Notwithstanding the great loss by

those of any cline.

Der. there were scarcely enough people
at Durham to entitle it to the name of
Il village. Now, it is an Incorporated
town, with near thousand lnhabit-

at least in North Carolina, has been
brought about by the development of
one enterprise, to wit: the manufacture

The counties of Orange, Person,

one needs to be told that these coun-
ties produce as fine tobacco as can be
found in the world. To manufacture
this tobacco there are about fourteen
factories of various capacities giving
employment to large number of
hands. Between the first of January

escaped upsetting the craft. The men.

going to sea and tried TO break the
chain but decidedly failed. They then
reeorted to praying which seemed to
prve more effectual for the line finally
parted and the men were saved.

4 Man KILLED on THE '. L. L. K.
R.-Of the injury and death Of an en-
pioye of the Virginia and Truckee Rail
way the Chronicle Of last evening says:
John Strout, q native of Maine, aged
about "a years, and for several years last
past in the employ Of the Virginia and
Truckee Railroad Company, met with an
accident in Gold Hill at s o'clock last
evening, which proved fatal in a few
hours. For the past year deceased had
been night foreman of a gang Of mon
employed about the Gold Hill yard Of
the railroad, and it was in the perform
ance OF his duties as such that he met
with the fatal accident last evening. A
car loaded with mining timbers had been
cut loose from a train at the depot to be
run down to the Belcher mine, and
while it was in motion Strout attempted
to board the car. He missed his footing
and fell under the wheels, which cut of
his right leg just below the knee and shat
tered the joint above. We conld not learn
whether or not any other injuries were
inflicted, but as his pantaloons were torn
from the left leg also it is presumed that
he sustained other wounds. The shat
tered limb was amputated soon after the
accident occurred, and death came to the
relief of the sufferer en- hour afterward.

As CUE a performance as anybody

which this thing works may be imagined

that they were benefited by the opera

HOME, SWEET HoME.It has been
twenty-one years since, in o foreign coun-
try and among strangers, that the erratic,
but brilliant life Of John Howard PAYNE,
the author Of "Home Sweet Home,o was
ended, and now his native city of New
York is just honoring his genius by the
erection of his bust in one of her public
parks. All that was mortal Of the gifted
author and composer lies in the ground at
Tunis, hard by tho tapping Of the Mediter-
ranean waves upon the African shore, and
it is fitting that such small honor as his
countrymen may pay his memory should
receive some such lasting testimonial. But
in the hearts and by the firesides Of
America there is d more precious
monument to his name than any forged ol
bronze or wrought in marble. The author
Of satHome, Sweet Home" will never be
forgotten in the homes of his people, while
the sweet music and the pathetic words Of
that ballad are sung by their sons ane
daughters. He embalmed in song thevery
spirit of home. and made himself tn,
minstrel Of the household. It was while
IN Tunis that he wrote the words andEse
them to an old Italian air. which suit
them as perfectly as if they had beer
created expressly for each other. M

school Gardening.

Some suggestive statements on this sub
jcct, which was recently discussed by the
Potomac fruit growers, we condense from
a report in The Maryland Farmer: Mr..
j. L. Smith gave the description of Ger
man school. In the rear of the school
buildings there was large garden, which
was divided into squares of about l25
square feet each, and which was entirely
devoted to the use of the pupils. Those
scholars who distinguished themselves in
behavior, application, etc., were picked
out and divided into clubs Of three. Each
of those clubs was assigned the use of one
Of the aforesaid squares, which they were
to cultivate themselves with flowers, vege-
tables and various kinds of fruits. The
tools were furnished by the school, while
the scholars found the seed. During the
recess, instead of climbing about or indulg
ing in other dangerous plays, IT was the
greatest pleasure Of the scholars to
work in their garden. Those who
did not take particular care Of
their portion were dismissed, and
others put in their place. On that accorint
each scholar tried to excel the other; each
tried to lay his portion out in the most
handsome design; each wanted to have the
prettiest flowers. In fact, it was pleasure
to look at the garden to see as many differ
ent designs as there were squares, each
filed with the most beautiful and fragrant
flowers. and making itself a great instruc
tor. Colonel q. s. Chamberlain was glad
to hear. these facts, but said that we were
not behind in that. and cited cases where
grounds attached to schools were under
cultivation. But it was doubtful whether
American boys, within schools generally,
would allow the fruit to mature-the result
of the experiment would be "a scramble
for the -ipeningp rizes. MIR. Smith replied
that that was one Of the very important
obiects-to train the youth of America to
regard and esteem these useful matters in.
the right light, to use them at the proper
times, and not to be selfish pilferers.

need repetition. Except for the groundless fears

made upon us, we could have met them, had
there been a marlSe fer our securities.
We have lost nothing by the failures TT the
North, and cur condition is as solvent rs at any
time. Until the finances of The country settle
down, we must rely on our collections to pay our
indebtedness. This will be done in pro rata in

In view OF the inevitable delays in resuming
business, and the necessity of cur large custom
for banking facilities, and that We may in

friends, and with their aid and that of many of
our most active and substantial business men,
have decided To organize The Bank of fCommeIce,

visions of the laws of the state.
The collections now in cur hands, bel ongmg to
