MISS NANCY NfisILIAEsD.

Every graduate of Chapel Hill, says
the Charlotte ObscrCE!', knows Miss
Nancy Hilliarl, who for so many years
rs the presiding genius OF one of the
best of boarding houses, administered
to the comfort and happiness of the
students. No one knew her but to like
her. She was ever kind and cOnsid
crate and pleasant i'll all her dealings
with 1.-The boys" throughout the long
time she lived at the University. Few
there are of the Alumni, we imagine,
wlo cannot recall many little kind
nesses received from her hand during
their collegiate course. By he" long
connection with the University she
came to be looked upon as one of the
institutions of Chapel Hill, and was an
universal favorite among the young
men. Her fortunes fell with those OF
the University, and in her old age she
was turned adrift upon the world, shat
tered in health as well as fortune
Bowed with age rs she was, the good
old lady was compelled to struggle for
q living, and that, too, under the most
adverse circumstances Like the i'll
fatcd College, whose dark and empty
buildings stand i'll CHASTITY array round
about her lonely habitation. she is but
Il wreck of her fOrme: sClf-a relic of
days gone by. Her declining years,
instead of being bright with good
cheer, have been darkened with the
shadows of adversely. Poverty has
stared her in the face, and now, to
crown her misfortuncs, disease has
stricken her down, and she lies, aged
and helpless, i'll the drcary shades Of
ruined Chapel Hill.
We concur most heartily in this well
deserved tribute and sincerely deplore
the poverty 'ricken condition of one
whose long life of honest toll and
kindly deeds seems to have deserved n
more propitious ending. We have
been informed from other sources too
that but for the Kindness OF friends
and neiShbors, Miss Nancy would now
be suffering for the actual necessarle'
of life.
But our purpose is not to parade
the pitiable condition of this venerable
old lady before the public, SO much as
to make an attempt to alleviate 1T.
Ought not something be done i'll heI
behalf by those who, i'll her more
prosperous days, received SO many
kindnesscs at her hands We think
there can be but one answer to tins
question.
The Editors of the JOURNAL vii
take pleasure III forwarding to her any
sums that may be entrusted to then
for her benefit. 1t will be lasting
shame upon "Chapel Hillians" not to
do something to relieve the wants o
their old friend who now lies at death
door, stricken with disease and The
inirmit.es Of age.
Since writing the above we hav'
received a communication upon th
subject, which will be found i'll anothe
column. The suggestions which
contains are good, and will, we trust

Miss Nancy Billiard.

NCSsl's. EGitOrs:-The notice in
the Journal of yesterday of the desti-
tute condition of that good woman,
Miss Nancy Hilliard, coupled with the
news that she is utterly helpless, as n
paraly yLir, appeals to the gratitude of a, l
of her former boardCrS for some means
to alleviate her condition. We feel
sure that both Of you nave grateful
recollections Of her many kindnesses
when you were among her "boys," IS
she used TO call us, and that the
JoURSAL will be prompt to extend this
call for contributions. If 81 could be
collected from each one of her old
bOartlers, or forwarded by them to
James Watson, Esq, III Chapel Hill,
for her benefit, even if this be con-
fined to North Carolina, it will do
much tow ard alleviating the sutferings
and cares incident to her physical con-
dition and advanced age.
This sum is little enough, and we
know that many Il man will be glad to
make this recognition of the hearty and
tender care which it was Miss Nancy s
plf asure always to bestow.
Let the papers, i'll the State and out
of it if they will, make known to her
''boys" hos wants, and the response
Will be in keeping with the tender
feelings with which she is recol.ected.
Mr.. Watson will no doubt assume
charge of this fund, if it can be raised,
and dispense it for Miss Nancy &
benefit. We hope to hear good reports
from tins call.

