THE JUG OF WHISKY.
Within these earthen walls confined
The ruin turks of human kind;
More mischiefs here united dwell,
And more diseases haunt this cell,
Than ever plagued the Egyptian flocks,
Than ever cursed Pandora's box.
Within these earthen walls repese
The seed of many bloody nose;
The chattering tongue, the horrid oath
The fist for fighting, nothing 10th
The nese with diamonds glowing red
The bloated face, the broken head.
Forever fastened by this door;
Confined within, thousand more
Destructive fends, of hateful shape,
Even now are planning an escape.
Here only by cork controlled,
And slender walls of earthen mould,
In all their pemp of death, reside
Revenge that ne'er was satisfied;
The tree that bears the deadly fruit
OF manning, murder and dispute.
Assault, that innocence assails;
The images of gloomy jails,-
All these, within the jug appear,
And Jack, the hangman, in the rear.
Thrice, happy he, who, early taught
By nature, ne'er this poison sought!
He, with the purling stream content,
The beverage quaffs that nature meant;
In reasons scale his actions weighed,
His spirits want no foreign aid;
Long life is his in vigor passed,
Existence welcome to the last
spring that never yet grew stale,-
Such virtues lie in ADAMS Ale.

HONEY BEES.

Every man who keeps bees should have the
honey boxes on bofore apple trees blossom
Put them on all your hives, to be ready when
the bees are numerous enough to enter them.
Small pieces of guide combs in the tops aid
greatly in causing the bees to commence comb
building in the boxes. Some families of bees
will be too weak to work in the boxes but it
is always best to give them set in case they
may need them. Get your hives for swarms
ready, SO that when swarming time comes you
will no be caught unprepared. Honey will be
cheap next fall, from present indications but
twenty cents per lb: for good comb honey is a
paying price, and think it will not go lower
than that.

CHARCOAL FOR SICK ANIMALS.

Charcoal has good medicinal qualities, and
may be given to any sick animal, and often ef-
fects relief and in many cases cure. In a
case where COW became sick from over eat
ing a spoonful of pulverized charcoal was
mixed with water put into a bottle, the cows
head held up, the charcoal turned down her
threat, and in few minutes relief was vis-
BILE; and in four hours she was able to go to the
pasture. In case of becoming badly bloat-
ed by eating green apples, a.half teacupful
of powdered charcoal cured her entirely in a
few hours.

CARE OF HORSES.

taken from a London, (Eng.,) publication. 1t
is we'll occasionally to read the opinions of
English farmers on the subject: "When a
horse is worked hard its food should be chiefly
oats if not worked hard its food should chief
ly be hay, because oats supply more nourish-
ment and fesh-making material than any other
kind of food hay not SO much. Rack feeding
is wasteful. The better plan is to feed with
chopped hay, from manger, because the food
is not thrown out, and is more easily chewed
and digested. Sprinkle the hay with water
that has salt dissolved in it, because it is pleas
ing to the animals taste and the hay is more
easily digested. A teaspoonful of salt to a
bucket of water is sufficient"

CLOSE BREEDING.

In breeding stock, moderate in-andin breed
ing does not injure their good qualities, as the
experience of hundreds of cattle raisers can
prove. A western stock grower says at is
now quite certain that the only way to main
tain choice breed of stock is to keep up the
intercourse between them, regardless of rela-
tionship, SO long as there are any good quail.
ties worthy OF preservation. Any system of
breeding which is based on any other princi-
pie is founded error and is sure to fail, as so
many of our previous attempts at improving
western herds have failed"

That there is money in hops, no man can
doubt who has watched the increasing wealth
of the hop growers of Central New York for
the last 20 years. Sometimes the price is low,
but the average price pays well. 1t is for the
interest of growers to cry the business down ;
and therefore we often see articles published
claiming that hop growing is net profitable,
merely to prevent others going into the bust
ness. Hops can be grown at cost of eight
cents per pound and the price for twenty
years has run from IL to so cents. Probably
the average was % cents.

At shearing time lambs often become infest-
ed with ticks. Dipping the lambs in solu-
ton of tobacco water will kill the ticks. Take
the coarse stems of the tobacco plant for cheap
ness, steep in water and immerse the lambs,
excepting their heads, wetting their wool to
the skin. This will speedily kill the ticks
By having the lambs stand an inclined
platform connecting with the tub the tobacco
juice can be squeezed from the wool and used
for large flock.

