MORE HoLoCAUSTS. - Recently we
gave a list Of nine persons who had
been burned to death within the month
IN North Carolina. Three other cases
have since been added. And now We
continue the list:
No. 18th. The colored child in this
city Sunday morning.
No. 14th. \ little negro girl living
at Mr. Ellison Moore's, in Anson coun-
", on Tuesday night, ignited her dress
at the fire place, and vas burned to
death.
No. 18th. Geo. Poppy, young man,
formerly from Wilmington, who keeps
a grogsery about five miles from Mon
roe, awoke on Sunday night 10 find
the house burning at several places.
He got out with much difficulty. but
could not extinSHish his burning night
clothes until roasted so that he can
scarcely recover. The E.rpress thinks
the design Of the incendiaries was 70
burn him alive.

ent that it costs a mint of money to
extend the heavy pattern of the bor'
der over the whole garment, un-
graceful heayiness is preferred to
graceful Iightness. The article which

ums. NJ. Lucien Double. possesses
one which was given by Napoleon

afterwards stolen from her shoul-
ders at review in the Place du
Carrowsel, but recovered by the
police of Fouche. A mammoth
shawl, large enough, one would say,
to wrap up a carriage full Sultanas,

Given the subject worked out upon
it, an inhabitant of British India

in which not street. bazaar. house,
garden, monument or suberban
grove is omitted. The river with
its old picturesque bridges winds
the city. A birds-eye- view
of one of the manufacturing towns
of New England. done on a patent

10 the Editor of the Morristown Gazette.
On Thursday. 18th inst, | went 10
Turley's Mills and back. Called
upon ID. S. Noe. ESQ. Found him
up to the times in improvements, as
a farmer. He is raising some fine
Berkshire hogs. ..
Next called upon the venerable j..
L. Noe, at Noes Mill. Stated that
last winter he was very low, and
hardly expected he would be alive
now, but he got better and great
hopes were entertained that he
would entirely recover. 1 found him
suffering with pain in his breast,
and it was difficult for him to get
breath, these hot, sultry days.
Then called upon R. j. Daniels.
He had been reading the article in
last weeks GAZETTE on Turkey
Creek. Observed that the creek run
ming through his farm was not as
large as it was many years ago.
Leaving Mr.. Daniels. went over
the HoIston riverin a canoe, and the
lad who ferried me over had with
him bag. and l sooE saw from the
scratching and mewing that it con-
tanned cats. 1 knew. at once, what
was up, but asked him what be was
going TO do with them. He said he
was taking them across the river to
let them loose. as .hey had more
cats at their house than they needed.
/ asked him why he did not drown
them. so. you know. our folks
don't like the idea of killing them,
SO l am going to set them free on

young man said he would fasten the
boat, and. as he was not intending to

Went up to the Mills, and at Reid.
Goodson & Co.'S store found nearly

was too hot to trade but not to talk
