None got Away.

It WAS thought worthy Of note when,
about two years ago. the wife Of Mr. T..
]. Suggs, formerly of Charlotte. but
now OF CASTOR county, gave birth to
three children, at one time; but last
week she went herself one bitter, Sing
birth to four. None got away and the
whole qasrtette are living and doing
we'll. Further than this, the triplets,
Mrs. Suggs' former achievement, are
ell living. and here we have the case Of
seven children from one mother, aud
none more than two years Of age. 1t is
the most remarkable case Of its kind we
ever heard of, and We doubt If it ha.
ever had its parallel in the United
States.-Charlotte ~ c. OJserrer.

that some OF the Barsanti Clubs had been
closed, and he wished to know II the same
course would be taken against the Re-

but he would ask the Ministers of these
associations, whether they are designed to
divide Italy once again into fragnants,
and to replace the dispossessed Princes on
their thrones, or 10 establish the Repub-

the Ministers disposed to proceed against

REPORT OF THE BATTLE
l2:30p. .M.-Gen. Roberts stelegraphs from
Piewar Khotal, under date OF the Sd, as
follows: "During the night OF December
lst, the Afghan position was turned by a
flank march over Spengwar Pass. We
surprised the enemy at daybreak OF the
second, when the I'D Highlanders and the
9TH Goorkhas gallantly drove the Afghans
from several positions. They afterwards
endeayored to reach Peiwar Khotal, but
the assault could not be delivered on that
side. We then threatened the enemy in
the rear, and attacked and carried Peiwar
Khotal about 4 o'clock in the afternoon.
The enemy had, on the previous evening,
received reintorcements OF four regiments.
They fought desperately. Their artillery
was well served. Their defeat, however,
was complete. We captured eighteen guns
and a large quantity OF ammunition. Our
loss was moderate considering the number
OF our opponents and the difficult nature
OF the country. Capt. Anderson, OF the
Pioneers, was killed. Gen. Cable and
Lieut.. Munroe, OF the I'D Highlanders,
we're wounded. Our men behaved ad-
mirably. We shall moves toward Shutar
