The trade in dried fruit, for this sea-
son, throughout this country, has been
immensely heavier than the figures of
any preceding year can show and we
lay a guinea that no county in the State
can stand shoulder to shoulder with old
Forsyth when it comes tie reckoning up
the amount of money secured by the
shipment of such produce.
E. A. Volger shipped three hundred
thousand pounds of dried apples; one
hundred thousand pounds of dried
black berries and about ten thousand
pounds of dried peaches amounting, in
all, to four hundred and ten thousand
pounds.
J. L. Fulkerson shipped twenty-five
thousand seven hundred and fifty
pounds of black berries, and forty-one
thousand pounds of apples in all, six
ty-three thousand seven hundred and
fifty pounds.
Add the two summaries, and we have
exported from Salem four hundred and
seventy-three thousand pounds of dried
fruit, which brought greenbacks into
the place to the amount of about sixty
two thousand three hundred and seven
ty-seven dollars Good.-Salene Press.

FUNERAL PRocEssIoN.-Yesterda

FUNERAL Yesterday
we saw passing through the streets one
of the largest funeral professions ever
witnessed in this city, and we may say
one of the most orderly-that of Byrd
Taylor, very respectable colored man,
and Presiding Elder in the Colored
Methodist Church. He was we'll known
in this community, and was much re-
spected for his good conduct both be-
fore and since the emancipation. He
was buried in that portion of the city
cemetery appropriated to persons of
color, and was followed by a well
dressed and orderly procession of over
500 persons. We were particularly
struck with the neat and decent appear
ance of the colored persons who fol-
lowed him to his funeral resting place.
The former slaves in this community,
as a general rule, are respectful and po-
lite to the whites, and act SO as to cause
their former masters to take deep
interest in the welfare. They have sew
eral schools, and are making progress
in education and the arts of civilized
life, and so far from throwing obstruc-
tions in their way, everything is done
to assist and advance them.-C Charlotte

CUBA.-The office of Captain-G General of
Cuba has been for years the most lucrative
appointment pertaining to the Spanish
Crown. Hence, the frequent changes made
in the administration of the Island. An
other Captain-General has recently been ap-
pointed in the place of Lersundi by the name
of Joaquin del Manseano. In only three or
four years the Captain-General retires to old
Spain a millionaire, and lives as Don the
balance of his days. Receiving large sal
ary, and then with fees, and donations, and
bribes, with additional advantages of steala-
ges, and no auditing accounts, the Office of Cap
tain General of Cuba is one of the most lucra-
tive positions in the world. But few years
since when Gen. Concha governed the Island,
the slave trade was carried on with much
greater success and profit than at present,
and he is reported to have received as a bo-
nus, one gold doubloon (sixteen dollars) a
head for every slave introduced from Africa,
and their number at that time were thou
sands every year. But last month, October,
one cargo of nearly two hundred was sue
cessfully landed, and of course Lersundi
pocketcd his bonus, or it could not have been
accomplished. Hence, the frequent changes
of Governors on that Island.

A RICH SERMoN.-Where is the
man with the harp of a thousand
strings? The following extract from
sermon will be recognized at glance
by some readers here at home. 1t
loses much of it's humor, because we
cannot put in the appropriate gestures
that accompany it:
"My friend, sin makes the purtiest
young man in the world ugly-ah. And
[ will tell you how I know-ah. was
coming up TO church to-day, when [
saw some men on the road-ah, and
thought one of them the purtlest Young
man l ever saw in my life-ah. And as
I drew nigh unto them, discovered
they were playing at marvels, and they
taw, and they marveled-ah. And when
he marveled, he jumped up and tapped
his hands like rooster does his wings,
and says, '1wish 1 may be id if I
haint fat-ah!'' And oh, my friends,
then 1 thought he was the ugliest man
I ever saw in my life-ah. And I opened
Says I, young man, this is not the way
to salvation.
"And he said, Look here, old hoss,
Ii you nad Deen Sal1VaJed as was, you
would not love to hear talk of saliva
tion.'
"And now, my friends, if that young
man said he was fat he told lie, for he
was as lean as that hun ngry-looking sis
ter over thar, that's always praying so
piously when the hat is being passed
around-ah.
" And, my friends if that young man
had not been blinded by sin, he never
could mistuck me for an old hoss-ah.'' %

While the boys were still apprentices,
an offer of So, 900 appeared in the news
papers for the best plan for State
House, to be built in one of the Eastern
States. The studious boy saw the ad-
vertisment, and determined to try for
it. After careful study, he drew
out his plans, and sent them to the
committee. We suppose he did not
really expect to gain the prize; but still
he thought &C there is nothing like try
ing.
In about a week after, gentleman
arrived at the carpenters shop, and in
quired if an architect by the name OF
Washington Wherefore lived there.
"No," said the carpenter, "no archa-
tect ), but Eve got an apprentice by the
name"
Let's see him." said the gentleman.
The young man was summoned, and
informed that his plan had been accep-
ted, and that the two thousand dollars
were his. The gentleman then said the
boy must put up the building; and his
employer was so proud of his success,
that he willingl ly gave him his time and
let him go.
The studious young carpenter became
one of the first architects in the country.

