The North Carolina Presbyterian in an
article on the Raleigh Fair, has the fol-
lowing say relative to the apples placed on
exhibition
And those apples yonder. Talk about
the Northern pippiDs. Northern people
don't know what good apple IS, till they
have sc a Buncomte raised apple. Look
&. this, yellow as gold, fragment as a.
vioIst, with a ckin like satin, or its mon
srou7 red neighbor, scarlet and gray,
weighing 81 ounces, ripening for Christ
Il2a. There are miles of these apples all
ever Buncombe, selling for 30 cents
bnshel Bat then We all prefer to pay
o'gAt or nine dollars barrel for Northern
ppgiLs." North Carolina apples are
without h0nOr IN their own country.
We take TIE following from the Hills
b0ro Recorder: The man who can have
his coffin made while alive, must look at
death phiiosophicslIy. We hear of case
il point in Person county : Mr.. Richard
Harris, who lives near Bradsher's store,
thirty-odd years ago turned out a sassafras
tree to grow for the purpose of making
himself cofin, and about twelve months
ago the old man had it cut down and got
some one il Roxborough to make his coffin
Gu; Ct it. The cd chap occasionally gets
~ 1t and stretches himself out by way of
showing his neigLbors good TT" He
p'lu the m .ker Of the coffin in wheat, so
he IS one living man who will have no fuss
over his grave about the coffin when dead.
This reminds US Of al old coon in Nor
1'eesboro.' n. c., who had a coffin cas-. of
IRON before the war. He had his grave
dug, q so. and walled mn with br;oL it'll
