UNPLEASANT MID SUMMER DREAMS.
AT an early hour yesterday morning the
siumbers of those living in the vicinity of
Eighth and Cary streets were broken by
shrieks of murder robbers! fire !" The
neghborhood was aroused, and for two
squares around might be seen the sad faces
of women and children. while men of fstrong
arm and nerve were frantically rushing to
the scene to render such assistance as might
be needed. On arriving at the spot from
whence emanated those midnight comming-
ling of sad voices, our reporter discovered
at second-story window the heads of
three of our newly made citizens, the
centre one of whom held lighted torch in
hand. lnqulring the cause, they supposed
an attempt at robbery had been made on
their premises; but on closer investigation
suspicion pointed to unpleasant midsummer
dreams brought on by too free use of "wet
groceries,"

Opinion Of the Press.

lfTom the fnllauelphia PfeSsl
The state campaign was opened yester-
day in Virginia by the convention of the
Republican party, which was large and
nor, Colonel r. w. Hughes. as we have
before pointed out, is calculated to be a
strong candidate. His reputation for
integrity is good; he is widely known
among both white and colored resi-
dents of the state; he is familiar with
public affairs, and has the courage of
his convictions" Although identified
with the rebellion, he had the sense and
patriotism to accept the situation fairly and
fully at the close of the war. He has been
since then q frank and consistent Republi-
can. AS for his prospects, he can have
the encouragement of knowing that The
New York World predicts his certain
defeat. No stronger p,7naa facie evidence
of his success could be desired.

just as he pauses in his profanity to
congratulate himself, it takes new

bump himself on fresh places, A
man never ceases to fall over a wheel
barrow nntil it turns completely en- its
back, or bring up against something
it cannot upset It is the most inof-
fensiyo looking object there is, but
is more dangerous than a locomotive,
and no man is secure with one unless
he has tight hold Of its handles, and
is sitting down on something. a
wheelbarrow has its uses, without doubt
but in its leisure moments it is the
great blighting curse on tue dignity.

,Aralk with our Subscribers.

We do not enter upon this task with
ANY pleasure, indeed it is a, part of our
business that is most distasteful, but at
the opening of the New Year, we think it
eminently proper to say few words to
our delinquent subscribers.
Having looked over cur books lately,
we fnd several hundred that are in arrears
for the CHRONICLE, These we are pa,ticu-
larly anxious to hear from. They are in
different parts of The. county, and SONS
reside at an inconyenient distance from
this place; but to those we would suggest
they send US little Of the filthy Luere by
post or postofiice order-if it is only a
part that is due it will be thankfully re-
ceived. To those that have little or no
money, we would suggest that they bring
us wood, hay, oats; corn, etc. We stand
in readiness at all times to take what our
subscribers can spare, paying the highest
market price for tho same.
We are satisfied that our subscribers
are good honest men, but the trouble
seems to be that each individual thinks
that he is the only one delinquent, and
that we can easily afford that, so we
could, if it were so, but many are in ar
rears from one to six years. These
amounts are but small individually, bat
the sum total foots up fcarfully, and is OF
the greatest Importance to as, making
thousands Of dollars which should by
all means be settled up at this time.
1t is useless for us to undertake to tell
what trouble and anxiety the getting up
of readable paper is. for none but an
Eiitor knows anything about it, but we
can say, that our whole time is devoted to
the work, giving you as good a paper as
the circumstances will admit. The good
book says The laborer is worthy Of his
hire" and we imagine every man that
thinks anything about ii at all will come
to the same conclusion in our case.
The material for running printing
Office is extremely costly, and everything
we use is a cash article. Our paper alone
costs us a small fortune every year; our
help must be paid cash fer Their services
our type, ink, and thousand and one ar

grave question, how the publisher can

Antiquity Of Buckwhe at Cakes,

in the twelfth century, entitled, eye

which he had aquired with infinite
oil, was breasting current of his fol-
lowers, each of whom, as is the etiq-
uette, insisted u. on stopping him, feel
ing him all over, and shaking hands,
It occurred to him that an excess of
ceremony is an abuse Of courtesy. SO
he laid down his burden, sat upon it,
folded all his legs tight to his body,
and smiled smile Of great grimness

you ?" exclaimed the first insect whose

that corn. La condition OF primitive
