Mr.. Mead, who owns dam and mill at the
forks of Black river, is now absent from home,
and had left in charge his wife and an adopted
daughter, Ellen. The drivers of the logging
firm of Whitcomb, Morse & Morgan, about
fifty in number, came down and found some
logs in Mead's dam with the mark of their
company upon them; whereupon they set to
work with axes to cut the dam away. Mrs.
Mead, hearing the row, hastened out, follow.

heavy buckshot and the other with balls, and
taking favorable position, they cooked their
pieces, pointed them at the men, and told
them not to strike another blow, or some Of
them would be dead menl The choppers in
continently left Mrs. Mead then agreed to
compensate them for all the logs that might
be in the dam belonging to them.
Subsequently the drivers seized young
man in the employ of Mr. Mead whom they
charged with stealing some provisions be-
longing to the drivers. Ellen again sailed
out, rifle in hand, and told them not to hurt
hair of his head, and they didn't They

a celebrasion a. few weeks ago., which was
not so we'll attended, except by those who
are friendly to, the Order, owing to its
being a bHsy time with the farmers, but
was tolerably we'll attended by the ladies,
who manifest considerable interest in the
temperance reform. in,this.section. Broth
er r. L. Alternately, the. ID. c. w. z. OF
Burke, was present and gave us speech,
after which the Division held a meeting
aud initiated swo,. We adjourned to meet
at candle-ligbt where We were addressed
by Brothers Wesley Raby,, of Catawba
and G. N. Setslemyer. of Burke, and final.
ly by Il. l.. Alternately. who made one o.
his happiest efforts !; after which, one gen

Mr.. EDrToR:-We have herd i sid

preached and taught. do hold that there
is no doctrine of the word of God which a
child, if he be capable of Salvation, is not.
capable of receiving. In fact, children are
capable Of understanding some things in.
early life, which we hardly understand af-
terwards. He who receives things simply,
as child, will often have ideas which the
man, who is prone to make syllogism of
everything, will never attain unto.
My dear friends, beseech you, never
treat infant piety with suspicion. Good old
David said, "Come, ye children, hearken
unto me: l will teach you the fear of the
Lord" One great fault in many Of our
Churches is that the children are left to
the young people to take care of-the old
er members stand aside and look on, and
never speak word of encouragement to
the young.
Teachers, let me speak to you a little
while. Some may say you are a mere
Sabbath School teacher; but you are no.

Why don't YOU Learn a. Trade?

We clip the following from the Mays
vile Eagle, hoping that it will not only be
persued, but that the absurd ideas formed
by most young men of the non-respecta-
bility of trade, will be at once and forcv-
er banished from their minds
Thequestion spropounded in our hear
ing, few days since, to a young man who
had been for several months unsuccessful
ly seeking employment As clerk or sales
man in some of our leading houses. Com
planning of his i'll luck, one of his friends
who knew he had mechanical talent, bst
doubted whether he could make himself
useful either as clerk or salesman, nut
the interrcgatory to him which We nave
placed as the caption of this article The
reply was, mot so respectable as a mercan-
tile occupation" Under this delusiye idea
our stores are crowded. with young men who
have no capacity for business, and who, be-
cause Of the fancied respectabiity of doing
nothing, waste away their minority upon
salaries which cannot possibly liquidate
their expenditures.
Late, toe late in life, they discover their
error, and before they reach the age Of
thirty, many of them look with envy up
on the thrifty mechanic, whom in the
days Of their boyhood, they were accus.
toned to deride. The false responsibility
which prevails in the soi disant fashionable
society of the present day, has ruined thou
sands Of young men and will ruin thou
sands more.

A few Of the Reasons why we are so
Ignorant

According to the census of 1850, there
was more ignorance in North Carolina, in
proportion to population, than in any 9TH
er State in the Union. That this should
be the case in one of the oldest sisters of
the Confederacy, is discreditable; and should
arouse in the people determination to
make themselves at least equal to the peo-
pie Of other States in an educational point
of view. But before they can put them
selves upon an equality with others in this
respect, they will have to pursue different
course from what has heretofore been pur-
sued.
In the first place, parents must not ex-
pect to have their children prepared for
practical business, merely by sending them
to free school for short time in each
year. They must expect to pay something
more than few cents school-tax, if they
would have their sons and daughters prop
erly educated. The system of Common
Schools, were it ever so we'll managed,
would not suffice to educate the boys and
girls Of the present day as they should be.
Secondly, none but competent teachers
should be employed. mean men of un-
exceptionable character, who are we'll versed
in all the branches Of good practical ed
ucation. Too many Teachers now employ.
ed, are mere humbugs, whose main object
is the public fund. They deceive both pa.
rents and children. They drag the chill
dren along from one branch of learning tc
another,-have boys studying, or rathe
'going over," Algebra, Grammar, or SOM
other high branch, before they understan,
the spelling book. And all the time the,
tell the parents how wonderfully smar
r their children are. So far has this specie
of deception been carried, that in some in
stances, when man of thoroughness hs
been employed, the children show dispc
sition to be impatient, and even disobedien
because they are not permitted to run owe
: their lessons without learning them. Til
{ discipline of our schools is very often
: reason why nothing of Importance is a
e complished.. Young America does as h
n pleases at home, and therefore must I;
Y School. And should the teacher unde
take to keep order, he very often, by
S doing, loses the good will Of his employer
!. if not his situation. s......
h Another hindrance TO success in Schoo
r is the want Of proper School Books
lSome people, who are, if occasion requir
4 it, able to buy whiskey, tobacco, tickets f
o "a Circus, or superAuous articles of clothin

