To those persons who may not have seen

SERIOUS ACCIDENT AT A ToURN

SERIOUS ACCIDENT AT A IOURNA.
MFNT.-There was a tournament al
Selma, Ala, on the 9th. at which a
serious accident occurred. y b e
Times, of the 9TH, gives the follow
ing particulars
On yesterday morning, during
the intermission between the first
aud second tits at The tournament,
one section of the seats that had
been arranged for the audience sud
denly gave way, precipitaing those
seated upon them to the ground. 1t
is estimated that the number of per-
sons on them at the time was about
two hundred-most of them ladies.
We regret to say that quite a
number were more or less seriously
injured, but it seems almost a mira
Gle that some were not instantly
killed
The following is list of those
injured as far as we bave been able
to obtain it. We are not able to
speak with certainty as to the extent
Of the injury done, except in one or
two cases; it is believed, however,
that none are fatally injured:
Miss Evans, arm broken; Mrs.
Rountree, seriously injured; Miss
Lucy Nelson, of Selma, serious y in
jured Mrs. Mardis, of Shelby
county, seriously injured; Miss
Catherine Keenan,, of Dallas county,
limb broken R. w. Blackwell, Mrs.
Roberts, Miss Weir, Captain Harry
Robertson, seriously injured F.; Master
Chas. Lewis, slightly injured a
daughter of George o. Baker, and a
son Of W W Murphy slightly iu-
jured.
There may be others of whom we
have not heard. Ike sufferers all
received prompt attention, and were
removed as soon as possible to their
residences or to the houses of friends.
They have the sympathy of the
entire community. The friends of
those resident out of Selma may feel
assured that every attention will be
rendered them. The accident was
evidently occasioned by the lack of
sufficient bracing to the seats.

sg- A writer 10 the Atlantic
Monthly proves by statistics that a
mans longevity is III exact proportion
to his educational attainments, pro-
vided his health has not been injured
by over mental exertion.
1t seems that increasing intelligence
and decreasing war have prolonged the
average length of life in Europe from
twenty-five years in the seventeenth
century to thirty-five years in the
nineteenth. The best educated com.
munities are the longest lived, and the
best educated soldiers live amazingly
longer than the more ignorant, and
seem to swear charmed life, not so
much against bullet and bayopet, as
against the effects Of disease priva.
tions and even severe wounds on their
constitution and lives.

THE PopE IN TUE FORTRESS

The PORE IN TUE Fortress
HIS htcrviep with the Garibaldian
Priyoners.-Yest erday { October l9th)
the Pope went to Fort st. Angelo
and presented himself to the Carl.
baldian prisoners who received him
on their knees in profound silence.
Looking around on the party,
about two hundred in number, the
holy father said, "Behold him whom
your General calls the vampire of
l. ally. Is it against me you have
all taken up arms9 And do you
see a poor old man." The Pope
then drew nearer and addressed sew
eral Of the prisoners personally, say
ing, "You, my friend, have lost your
shoes, and your shirt, and your hat.
All, well, l shall see you are pro-
vided, and then l shall send you
away to your homes only I shall
ask you first, as Catholics, to make
a spiritual retirement for my sake.
You know, my dear friends, that it
is the Pope himself who asks this Of
YOU"
The Garibaldians were deeply
moved by this address, and pressed
forward to kiss the cross bordering
the Pope's robe, and then the holy
f,ther gave them his benediction.-

A GREAT CURIosITY.-We have
often heard of the "honey ant" of
Texas, but the account seeming so
romantic we have heretofore hardly
been able to credit it, but as we now
have a specimen before us, furnished
by our friend, Leo Smith, of this
city, We can no longer have doubts
on the subject. These ants are a
medium size, between the large and
the small red ants, and are of red
ish brown color. Appended to the
rear of each one, is a translucent
sack or globe filled with pure clean
honey of a most delicious favor.
The sack varies in size on different
ants, ranging between the sizes of a
buck shot and common navy pistol
ball. On this sack, at short inter-
walls, are attached thin layers about
the length and width of half grain
of rice, and of dark color, evidently
to strengthen it and keep it in shape
These interesting animals when they
crawl, draw their delicious load after
them and if the sack is opened, the
honey runs out, and they set them
selves to work to replenish it again.
Whether they deposit this honey in
their great general reservoir among
the rocks, to draw from it as occasion
may require or hold and use it as
Individual property, we are not in
formed. Here is a curiosity that we
believe has heretofore escaped the
eye and pen of our celebrated natu-
ralists.-San Ank0nio Ledger.