As the session of Congress approaches, the
Standard grows more venomous. 1t is per-

cal Senate will be justly amenable in DANA

Sentinel.
The Sentinel is always indulging in per-
sonalities and impeaching motives. The
Editors judge US by a standard they have set
up for themselves. They feel that they are
governed in all they say and do by selfish
motives, and they naturally conclude that
others are like themselves.
The San Salvador mission was disposed of
at the last session of Congress. The nomi-
nee for the place was rejected. We have not
complained of the Senate for rejecting us,
nor do we expect to complain. Neither has
any change taken place in the tone of the
Standard. It is the same unconditional
opponents in this State have changed. Then
they were ready to submit to anything to re-
store the Union; nOD they are stubborn and
defiant, and judging them by what they say
and do, nothing would afford them so much
pleasure as to see the national government
destroyed and its flag trampled under foot
We have no personal controversy with any
one. If we were disposed to impeach mo-
tives or to indulge in personalities, we could
find as much material for comment in our
neighbors as they can possibly find in US. 1t
will be matter of little moment what be-
comes of any one personally if the Union
can be restored and peace and prosperity Sc
cured to the impoverished and suffering
people of the South.

The New York Tribune of the Sd saws.

"The new Police Commissioners of Balti-
more will, it is reported, make an attempt
to-day to forcibly dispossess Messrs Hindes
and Wood. 1t is supposed that they will be
resisted, and that Mr. johnson will order u
s. troops to sustain them Ifthis step is ta-
ken the old Commissioners will yield, but
Gov. Swami must bear the responsibility of
deciding, by an appeal to military force,
question which properly belongs to the
Courts. There is serious danger of blood
shed in Baltimore, and the Governor is do
ing nothing to removeit. The Commission
ers, with prudence and moderation, have of
fered to give the Conservatives Election
Judges of their own choice, but their over
lures have been rejected. The party which
the Governor leads appears determined to
force issue, regardless of the consequences.
We again urge the Union men of Baltimore
to yield, rather than allow the Rebel spirit
that rules in New-Orleans to trap them into
violence. Better to submit to the tyranny of
the Governor than answer it by armed resis-
tance. Gen. Grant, it is understood, does
not favor the removal of the Commissioners,
and will not act unless ordered to by the
President"

We copy to-day, from the New York Times,
an interesting article in relation to the South
The Times tells the truth as to our condition,
but seems puzzled as to the causes which
have produced this condition. We will tell
that paper in a few words. The old seces-
sion leaders of the South, like the Bourbons,
"never forget, and never learn any thing''-
These leaders have as supreme a con-
troll now as they had before and during the
rebellion. This accounts for our condition.
There will be no improvement until these
leaders are driven from all public positions,
and the power of the South is placed in the
hands of loyal Union men. How can this be
done2 Let Congress ans,oer.

TITLES TO EsTATEs.-If the Southern
States should reject the Howard amend
ment, and if Congress should provide for a
reorganization of the State governments, as
it most probably will, everything thus far
done will, of course, be declared null and
void. The result will be that all pardons
granted by the President will fall to the
ground. The South will be precisely as it
was at the date of the surrender This be-
ing the case, purchasers may well be careful
as to their titles. This uncertainty as to
titles is one of the reasons why Northern cap
italists are at present indisposed to make in
vestments in lands in the Southern States.

A COOP MovE.-A movement is to be
made at last we understand, against the gas
company, or, in other words. to compel the
reduction of price or abandon the use of such
light. For this object, a meeting of consum-
ers will soon be called in order to secure har-
mony and unless the company lowers its tar
iff, we shall not long hence witness an extra
ordinary demand for lamps and kerosene
Progress.
We agree with the Progress that the pres
ent charge for gas is exorbitant. The price
should be reduced otherwise many consum-
ers will abandon its use and resort to
lamps and candles. 1t would have been
good plan if the City had originally estab-
lish ed the gas works and we do not know
but it would be well for the City to do it
now, and thus make its own gas, and furn-
ish it at fair rates to consumers.
