A TIRGISIAS GETS INTO A ScRAPE IN NORTH
C~AEoLISA.-Last spring, q man named u.
Dawson, hailing from near Charlottesville,
Va, u carpenter by occupations, sought and
obtained employment 1T his business in Edge
combe- He worked faithfully, and to all ap-
pearance seemed an honest and upright man,
and succeeded in ginning the respect OF the
community. But Cupid went to work, and
the young man fell in love with the daughter
of a planter, waited upon her, and it is said
became engaged, and the marriage ceremony
was TO have taken place last Thursday had not
other events prevented it. Rumor, however,
had recently injured the reputation of the
daughter, and some two weeks ago Mr.. DaW-
son, remaining for the night in the house where
resided his intended bride, heard some one at
tempting to enter the house, and seiZing n gun
near at hand, fired into the intruder, wound
ing quite severely q negro man who lived upon
the place. an: r- #E.s
Later developments have given to the com.
munity facts which prove the existence OF
more than even rumor had asserted. The To-
man had not only been living in improper IN
timacy with her future lord, but had, TO the
astonishment of the latter, encouraged an In
timacy with the negro in question, and for
this reason it appears the. negro was seeking
an en- trance into the house when he was
wounded. The negro exposed the affair, when
caused Dawson to go to Tarboro' to give him,
self up TO the authorities for shooting the ne
gro, the latter threatening to have him prose
cutcd, Dawson riding q very valuable horse
| belonging to his intended father-in-law Blu
on reaching Tarboro' he changed his mind,
sold the horse, pocketed the money, and has
left unmarried the woman who would soor
have been his wife had it not been for the de.
yelopments which were lately made.-Roanok.

Nofst T,gpp1sd-A sorseyYhat novel we'd

NOVEL WEDDISd.-A somewhat novel we'd
ding occurred at Wellsburg yesterday. A
widow (' grass +" widow, aged about twenty
five years, whose husband enlisted In the Con-
federate army during the late war, and from
whom she has not heard since the close Of the
war, was yesterday married 10 a wealthy gen-
tleTnan who is.about seventy five years of age.
The happy pair were to have been married ut
ii O'Clock yesterday morning; but an unfore-
seen accident occurred which delayed the In
teresting ceremonies until 2 O'Clock In the af-
ternoon. The aged gentleman was on the
Ohio side Of the river, distant about six miles.
On his way to the Wellsburg ferry his horse
became frightened and ran away, throwing
the gushing soon-to-b be groom upon mother
earth, and smashing the buggy into small
matrimonial pieces. But no time was to be
last, and the aged swain started on foot for
his destination as fast as his stiff extremities
would carry him. After making pretty good
time, considering the circumstances, hy ar
rived at the ferry opposite rWellsburg just
as the boat had Swung out" He shouted
in stentorian tones to =" hold on" and the
boatmen, observing the enthusiastic manner
of the stranger, and thinking something Of vast
Importance was on hand, steamed up to the
landing and took the perspiring gentleman on
board. He was covered with mud from head
to foot, and presented a very unprepossessing
appearance. Upon arriving on the Wellsburg
shore he proceeded Immediately to the resi-
dence of his waiting, anxious, and disconso-
late affinity, and the marriage rites were duly
solemnized instanter. The serene and happy
pair left upon their wedding tour on the first
train Wheeling Register.

says:
1.-THE Zouaye Jacob, though under arrest,
still persists in attracting the notice OF the
public. He has just issued a sort of circular,
whereby we are informed that he learnt medi-
cine out Of books; that he believes the whole
college of physicians to be so many PRISONERS /;
that although in the band of the Zouaves, he
dislikes music; and that living in his village
of ST. Martin Les Champs, he used TO cure all
the children of the neighborhood. Further
more, he is an adept at spiritism that ms
specially is curing nervous persons that, ike
his predecessors, the apostles, he cannot eX-
pect% happiness here below; that Marshal tc-
rey sent him n hundred francs, which proves
that he must be better. This argument con-
slider unanswerable, and l hereby state that ii
any of your invalid readers will send me the
same sum, l will unhesitatingly assure him
thar he is not only better, but in perfect
health. The Zouave furthermore informs us
that he is anxiously awaiting the hour OF his
restoration TO liberty. l can only tell the
Zouave that in this he is not singular, as the
whole country is likewise looking orwitrd to
the same blessing us the, 'crowninS OF the

press that he is totally indifferent to its ops

Negroes and Whites at School Together.
One OF the resolutions adopted "Wednesday
by the Soldiers and Sailors Convention in this
city declared In favor Of schools open to both
whites and blacks-a monstrous proposition,
which Is secuted in the Radical State Of Ohio.
The Anglaize (Ohio) Democrat Of tho 10Th
instant says: IS
Monday morning of last week the fall
term of our Union School commenced its ses-
sion, and the few fanatics of this place i'm
proved the opportunity OF carrying out their
devilish doctrine of negro equality by run
ming into the school every woolly headed
niger they could gather in the %neighbor-
hood. The programme was to seat them in
the same seats, have them IN the same
classes, and put them on an equality with
the white children. At the opening OF the
school they were scattered around. in every
department Of our school. This was more
than Wapakoneta children had been edu
Gated TO-, and there was a breeze raised mt
once, and our excellent Board was immedf-
ately called. The president of the Board,
after seeing the state Of affairs, called on the
parents of the negro children, and requested
them 10 keep them out of school until ar
engagements could be made for a school for
their especial benefit. They at first agreed TO
this, but after consultation with several
white niggers, set upon the Board, and swore
they knew their rights and were determined
10 stand up for them and keep their children
in the school. The Board then met and pass
ed an order o~usting th6tdarkies. Thereupon a
howl went up from the white and black mig
gers of our town. Our School. Board was
threatened with prosecution unde the Civil
Rights BILL fine, imprisonment, &C., But our
School Board are of good material, and stood
manfully up to the work. They are deter.
mined that onr children shall notrbe compelled
to sit side by side with the negro population.
They are anxious and willing that the negro
children shall have lin education, and there
fore propose to give them their share of pub
lie money, and if enough can be gathered to-
gether to start a school, to give them an edu-
cation. All honor to our School Board"