Mr.. James F. Taylor, of Wake, begged to
decline acting as one of the Secretaries
This having been granted, Captain John
Fry was voted into the vacant Office.
DIR. Powell proposed that the rules of the
House OF Commons of North Carolina be the
governing rules for the proceedings of this
Convention.
Mr.. James Harris suggested that it might
be found little lnconvenient, owing to the
fact that in the rules referred to, there was
proviso excluding colored people from the
floor OF the House of Commons Gaugh-
ter)
A delegate-But We do not, great many
of us, know what these rules are Very few
persons here know anything about them
The President-They know AS much, and,
perhaps more, about them than about any
other public body, and it will take too long
now, to frame particular code for the gov
eminent of this Convention.
DR.. Powelfs motion was then put and car
ried.
DR.. Powell then rose and made the follow
ing remarks:
MIR. PRESIDENT AS it is very impor-
tant matter for the success of the Repub-
lican party in this State that proper or
ganization be effected, which will reach,
not only every county, but every precinct in
the State, | think it indispensable that
this Convention shall form rules for the
government Of that party in the State of
North Carolina. I therefore move that a
Committee of twenty be appointed by the
President,-three from each Congressional
District of the State-whose duty it shall
he to draw up and report to this Conven
tion plan for the organization of the Re
publican party throughout the State.
The motion was seconded and after discus
sion adopted.
DIR. Powell then offered a resolution au-
thorizing the President to appoint COM
mittee of 16, two from each Congressional
District, and two from the State at large, on
platform and resolutions, which was also
adopted.
The president then resigned the Chair to
the Vice President, General Dockery, while
he withdrew to name committees in accord
ance with the motion of Dr. Powell
Finding, however, that this would occupy
too much of the time of the Convention
and it had already been sometime in session.
the president stated that at the mass meeting
in the evening he would announce the names
of the gentlemen who would, meantime, be
chosen by him as IA Committee on Resolu-
tions.
With this announcement, a motion was
made and speedily seconded that the Con-
vention adjourn, and having been put to the
meeting and Immediately passed.
The Convention adjourned accordingly.

OBITUARY..

Died, in Baltimore, Md, on the 5th of
December, with disease of the heart,
JAMES A. MCGUIRE, native of Charles
ton, 3. O., but resident of this city for
the past twelve years.
The death Of this amiable youth is q
severe trial to those whom he has left be-
hind to deplore his loss. AS son, he was
dutiful and obedient; as brother, he was
kind and affectionate. He was esteemed
by all who knew him. Those who have
lost him in these relations, will ever cherish
and revere his memory; and they are only
coneoled by the humble hope that his pure
meekness OF spirit have assured him his
reward above.
Though hush'd forever is his tone,
or joyousness and mirth,
And we no more his form can see
Amid the scenes Of earth.
Yet hallowed thoughts OF by-gone days,
Will in our bosom dwell, ~
And we can keep his image
Within sweet memory's cell.

'icVIonENT TORNADO IN BARNwEIu.-
On Friday, the 29th ultimo, one of
the most violent tornadoes that
ever swept over this section of
country, was experienced about az
miles above this village. It's fury
was confined to a very narrow scope,
covering in width about quarter of
a mile. Trees, fences, out-houses, &C., /,
were levelled to the ground, and some
three or four of our planting friends,
on whom it vented its spleen, will
not be able this year to clear their
land. On one place there was not q
single tree left standing. A wagon
was carried some forty or fifty yards
end stove into atoms, and q large
tree, after it was uprooted. was car
ried some twenty or thirty feet from
where it grew, and lodged against q
tree. Fortunately no lives were lost,
but the extent of the damage cannot
be estimated; even the cotton left
standing: in the fields was spun out a
yard in length. and much of it
twisted. Our informant, Mr.. s. O.
Cave, q gentleman who can be relied
on, states that he has never seen any
thing TO equal it, and the oldest in
habitant does not recollect ever
witnessing such storm.
