'nser und Mcchanic

Editor Tdfner aud Mcchanic:
In addition to the many mineral de-
posts of Chatham and Moore, there
has been recently discovered, about
two miles south of Deep River, in
of superior quality.
In grading the Raleigh & Augusta
\. l.. r. +. south of Sanford, in Moore,
an extensive deposit or vein of kaolin,
or porcelain clay, has been exposed,
and all the lands in the vicinity are
heavily timbered with the original
growth of long leaf pine. Crockery-
ware, stove-linings, friedrich, pipes,
&c, could be manufactured there very
cheaply.
Chatham and Moore cannot be ex-
celled by any two counties in this or
n other State FOR cheap lands, abun
ing in timber and minerals of nearly
every kind found in the United States,
and water power sufficient to drive all
the machinery in New England.
The gold and copper mines of Moore
county are attracting the attention of
capitalists and experienced miners.
Several parties from Ohio and else
where have made purchases in the
vicinity of the Eagle Gold Mine, and
are erecting machinery for extensive
operations. Those now at work, / learn,
are highly pleased with the country
and the prospect before them. | hope
your efforts to attract capital and
skilled labor this way will never cease
until our old State Fan claim a popula-
ton of five millions, and the /" hum
of manufacturing establishments can
be heard from the seashore to the Ten
nessee line.
We need more men and capital to
engage in cotton and wool-spinning
establishments for manufacturing ag-
ricultural implements, wood and viii
low ware, iron furnaces. ~foundries,
rolling mills, &c. &c.
In fact. no portion of North America
could live so Independent of all other
sections as North Carolina, if her citi-
zen would only leave off grumbling
at what cannot be mended, to 90 to
work with what means they have left,
and vote only for men for the Legisla-
ture who think sheep worth more to
the State than worthless ours, and who
will give wholesome laws that requires
every man to perform his honest con-
tracts to the letter. If this does not
bring foreign ~emigrants, it will pro
badly aus the return of many of our
best citizens who have gone South and
West. j. W. S.

an elevation Of l. miles. over . point
very near the fork Of the Roanoke at
GAINESVILLE, a little east and north.
almost ON a line connecting Richmond
and Charlotte. From the observations
of Prof. Winston. the diameter of the
body, with it, flaming envelop, was
between 800 aud 400 feet. The detona-
ton was tremendous, a. heard al Vel
don. about 30 miles. and al Haw River,
about 20 miles. At the latter point II
was heard above the elatter OF ma
chinery, and shook the Of
houses. This meteor was n OF o
remarkable brilliancy, showing is
naming track within a few degrees of
the sun. Another very notable matter
about il was hat its track. as seen
from several different directions, was
sharply zigzag, with traverse narrow
ing downwards which il is difficult
to understand. without supposing the
path Of descent to have been a spiral,
with a wider sweep of curve above,
and narrowing towards a straight line
as it approached the earth and It's
flight became more rapid. But the
most i~nconceivable thing about tins
whole apparition is its velocity. which,
according to Professor Winston's note
of the time of visibility, was not less
than 300 miles a second, which is just
ten times the usual speed Of these
bodies. And, lastly, as this meteor
evidently fell. its fragments ought 10
be found. and somewhere about Boyd
ton. Mechlenburg county.

The Agricultural Value of Worms

In - ascertain the precise
part taken by the earth worms IN ma
king vegetable mold. two worms Were
placed II a glass vessel titled with sand
on the surface Of which was spread 4
layer OF fallen leaves. The worms set
To work AZ once. and after about SIX
weeks the surface ofthe mold was near
" half an inch deep. while many leaves
had been carried 10 a depth Of three
inches. Worm tubes ran IN all direct
ions through the sand some were
quite fresh, others had n wall Of mold
an eighth or an inch thick. others again
were completely filled with the mold.
In short the soil Of the vessel Was NJ
ready perfectly We'll prepared for the
growth of plants.
Herr Won Henscns finds that. al
though the earth worm weighs only
about 46 grains, il produces IN -four
hours nearly eight grains Of eNcremen-
tltlous matter. On an average he finds
about "a, 900 worms 10 an acre OF
ground. Their combined weight Is
therefore over 200 pounds and they pro-
duce about 81 pounds Of mold in u
hours. Besides this, they produce a
uniform distribution Of the mold. open
up passages in the subsoil for roots. and
rendcs the subsOll fertile.

The Big Meteor Of Nov. 20, 1877.

These planetary or cosmical tramps
familiar. General Clingman gave Is
some rather startling results of obser-
vations which he collected of the great
meteor which went flaming down the
length of the continent, from the great
lakes to the Gulf. during the war. If
l remember rightly, he made it a mile
in diameter, and $50 miles high. For
tunately for us this formidable affair
went on its shining way. In 1874 we
had two decorating meteors. One of
these passed March t, = a. H., in a
n. w. to S. Z. direction, between En-
field and Goldsboro, making a long.
brilliant track, i'll the full sunshine.
1t was observed by many persons
about CASTOR, Weldon. Enfield and
Goldsboro, and at the latter point a
loud explosion was heard. These
points were given me by Mr.. I. A.
Clarke, of Weldon.
h second meteor of 1874, appeared
May Il, at u p. M. 1t exploded with
a very loud report, which was COM
pared by those who heard it to a rapid
cannonade. A number of fragments
fell in the neighborhood of Castalia.
Nash county two of them. of one to
two pounds weight each, were pro-
cured for the Museum by Mr.. j. j.
Davis, and an analysis is given in the
Geological Report of 1875. They are
granite, and filled with shining parti-
cles of nickel, cobalt ard iron. Two
others were found, of six to twelve
pounds. The shower of stones eX-
tended along 4 tract of 90 miles by 3,
from .. w. to NE. The elevation, at
II time of the explosion. was COM
pnted by Mr.. VIM. j. King, from seve-
raj observations which he collected,
at eight to ten miles. The meteor of
November Goth, 1877, from observa-
tons made at Charlotte, Chapel Hill,
Weldon and Richmond, first came into
view at a point about 80 miles NV. of
Danvllle, in the lower part of Franklin
county, at IN elevation of 100 miles,
and descended in a path whose projec-
ZION Is nearly due east, exploding at

LATE imported dresses show a decided re-
viyal of the old.fashionod shirred trimmings
BATTING GLOVES of dogskin are worn by lady
fishermen at the seaside. They are cleaned
with kerosene.
A NEW Parisian fancy Is that Of wearing the
bOWioHaiorc, or small bouquet, not in the waist,
but on the left sleeve between the shoulder
and elbow, and quite near the shoulder.
SCAEFs for midsummer wear are made of
heavy black Brussels net, trimmed with laco

the shoulders.
SATIN aud brocade arc the materials most
used at the preseBt for making handsome

There are new heavy, yet soft, bTocades with
the ground woven in small armure patterns.
BLACK velvet bracelets are revived to wear
