A SHOCKING MURDER IN NORTH

A SHOCKING MURDER IN NORTH
CARoLNA.-A most shocking murder
has been committed in the eastern
part OF Rowan county. 1t appears
that one Rufus Ludwick married a
Miss Campbell about three weeks ago
against the wishes of his parents. She
was denied the privilege Of entering
their house; they protested against
their sons living with her. She sud-
denly disappeared, and was gone
nearly a week, when the neighbors,
becoming suspicious of foul play, had
Ludwick arrested, and instituted a
search for his wife, and found her
dead in the Yadkin river, near the
premises of his parents. The gen.
eral belief prevails that Ludwiek
murdered his wife and cast her into
the river, and that the parents were
accessory to the deed. The matter
will be fully investigated. Sufficient
evidence has already been elected to
commit Rufus Ludwick to jail. A
bullet hole through the head showed
that she had been shot with a rife !;
her throat was also cut, either of
which wounds would have proved
mortal.

The UBIQUITOUS ETHIOP.-The Al
bany Argus contemporary says :"The
Black Republican party of Ohio had
@egroes in its State Convention"
The Argus needn't have "gone West"
for an illustration that the gift of
freedom and The ballot to the negro
''r,nnosarilv will elevate him to a new
social and political standard. The
negroes in the Legislature of Massa-
chusetts behaved so well, and exhib-
tied so much good sense that that old
time Democratic organ the Boston
Post spoke Of them in terms of re-
spectful commendation. But the Ar-
gas need not attempt to confine what
it calls the disgraceful recognition of
the negroes political consequence to
the Republican party. Has it forgot
ten that Wade Hampton lately stood
arm in arm upon a platform with
Beverly Nash, the lea d er of the
" South side p" negroes of South Caro-
lima, or that Emerson Etheridge the
democratic candidate for Governor
of Tennessee, asked tor the suffrages
of his colored fellow citizens at a
meeting presided over by a black
chairman. The world evidently
moves if the Argus doesn't, and the
protestations of the Argus against the
right of propriety Of the world to
move at all, are not at all likely to
stop that progress that Victor Hugo
calls < the very stride of God. -

CHoIRs.-A writer iD the Examiner
and Chronicle describes fashionable
city choir: The cockloft, ten feet
behind ard ten feet above the wor-
shippers; then the fourteen sorts of
tune-books; then the balustrade to
hide the praisers; then the praisers
themselves, who come tripping to
their places with exuberant satisfac-
tion and demonstrative delight; then
their salutations and greetings, which
in any other part Of the church, would
be considered intolerably irreverent,
therefore the choir-loft is not re-
cognized as a part of the church, or
its inhabitants part of the worship
pers, then the titter-a disease which
is as inenrable in choirs, as it is in
separable from them; then solemn
singing, with a background of mer-
ry smiles, hilarious nudging and char
acteristic mot to say choristic) winks ;
then grand reconnoitering of tune
books, accompanied by appropriate
whispers during the prayer or read
ing of the Holy Bible; then itera-
ry entertainment, or an exchange of
pencilled notes on all the great ques.
tions that interest the human mind
except religion; then the transforms
tion of the choir-loft into sleeping
car, of which the chorister is the con-
ductor, who wakes up his passengers
when it is time to go to praising
again"

STRIPED BUG.-Jonathan P. West
of Morristown says he has successful
ly defended his vine patches against
the ravages Of these mischievous
creatures, by means of very simple
process, which we do not recollect to
have heard of before. 1t is this:
Lay board, one or more, accord
ing to the size of your patch, between
the rows in such a manner as to af-
ford a shelder to toads in the day
time, and leave it undisturbed, so that
they will make their home under it,
which they will do in great numbers.
At night they sally out and devour
every bug, and grow fat as Aldermen.
He says he has had dozen or more
of these little philanthropists make
their home under a single board not
more than six feet long, and perfect
ly protect his vines. The process is
so simple, and the authority for its
perfect success so good and direct,
that everybody should try it.-Ne'cs-
dealer.

The Pledge.

knowledge of the subject, though
an essential element of reform, in not,
Of itself, sufficient to guard men from
formation of Incorporate habits
Past experience has also fully proved
that the formation of a resolution not
to drink, unless recorded in the pres
ence of friends and companions, and
sustained by the influence of associ-
ated example, and frequent counsel
and exhortation, will in majority of
instances, prove insufficient to guard
men, and especially our young men,
against the formation of an evil habit.
The pledge and the principle of as
sociation cannot be safely dispensed
with, in the present state of society.
They are just as needful now, as they
ever were, their proper employment
will be attended with the same bless
ed results as before. Men who can,
with the history of the temperance
reformation before them, ridicule the
pledge and temperance societies,
should, to be consistent, mock at mar
riage vows, oaths of allegiance and
oaths of office, church covenants, and
pledges of fidelity, to whatever prin-
ciple, and for whatever purpose insti-
tuted. Human virtue is frail, and
even when the mind and heart are
rightly inclined, the will to do right
is often feeble, and opposing infu-
ences are strong 1t is not therefore,
a vain thing, that we give to men, in
their struggle with evil, within and
without, all possible helps, though
naughty and vain theorists may de-
.nounce them as extrinsic AMI uncall-
ed for. An honest man would pay a
debt, if he have the ability, though
he had not signed an obligation to do
so. A christian man would tell the
truth in court of justice, though
the obligation of an oath were want
ing, and yet the common sense of man.

note and the administration of the
oath.-Dr. Jeocett.

