Thousand hcesheads here, many of which had

Many Of the citizens of Danviiie desire the

town and Richmond, and we trust they may
succeed in their efforts for this purpose. The
trade between the two places is very extensive,
and certainly demands the aid of this new

with the North Carolina Central, and through
that with the Southern roads generally, new
impulse will be given to the trade OF Danyille-
q new life will be impaired to the tobacco
manufacturing business by the increased de-
mand for the Southern and Southwestern
markets, and an increased amount of the sta
pie products of tho country beyond Danvilie
will change owners in that town, adding to the
business and general prosperity of its trade
The water power OF Danville is very great

extensive communication with the South

enterprise among them ought to become ex-

Importance Of Fish. Hooks.-A Suggestion.
Why didn't LA MOUNTAIN carry a fish-hook
and line with him upon his recent balloon
voyages The question will be considered
novel by many; but it is not so strange when
you reflect a bit. LA MOUNTAIN and HAD
DOCK descended into wilderness of Lakes
q nd Spruce" with something to drink but
nothing to eat. We positively envy them
nuIx ,,,lr In
; the midst of a forest Astounding in lakes, and
those lakes of course peopied with fine fish
fish that had not been pursued and prosecuted
by fancy fishermen until they were afraid to
show themselves; but fish that were unsus-
pscting and confiding, and ready to bite at
bait the instant it fell in the water; and yet
the Rronauts, with something to drink. were
deprived both of the exquisite sport and the
exquisite luxury of catching and eating the
superb fish that no doubt filled those lakes -
Then, why didn't they carry some fish

1t causes not the slightest inconvenience
IT could not affect the balloon and need

carried in watch-pocket; and when you have

srasshopper, cricket, or worm, you are sure
OF good meal-add to it something to drink

the very name OF a fish, and is certainly a fish,
