ingredients for his nice morning dram. 1t
was well favored and for a fortnight the pre-
~scription was strictly attended to. Perhaps
it became more and more palatable every
morning, without the patient perceiving it
About the expiration of that time, one morn
ing he jumped out of bed, and with most in
ordinate haste, commenced dressing as if the
house were on fire. No startling cry was
however heard, and yet, it would nave been
amusing to have seen the urgent hurry he
manifested in getting on his pants. Quick
as thought his cravat was adjusted, and his
comb and brush were applied in hot haste in
arranging his hair. "What," said he to him
self, am in such a hurry about ~ No
urgent client demanded his immediate atten-
ton to business, mo cause of alarm disturbed
him, and yet in spite of the total absence of
any urgent claim, he was nearly crazy to get
his clothes on. Immediately he solved che
problem thus "It is simply to get the
dram. 1t is about to become my MASTER
I oiU not be its shUe, and from this moment,

Ply decision. He quietly passed out of his
room but said nothing. At breakfast his
thoughtful wife said to him, "Mr. -, you
have forgotten your dram" "No, madam, ]
have not" said he, "but, wife, did you not OBJ
serve my extreme haste to get on my clothes
this mornings found it was to get the
dram; | saw it was about to master me, anC
| have resolved never to touch it." And hi
did not. To this day, he is a bright, if not
rare example, of a sober, wise and excellen

A Wise Decision.

We have heard an anecdote of an stimabi
gentleman, then a practising lawyer, but now
one Of the best examples of a wise, christian
judge, in our State, which we have not seen
in print, but it is too good to be lost.
Many years ago, while busily pursuing the
practice Of his profession, he contracted that
ugly and u~nmanageable disease, "chill and
fever" which infests the swamps and streams
Of our country. Various remedies were sug-
gcsted and tried, but all to no purpose. AT
length his physician, who had no temperance
scruples, advised the regular use of a morn
ing DRAM as the only possible means Of
cradicating the disease. His patient was q
man Of temperate habits, but having no fears
that he would be in any danger from the pre-
%cription, immediately procured the necessar!

GREAT HAIL SToNEs.-Isaac Winston, ESQ.,,
in a letter to the Editor of the Biblical Recor-
der, of this city, dated "Holly Springs, Frank
lin county, N. c., May Is, says:
One of the greatest hail storms fell in this
vicinity about sunset on the 18th inst. that I
ever aw. It's width was about two miles
and its length six. The earth was entirely
covered with hail-stones. In many places
where it drifted up, I measured it after it was
done falling, and found it to be IL inches deep.
And next day, at the time of penning these
lines, 2 o'clock P. NJ, the hail is six inches
deep in some places, although the wind blew
with such violence that it uprooted trees and
overturned the fences before it. The hail
shattered all the window Stats that came in
its range, beat down all the cotton level with
the earth, and cut the wheat into fragments,
and every other thing that cam within its
power. In the woods and under the fruit
trees, the ground is covered with the twigs
and leaves that were beaten off by the hail
The hailstones were about the size of par
fridge eggs and some larger. They fell with
great violence for about thirty minutes, &C
companied with a heavy rain that greatly
washed the land.
l am now in my Gath year, and can say il
truth, that | never saw such a hail storm be

TENNEssEE.-Bro. j. II. McTerran, writing
from Manlyville, Tenn, informs us of the
formation of a new Division, called Beech
Grove in Benton County, Tenn. He says
there is a great Temperance revival in Ten
nessee. The Division above referred to, al
though just organized, has % male members
and u considerable number of Lady Visitors.
Success attend them. Bro. McT.'s letter has
been nearly a month getting to Raleigh
Great Mail facilities.
TENNESSEE. A friend writing from Mari,
boro', Carroll Co, Tennessee, writes:
The cause of Temperance is progressing
in this section of country. Bro. Hutchinson,
the celebrated blind Lecturer of the South
Kentucky Grand Division, is lecturing il
this portion Of the State at present, and is &C
complishing much good. He lectured for u'
at this place on the Bird and 4th of May, anC
we have had several limitations. 1t is no
necessary for me to pass any oulogy upoi
Bro. Hutchisou's lectures, because he ha
travelled over thirteen different States, and

the good fortune to hear him. 1t would b
better for us if we had more such men in thu
field. If we had, we would see the caus
progressing faster, and would soon have tn
satisfaction of seeing our noble Order place

proudly occupied. Our Division at this plac
is in fine condition, and is accomplishin

