New CHARTERS. Worth has
recently granted, according to act of AS
sembly, a charter to the Cabarrus Mining
Company, for the purpose of the mining
and manufacturing oar. The capital stock
of the Company is not to exceed $500, OO0
The Company has already, we believe,pur'
chased mining lands in Cabarrus county
and will go to work at once. The corpo-
rators are: Thaddeus Stevens, {" old
Thad !0 Z. B. French, John Z. Farms
worth, Harmon c.. Judd and G. +. Peck,

Also, recently, charter to the Blakesley
Mining Company of Mecklenburg, with a
capital stock not to exceed $500, 900, COM
posed mostly of Northern gentlemen.

the future, and are evidence that the re-

PEN1rENr1ARY.-Prof. Kerr, State Geolo-
gist, has lately returned from his explora-
tions in the Mountain counties, and, at the
request of Gov. Worth, left this city, on
yesterday, for Deep River, for the purpose
of examining fully into the resources and
capabilities of that region for the location
of State Penitentiary. He is to report
in time for the Legislature. 1t is believed
that no section of the State offers as strong
inducements for building a Penitentiary
cheaply, and for sustaining it at SO small
expense as that region.-Ralelgh Sentinel
THEo. II HILL, Eso.-We are much gat-
fled to learn that the Poem, read by this
gentleman at the recent Commencement of
Pittsborough Scientific Academy, produced
a fine impression upon the large and intel.
ligent audience. 1t was received with such
marked evidences of appreciation in the
morning, when delivered, that Mr.. Hill
was urged to repeat it at night, which he
did to the qualification of all present. We
hope to see this fine Poem soon ip print.

THE CROPS. s.-We learn from several of
our neighboring farmers that the rains
which fell in the early part of this week,
have had q very beneficial effect upon the

CROPS IN LENolR.-Lenoir county, July
31st. 1867. Mr.. Editor Il have seen two
notices in the papers about j. FL. Dibble's,
ESQ, cotton crop in Lenoir county, being
the best in the county.
Mr.. John r. Moore young farmer rails
ed in Lenoir county, has a crop of cotton
on the north side of Mr.. Dibble's plantation
equally as good, if not little better than
Mr.. Dibble's
I would further state that Mr.. Samuel B.
Clayton, formerly of Orange county, in
this State, has large crop of cotton at
Core creek, in Craven county, on planta-
ton belonging to Mr.. Dibble, that will
compare favorably with either Mr.. Dibble's

An Old Man Killed by his Child Of Sixteen
Years

A brutal murder case occurred at Peoria'
Mahaska county, Iowa, on Tuesday morn
ing 23d inst. It seems that an old man
by the name of Ellis Jones had decided
away all of his property to his sons, with
the condition that they should support him
the rest of his life. On Tuesday morning
quarrel arose between the father and a
son, 16 years old, about a most trivial mat
ter. During the alteration the son drew
pistol and shot his father in the left side,
inficting wound which caused his death
in six or eight hours Public opinion In
that neighborhood seems to incline to the
belief that the affair was premeditated
one, concocted by the brothers, and that
the boy who committed the act was merely
made the tool of the older but more cow
ardly ones.

$4,000 Persons have Insured in the
ETNA LIFE INSURANCE co.
OF HARTFORD, CONN,
And others are Daily Applying.


FENHE principle of LIFE INSURANCE has
! become so well demonstrated, that it is hardly
necessary at this day to go into an argument in its
support. Every individual who has family or
dear ones dependent upon his existence is in fact
overlooking If not violating, one Of the most i'm
p0rtant duties of fe in not guarding them against
want, and protecting them from poverty, should
death deprive them of his support and assistance
On an INSURANCE POLICY, procured at a small
premium, requisite sum is secured in case of
death, to provide them with subsistence through
Life. Securing such policy not only makes life
pass moro pleasantly, but will bring to the DEATH
bed the happy consolation that your wife and child
ren vii not be left destitute or to THE COLD,
CHEERLESS SYMPATHY OF AN UNCHARITA-
BILE WORLD. To those whose good impulses are
moved to tits accomplishment for their family's
future protection.
THE ETNi LIFE INSURANCE co.
Is most cordially recommended for the carving
out Of these desires The Company has been in
existence for FORTY EIGHT years, and now. with q
capital Of over $6,0O0,O0O 90
stands one 0f the solid monetary institutions of
mcnts for LIFE INSURANCE in the world
Over five hundred risks have been taken in the
last twelve months upon the most influential citi-
zcns Of North Carolina. Out of this number four
have died, making S23, 900 in cash paid
over promptly to survivors and but for this fore
thought and ACTION not one dollar would have
9eeu left OF their estates for the benefit OF their
0ereaVed loved ones. After the End year
5o per cent. Dividends Is paid to Policy
hoiGers every year during Life,
and at death the Policy is paid to survivors
Risks on ages from II to 65 years are taken for
3 term ofyears or the WHOLE TERM OF LIFE
On amounts from 1000 to 10000, and the rates
are regulated according to age THIS PROVI-
SION CANNOT BE TAKEN FOR DEBT, BUT
GOES TO THE FAMILY OR OTHER DEPEND

In this duty and much may be lost. Of two cour-

there be doubt which is to be chosen? Every
one knows that If the pressure of the times bears
hard upon man in the fulness Of his strength, it
Will be far more severe upon a woman and child
fen left at such con- juncture as this without re-
sources or protector, and It is easier for man TO
Fay his premium than for his family to live with

great a change, she plainly told them that she
used the Circassian Balm, and considered
it an invaluable acquisition to any Lndy'S toilet.
