EXTRAORDINARY CASE.

little girl, three years of age, on Sunday
week, was sleeping in her crib bed in the bed
room of her mother, the husband and father be-
ing absent attending to his business, which is of
public nature. and which keeps him up nights,
A door opening into the sitting or dining room
of the house was ajar, and in the sitting room
the upper sash Of the window had been lowered,
as was the custom. In the middle of the night
the little girl cried out ina, ma, kitty is biting
me-" The mother went to the crib and on ex-
aiming her found that the large toe of one Of
her feet had been bitten, and that just above the
ankle there were two more wounds from which
the blood flowed freely. She was quite alarmed
knowing that there no cat about tie house,
and she was quite perplexed to find out wha. had
bitten her child. Stopping the bleeding, she
was about placing her 10 Der own bed when she
asked to be allowed to remain in her crib, where
she could play with kitty" The father on com
ing home in the morning. was Informed what
had transpired in the night bv his wife, and he
examined the wounds on the legs ofhis daughter.

produced by rat
During the day neighborng woman said she

had become quiet rat was heard knawing at
the threshold of the door. The husband was in.
formed of the matter in the morning and deter
Mined If possible, to catch the rat. This he did
in two or three mornings aferwards-seeine the
rat enter the room BY means of the window,
which was lowered from the top. Hoisling the
sash, he let himself into the house by the door
and with club dispatched it. He threw it into
the yard where his wife couli see il when she
arose. Shortly after the usual time of rising. the
little girl came into the house with the dead rat
rolled up in her apron and complaining bitterly
to her mother because 'papa had killed her kit

there is not much doubt that she had been in the

70 the FARMERS of MECKLENBURG
AND ADJOINING COUNTIES.

To calling your attention to our large and
varied stock of Fertilizers, intended for the
Wheat to be sown this Fall, We beg leave to call
your attention to the fact that notwithstanding
the heavy rains which fell during the months OF
March, April aad May, the yield in most cases
has been large aud proved profitable invest
ment to the Farmer This shows a much better
result than might have been expected, as the
heavy rains in the Spring saturated the soil and
carried large portion Of the Fertilizer beyond
the reach Of the fbrous roots of the Wheat, hence
the plaat had merely tuft Of root to afford it
nourishment. This will accoant for the partial
failure of the crop. Farmers should consider
the contingencies of season, which affect results,
against which no fertilizer can, 10 the nature of
things, provide The Pacific Guano which we
sold last Fall, for Wheat, has proved a success
10 nearly every instance. MIR Laban Lineberger
was excellent 10 quality aod very abundant.
Samuel P. Smith of this city, writes US as
follows:
81 used one ton of Pacific Guano on about 10
acres Of 'old Land, on which sowed one bushei of
'Boughton' Wheat 10 the acre. The field yielded
l25 bushels of good wheat-equal in quality to the
Wheat sowed. / am Of opinion that without the
use of the Guano, should not have made more
than or bushels per acre, as was clearly evil
during windy weather and that portion of each
land where the Guano fell thickest yielded nearly
double the amount Of that which received the less
quantity. ] am fully satisfied of its merits as
Fertilizer for Wheat and expect to it again this

From the Raleigh Sentinel,
"SHODDY."


The meaning of the word "Shoddy" is be-
coming obscure1 by a new use now being made
of it. 1t is now applied to certain parties who
have become rich suddenly by the manufacture
of particular kind of cloth In large cities
and densely populated districts, old hats, and
clothes, and blankets, and anything else that
contains wool, are bought up and ground up
into material to be mized in with the WOODEN
fibre for CLOTH 1t is merely caught up into the
warp and filling 10 loose maoner, and, though
of no real service, it nevertheless adds to the
weight and helps fill up. As the goods are
worn, this material wears or Sits out, and
gathers in Jumps between the cloth and its
lining, and may be taken out by the handful
This kind of cloth was originally called "Shod-
dy," and, being made largely "for the public"
the manufacturers now go by the name of "Shod-
dy contractors"
The buyers of these old hats and coats are
found 10 the greasiest streets of large cities and
are usually greasy little rat-dog looking men,
who advertise under the call for least off cloth
ing" But their trade corresponds with the
avocation of those who buy up cats for the
makers of bologna sausages
1t IS matter of congratulation that North
Carolina can boast of manufactory, on large
and honorable basis, that makes 10 shoddy. but
deals solely in honest and faithful goods, fact
now being testified to by numberless papers
since the Sentinel called public attention, in
late issue, to this North Carolina Factory-"The
Rock Island Manufacturing Company" The
large number of illusions to these WOODEN goods.
and the many endorsements of them, by many
Who know them of old, endorsements that have
been reproduced by your paper, proves that the
"Rock Island. goods are really good goods.
@.
The Rock Island Factory, alluded to by the
sentinel's correspondent g., is located in this
city This Factory deserves to be literally en-
eouraged, for the goods are made from the finest
wool, and We are glad to learn that they are be-
coming SO we'll known throughout the country.
All the Company asks is a fair trial.
