y poor unfortunate tramp. was
drowned at Hines, Mills, this county,
on last Wednesday. Mr.. Hines two
sons, Alex, and Ruddle, had crossed
over at the ferry, one taking the large
boat and the other the small boat, and
had gone down below the dam on the
opposite side from the mill, to fish.
1t is supposed the man came along,
and seeing the boats, concluded to
ferry himself over in the small one,
at least the first seen of him, was by
the two young Hines, in the boat
drifting rapidly towards the dam.
They gave directions how to pull, but
he needed them not, and over the dam
he went, capsizing the boat and throw
ing him out, there being some four
feet fall. The young men ran below
the dam, and broke loose boat
belonging TO Mr.. Renfro, which was
locked with chain, and even at their
own peri! went as rapidly as possible
to his assistance, and caught him by
the hair as he was sinking the last time.
Notwithstanding their exertions, they
were too late. DIR. Westerfeld ar
rived about the time they got to the
shore with him, and pronounced him
beyond the reach of human skill. He
was considerably bruised from the fall,
over the dam.
Coroner, Thos. III. Bos well, was sent
for and the following jury summoned
viz; A. I. Hines, Mark Renfro. VIM.
NJ. Potts, Thos. f. Vance, w. Il. Bean
and D. L. Hines, who after, hearing
the evidence returned the following
verdict.
1--WE the jury summoned to hold an
inquest upon the body of man whose
name Is supposed to be l.. III. Long,
state upon oath, that we believe the
deceased came to his death, by ac-
cidental drowning"
The only circumstance by which it
was supposed that his name wasL.
Long, was linen handkerchief found
upon his person with that name writ
ten upon it. A brass button, a china
button, nickel in money, a small tin
can, and lot of old rags, and strings.
were found upon his person, he had on
two suits of old, ragged, dirty clothes.
lie staid the night, before at Leo
Wimsatt's, aud told them his name
was Lay, or Lake, said he had been
married but his wife was of no advan.
tage to him, and he was out hunting
work. He was a low heavy set man,
would weigh probably 175 pounds.
45 or 80 years old, dark hair, and dark
complexion.
The coroner got a nice suit of clothes.
and gave him decent burial ON the
hill, near Hines Mill. His handker.
chief is in this office, and the other
articles are at Hines mill.

How the women Were Saved.

A Beaufort N. c. correspondent of
the New York Herald furnishes an ac-
count of the saving of the female guests
of the Atlantic Hotel, in that town,
which was entirely destroyed 10y Mon
DAVIS great storm. At five O'Clock in
the morning the guests commenced to
leave the doomed building, and at that
time the bridge connecting the hotel
with the biliard-room was a wreck, the
waves beating from two to three feet
above the walk. The male guests, with
the help of the good citizens of the
town, secured the walk with ropes and
commenced To save the woman. The
first lady TO be carried out was Miss
Gales, Of Raleigh, \, c., daughter OF the
late SeatOn Gales, about thirteen years
old. Two gentlemen would take
charge Of lady, and together they
would-under the most perilOus circum-
stances, the wind blowing gale and
the waves dashing with the utmost
fury against them-ma6e their way to
the billiard saloon, and then the ladies'
would 20 through to be received nj the
northern door by two gentlemen, who
were up their waists in water, and thence
they would be taken TO terra tirma.
Nearly three. fourths of the guests were
either ladies or children. The children
were nearly all saved by a colored boat
man named James Davis, and Jim tells
with great gusto that Gov. Jarvis has
promised that he shall never 90 to the
penitentiary as long as he is Governor.
There is not relic of the buildings left,
except the remains of one chimney, and
that is not three feet above the ground.

Locks of Hair From the Heads of Pres
idents

In the Patent Office at Washington,
there are many objects OF interest con-
nected with the Government and those
who administered its affairs in times
gone by. While examining some OF
those objects OF curiOsity nothing struck
us so fOrcibly as the samples OF small
locks of hair taken from the heads OF
different Chief Magistrates, from Wash
ington down to President Pierce, secur-
ed in frame covered with glass. Here
is, in fact, part and parcel of what con-
stituted the living bodies of those Illus
trious individuals whose names are as
familiar as household words, but who
now live only in history and the re-
membrance OF the past.
The hair of Washington is nearly
pure white, fine and smooth in its APP
pearance.
That of John Adams is nearly the
same in color, though perhaps little
cOarSer.
The hair of Jefferson is of different
character being mixture OF while and
auburn, or a sandy brown, and rath-
or coarse. In his youth Mr.. Jetfer-
sons hair was remarkable for its bright
color.
The hair of Madison is coarse and OF a
mixed white and dark.
The hair of Monroe is OF handsome
dark auburn, smooth and free from any
mixture. He is the only eX-Presdent
excepting Pierce, whose hair has under
gone no change in color.
The hair of John Quincy Adams is
somewhat peculiar, being coarse and OF
a yellowish gray in color.
The hair of General Jackson is almost
a perfect white, but coarse in its charac-
ter, as might be supposed by those who
have examined the portraits OF the
old hero.
The hair of Van Buren, is white and
smooth in appearance.
The hair OF old General Harrison Is
a fine white with slight mixture Of
black.
The hair of John Tyler is a mixture OF
white and brown.
The hair of James X. Polk is almost a
pure white.
The hair of General Taylor is white,
with a slight mixture of brown.
The hair of Willard Fillmore is, on the
other hand, brown with light mixture
of white.
The hair of Franklin Pierce is Il dark
brown, of which he had plentiful crop.
1t is somewhat remarkable, however,
that since Piercc's time no one has
thought of preserving the hair of his
successors. There are vacancies in the
case; but there is no hair either of Buch-
anan, Lincoln, Johnson or Grant, for the
inspection of futurity,-Ncr York Tttc-
gram.

Mur1er VIII Ont

Theodore J. McGuirk, who was ar
rested at Erie, Pa, the other day, for the
murder of a Waterman in Philadel-
phia dental depot, on October I, 1865,
was lodged in jail at the latter city yes
terdav. BY confession which he made
i'm 1877, when he thought himself on
his death-bed, and which has just been
disclosed TO the authorities, it appears
that ne was cO-COnspiratOr with Nc
Menamin, Mara and Fleetwood, three
notorious rOughs, in starting the great
Philadelphia coal oil fire of February $,
1865. when 1000 barrels of oil, several
thousand tons Of coal and a number OF
buildings were destroyed and several
lives lost; that, in company with Mara,
he murdered the Waterman at the dem
tai depot with billet of wood: that in
1865 he was himself nearly stabbed to
death bv Mara. and that when he re-
covered, a business man, for whom he
declares he contracted to start the oil
fire. sent him So and helped him to
emigrate to Michigan. His confession
was made TO the daughter OF farmer
for whom he worked, but when he re-
covered his health he repented it, and
frequently threatened her life in case
she betrayed him.
