David b. Houston had accidentally fallen
into the Fly wheel of a Steam saw mill. some
three miles east of town, and was instantly
crushed to death. Mr.. Houston lived inst
out of town and mingled daily with our
citizens. He was most energetic and upright
in all tae walks of life, respected and loved
by all who knew him. His parents, upwards
of 30, are still living, and it was to him thew
looked for support and comfort. See res.

more, and it shall be lfagain. Our

determined shall characterize the pa

rollers, too, were negligently laid
where the sun shone on them and melt

press off the first side, which has
caused quite a delay, and failure to

signed for publication in this issue.-

are excusable this time. PUBS.

TIE GREAT VARIETY PANoRAMA.-We
are not of those who puff everything
that comes along, but must be permit
ted to express our admiration Of this
wonderful perfection Of the art of
painting. 1t has been much praised
by the press, and we confess we were
not without prejudice before seeing the
exhibition but they were entirely re-
moved. No persons who have any taste
for this branch of the fine arts should
deny themselves the pleasure of wit
Messing this collection Of paintings
1t is no humbug, but just what it pro-
tesses to be, and what the press gener-
ally say of it. 1t deserves the en-
enlargement of a liberal and enlght-
ened public.

of the Italian muse, while a swarthy

how beautifully blue above U.S.

much we thank thee for your strains.
But now so sadly wall the Chords
Some wild melancholy has come over
thy soul. What a pity that care
should ever follow one so kind as you.
All is gloomy and dark, a cloud over

flowers weep tears. We see small cir
Gle of silver; it rings at thy feet; It's a
talisman; what a change; now higher
wilder, bolder grows the strain; dark
ness disappears and the golden age
begins anew; tyrants, oppression,
wrongs, are all forgotten, and home
is in thy heart again. Go on, child O.
song, with joy in thy soul and glad
ness jeweling those dark eyes with Il
lustre that sparkles native in no Other
cline. But now thy harp is silent I'M
der the burden of song; those eyes
look round, bright with some fono
dream that plays at the heart; it quiv'

fondness feels;" ah, it speaks: One
