A GIRL's THROAT FATALLY Cur BY
THE CoRE OF AN APPLE. Miss Mary
Ellen Foy, the young lady whose throat
was cut by the core of an apple in the Nor
NAL School a few days ago, is dying. She
was cutting the apple. and while in the act
of swallowing portion Of the core it cut
the lining of her throat and several Of the
arteries like knife. Her classmates were
astonished to see her fall over on the floor
and vomit large quantities Of blood. She
was carried to the police station but lit:le
could be done for her beyond keeping her
perfectly quiet.
Her mother. who had been summoned,
was not allowed to remove her until next
morning for fear Of fatal consequences. -
The poor woman sat in the station house
watching her daughter all night. Next
she took her home, where she has lain ever
since, slowly wasting away. II is impossi-
bic for her to swallow anything whatever
and her stomach has become so contracted
that nothing can enter it. She is 20 weak
from loss Of blood and starvation that the
physicians in attendance refuse to perform
any operation on her. or even to insert a
silver feeding tube below the wound, as has
been successfully dine n other instances
where the mouth or throat have been in
jured. They say that she could dot survive

GEN. ALFRED MI SCALEsS.

The nomination Of this distinguished gen-
tleman for the Gubernatorial chair of N.
Carolina. takes like wild-fre all over the
State, and some Of the Virginia presses
compliment the nomination. Gen. SCALES
would makethe people an able and accep-
table Governor, and we propose finging
our banner to the breeze for TRUMBULL,
Of ILL.,, for President, Gov. WALKER. Of
Va, for Vice-president, and Hon. A. NJ.
SCALES. Of Rockingham, for Governor.
We do not propose discussing the Pres
ideutial nominees just now. Our object is
to bring Gen. SCALES as prominently be-
fore the People as he faced the enemy du-
ring the entire war. He is gentleman Of
high order Of talents. and every man who
served under him iii the army loved him
like brother. This fact speaks volumes
for the man. for that war tried something
more than the pluck of men--it tried the
goodness and kindness of their hearts
Confronting danger on a thousand battle
fields and Sinking no duty or responsible
lty, he carried bis men into the tight as fal
as the farthest, and with a Generosity that
always told he knew how to 60 in and
| come out without the sacrifice of his men
from bad management. Though stanch
Conservative he is not q rampant extremist.
Like the lamented Gen. LEE he accepts
the situation, and abides the reconstruction
measures of Congress in good faith. unit
the people alter or change them.
Gen. SCALES represented the Rocking
ham district in Congress some years agc
with distinguished ability, and reflected
high credit upon the intelligence Of his con
stituents. the honor Of the State and th,
head and heart Of the man. Push on Tho
ball--ScALEs is the man for Governor.

DETERIORATION or THE WHEAT
Tp0p

Recent writers (sayst tho Richmond Whig)
on the subject Of the deterioration Of the
wheat crop, both as 70 quantity and quail
~, assign the following as the main causes !:
Different varieties Of the wheat plant sown
in proximity become hybridized BY the
mixing Of the pollen Of the blossom and
yields an inferior grain. To keep varie-
" Of wheat distinct and pure, there must
be considerable intervening distance be-
tween plants Of other varieties. Other
causes which have heretofore been mention
ed are imperfect following, careless culture,
seeding. harvesting and threshing and,
above all. the sowing Of poor seed, ippre-
grated With much foreign seed or matter.
The use Of barp-ysrd soil is censured BY
one writer as food too coarse when fresh
for the delicate wheat plant.

A COBRA IN LOVE WIFH A WOMAN
A very extraordinary and astonishing incl
dent was lately reported to have occurred
a few miles from Beypore, the particulars
of which are as follows:
A native female. Of very attractive APP
pearance, of the carpenter caste, while
sweeping the yards Of her house. heard a
kissing noise behind her. AS she turned to
see what it was, shc found to her terror .
large cobia advancing toward her. Before
she had time to call any one to her assist
ance, or even to 20 from the place, the SER
pent darted at her like lightning, and coil
ed around one Of her legs, and in the twin
kle Of an eye darted higher and higher till
it brought its open hood in contact with her
face, there moving it TO and fro like screen.
In this pitiable and frightful position she
had to remain foronearly one or two days
without.being anble to lie or sleep. None
but females could approach her to feed her
with milk and plantains, when the cobra
turned its head to one side and gave her
ample time to- nourish herself but on any
man stepping into the compound the cobra
would hiss fearfully. and tighten its hold
around her body in such a manner as to
make her feel breathless. Many were
the conjurors who came to relieve her from
the frightful condition, but none succeeded
in removing the hugo serpent from her per-
son, till latterly a Nair was brought from
the interior. who after performing certain
charms and spells, succeeded in disentang-
ling the poor woman from her venomous
lover. The snake quietly crept back into
the bush whence it came, and the woman il
now doing well. The above wonderful oc-
currence is now general talk among the
natives Of the place.

saaatoga-Women ana Racing.

] A correspondent OF the New I Ork WorlC
writes: "We may here remark that racing
matters in general form the paramount sub
jects Of attraction OF present In Saratoga
even among the ladies', and that dancing and
even dressing are losing their charms for the
female mind, palling before the delicious ex-
element Of betting Formerly every la
dy at Saratoga danced or dressed to an ex-
treme, but now the bathrooms OF the great
hotels are comparatively deserted, dry goods
are no longer the rage, even the hair-dresser
has ceased to be in demand, and the race
track is the place aux danes. One young
lady at the Union lost $500 on Kingfsher,
while a friend Of hers, residing at the Con
gress, won enough gloves, it is calculated.
to last her for i've years to come. Women
talk horse and pool instead of beaux and
scandal, and it has even been suggested to
finish the racing season here with a dash OF
lady riders. One lady, residing at cottage
on Lake avenue, grooms her own fayorite
horse daily, while it is a very common spec
taclc that or fashionable lady "doing her
own driving" and handling the ribbons
well.''.

WHINrNa.-Ttere is a class of people in
this worldly no means small whose pro-
minent popularity is whining. They whine
because they are poor; or. if richs. because
they have no health to enjoy their riches;
they whine because It is too. shiny; they
whine because they hare mo luck" and
others prosperity exceeds theirs; they whine
because some friends have died and they are
living; they whine because they have aches
and because they whine, and they whine no
one can tell why. Now, we would like to
shy word to these whining persons. First.
stop whining-it is no use, this everlasting
complaining, frctting, fault-fnding and
whining. WHY, yeu are the most deluded
set of creatures that ever lived! Do you
knew that it Is well settled principle of
physiology and common sense that these
habits are more exhausting to nervous vital
ity than almost any almost any other viola
ton Of physie logical law? And do you not
know that life is pretty much as you make
it? You can make it bright and sunshiny,
or you eau make it dark and shadowy. This
life is only meant to discipline us--to lit US
for higher and purer state of being. Then
stop whining and fretting, and 60 on your
way rejoicing.
