In the Madison county correspon-
dence of the Raleigh Observer, signed
Rock, ;" appears the following, with
reference to State Geologist, Prof VIM
c. Kerr:

an appendix containing first his cele-

manner and thus holds them up TO

Speaking for the paper we simply
deny that any such article has ever
been pin ed by us. ANY one acquaint
ed with the editor VIII not need be
told that no article holding up our
state or people to the ridicule of the
world, shall ever, or ever has, ap
pear in a paper OF which he has even
nominal connection. Nor would Prof.
Kerr write such Without being
special champi, o. Prof. Kerr, We
deem it nothing but justice 10 a al

Carolina, t. say that no man has the
welfare of the s ate more al heart.

apprehension of an numerous allusion

The feminine mind is notably lack

able to take large view of things and
easily warped and prejudiced. We
are perfectly aware of the rude
strength of this assertion and were it
not that we a,e securely garris oned

it. Proofs, however enough to salts

Only the other day gentleman of the
old school who had been reading Sol

his masculine head that what is good

OF enforcing that wholesome obed dience
which IS necessary in every well reGu

poured over her can of kerosene oil,
and then threatened to start first

ALTHOUGH THE BANK OFFICIALS THOUGHT

ST. PAUL, Mimi, November 23.-There
appears to be only slight foundation for
the rumor of the discovery of Etheridge
who swindled the Merchants Hall bank
here out of over 900 in San Francisco
The only feature absolutely confirmed IN
the sensational account published this
morning is that VIM. r. Merriam, cashier
of the bank, is absent on an unknown er-
rand. The officers are reticent as before,
but the best accredited statement is that he
went to Nebraska in response to advices
that man supposed to be Etheridge was
there, and discovered that it was another
man. This is only one of a series of false
clues that have found their way into the
hands Of the bank officials.

THE LAST OF LAPPIN.

TIE SALE OF TIE LAND BELONGING TO HIN
AND HIS PARTNER, scsAFFoRp, AT sESE-
CA, YEsTERDAY.
SENECA, Kan, November 22-The great
sale of the real estate belonging to Samuel
Lappin, eI- Treasurer OF Kansas, and Chas.
G. Scraford, his former partner, has just
closed. There vas a large attendance at
the sale. The aggregate proceeds amount
ed to nearly $4,000. The money thus re-
allied will more than pay of the claim Of
the State of Kansas, whose school fund
Lappin plundered, and have upward of
5000 to be distributed among the creditors
Of Scraford, whose estate is in bankruptcy.
All Of the assets OF both Lappin and Scraf-
ford were sold, and if the sale is confirmed
by the United States Court, the affairs Of
the once noted firm will be closed Up with
in the next six months.
