The Gold Mines of North Carolina.

At the last meeting of the Boston Natu-
raj Historical Society, DR.. c. I. Jackson
cave an account of his recent visit to the
cold mines of Guidford, Davidson and Mont
gomery, North Carolina:
"The veins are in argillaceous slate. In
the Guildford mines, originally opened tor
cold. which occurs in the decomposed rock
o. on the sides of the vein, copper ore is found
at the contact of granite with arglllaceous
slate. There is also vein of quartz, with
sulphuret Of copper, eight feet thick. At
the Washington mine, Davidson county, the
ore is brown blende, with argentferous
caleua containing particles OF gold; in trying
TO drive off the zine, much silver was lost;
the old Welsh budde is now used for wash
ing, with great profit. The Steele gold mine,
in Montgomery county, is rich; the gold is
associated with the bIende and argentiferous
galena, the rock being argilaceouN slate with
veins of quartz; this is richer than most of
the California Gold veins; before being wash
ed its value may be estimated safely at from
$500 to $500 ton. North Carolina is a
remarkable mineral State, though mining
is not generally carried on by the people,
who follow agricultural pursuits, and only
wash out a little gold as an exceptional EN-.
ployment, and with the rudest instruments.

Nice Questions in a Divorce Suit.

On Saturday last, in the Twelfth District
Court, the divorce suit of Winfred Green
field as. John Greenfield came up on a mo-
ton by plaintiff for decree of divorce.
The ground was that the evidence taken be-
fore the referee had proved that her husband
had treated her with "eXtreme cruelty."-
The referee, however, had reported that in
his opinion no such cruelty had been proved,
and that plaintiff was not entitled to d.
vorce. 1t appeared that the only act of NAL
treatment or actual cruelty attempted to be
proven was, that her husband had kicked or
pushed her out of bed, and that in the fall
She bruised her knees so that they were made
black and blue. T. only proof Of this act
was that the plaintiff had told female friend
that her husband had thus ilI-reated her,
and had also exhibited her knees which were
slightly bruised.
The defendants attorney claimed that evil
.dence Of Il wifes own statements against her
husband were not admissible, for in that way
the plaintiff could make as much and as
strong testimony as she pleased in her own
favor He then gravely submitted to the
consideration of the Court the question,
'whether it WAS at all likely that al oriina.
nary sized woman, weighing somewhere from
l20 to 40 pounds, would fall upon her
knees at all; and next whether, if she did
so fall, the force with which she came down
would be sufficient to bruse her knees?'-
Counsel himself unhesitatincly answered both
these questions in the negative, and then in
sisted that the Judge and the Referee ought,
on account OF the improbnbilitv of the thing
alleged, reject all testimony upon that point
which would leave the case without proof Of
any cruelty whateNer.
AS tie judge is "A bachelor, these nice Ques
tions seemed to perplex him considerably,
,hut he finally disposed of them bv saving,
that AS it was clear from the other testimony
that the plaintiff had given her husband cause
for jealousy, under tie circumstances it made
no matter whether her husband had pushed
her out Of bed or not, or how size feI!---as
that was not snch cruelty as would entlIe
her to divorce and he would deny her APP
pIicat on, which he ACCORDINGLY did.
