ALBANY.


BRUSHING UP.-East Albany is i'm
proving in its appearance. Mr.. G. h.
RowelI has given his house a new
coat of paint; VIM. Reardon has cree
ted new and good house this season
and others are also improving their
habitations materially. There is con-
nected with this place, a sawmill,
starch factory, a good school house,
one store, post-office, blacksmith shop,
Joiners, &c. The general appearance
among the farmers speak well for them,
and show them to be improving in
material wealth-and certainly the
school houses and churches through
out this part of the town speak vol
umes for the intellectual, moral, and
religious culture enjoyed by its inhao-
itants. There are six school houses
here, and not one poor one. This, we
think, is an indication in the right d.
rection Quite an interest is awaken
ed among some Of the farmers, in su-
gar-mlking, aud preparations are be-
ing made by some to do an extensive
business in this direction. Perhaps
others may be induced to buy a few
more implements aud try to make
more sugar, This branch of farmi ne
does not exhaust the soil, and pays a
clean profit.

MEMORIAL RECORD.-A "MemOridL
Record" "a brief of which we mention
ed last week of the soldiers furn-
ished by the town of Greensboro for
the U. S. army, from 1875, is just
published. 1t has long been promis-
ed, and now appears as pamphlet
of IS pages, prepared by E. E. Rol-
Inns, himself one of the earliest who
enlisted from the town. The author
strongly asserts the accuracy Of his
work, and puts it forth "not as a lit
erary production, but as truthful &C
count of actual occurrences" He
states the action of the town at vari-
Gus times with reference to the enlist
ment and payment of soldiers, and
shows an aggregate of ia accredited
to its quota. OF these 7 were not &C
credited by name, 80 died, 5 deserted,
and 63 were discharged, leaving 7 un-
accounted for. A brief military biog-
raphy Of 40 is given al alphabetically,
including 10 citizens of the town who
enlisted elsewhere, and this is follow
ed by an account Of the organization
and movements Of each regiment that
left the state. The work is merely a
compilation, and its value as a history
will depend upon the particular stand
point from which the author gathers
his facts, as we'll as upon the range
and real accuracy of its information.

run, upsetting the buggy and throwing

the reins and was dragged some dis
lance, but stopped him after he had
whirled round few times on the com
mon. The dasher of the buggy was
damaged, one of the shafts was bro
ken, and the horse was somewhat Gu
upon his legs, but luckily no person
was harmed.

THE ABDUCTION SToRY.-In another pa
ragraph we have q comment on the story
of the abduction Of negroes in Florida to
sell them as slaves in Cuba. There is an
other key to this statement, if untrue. 1t
may be the initiation Of a series of frauds
to raise a clarnor against the Spanish au-
thorities in Cuba upon which to Justify a
seizure of that rich island. A people who
could manufacture gross lies to instigate
expressions of their own fellow-citizens
would not hesitate to resort to the same
sort of strategy to bring about the seizure
of o coveted domain. ~
The Home Government Of Spain indeed
seems to be favoring any designs of this
sort that may exist by it's recent interdic-
ton of American journals-not even al
lowing Minister HALE to receive his pa
pers-a hard case to a fanatic such as he is,
to whose existence the contents Of radical
organs are an indispensable stimulant.
Suppress the organs of the Government +!
The peoples Government !! aye, and de-
prive Mr.. HALE Of his papers! That is an
offence against the majesty of the people,
we suppose, in the minds Of some quite
sufficient to justify the seizure of Cuba
certainly it will be regarded as provoca-
ton enough for q thousand f~alsehoods
that may "do the thing up"