A dozen fowls would do very well in yard
so feet square, with little grass plot in one
corner, as fowls must have grass. This space
is as small as can be used for that number
and if one cannot give as much space he had
better buy his eggs and chickens, as fowls can
not be kept profitably without certain area OF
yard room. A few fowls may be put into a
much smaller yard, and will lay we'll for few
weeks; but after while, with the grass all
destroyed, the hens will begin to lay eggs, and
will be Improbable. Of course, large range
is always best, but in a village one cannot do
as he could on a farm. Don't forget to supply
your fowls with gravel, old mortar, or ground
or pounded oyster shells, as aids in the forma

Editor of the Raleigh NeaOs:
DEAR SIR: find by examination of
the records and from either sources
that at January term 1872 of commits
sioners court of this county. that Mrs.
Nancy King (white) and three chill
dren were let out ut auction TO the
highest bidder, and were bid off by a.
negro who can neither read or write,
at the price of $5 80 per month. At
same time Mrs. Lucy lIochey (white),
aged and blind, was bid off by another
ignorant negro who can neither lead
or write. At the April term 1875

having wife and several children,
YVES bid off by one of the negro COM
missioners at. S. per month. At same
time a white nun named Alfred Davis

Platform of the Democratic Party I'm
North Carolina. adopted by the De-
m0cratic State Convention at Ra.
leigh. on 14th June. 1876.

WHE aEAs, The republican party of
| the United States, for the last sixteen
years, has had the complete control of
| the government in all it's departments.
| and by it's disregard of COnstitutal
| limitations; by its unequal and oppressive
| taxation; by its extravagant and wasteful
expenditures; by its unWise and mischie-
vous financial policy; by its official corrup-
tion pervading all branches of adWinistra-
| tion-has brought disgi a upon ou gov
| ernment and unparalleled distress upon
| our people: therefore
| Reso[sed, 1. That in this centennial year
| of our existence, we invite all patriots to
| ignore all dead issues, to disregard the pre-
| judiccs eDgendered by past events, and to
| unite with us in the effort to restore a con-
| stitutional, honest, economical and pure
administration of the government, and thus
promote the general welfare and happiness
| of the country.
Resotued, 2. That we earnestly and cor
( daily recommend the adoption, by the
people, Of the amendments to the Consti-
| tuition proposed by the Convention of 1875,
| and thus largely reduce the expenditures of
our State and county governments and
| simplify their administration, SO that we
may be enabled to establish thorough
| and enlarged system Of public schools for
the benefit of all the citizens of the State.
Res0lued 3. That notwithstanding our
repeated disappointments and impovsrish-
ed condition, we still cherish the North
Carolina project so long labored for by
Morehead, Saunders, Fisher, VIM. H.
Thomas and others, of uniting the harbOrs
of Beaufort and Wilmington with the great
west; and for the completion Of the Wes-
tern North Carolina Railroad to Point Rock
and Ducktown, and of our other unfinish-
railroads, we pledge the continued use
of the convict labor of the State, md of
such other tudicious legislative aid as will
secure the completion of these great State
works at the earliest practicable period.
Resotced A. That the people of North
Carolina now have it in their power by an
earnest, Disseminated and united effort, to
relieve our people from the evils of repub-
lican misr.le, extravaganza and corruption.
and restors the prosperity of our State.
RESOLVED 5. That we denounce official
corruption wherever found, and we hold
honesty to DE the first and highest qualifi
cation for Office.

Everybod has heard of Billy
Smiths blood-hounds, those with
which ne used to hunt deserters; but
few know of their history. We have
at last found the man from whom they
were purchased. His name is Berke-
lev Gone. A gentleman, from whom
we obtained this information, saw linn
at Ferrelps on Wednesday, and had q
long talk with him. He says that Billy
Smith, during the war, wanted to buy
his blood hounds. Ilerefused to sell.
Smith then told him that if he did not
let him have the dogs he would have
him conscripted d into the Confederate
army. Berkeley Gone thereupon came
to Raleigh to see Gov. Vance, who after
hearing the complaint, assured him
that bis exemption, if according to
law, should be respected. ..-.-.
Billy Smith then sent for, him to
come to Johnston county to q militia
muster. He went. Smith made q
speech to the crowd, and told them
that with Cones dogs he would only
need half the present number of men;
and that Gone would let them have
the dogs, and his horn, if they would
put up $4,000 to pay for such of the
dogs Ms might he killed, and he swore
that "if the damned desertefs" killed
one of those dogs, he would hang him
if he caught him. -,.---.Er ri s.
The money was made up at. once.
Gone says Billy Smith kept the dogs
a month; then no TO- got them back,
and paid Smith the 81, 900 which had
been raised at the muster ground. The
militia say this money was never re-
funded to them.-Ralefgh NesOs.

