THE FIRST GUN-The first volunteer gun OF
I the campaign was fred off at New Hope on Sat
urday last At the earnest solicitation of some
Of the prominent citizens of that vicinity, Mr. G..
NJ. Harrison, of this city, delivered speech in
the interest of the Conservative party, and in fa
yor CT Greeley and Brown. We learn from those
p who heard his remarks, that they were well con-
ceiyed and arranged and handsomely delivered.
The audience was large and appreciatlve. Mr..
n is neither an office holder an Office seeker,
and therefore his may be regarded the first speech
of a volunteer deliveredin the county He is one
of our most promising young lawy ers-solid, SEN
tenious. and persevering, and IS destined to take
high posit!oo at the bar, and IN the confidence
of the people.
Cry PaorERrY.-Dr J. A. Davidson has ex-
changed his very desirable city property, on
Main street, valued at $4,000, to Mr.. Heyden-
reich, of Big Springs, Roanoke for a farm valued
at SIS, 900, paying the difference
Misses Juliet Baldwin and Agnes McClung. Of
!, tae Augusta Female Seminary, nave purchased
of Mrs Judge Lucas T. Thompson, through her
agent, Capt Olando Smith, the residence and
grounds she now occupies, for the sum OF Slo,
\ COOS, 900 cash. and the balance lin l, 2 and !
years. This property adjoins the premises OIL
the Seminary, aud and is one of the most lnvlt-
ing and desirable properties in the city, espec
tally adapted to the purposes for which, doubt
less, the purchasers design using tan enlarge
ment of the acoomm ID atoms OF their popular
school.
IMPORTED SrocK-It will be remembered that
several weeks ago we advertised the sale, by Nm.
Easton, of some imported sheep, at Charlottes-
Vile. We learn that that lot was the finest ever
seen in this country, and created surprise even
with such noted stock dealers Slaughter Flick
lin. John Woods, jr., the Haxalls, and Mr. New
man. of Orange. Some Of the fleeces OF these
sheep ranged as high as IS lbs washed wool viii IN
was readily sold at so cts. per Id Some OF the
sheep weighed as high as 400 lbs, and only Two
wears old. Mr.. Gill, an English gentlemen, who
imported them will have another lot from tho
Old Country some time during the fall. 1t Is
surprising to us that stock raisers did not at
tend this sale. Sheep are certainly very proht-
able, not only for the wool, but by reason OF their
rapid multiplication. The lambs Of the Leicester
sheep. at SIX months DID, weigh about 200 lbs
twice as large as the best of our full grown
stock Would it not be good investment for our
farmers to introduce this species of sheep into
this section?
MOZART INsrITurE.-We understand that Judge
McLaug hln has granted act of incorporation
for this Institute, Rev. R. H. Phillips, Stauntor,
Jos, Santini, New Orleans, J. D. Hartsook and
