BACK HoME.-The North Carolina
University Normal School at Chapel Hill,
closed its session last week, and Prof. Jno
J. Ladd of Staunton, who has been it's
Principal has returned home. The day be-
fore adjournment the exercises had al in
terruption in the shape of the presentation
by the scholars to Prof. Ladd, of hand
some gold headed cane, in token OF the
general appreciation of the way in which
he had conducted the school. The disc of
the head is inscribed 1.-The N. &. U Normal
School to J. J. Ladd, 1873" Mr.. Ladd
speaks with enthusiasm of the school and
of the brightness of the teachers and their
desire to perfect themselves. There were
400 present, the State paying their trans
portation to and from the school. One
party of ten young male teachers came
hundreds of miles in wagon and camped
out, their meals being cooked by aservant,
and another young male teacher walked
one hundred and twenty miles to the
school at which he arrived with only five
cents in his pocket. On his arrival his
fellow teachers set him up financially by a
subscription. Mr.. Ladd says the school
of this year showed a marked improvement
over that of last year and the .leaven is
working with wonderful rapidity in the
old North State.

Missionary to Greece.

Last Sunday morning Rev. Thornton r.
Sampson, son of the late DR.. Sampson who
was professor at Union Theological Sem
mary, and himself a member of the recent
senior class of that seminary, very accep-
tably filled the pulpit of the First Presby-
terrain church Sunday morning, and at
night delivered an interesting lecture on
missions. MI. Sampson who, we learn,
shortly goes to Greece as missionary is
peculiarly fitted for the work, having al
ready spent u year there in a foreign tour
and being conversaAt with the French,
German and modern Greek languages. He
said OF the Greek merchants that they were
among the most thrifty in the world. He
also said that there was seminary for
young ladies in Greece, the principal OF
which is Miss Baldwin. a cousin OF Miss
M. J. Baldwin of the Augusta
Female Seminary, and in travelling
through the country and hearing
the English language spoken with
unusual correctness, he had upon in
quiry nearly always discovered that the
speaker had been educated at Miss Bald
wins school, A gentleman Of the Presby-
terrain church has undertaken the support
of one missionary to Greece, but another is
greatly demanded. That other. in the
person of Mr.. Granville T. Story, has
come forward and placed himself in the
hands of the committee. who have raised
the money for his support. But the ex-
penses of his route and outft-about $3.50
or S4OO-are yet to be raised, and it is
hoped that contributions to that extent
may be made, directed to Rev. Richard
McIlwaine, Baltimore. If it is done, Mr..
Story can sail on the oath inst, with Mr..
Sampson and wife, who leave on that day.
Mr.. Sampson will be ordained at meet
ing of West Hanover Presbytery in Char
lottesville tonight. Rev. DIR. Dabney,
Rev. DR.. Ben Smith, of the Theological
Seminary; Rev DR.. Atkinson, President
of Hampden Sidney College, and Rey. DIR.
Wilson, of Baltimore, Secretary of Foreign
Missions, will be present there.

AN INFALLIBLE SIGN BY WHICH TO
KNOW A FULLY RIPENED WATHRMEL-
oN.--When the melon begins to change
color inside and it's seeds to turn black,
small black speck, scale or blister begins
to appear on the outer cuticle or rind.
These are multiplied and enlarged as the
fruit natures, A ripe melon will show
them thickly sown over the surface; par
tial development only Indicates half ripen-
ed fruit; full crop of blisters reveals its
perfect ripeness. When hundreds of mel
ons are strewn along the sidewalk you will
have to look pretty sharply to find one that
! exhibits satisfactory appearance. BUTT
is unfailing when found, and by following
this guide you may walk away with your
melon with the most entire confidence. The
blister is only to be seen upon close in
spection, but is plainly visible when that
is given.

A Sad Case.

Last week, in Washington. Eliza Staun-
ton, well-dressed lady, about thirty
eight years of age, formerly employed as a
clerk in the Treasury Department there,
driven to despair for want Of work, leaped
into the Potomac river from the high wall
at the Arsenal grounds. The water not
being deep she began to plow her way out
into deep water, dipping under with de-
termination to drown herself. Some la
borers rescued her and she was taken back
to her residence. She is native. OF Au-
gusta, where her relatives live, was for
merly an attendant at the Lunatic Asylum
in Stanton and then an employee of the
Deaf, Dumb 4 Blind Asylum, when it was
temporarily removed to the Virginia Fe-
male Institute building. After the close
of the war her mind became affected and
she was patient in the Asylum here. On
becoming sane she went to Washington to
obtain employment. She is a lady OF in
telligence and filled the position of secre-
tary to the Workingwomen's Association
there, an organization of which she was
chief organizer. After that was done she
tried to start Workingmen's association,
but failed. Her adverse circumstances
again unbalanced her mind, and she has
now been committed to the Insane Asy-
lum at Washington.
