Coon MnvE.-ln ordertn prevent a repetition
of the dissracefu scenes which are every Sunday
enacted bv the negroes and whites in Buzzard,
the Mayor has issuel Instructions tn the police
to arrest every negro except those resident in that
locality who may be found on that street on sun
day, without regard to what they may be doing
when found. We think this n very proper moyc
and the only mode by which that section Of the
city can lie regulated. Our authorities have long
been aware of the dsrespectable conduct OF the
white loafers. and negroes who have been in the
habit OF coneregating there on Sundays, and have
made numberless efforts tn prevent these things
but without avail. These gambling and drinking
fore officers reach them, the birds have
flown.
Ifthis order of the Mayor is faithfully executed
ly the police, We think the nuisance will he speed
lily abated, if not entirely removed.

Az INTERESTING FAcr.-We were informed
few days ago says the Salem Register by the
Clerk of our County that man and his wife
came to his Office recently to acknowledge a deed
that after the husband had signed it, tie wife
proceeded to sign her name, which done in
very legiblc hand. She then stated to the Clerk,
that she was sirty gears old. and until about two
years ago had never written her name anything
else. but she then determined to teach herselfto
write, which she had thus successfully accomplish
ed.
The Clerk further informed us, that since this
incident occurred, he had mentioned it to others
who were in tho condition IT the female
above mentioned until her fifty eighth year. and
that man about forty years old remarked to him.
that he had never tried to write even his name,
but nfer knowing how easily even an old person