MEDICAL. QUALITIES nE PIIMpKIN.

MEDICAL QUALITIES OF PUMPKIN
At recent discussion in the New
York Farmers Club, a correspondent
writes of the virtue Of the pumpkin:
:" will give you simple, yet very
valuable cure, for infammatory rheu-
matism. A womans arm was swell
ed to an enormous size, and painfully
inAamed. A poultice was made Of
stewed pumpkin, which was renewed
every fifteen minutes, and in a short
time produced perfect cure. The
fever drawn out of the poultices made
them extremely offensive as they were
taken off. | knew a man cured of
severe inflammation of the bowels by
the same kind of application. | think
such subjects as this proper for dis
cussion in farmers club"

An AFFECTING SCENE.--An affect
ing scene took place few days ago
at the police station, which melted
more than one stern heart to tears
A young man of most respectable con-
nections had been arrested for drunk
enness and disorderly conduct, and
was raving like maniac in his cell,
when his aged mother, attired in wild
ow's weeds, entered the station house,
and requested to be allowed an inter,
view. The request was granted, and
she stood face to face with her erring
son. The surprise almost sobered
him for moment, and he greeted her
with manly tenderness, but the demon
of intoXication soon broke forth in
fresh rawlings. The mother endeavor-
cd W ualln and oouthe him, but with
out avail: his dulled ear was deaf to
the tones of maternal love, and retir-
ing from the cell she sank into seat,
while the sobs SO long choked down,
burst forth with passionate vehemence
for her son-her fallen son, her fond
hope and pride. the prop and stay of
her old age-for whom she would will
lingly have laid down her life. For
two hours her uncontrollable agita.
tion had full sway, and then, with ar
effort at calmness, she departed.
1t was a scene which none could
view without emotion, and spoke in
thunder tones of the evils Of strong
drink. For yonr own sake, for your
mothers sake, for Gods sake, spurn
the intoxicating bowl. 1t is fraught
with ruin to body and soul: it is H.
quid fire; distilled damnation, the
strongest of all the devils potent en-
ginery. Don't drink. The ruby bowl
may invite. but there is death in every
sparkle; tears and sighs in every
glowing drop. 1t will deprive you OF
health. fortune, reputation, friends
mar your every prospect, blight your
every hope, bring down the gray hairs
of your parents in shame and sorrow
to the grave, and finally eonsign you a
poor, bloated, disgraeed wreck to "a
pauper's trench in a Potter's field

A Menagerie Of Drunkards.

The most foolish predicament a
man can get into is to get drunk. In
drunkenness every man shows his
strongest and most ardent passion
There are six kinds of drunkards,
and if you will go into any drinking
place where there are dozen men
under the influence Of liquor, you will
be sure to find these six different an
imals.
The first is ape-drunk. He leaps,
and sings, and yells, and dances,
making all sorts of grimaces and cut
ting up all sorts of monkey shines, y
to excite the laughter of his fellows
o, terribly silly is the drupken clown.
The second is tiger-drunk. He
breaks the bottles, breaks the chairs,
breaks the heads of fellow carousers,
and is full of blood and thunder
His eyes are fired with vengeance,
and his soul raves with murderous
fury. Of this sort are those who
abuse their families.
The third is hog-drunk. He rolls
in the dirt on the floor, slobbers,
grunts, and going int 0 the street
makes his bed in the first dich or filthy
corner he may happen to fall into
He is heavy, dumpish, and sleepy, and
cries in grunting way for little
more to drink
The fourth is puppy-drunk. He
will weep for kindness, and whine his
love and hug you in his own arms, and
kiss you with his slobbery lips and
proclaim how much he loves YOU
You are the best man he ever saw,
and he will lay down his money or
life for you.
The fifth is owl-drunk. He is wise
in his own conceit. No man must
differ with him, for his word is law
He is true in politics, and all matter
must be taken as authority His arm
is the strongest, his voice the sweet
est, his horse the feetest, his turnips
the largest, his town the finest of all
| in the room or land.
The sixth and last animal of our
menagerie is the fox-drunk man. He
is crafty, ready to trade horses and
cheat if he can. Keen to strike a
bargain, leering around with low cum
ming, peeping through cracks, listen
ing under the caves, watching for some
suspicious thing; sly as fox, sneak
ing as wolf, he is the meanest drunk.
ard of them all.