GHosr IN CHICAGO. A case nvaiinS
!, mysteIy that which has recently been
ranoited from San Francisco In REGARD
10 the "stiglnata' has just been prough'
TO notice IN Chicago. The maniies'a
tions began last fall and continued III
winter. and then were heard no longer
until few days ago. The inmates u
the house Of Tobias Goldschmidt, NO.
Az South Park avenue. have long been
disturbed by persistent ringing az ,ne
door bell. A cessation Of the trouble
existed for a while, but on the eve OF last
Good FRIDAY, and or subsequent nights,
the family have been much disturbed.
II no one goes TO the door the mysteri-
ous visitor kicks and bangs away, but II
ANYBODY goes no one is to be seen. fo-
lice Sergeant Barrett las been called In
TO explain the mystery, but he has no
explanation to offer. Every point at
which fraud might show its horrid front
has been guarded by the police, but stiil
the ringing and general disturbance have
been kept up. No longer ago than last
Wednesday night the ringing was repeat,
ed and strange and most unnatural
sounds were heard, and nobody but Tue
inmate of the house could tell when they
would end. That person said he would
hear the last of them on May 1; but what
vacancy does he leave to be filled by
some person who shall believe in the
mysterious workings Of the infinite. The
Chicago reporters believe all that they
report, and in this strange story they
have had no notion of bringing up some
thing which may re-establish the repu'
tation OF their city after what has been
done in San Francisco.

The Law OF MARRIAGE IN MIssoURI.-A
case of some interest regarding what con-
stitutes marriage in its legal aspects was
decided on Friday by Judge Treat in st.
Louis. The case was that of Mrs. Carrie
Holabird against the Atlantic Mutual Life
Insurance Company, which was recently
decided in favor OF the plaintiff in the
United States Circuit Court. The defend
ant filed motion for a new trial. The
principal ground Of the motion was that
the Court erred in allowing the plaintiff to
testify to the fact of the marriage cere-
mony before an authorized clergyman
without the production at the same time
of the clergyman's certificate of the mar
riage, or certified copy thereof from the
records of the County Recorder. The
Judge decided the case by everything the
motion. His reasons for this were, SUBJ
stantially, that while clergyman may
neglect his duty in not keeping record
Of the marriage, or sending certified
copy Of the marriage certificate to the
County Recorder, his failure to do SO
| does not invalidate the legality Of the
marriage ceremony or render the mar
riage unlawful, null and void. The best
evidence OF the marriage is the direct
testimony of those who were present
when the contract was entered into, who,
as sworn witnesses in the case, testify to
| the fact itself.

ANOTHER WAY. Many theories have been
advanced, and some put into sctual prac-
tice, of how to dispose Of the law exempt
ing portions of fire companies from jury
duty; but the best way yet TO get out OF
the dilemma has been adopted by Judge
Beatty. He proposes to excuse one-half
of all active members of the fire depart
ment who may be drawn as jurors, and
retain the other half. Perhaps this is as
good solution to the bungling wording
OF the jury bill, as relating to firemen, as
can be advanced, and will save much

AN EXTENSIVE CAvE.-About 4 o'clock
last evening an extensive cave occurred
over the old Bajazet and Golden Era
(now Chollar Potosi) ground, near where
the stone store of Wood & Goe was swal-
lowed up by similar cave some years
ago. The cave is about forty or fifty
feet in diameter and is many feet in
depth. The edge OF the chasm is within
five or six feet OF o frame dwelling, and
as the earth is cracked in all directions
the chances are that the house will be
swallowed up. The family by whom it
has been occupied have vacated it and
removed all their goods. Two other
houses near by are also in dangerous
situation, and have been vacated. There
are bad cracks extending into both B and
c streets (the cave is at point where
these two streets approach very closely
together and should the caving contin-
ne the stability Of both streets will be
endangered. Some were of the opinion
last night that the houses mentioned and
portions Of the street would 60 down
before morning, as the ground appeared
to be constantly settling, and Jumps Of
earth were frequently to be heard drop
ping into the depths Of the chasm.