MEETING OF RAILROAD PREsIDENTs.-A
meeting of the Presidents Of the various Rail-
roads in this State was held in this City on
Tuesday last, in response to the suggestion
of the Board of Internal Improvements, to
make such arrangements as might be deemed
practicable and advisable to establish a sys-
tenn of through freights.
We learn that Mr.. Ashe, of the Whining
ton and Weldon Road, Mr.. Whitford, of the
Atlantic and North Carolina Road, Mr.. Fisher
of the North Carolina Road, and Mr.. Pearson
of Western North Carolina Road, were in
attendance. Mr.. Wilder, of the Raleigh and
CASTOR Road, was unavoidably absent on bu-
siness in the South. His Excellency Gov.
Ellis, President er-obiciO of the Board of In
ternal improvements, was present, IN con-
ference with the Presidents mentioned.
We learn that important arrangements and
regulations were agreed upon, after full con-
sideration and that the officers of the Roads
evinced every disposition to conform to the
suggestions of the Board of Internal Improve
ments, and thus afford to the public and to
business men all practicable dispatch and con
~venience in the transportation OF articles
We record this result with much pleasure
and we avail ourselves of this occasion to eX'
press the opinion, founded on close observa
ton and on some knowledge of the various
Railroads in this State, that more faithful OF
fcers could not be found than Messrs. Ashe
Whitford, Fisher, Pearson, and Wilder.
We learn that the arrangements and regu
lations referred to, will be published at al
early day.-Stdnddrd.

SUMMARY OF NEWS.
State Medical Society.

The Medical Society of the State of North
Carolina held it's tenth annual meeting in the
town of Statesville, commencing on the 10th
and closing its labors on the 18th.
The number in attendance was much larger
than at any previous meeting, and the best
feeling prevailed.
DR.. Alexander, of Cabarrus, offered a prize
of fifty dollars for the best essay on the eff
fects of tobacco on the system and DIR. Man
son of Granville, offered a gold medal for the
best written essay on any medical subject
These offers were accepted by the Society.
The most important business before the
Society was the acceptance or rejection of the
charter of incorporation and the act author
ling the establishment of a Medical Board,
passed by the last Legislature. The act was
accepted, and the Society, having the appoint
ing power, elected the following gentlemen t.
constitute the Board Drs. j. Fl. Dickson
Charles E. johnson, w. H. Mckee, O. f
Manson, G. Winslow, j.. G. Tull, and Hap
poldt, of Morganton. This Board will serv'
for a term of six years.
The following gentlemen were chosen off
GERS of the Society: DR.. N. j. Pittman, o
Edgecombe, President Drs. Henry, Leach
Whitehead, and Winborne, Vice Presidents
DR.. w. G. Thomas, Secretary DIR. G.. W
Graham, Treasurer; and DIR. W. I. Howard

DEATH OF TWO VENERABLE CITIzENs.-We
learn that johnson Busbee, Esq, expired at
his residence on Wednesday morning last;
and that John Ligon, Esq, expired at his
residence on Wednesday night-both at an
advanced age. Mr.. Busbee had been declin-
ing for some time, but we learn that Ir. Lig.
on's illness was of short duration. They
were both we'll known in Wake, and were
useful and respected citizens.
Mr.. Busbee had represented the people Of
Wake in the Legislature, had served as g
Councillor of State, and was for many years
Chairman of the County Court. That tribu
nal adjourned on Thursday, as a mark of re
spect for his memory.-Standard.

SUPPOSED MURDER. We learn that the body
of a decently dressed man was seen floating
in the Cape Fear River near AVerasboro',
sometime during the past month, and upon
being taken from the water, his throat was
found to be cut from ear to ear, and a bullet
hole through his body. As no one was mis-
sing from that neighborhood it was thought
that it was the body of som traveller, who
was robbed and murdered-Norh Caro-
Linidn.
Since the above was published, a horse has
been found in the same neighborhood, with
his throat cut, which renders it still more
probable that a murder has been committed
