A New Land of Promise.

Mr.. James Anthony Froude, the English
author, who, it will he remembered, once
undertook in his lectures in this country to
Justify English policy towards Ireland for the
past seven hundred years, has lately returned
to London from a visit to the British province
III South Africa and delivered lecture upon
it, the oil lect of which seems to be to turn the
current of British emigration from Australia
and America to that remote land He repre-
senlS that region as abounding with natural
wealth. He finds ''the climate and natural
riches unmatched There are great fields of
coal and metals, and the grazing and arabic
area is prodigious. The colony of Natal alone
can support population of 90, 900, 600 people,
and, to use his own expression, ''is destined
ultimately to lie the home of great nation. !"
lie thinks that it offers inducements superior
to Australia for emigrants, and, indeed, his
views appear to have impressed the English
journals favorably, for one of them calls upon
Mr.. Joseph Arch to look to South Africa in
stead of Canada and the United States for Il re-
fuge for his protegcs among the superfuous
millions.
At the same time Mr.. Froude admits one
serious drawback. This is the preponderance
OF the negro population, which outnumbers the
whites twenty to one. He describes them AS
lazy and preterring sleeping smoking and
stealing TO useful occupations. When they
have accumulated IA sufficient sum to purchase
two wives, upon whose labor they can live,- the
height Of their ambition is said to be attained.
The Natal negroes are also represented as blood
thirsty. treacherons and warlike. Hence, al
though the London press approves Mr.. Froude' )
report, it is not likely that British emigration
will ever he attracted in any considerable de-
gree to Il region where the drones SO prcdOm-
nate as to keep the working bees in peril of
their Gves.-Bdh. Sun.

met by Lord Percy with reintorcements of
I. 200 men and two guns which alone saved
them from annihilation. Lord Percy by
the use of his two field pieces kept the
militiamen at bay, whilst his detachment,
formed into hollow square, received the
fugitives, who stretched themselves upon
the ground, their tongues hanging out
their mouths like dogs after chase"
But his halt WAS not long, for the minute
men were increasing in numbers. and he
found it safe to countermarch speedily
The Americans never slack kened their pur-
suit but followed the retreating columns
until they were safely under the guns of
the fleet and across Charlestown river.
The American loss is reported at - killed,
"a wounded, whilst the British loss is cs-
timated at 213.
Thus was fought and won the battle of
Concord which fired the hearts OF the peo-
pie from the North to the South and
brought about that happy severance of the
political ties which bound the Colonies to
the mother country.
Let us hope that the nation which was
thus born in the midst Of the carnage and
smoke of battle will ever be actuated by
the
spirit that made those heroes dare
To die and leave their children free.

To Our Patrons.

The demand on the advertising columns OF
the TIMES is often ~ great that we are compell-
cd to curtail the reading matter which other
wise would he able to give our readers. This
we regret, for il has been always our ambition
to make the TINES a tirst-class country journal.
Last year endcavored To remedy this by is
suing weekly supplements, but this did not
please us. and moreover did not fully accomplish
our object We have, therefore, for sometime
back, considered the matter. and determined to
enlarge and otherwise improve our paper, so that
all advertisements may be accommodated with
out depIiving our readers of such miscellaneous
reading matter and general news as would
like to give them more ut length than We are
able to do now. In order to do this, we shall be
obliged To buy another press and make other
OutlayS at very considerable expense. All this
we are willing and eager to do for the benefit of
our patrons, but cannot do it without money
We ask such OF our SUBSCRIBERS aS are IN arrear
To come forward and settle theiraccountS. These
are all small in amount to each man, but in the
aggregate are great to US: They can be easily
paid by each man with II little effort and deter
mination, and We think, in all kindness that we
are entitled to ask this from those whom we
have indulged-some for n very long time
Times have been very hard, we know, for years
past, and we have never been pressing for the
bills due u.s. but have waited patiently the con-
venience of all We think we now entitled
to be rewarded for our forbearance. Wewant to
make our paper in every respect worthy of the
patronage of all the people and to show our great
appreciation of the kindness of those who have
so long sustained ii. For this purpose we are
willing to give our time and means freely and
laviShly. All we ask now is that those who owe
us will give TO us that means which is justly
ours.
Farmers are now beginning to ship their to-
bacco and surely each man can spare the few
dollars due us, if he will only think So He
would scarcely miss them, whilst we tiatter our
selves that he would greatly miss the weekly
visit of the TINES.
We ask one and all to make the effort and
we will soon show them that it is fully apprecia-
ted.
We hope our friends will respond at once, as
we cannot make the contemplated improve
ments until they furnish us with the means. AS
soon as they do this the necessary arrangem. nj :
will be consummatcd.

Gss- retired liquor dealer of Vermont

tells how he converted himself into n travelling
rum shop few years ago by wearing tin

and having ii rubber tube attachment through
which he could draw glass of whiskey at plea

useful at agricultural fairs, and subsequently ht
says be frequently sat at his own door and sold
liquor to the pasSer-by while officers were
searching his premises for whiskey. Vessels
similar to the one described have been in use
by the smugglers on the Canadian border for
years. A few years since ''smuggleress' was
arrested and on her were found, next to the
person, number of tin vessels containing in
all about five gallons of spiritus frementi.

A Suicide in baltimore,

distressing suicide took place in Druid
Hill Park on Saturday last the victim being
George A. Ahrens junior member of the ex-
tensive mercantile house of Messrs. Stirling,
Ahrens Il Co., of Baltimore. About II 30 a.
m, George Fossel, one of the workmen in the
park, in going from the Mansion House toward
Ahe W oedbury road, discovered the figure of a
man in sitting position, with his back against
a catawba tree. FosSel, on first seeing him.
thought he was intoxicated or asleep, as his
hat was living by his side md his head was bent
over on his chest. On nearer approach. how
ever, Fossel noticed that the man was dead
having been shot through the right temple. 1t
was evident that he had been dead but short
time, the body was quite warm, and blood
was oOZing freely from the wound, trickling
down the face of the deceased over his shirt
bosom. In his lap was Il four-barreled Sharp's
revolver, with the right hand of the deceased
resting on but not grasping it, His left hand
WAS in his overcoat pocket. On searching the
body, Capt Cassel, superintendent of park
police, found book of deposit with the bank
ing house of Alexander Brown & Sons, with
the name &c. A. Ahrens' on the cover. This
was the first clue to the identity of the suicide.
The deceased was about thirty-two years of
age, and leaves a wife and two children. He
had recently inheriteda large amount of money
by the death of his father. His relatives say
they can assign no reason that would account
for his tting the terrible deed by which
he sacrificed his own life. He left home Satur-
day morning in his usual health and spirits.
The above facts were gathered from the 4
merican, and the following from the Gazette:
1t is proper to add that no more perfectly
unexceptionable young gentleman than Mr..
Ahrens could be found in our community. He
was a man of intelligence, refinement and edu-
cation, of the most thorough business training
and the best personal and business habits. He
was amiable and exemplary in all the relations
Of life, seeking aud finding his enjoyments, al
