Judge Gregory.

Judge VIM. F. Gregory, as will b.
seen from this impression of the EXAM
TNER, is candidate for Judge of the
Criminal Court of this district. Judge
Gregory is a gentleman than whom no
man stands higher in the community
where he is known, not only on &C.
count of his legal information, but from
various other considerations. He has
been for years prominent member of
the Hartford bar, and, of course, is
thoroughly acquainted with the intri-
cacies of the law. He is a Democrat
by birth, a gentleman by nature, and
would, if elected, wear the judicial err
mine with the ease and dignity of an
emperor. Greensboro Examiner.
He is an affable, clever gentleman,
staunch and Out>spOken Democrat,
and has an enviable reputation as
lawyer. He is excellently well quail
fled for the position to which he aspires,
and should the selection of the people
fall upon him, We have no doubt he
will perform the duties of the Office
not only creditably to himself but to
the satisfaction of the entire district.
Judge Gregory is native of the State,
and is a gentleman of high order of in
tellect and scholarly attainments. If
Davies county is not destined to furn-
ish the Criminal Judge, we:know OF no
person in the district whom We would
rather greet as the successful competit-
or for the position than Judge Gregg
Monitor.

A FEARFUL ACCIDENT.
The Boiler Of a Portable Steam
Saw Will ExplOdes, killing one
Man and Severely Wound
Ing two others.

On Tuesday of last week the boiler
of the portable steam saw mill belong
ing to Job S. Arnold, living in the up
per portion of this county, exploded,
severely injuring three men and slight
ly wOunding one or two others. The
three men severely damaged are John
IL. Arnold, son Of the owner of the
mill, Perry b. Wilkes, his son-in-law
and Sylvester Allen, who were so bad.
ly burned and scalded by the explosion
that Arnold has since died, and but
little hopes are entertained for the re-
cOvery of Wilkes and Allen.
The explosion is supposed to have
been caused by the water in the boiler
getting too low, which was done by
the pump failing to work, and as soon
as the pump began to work and the
cold water touched the hot boiler it ex-
ploded Immediately. 1t is said that
the boiler and wheel, which weigh
about 5000, were blown about one
hundred yards, cutting down trees as
large as a mans body.
This sad occurrence should be a
warning to other mill men, and should
teach them a lesson of carefulness.

Fine Wool.

Editor Herald In your issue Of
the 10th inst. saw an account of w.
ID. Coleman presenting you with q
sample of wool of his own raising, that
measured eleven inches in length and
also the average of wool per head viz !:
ten pounds and one ounce, and in con-
clusion asks if William Foster can
beat it. In answer to this / send YOU
a sample of wool of my raising that
measured fully twelve inches in length
and of fine texture. l did not see this
account till my sheep were shorn, and
the wool washed. My Sheep are of the
COtswOld breed, and only fourteen in
number, one buck, one wether, and
twelve ewes, with twenty lambs, nine
of which raised eighteen of them. /
purchased a buck in Boyle county
Kentucky last fall, that is thorough
bred, and would like to purchase some
of the late importations that l see adj
vertised in that valuable paper the
Farmers Home Journal" but the dogs
have made such great havoc among
the sheep in this vicinity that 1 think
it unsafe to purchase at present.
/ will say in conclusion that l have
taken more premiums on sheep at the
Hartford, Ohio county Fair in the last
i've years than all other competitors.

Poetry aud Prose offspring.

the glories of spring time has ever
been a fasorIte theme Of the poets They
glow with rapture when describing how
"SPring unlocks the flowers to paint
the laughing SOIL but forget that
Death rides on every passing breeze, and
turks in every flower" Yes, the vernal
season however bright and beautiful it
may seen is fraught with perils to the
human race. 10 our climate it is the
most dangerous to health of any portion
of the year. The sudden changes of the
weather produce Colds, Coughs, Catarrh,
Bronchitis, Rheumatism and Neuralgia,
while the poisonous exhalations arising
from the earth, induce deadly fevers. AT
this perilous season the greatest care
should be exercised, and the SEVEN SEALS
OR GOLDEN WONDER, that speedy, certain
and effectual cure for all ailments brought
on by variable weather, or by inhaling
vapors. should be kept where
it can be brought quickly into requisition.