The Late Terrible Accident Horrible
Scenes.

w. J. Hawks, ESQ.,, of fCharlestown, Va,
furnishes the Free Press with thrilling
account Of the late horrible accident on
the Southern Michigan railroad. Mr.
Hawks, after stating that he was passen-
ger, and that he was swept forty Yards
down the stream from where the train was
precipitated into it, says:
On reaching the shore stumbled over a
nan-turned and found him alive. I
asked him his nasne. he repEied %Wal-
worth" could not raise him, and went
to the cars for assistance, passing ten OF
twelve dead bodies on the beach. Arri-
wing at the wreck, | found some one had
procured alight-returned and found Wal
worth dead. He was large, fine looking
old gentleman. / afterwards assisted his
son in his last moments.
The first thing that arrested my atten-
ton on entering the car that | had left,
was, that was standing on pile of dead
bodies. One man thought alive and ga
ing into my face. | turned the lamp
around, and the glazed eye of death told
me that all was over. A lady had her
arm clasped around his neck, with a fright
ful wound in her head, her feet caught and
crushed in the wheels of the car. At their
feet lay a beautiful boy, with his head Sc
vered from his body az close as it could
have been done by the guillotine. Some
were just in the pangs of death. Others,
caught and crushed by the falling timbers,
begged me to kill them and put them out
of their misery. There was young lady
going to meet her husband, with her daugh-
ter six years old, and a babe at the breast.
The mother and little girl were killed.
The mother had clasped the babe in such,
a manner that it was unhurt
The ground was strewed with heads,
arms, legs and dead bodies. | saw sever
al with their backs broken and their lower
limbs paralyzed writhing in the sand
Some of them would clutch me as passed,
with grasp from which it was almost im-
possible to free myself Several beautiful
boys and girls were taken from the water
and laid upon the bank. They were
drowned, but looked beautiful in DEATH
Others were crushed between the Wheels
with their faces and hands up turned in a
suppllcating manner. | passed wo-
man who begged me to find her children.
She was crying, 'tOh, my dear fami!y!-
Oh my six children" Both of her legs
were crushed off below the knee. She
lived ten or fifteen minutes. afterwards
assisted 10 taking two Of her children from
the wreck dead. Two more fine 5ovsyoi
hers found-one with his leg cut off, the
the other had lost an arm, aud both were

RALEIGH, NORTH CARoLI

will send them to school with pieces of edi-
tons of books and without many of the
little things necessary for schoolboy and
at the close Of the term, if not before,
abuse the teacher for not making scholars
of their children. To become learned, a
person must apply himself assiduously, and
for long time. In these days of tele-
graph, fast travelling, fast horses, and fast
yeung men, people want to be alse fast in
educating and being educated. But to be
fast in learning is to be imperfect.
The irregularity in attendance at school
is another, and one of the greatest obsta-
cles IN the teachers way. Some persons
sppear to think that if they have sent their
children to school few weeks during The
winter, they have done very well; and as
soon as spring comes they must leave
school and 60 to work. The consequence
is, when they enter school again they have
to begin at, or near, where they began be-
fore, and such being the case, they neuer
make much progress.
But do lot wish to convey the idea
that the School-room is the only place
where children can be taught. On the
contrary, l look upon home as the proper
place for training, and the parents as the
persons who ought to be the main instruc-
tors. But while many of them are so un-
qualified and careless, the teachers will
have to be depended upon; and this being
the case, if we would raise the standard o1
education in the "Old North State" we
must employ none but good teachers, fur.
nish the proper books, and send to school
right. There must be unity among the
parents. They must not let sectarianisn
enter their Schools. They must join in q
gederal crusade against ignorance. Ifthey
do this they will prevail
