We are aware that the life Of a paper Is
its local department, the people expect
to find that which interests them most
country news. And yet the masses lit
tie know what editors have to contend
against in procuring items for their local
pages. We hear OF nothing occurring
throughout the country, and in lieu there
Of are compelled TO draw continually up
on the Imagination and exchanges; and
then subscribers complain because there
Is no local news in the paper. Who is
10 blame for thisf Certainly we are not,
for we are moi trayersing the country, aud
consequently can not tell what Is happen.
ing. There is only one way to remedy
this. Whenever anything occurs, such az
accidents, fires, parties, building erected,
or any such items Of interes, let some
one write rs the facts. We do not
ask for grammatical sentences. If you arc
not a good spcller OF fine pcntnan, your
little bit Of news will not be received any
the less thankfully. II will not take much

AN UNsoLvED MYsTERY.--A rather funny
story comes from Louisville, Ky, the parties
to which were man and woman who went to
one of the principal city hotels last Saturday
night and were registered as Mr.. J. d. Free
man and wife, Brocton, N. Y. One room was
of course assigned to them but scarcely had
they been left within it when violent ringing
was heard on the bell answering to room No.
27. The servant made all haste to see what was
the matter, and was informed by the lady i'll
high dudgeon that she was not Mr.. Freeman's
wife and would not share his room; he was a
crazy man whom she was taking North The
servant ran down stairs to tell the news, but
Mr.. Freeman ran after him and told the clerk
that she was crazy, and he was taking her
North with him. The clerk went up stairs
and the woman reiterated her story, but said,
when asked on the subject, that her name was
Mrs. J. ID. Freeman nevertheless she must
have another room, and the clerk acquicsced,
and adjoining apartments were given to the
crazy pair, labelled Nos. 80 and 40 In q few
minutes both bells rang, and the clerk and bell
boy flew to see what was up now, and found
the pair in the hall berating each other. Both
demanded the eilectual closing of the door be-
tween their respective rooms Their wish
was complied with and no more row was made,
but on the morrow the two came down to break
fast together, partook Of the same dishes, and
billed and cooed us if there had never been
any trouble between them, yet in way Which
would have been highly reprehensible had they
been unmarried. Then they went away, leav-
ing the pnzzclcd clerk to tear his hair over the
uusolyed mystery.

FANCY BALE OF CorroN.-The New York
Herald of the 22nd ultimo furnishes this ex-
traordinary history of fancy bale of cotton re-
Gently sold in that market:
A sample of the finest bale of cotton ever
produced was exhibited at the New York Cot
ton Exchange yesterday. The weight of the
bale was 449 pounds, which, in the aggregate
realized the respectable sum of S3312.2O-an
average of 81 4S per pound. The cotton was
raised by w. B. McShaw, Lee County, Missis-
sippi, and was picked by himself, wife and
daughter, in their parlor, and took the first
premium of $500 for the best bale of short sta
pie cotton offered at the st. Louis fair last Oc-
tober. Again it took the sweepstakes prize of
$1,000 offered for the best bale of either long or
short staple. After this Mr.. McShaw donated
the cotton TO the Southern Educational Socic-
ty, which offered it on the St. Louis Corn Ex-
change, and sold it to Mr.. ID. G. Tutt, at thirty
cents per pound. Mr.. Tutt in turn, presented
it to the same society, when it was again sold
at twenty-five cents per pound. Again it was
presented to the society, when it realized thirty
eight cents per pound, the buyer in this case
presenting it as formerly. After this it was not
offered for sale by the society," but was ratified
for one thousand dollars, and afterwards sold
and resold, to be finally purchased by Messrs.
Shyrock & Rowland, of st. Louis, who shipped
it to Messrs. Norton, Slaughter & Co., of this
city, for the purpose of getting it so far away as
to prevent it being entered for the one thousand
dollar premium to be offered at the fair in Oc-
tober next, as well as to test the appreciation of
Northern factors and manufacturers of the in
dustry of Mrs. McShaw and daughter. whose
fair hands have prepared for exhibition, beyond
doubt, the finest bale of cotton ever grown in
any country. Mcssrs Norton, Slaughter IL Co..
report the sale of this cotton at fifty cents per
pound through Messrs. S. Mum, Son & Co.,
cotton brokers, to Mr.. Jonathan Earl, treasurer
of Norfolk and New Brunswick Hosiery Com
pany, of New Brunswick, NJ. At the request
of Mr.. Earl, MIR. Slaughter will write Mrs. Nc
Shaw for measurement Of herself and daughter,
who will be presented with full undcrsuits
manufactured from this remarkable cotton.

CULTIVATION OF TEA IN THE SOUTH.-It is
now nearly twenty-five years ago that MIR.
Junius Smith, of South Carolina, attempted the
cultivation of tea in this country, and ever since
that time it has been grown with moderate sue
cess in various parts of the South. A gentle
man in Wilmington, North Carolina, has sue
cessfully raised plants and cured tea, which, he
claims, cannot be excelled in flavor by the i'm
ported article He obtained the plants from
the Agricultural Bureau Of the Patent Office,
previous to the war, and their number has in
creased every year, the later plants being fully
equal in every respect to those first grown
Successful experiments have also recently been
made in South Carolina, Tennessee and Cali
fornia, and the climate of several other sections
of the United States is undoubtedly well adap-
ted to this plant. California especially seems to
possess peculiar advantages in this respect, and
tea culture has already commenced among the
Chinese who have settled there, and with the
most encouraging results. A California writer,
who has taken considerable pains 10 investigate
the subject, and has made the experiment him.
self, SAYS that the location best adapted to the
growth of the tea plant is found to be high roll
ling land, cold enough to have some winter
frost. "Our hills" he says "are exactly suited
to them. The plants arc very hardy, and a
sufficient number has been planted to give sat-
isfactory evidence that they will thrive, and it
is believed that their culture will eventually
prove as successful here as on the foot hills of
the snowy Himalayas of Northwestern India,
where the home production has now COM
pletely superseded all importations from Chi
no Is
