MUsDER's GRAND MAY BALL.-The unpro-
pitious weather to-day has not had the effect
Of damping the enthusiasm Of the little folks
and others interested in the grand ball to-
night; and it is positively to come off, wealth

1t was discovered by the residents in the
neigh borhOod in time to prevent any serious
damage to the property.

weather did not prevent full attendance of
dealers in the various branches Of the market
this morning. Under the roof umbrellas were
ton the market is certainly very unpleasant
for all those who have business there.

Justice d. Smith a few days since, is likely to

"Beside that fresh turf knelt down and
offered. as I trust, the prayer OF faith.
was there relieved and strengthened, too
Bessie" said aunt Ruth, as she laid her
hand ,cnderly upon that young head bowed
down upon her lap. Poor Bess'e's tear'
had long been flowing, and now her griel
seemed uncomfortable. Nor did her aun'
attempt consolation, for she hoped there
was healing in that sorrow. s.-.l
"Pray for me!' whispered Bessie; al
lenght, looking up through her tears, she
dung her arms about her aunt; and from
full heart aunt Ruth poured out her peti'
tions in behalf OF tho weeping child. r..
That scene was never forgotten by Bessie
for, in tha; dim hour, from the depths OF
her repcutant tears, light dawned upon
her that morning. And although it had
cost aunt Ruth no. little to call up this
dark shadow from the past, yet she felt re-
paid q thousand fold for her sacrifice. For
that sweet young face, lovely as a May Morn
ing, but whoss beauty had often been marrcd
by the workings Of deceit and falsehood,
grew radiant in the clear light Of that
truthful purpose which was born in her
soul.

Professor Hedrick Mobbsd

From the Salisbury North Carolina) Re-
publican Banner. Of Oct. 2s, We take the
following-the climacteiic Of series ofout-
rages which find no parallel in the history
Of any country where freedom Of thought
and opinion were the fundamental laws Of
the land: rHE
"Our usually quiet town was the scene
Of great uproar and disordcrly conduct on
Tuesday night last. II became known that
Prof fedrick was in town rs delegate to
the Educational Convention, which was then
in session this WIS calculated to excite the
in 'ignant feelings Of rpany of our citizens,
who determined to disgrace him and compel
him to leave. An cffgy was prepared
and placed in front of the Presbyterian
church, where the Convention was in nsesslon,
and on adjournment of the Convention the
effigy was burnt in the presence of the Pro.
fessor and nearly every member OF the Con-
yention. This ought to have satisfied the
crowd, but it was onlya beginning of the
riotous proceedings. They soon collected in
large force and proceeded under much ex-
citement and with much uproar to the Fe-
male Seminary, where Prot. Hedrick was
lodging; then came tho "tug Of war"
They hallood. hised, groaned and proceeded
in most riotous and reprehenare manner
10 compel Hedrek 10 ieare to'on. The excite
ment became more intense and greater dis
order prevailed, US they preceded. The
rabble was finally quieted by the appearance
Of several Of our citizens, who prevailed up
on them to disperse. .
We regret this unfortunate occurrence as
well as every lover Of quiet, yet it was GER
tain demonstration that black Republicans
and their infamous principles cannot, nor
will not be tolerated in this goodly land Of
ours. We admire the spirit, but regret the
necessity of the manner in which the con.
demnation was made"
The passages we have italicised, coming
from such source, leaves no doubt as to
what has been the severity of that infuriat-
cd mob. The word 'goodly' in the last par
agrapb ought to have been so lily, and then
there would have been not the slightest dis
crepancy between their fanatical phrensy
and the time serving policy and Infamous
principles Of their editorial apologist.-BOs-
ION Traveller.

A HmERSIAN IDEA OF Coon MAN. In
the last six weeks nearly $1,000 foreigner
have been uaturalised in the city Of New
York. A very few appear Of their own nc
cord, but nearly all are introduced by Dem
ocratic politicians, by whom the expenses
of the operation are paid. Amusing scenes
frequently occur at tho examination; for
instance: .-H' ~ !. .I ..Fg iGH

the last two years, and every time he licked

to her with smiles, and pressed their little

No-he is with her still vigorous man

expression, with depth enough to make it
an interesting study. His foster-father is
dead his good foster-mother is aged-and
sickly, but she knowsno want. The once
poor outcasts her only dependence, and no.
