CENSUS OF 1s6o.-;The population Of Raleigh, just
enumerated and returned by deputy Marshal Scar
borough is 3,24O whites and free persons of color,
and 1923 slaves--maSing in all 1853. The total
population in 1850 was 4,51s. showing gain of
only 34, and that too with the recent extension of
the limits of the city. In 1850 the white and free
coored population was 2,7O9, and that of slaves
1909. There has, therefore, been gain of 591
white and free colored population and loss of 1856
slave population
We think it probable from what we have learned,
that the total population of the State will foot up
about 100000. Nearly all the counties will show
considerable increase of population. Wake coun-
y will reach about 10000, showing an increase Of
5000, while Lenoir, Warren, Henderson and many
other counties will show large increase over 1850.

4 LADY Rescued from the Sarages

A letter from Tuscan, Arlzo-
na Territory, gives the follow
ing information respecting the
rescue Of Mrs. Page, recently
carried of BY the Indians:
Mrs. Page is still alive, no lon
ger the Indians and she has
passed through ac, ual trials,
hardships and difficulties during
the last fortnight, exceeding in
thrilling interest the most hlsh>
ly wrought pages Of felton,
Last night a messenger arrived
here from the Santa Rita Pin
ery, with a letter from Mr.. John
Page, stating that his wife had
come in alive, after enduring
almost incredible trials, Mr..
Page Immediately set out, ac-
eompainied by a physician, and
everything possible will be
done for her relief. 1t seems
from what we can learn, that
Mrs. Page, probably the day
following her seizure by the
Indians, finding tina, her friends
were on the trail, refused to go
on, and her savage masters lan>
ced her in several places, and
left her for dead. Alter some
time she revived to find herself
weak from the loss Of blood,
foot sore from her previous
trails, without food, and miles
from any habitation. What a
position for a young woman OF
eighteen summers-a bride OF
two months-whose life was all
sunsbine' Through all these
trials Mrs. Page struggled for
two weeks and dragged her en-
icated form by degrees toward
the home from which she so
lately been rudely torn ruthless
sasayes. No one suspected
her presence in the mountain
and those who were looking
for intelligence from her thought
she was miles away amid the
hsunts Of the red men. How
she was enabled to suffer so
much and reach home at length,
p almost incomprehensible.

Cure for Cancer. Mr.. Thorn

Cure for Cancer. Mr.. Thom-
as Anderson gives the follow
ing receipt for cancer, which
he says, has been Of great SER
viz in several dangerous ca
ses:
"Boil fine Turkey figs in new
milk, which they will thicken;
when they are tender, split and
apply them as warm as they
can be borne 10 the part affect
ed. whether broken or not; the
part must be washed every
time the p9ultices is changed
with some Of the milk, use a
fresh poullice every morningand
at feast once during the day
and drink a quarter of a pint Of
milk the figs are boiled in twice
in the twenty-four houres. If
the stomach will bear it must
be preserved in for three or
four months at least. A man
$50 was cured about six years
before his death, with only six
pounds of figs. The cancer
began at the corner Of his..mouth
had eaten through his jaw,
cheek, and half way down his
throat; yet he was SO perfectly
cured as never 10 show any
tendency to return. Should
any again be applied. The frs.
application gives a great deal
Of pain, but afterwards each
dressing gives relief.
A woman cured by this rem
edy had been afflicted ten years

pounds cured her" ."-LonIOn

A SURE CtnE.-Singular
that some people make so much
fuss about corns when they
can be so efectually cured
The following is a certain
cure:
The most tormenting corn can
be extirpated thus,-Take a
sharp knife, find the joint Of
the toe whereon the corn re-
side, insert the knife in the ar
ticulation, pry Of the Toe and
throw it away. 1t will never
return again, unless your dog
brings it back to you in his
chops. (Patent applied for.)

TwENTY-ONE ORPHANS
POISONED. The Lexington

(ky.) Observer says:
A case of accidental poison
ing occurred in this city on We'd
nesday morning, which endan-
gered the lives OF a large mum"
Der oflittle children. a quan>
,iry of arsenic had been pur-
chased to destroy rats at the
Orphan Asylum, which was
mixed with meal upon plate.
The matron being unwell that
morning,told one of the children
to give out the breakfast. In so
doing she ignorantly used the
plate upon which the arsenic
had been placed. in taking from
a barrel the meal upon which
to make the bread. Twenty
one children, together with the
matron, partook of the reFast
thus prepared, and all were at
once seized with sickness and
vommitting, some before leav>
the table. DR.. J. Darby, the
physician to the institution Was
Immediately called in, who ad-
minisiered the proper an'idotes,
and by unremitting attention
has fortunately succeeded in
saving all who partook OF the
poisoned food. 9

boy of seven summers old.

Much to young, madam, to

fession. But why do you sup
pose this boy better calculated
TO make a lawyer than J our old
er sons what are his peculiar
qualifications ?"
"Oh, well see sir, he is just
seven years old to-day; when
he was only five he would lie
like the devil when he got to
be six, he was sassy and impu-
den; as any critter could be !;
and now he will steal every
thing he can lay his hands upon.
Now, if he amt fit for a law

The boys say, he threw it too
hard and it went further than
he int nded-right through a
parlor window. All The boys
shouted, "There you'll catch it
now. Run Bill, rum" They
then took to their heels. But
the brave William slraightened
up and looked sober, as he
said, III shall not run. He than
started directly for the house
where the window had been
broken. lie rang at line d0Or,
acknowledged what he had
done, and expressed his regret
He then gave his name and the
name Of his father, aud his faith

the injury should be repaird.
Was not that noble? That
ih0! fc@a true courage. It is
coacardice that would lead a boy
when he has done an injury
like that, TO sneak away and
run to conceal it. How noble
and brave it is to see a boy COM
fess a fault, and not be afraid 10
face the consequence!
Give us William, whenever
any real bravery is called for,

who cried out, "Run Bill, run,

rest will sneak Wellspring.

A rRIEs D has sent the edi-'
tor of the Richmond Enquirer
a bottle of wine said TO be 223
years old. Supposing that it
cost originally 80 cents, that the
bottle, calculating the interest
and adding it annually, would
be worth S7,ss4,7l9.2S.-
There is good moral in this
story, showing that a small a.
mount invested in property and
judiciously managed, grows to
an enormous sum at compound
interest in few a years. Many
