FABIAN-THE SPHINx.-Quite an excite
ment is occasioned by the wonderful per-
formances at Huston Hall of Fabian the
Wizard. He is the ne plus ultra of necro-
maneers, and always excites his audience
with wonder and admiration, His illusions
are all of the most select and rare quality,
and when he tells you to watch him close,
he rivets your attention to such an extent
that you think he is going to fail. Helaughs
in his empty sleeve at your seeming guilt
billty, aud the miracle he performs satisfies
you more than ever of the old adage that
''nothing Is but what Is not" His trick OF
the six brass rings and the tapes of red,
which his two assistant boys tie in dozens
of knots and fasten by succeeding knots
firmly to chair, is so quickly and magic
ally undone as to leave the audience in ut
ter despair for solution to unravel the mys-
terry. Fabian is immense, and we advise
every one to see him.

MISTAKEN IDENTITY : SINGULAR Cow
CAsEs.--Mr. Balzer Greylick, butcher,
charged with stealing a COW, was yesterday
acquitted and discharged. The case was
singular one. Six witnesses positively
identified the COW as belonging to the pros
ecuting witness; but the defendant, on the
other hand established by seven witnesses
two of them former owners OF the same
cow-that she belonged to him. This de-
termined the case in his favor.
This is the third case, in as many years,
In this county, of mistake In the Identity
Of COW, In which each party produced q
number of witnesses TO establish his claim.
Some years ago the two Eckcrts were
wrongfnlly charged with having stolen a
cow. and great deal of testimony was
produced against them, and In their favor.
The cow herself shortly afterward turning
up, completely vindicated the defendants.
Not more than two months ago, civil
case was tried before Squire Turner, in
which the ownership of a COW, still living,
was In dispute. Each party produced a
number of disinterested and respectable
witnesses on his side, and we are assured
that at least twenty could have been pro-
duced by either one, all OF whom would
have sworn positively in the case.
Truly three cases Of mistaken identity,
in three or four years, is rather singular,
and should warn people not to be over
confident in their claim of property, or in
the testimony they giVe-especially when
the liberty and reputatian OF fellow citi-
zen is at stake.

shares appropriated for a working capital
This company has secured by warrantee title
100, 900 acres Of valuable lands living in the
coal regions of Deep river and Dan river
These lands are valuable, not only on &C
count of surface indications of petroleum,
but also for large basins of rich bituminous
coal, besides fine veins of copper and iron.
During the late war, and at the present
time u source of great profit has been the
distillation of oil from this coal, and manu-
facturers obtain So gallons of oil from ton
of coal.
sThe North-Carolina Petroleum and Mi
ming Company have already commenced
boring in the Dan river section with very
t1attering prospects of success. The opera
lions are conducted by two experienced
Pennsylvania oil bOrers who have passed the
last five years in the business. They express
no hesitation in asserting their belief in the
presence of petroleum at no great depth and
in good quantities.
The officers of the company are Cyrus P.
Mendenhall, President E. P. Jones, Vice
President; Henry G. kellogg, Treasurer B.
