a little boy having heard a beautiful
story about little boy and a haichet, and
how, because the little boy wouldn't tell
4 lie, he, in time, got to be President OF
The United States, WAS very much i'm
pressed Ly it. Now, it so happened that
on the last day of March, he was just ten
years old. and his father asked him what
he would like to have for birthday
present. Very naturally tie boys
answer was, "a li,i.c halcAcl, il yoa

The father bought him . little hatchet
that very day. and The boy was SO delight
ed that he actually took It 20 bed with
him.
Esriy the next morning he 60. up.
dressed himself. took his little Ratchet
and wert out into the garden. There. a5

were certainly left in North Carolina in
1897. That is n fact which nobody would
deny; but they were never heard OF alter
wards, and, although it is reasonable TO
suppose they were killed by Indians. still
nobody knoWS such TO be the fact. We
only know they were there and disappear
cd, and that is what we know. and all
we know. about The early Irish voyagcrs.
As yet il is impossible TO tell, with any
degree of certainty, what became OF them;
il must remain a matter OF speculation.
But there is an equally difficult question
involved in the discussion, which these
doubters entirely overlook, and which is
now respectfully submitted 10 them, viz. {;
Where did the children with fair COM
plcxion. blue eyes, and auburn hair, found
about Roanoke Island, in the year 1851,
come from? The fact that they were
there cannot be denied. Ii is well ests6-
lished as any other fact os history. OF
course they were not full-bloodcd abor.
ipines. but must have descended from 4
Caucasian on one side; but there is no
other record of visit by Europeans TO
that part OF the coast before 1884. except
that concerning tho Scandinayians from
the Orkney Islands. Iceland, who did not
attempt 4 settlement; and these Scan.
dinarians themselves testify 10 4 still
earlier Irish emigration.
He continued with many other eyiden-
ces, and quoted Baron llumboldtS pro-
test against "thc rejecting spirit" in
regard to such things. He then discussed
the remains of various sorts not OF Indian
origin which have been found in this
country. particularly the iron implements; {;
but before going mo hat he called aIten'
o. to the discovery oil the Ph puician
stone in Brazil last year. giving an ac-
cunt of an expedition to that contry five
hundred years before the Christian era.
Among the strange things discovered
on the Carolina coast he mentioned that
Of a large skeleton of man which was
found near Wilmington many years ago.
around the waist of which was copper
girde bearing an unknown inscription.
Il was Just such n one rs meets the de-
.criplion OF scandinavian warrior. The
evidences OF mining in al carly age,
which have been found in Western North
Carolina. were also discussed. The
lecturer closed with recapitulalion Of
all the points in the testimony, which.
when grouped together, appeared very
formidable.
The foregoing is very brici synopsis
Of the facts contained in this novel and
interesting discourse, which was listened
to at,cniiycly by large and highly cul'
tivatcd audience.

Last Spring, some of the leading men
in town interested in the breeding OF
horses, organized stock company for the
purpose of making Trotting Park. They
carried their plan into execution and The
Park was completed last July 4th. They
have very fine track, well fenced, AMI
they talk ol having the York County Fair
here the coming fall.
Within two years some OF the citizens
formed themselves into an association,
for the purpose of making a public Gem
ctcry. They purchased u piece of land
OF about four acres, have fenced it. and
there are already some very fine lots, and
it is expected that when completed il will
be as good as any in the County.

The nearue.s and accessibility Of The

A REsURRECTED HoG.-On Tuesday
afternoon, 9th inst, Mr.. John Powers, of
Middietown, was unfortunate enough to
have his family hog taken sick with the
blind staggers. The animal became
rapidly worse and after little time it
was determined to cut the animals head
open and insert salt, as is sometimes
done in like cases as heroic remedy.
This did not apparently do any good,
and the hog died. Mr.. Powers hitched
his horse to the defunct, and drew him
to back lot, there to be converted into
manure by the action of nature. Next
morning, while Mr.. Powers was on his
way to the cheese factory, he was accost-
&c by neighbor with warning to take
his hog out Of the neighbor's garden.
To this Mr.. Powers could only reply
that he had no hog; that the animal
was dead. The neighbor denied this,
and on proceeding to the garden the hog
was. found quite vigorously roofing
among the beds, to the intense disgust
of the owner and the delight of Mr..
Powers. How the hog came to life is a
mystery for PROF.. Tyndall.-Ruttand
Herald.

Governors Message,

Gentlemen of the Senate and House Of
Representatives.
1t is matter of congratulation that
the period which has called US together
to discharge the public trusts reposed in
us under the Constitution, is marked by
the general health and prosperity of the
people that the earth has yielded its
abundance, and industry is generally
reaping its accustomed reasonable re-
ward. These, and the numerous bless
ings which we individually, and as a
people, enjoy, should excite in US feelings
of thankfulness and gratitude to the
Giver of ali good.
Your powers and duties are 20 COM
prehensive and varied, that it would be
neither practicable nor useful to attempt,
in the accustomed executive communica-
ton, to embrace all the subjects that
may properly engage your attention,
and require your action.
1t is gratifying to find the finances OF
the State in the healthy and satisfactory
condition indicated by the Treasurers
report, to which you are referred for a
more full and detailed statement than is
necessary to be here repeated. 1t ap'
pears from the account of the Treasurer
commencing Aug. l, 1872, that at that
date he credits the State by balance il