EDGEFIELD, S. c..
July 81, 1876.
To the Editor Of the Nea0 York Herald:
have just read Governor Cham ber-
lain's fancy sketch of the "Hamburg
Horror" addressed to Senator Robert
son at Washington. After few rheto-
rical hourishes, his Excellency says:
sSuch acts call for condemnation and
punishment" I entirely agree with
him, and if he does not take steps at
once to have them condemned and
punished, he should be hurled from
the position which his imbecility dis
graces.
have been the object and target of
Radical malignity, and assigned po-
sition in this affair similar to that of
Sitting Bull in the Custer massacre.
l have been slandered and traduced
by the Governors emissaries for doing
nothing more than my very plain and
simple duty, and [ now challenge
him to begin his legal investigation.
He knows my residence and he knows
that the presence of United States sol
diers is not necessary for my arrest or
that of any OF her white man who was at
Hamburg And before the investiga
tion closes, il do not show that the
negroes were the uggressOrs, and
the whites not to blame, that
the emissaries of his Exceilency
were the instigators of the riot.
and that his appointees could have
prevented and did not prevent it,
that the company called militia was

highwaymen, and that he is re-
sponsible for tiff [ do not show all
this, and show besides a condition of
affairs at Hamburg under a Radical
government pretending to be civilized,
which would almost disgrace the pur-
lieus of a Comasse settlement, [ will
undertake personally to answer for the
death of every man, white and black,
who fell in Shat riot.
No man knows better than Governor
Chamberlain that what he states IN
that communication to Senator Robert
son is false in every essential partlcil'
lar. No one knows better than hlm~
self that he has Published it in the
bloody shirt outrage interest. But no
matter whether he has or not, make
him very practical proposition, and
he shall not eUuOG 1T.
High sounding phrases such as he

another era of our history, when peo-
ple we're more prone to be Influenced
by slckly sentimentality; when Rad-
ical cant and Radical falsehood had
larger and more wiling and attentive
audiences. The American people are
becoming emine ntIy practical, almost
prosy in their pursuit of facts.

rial, ''The Governors campaign rhet-
oric is another thing. Let him hunt

WHEREAS. The All-wise Ruler of the
Universe i'll His wisdom hath seen fit to
remove from our midst our worthy
brother Vice Grand w. A. Memory;
ResOIUcd, That in the death of W.

one who endeavored to exemplify the

loss Is his eternal gain.

convention Was conservative, she
home stead law and mechanics lien law
would be destroyed. and that the whip
ping post would more than likely be
reinstated. and by many other repre-
sentatiOns and denials, he succeeded
in CARRYING the election III favor of the
republican party. IN the convention
a majority was conservative, and all
of the representations of the radi-
cal favorite and deceiver were
found to be groundless. and as our
people see in the work of the able Con
servative leaders accomplished i'll The
face of desperate Republican opposi-
tion who sought only to retard the
progress Of the majority. When the
people view all the facts as they stand
and see the perfect utility of the work
OF our Conservative convention, they
must rise to point of order and say
we'll done good and faithful servants;
your work is well done, go rest in
peace until the country again needs
your service. And now Richmond can
fairly promise her sister counties that
they shall have reason to be proud of
her, although some of our white clti-
zens are under the party lash and will
be found to go to the polls and vote
against the substantial interest of our
great commonwealth. There are many
who have formerly voted against, but
will now vote with US and help us to
roll up a healthy Conservative ma
jority.
We claim to have raised the first
Vance pole in the State. On the even
ing of his nomination the citizens of
Laurlnburg turned out and raised
pole and unfurled Vance banner
for the campaign and intend to show
our enemies and the enemies of con-
stitutional liberty how we appreciate
their efforts to degrade us and our
State. and we would say to our friends
throughout the State, lay all personal
prejndices aside, remember your duty
to your native Carolina, commence in
time and in earnest, and work rucees-
ingly while your proud commonwealth
Is in danger of political ruin. Look for
a moment at the bankrupt anu degrad-
ed condition of South Carolina. Re-
member the party that secured her
ruin and robbed her treasury, is now
by every possible means to
get your State by the throat and get
Its polluted hand into your treasury.
Is it not the duty of every citizen in
the State who is honest and patriotic
to work for and guard the welfare of
his commonwealth Then work both
publicly and privately for the success
Of the honest Democratic nominees,
and rejoice with us in a glorious sue
cess. Yours truly, FL.

During the squall on yesterday
afternoon the schooner Annie Frances,
belonging to MFR. Henry Kearns of the
Western Branch, was capsized near
Craney Island. She had on board at
the time seven colored men and boys,
all of whom were savad except col

of Wight county. Three of the party
were caught in the cabin when
she went over; but two of them
succeeded in diving out and were res
cued. The other remained below for
three hours up to his neck in water,
there being sufficient air in the cabin
when she capsized to sustain life. For
tunately, the tugs Ludlow and Snow
Drop,happened to pass along at the
time and succeeded in righting the
boat sufficiently to cut hole in her
bottom, through which the boy was
