4 Burdpned State.

Last week the State Of North Carolina
voted upon several proposed amendments
to her constitution Tho vote was light,
little interest being taken in the subject
but the indications are that all the amend.
ments were adopted by large majority.
Surely nothing short Of absolute necessity
would induce the citizens Of this once proud
old State TO iavor-or even regard with in
diferenco--.uch radical changes 10 her or
ganiolaw. Substantially, they are as follows:
L. Aboli-hes The taking Of State census.
. Provides for biennial sessions OF the lcgis-
nturc.
3 EnIarges personal property exemption
from taxHiinn
Ahll-hcs the Office Of Superintendent Of
Public Works.
o. Strikes from the constitution the require
mcut TINT the legislature shall levy tax To
pay the interest ON the State debt
Sand z. Abolish cCrtain other Offices
IS f1rbils persln~ holding federal Offices
from hulling seats ia the legislature.
The 9Th amendment is most important,
since it is designed to relieve che State,
temporarily at least, from the payment Of
the interest on the State debt The debt
Of the State is as follows:

harmless and the wounded are healed with

published around each bottle. 1t is selling
as no article ever before sold, and it sells
because it does just what it pretends to do.
Those who now suffer from rheumatism. pa q

use Centaur Liniment. More than 1000
certificates of remarkable cures, including
frozen Limbs, chronic rheumatism, govt.
running tumors, &C., have been received
We will send circular containing certif-
Gates, the recipe, &c, gratis, to any one re.
questing it. One bottle of the yellow wrap
per Centaur Liniment is worth one hundred
dollars for spawned or sweenied horses and
mules, or for screw-worm in sheep Stock
owners-this liniment is worth your atten-
ton. No family should be without Centaur

The case of the Montpelier and Wells River
Railroad Co., VS.. James R. Langdon, which
was On trial last Wednesday was an &C
ton for TIE $4,000 subscription OF the
defendant to that road. 1t has been once
through both the County and Supreme
Courts already, and is now again on its wind
ing way.
Judge Barrett, before whom it was tried,
at this present term, directed a verdict for
the plaintiff corp0r alton. The defendant ex-
cepted and it is understood that the points
which Judge Barrett overruled and on which
the case goes again to the Supreme Court,
are that there never was any legal organiza-
ton OF the road; that there never was a
proper distribution or award of stock and
that the five per cent of subscriptions re-
CURED to be paid in, was not paid in either
y the defendant or by any large number OF
other subscribers. The case OF the NJ. & w.
R. r. R. against George Shepard, for his
subscription Of 81 600, rests on the same
state OF facts.

IN M EMO RAM

We regret TO announce the death of Idella Chad
wick, wife ofCharles IL. Chadwick and. only laugh
ter of E. n Ainsworth who departed this life on the
18th of March, 1873, at 10 years of age.
The oft repeated saying that " Death loves shin
ing mari" was never more clearly proved true than
in the mysterious Providence that removed from {
large circle of friends and acquaintance the sub
ject of this sketch. Nature had bestowed upon her
more than an ordinary degree of amiability and
loveline.s Those who knew her best knew
most of her goodness 1t is less than year aud a
half since we announced triple wedding; this
departed friend and her companion were part OF
the number that made that occasion so joyous.
Never have we known home which promised such
perfect happiness and prosperity early bereft OF
its choicest blessing and all its fond hopes so com
ple'elyt blighted. May heaven spare her little son
to cheer and bless the lonely frese of the bereav-
ed parents and companion.

The CHAMPION HAwKIsT.--Mr Elijah
Ladd, a valued CITIZEN of Barre, has caught,
during the past three years, ninety-seven
hawks and owls. The past year he captured
thirtyone; and his neighbors are getting up
a subscription for his benefit. Last year
they presented him with about fifteen dollars,
and the year before with nearly as much
This year they mean to do better; for they
feel that he has done great service in max
ing their poultry 80 much more secure. Now
they lose scarcely chicken or young turkey
where before they disappeared by the half
dozen or score, and they were compelled to
keep a yisiant watch for the wary, thicvlng
hawk
Mr.. Ladd has thinned them off in this vi
entity SO that they are now few and far be-
ta cen; aud when we chance to see one, We
look upon him more as a spy than a resident.
If he stays long, he is pretty sure to be made
a prisoner, and that without gun or waste of
ammunition He has captured some of the
largest of their kind
Frogs abound near Mr.. Ladd 5 residence,
and the hawks and owls resort thither for
sumptuous meals They are glad of a stake
or post to aiight on while watching for the
unsuspecting frog; aud while they are more
intent upon the frogs, after alighting, than
upon the trencher Of the trap, they are
pretty surely made prisoners, with Que or
| both legs in the trap.
Mr. Ladd took this idea from seeing them
often perched on stake near the pond.
where frogs were plenty when the ground
was not frozen. He usually has, in the
trapping season, from two to four traps set,
without bait, and all fastened lie had one
prisoner that unfastened his trap and sIe5ad-
dled with it, being prisoner at large; but
one of the neighb)rs found the Identical trap,
with the remains Of the skedaddler; and this
is recloned as one o. our friends trophies.
| If any one has beaten Mr.. Ladd in catching
hawks and owls, W would like to hear from
/ him and know the way ne did it. For man
past three score and ten years, and in poor
health. we think, has interested himself very
much in our welfare, and showed himself a
man Of thought and energy. wv.
