tB The work of demolishing the old
Presbyterian Church ediice at Mount Airy,
preparatory to commencing the erection of a
new one, was begun yesterday. The whole
neighborhood turned out, apparently, and
numbers were as busy as bees in removing
timbers, material, etc.
The church will hold it's meeting, for the
present in the woods of VIM. F. Holcombe,
near the " Barracks, seats having been put
up there for the purpose.
The new church is expected to cost about
$40, 900. 1t will be of frame, one story high,
about 40x60 feet, with lecture and Sunday
School chapel adjyining.
The Mount Airy Church is evidently put

Red Tame i'm ROyaI Marriages.

Great is the bother of getting mar
ried when you are a royal Highness.
Of course the marriage of the Sailor
Prince had to be entered in the regis
ter OF the Chapel Royal at Windsor,
and equally, of course, the country
would all go to pieces and the founda-
tions of the earth rock if that precious
register recording the wedding of all
the English Queens were to be taken
to foreign land. Accordingly Dean
Stanley was provided with single leaf
wherein to enter the marriage, which
will be bound up in the register when
it gets back from Russia. In order to
go properly through the ceremony, the
Dean was likewise Obliged to carry
with him the blue velvet-covered
prayer book used at the coronation of
William ~, and another pray er-book
which has been used at all the royal
English marriages since that Of George
ILL.,, except that of Victoria.

Curing a Cold.

A recent medical writer says: Sleep
whenever you can-anywhere you can
get chance the want of the age is
Sleep" This is not always safe to fol-
low, as one of cur townsmen (says CO.
temporary knows to his sorrow. He
was recently afflicted with bad cold,
and to cure himself of it resorted to the
remedy of putting his feet in hot water
and drinking a tumblerful of strong
whisky toddy, prescribed by an aged
and respected friend of the family.
Having got everything in order for
carrying out the prescription, he sat
down by the fire, his feet immersed in
warm water, and tumbler of smoking
teddy by his side. In this condition
sense Of enjoyment stole over him as
he slipped the celebrating liquid, and
fell asleep. His wife had gone to bed,
and, on awakening about three o'clock
IN the morning, wondered why she was
alone. Going down stairs she was hor-
riied to find her liege lord asleep in
his chair, the fire out, his feet still
immersed in the water, over which
cake of ice was forming, and an empty
tumbler on the chair beside him. His
cold isn't a bit better

ON A BROKEN EGGSHELL.
Land Locked NAVIGATION

There is steam communication be-
tween New York City and Southern
North Carolina all the way without
going to sea, and over sixty regular
steamers do the business of the route.
The route is along the Raritan River to
New Brunswick and the Delaware and
Raritan Canal to the Delaware River,
thence through to the bay, and on
through the Delaware and Chesapeake
Canal to the Chesapeake Bay, thence to
Norfolk, and on through the Abe
marie and Chesapeake Canal into Cur
rituck and Albemarle Sounds, and
sway along again through Pamlico
Sound and the Neuse River to New
bern. Vessels that will not live in the
ocean passage can go inland all the way
from New York to Newbern when the
canals are not frozen. Mr.. Marshall
Parks, President of the Albemarle &
chesapeake Canal Company, says it is
practicable to go all the way to Florida
that way with little more expense.

A recent writer on the warming and
ventilation of houses recommends
what he calls " double-grooved win
dows," it being much less expensive
and equally efficacious. The sash for
this purpose is made to receive two
panes of glass to each opening instead
Of one, thus leaving space Of air be-
tween, which serves as barrier to the
cooling effects of the external atmo-
sphere. This method operates also as
e protector in summer against the
troublesome heat of the direct rays of
the sun. For such double-grooved
window glazing good hard glass (poor
IN potash) must be selected, so that,
especially in southern aspects. the rays
of the sun may not decompose and
render dull the facing sides of the
panes, which, of course, cannot be
cleaned. For this latter reason care
must be taken in inserting the panes
that the facing sides are clear and
bright, and that only dry air is enclosed
between them. "Ice flowers" the
writer adds, "never appear in such

Deafness Caused by Catarrh.

deafness. 3
Mr.. LEVI SPRINGER, Of Nette Lake, Up. o.,
Williams county, o., formerly OF Durham s
Corners, O., has been cured of deafness of
fourteen years standing, by using DR.. Sage's
Catarrh Remedy. He was so deaf he could
not hear a person talk when seated by his
side, and can now hear the church bells ring
two miles distant-so he writes.
AMARKED CASE OF DEAFNESS CURED.
DICKERsoNvILLE, Mag. Co., N. Y, Feb. %,
loI.-About one year ago I caught a severe
cold in the head which terminated in a severe
torn Of Catarrh. During the time alterations
occurred in the nasal passages, and became
wholly deaf in one ear, with partial deafness
IN the other. The inflammation had involved
all the delicate structures of the ears, and L
was In immediate danger Of permanent deaf
ness. The discharge became profuse and fe
tia, both into my throat and from my ears. In
this condition l called on DR.. Pierce for aid,
who prescribed his Golden Medical Discovery
and Catarrh Remedy, and under their use
have rapidly recovered. My hearing is re-
stored, and my Catarrh is entirely well.

A private dispatch received in Balti-
more, on Thursday last, announced
the death, on the previous day, of Elk
Senator Lewis t. Wigfall, at Calves
ton, Texas, whittier he had recently
gone for the benefit of his health, He
represented Texas in Congress from
1859 until that State seeded, when he
resigned his seat in the United States
Senate and accepted a command in the
Southern army. While in the Senate
he advocated the right of the states to
secede, and took very prominent part
in the secession movement He was
formally expelled from the Senate in
July, 1861, and soon after he
identified himself with the new
confederation, and held the rank
of General in the Southern Army. He
was present at the bombardment and
received the surrender of Fort. Sumter.
He subsequently commanded g brigade
of troops from Texas, and took part in
a number of engagements. On being
elected Senator to the first Confeder-
ate Congress he retired from active
service in the field and devoted himself
to parliamentary work. He was re-
elected to the Second Congress, in
which he served until the fall of Rich
mond. He succeeded in escaping to
England, where he remained until it
was safe to return to this country. He
settled IN Baltimore about eighteen
months ago, and was recently admitted
to the bar. He was native of South

SYDENHAM recommends the applica-
ton of alcohol to burns, especially for
children, where Immediate relief is
most desirable. The alcohol should
be applied for one or two hours con-

In case of large burns care must be
taken lest the alcoholic vapors stupefy

The Russian government has de-
cided upon twenty-seven stations to be
occupied by observers of tile transit of

but no observations have ever been
taken on which a prophesy may be
founded.

that the oxy-hydrogen flame produced
