ESCAPE OF Four OTHER PERSONS. -Mon-
day of last week commenced the Superior
Court of Mocksville. On their way thith-
er were John Hartman, Robert Orell, Chas.
l.. Jones and Rachel Hampton, white, and
a colOred man and woman, all in one wag-
on drawn by a mule team. Coming to
Dutchman's Creek, which Is spanned by a
bridge, they found it covered by the flood
to a depth or more than a foot, bat as it is
often done, under took to cross aud as the
bridge has no ratings, missed the line of
the bridge and all plunged into the swift
flowing water. Then began a struggle fer
life which can better b. imagined than de
scribed., with the helpless human beings
and animals. The drowned are Rachael
Hampton, whose body has not yet been
found to the latest date received, although
more than a hundred men are searching for
expired a day or SO after being rescued,
from the effects of injuries and water taken
int the stomach. Mr.. Jones climbed a
tree and was taken from his perch. Others
seized limbs OF trees, and sustained them
selves until a boat was fetched. 1t is stated
that while Mr.. Jones was in the tree, he
Invested himself of an overcoat, which con-
tanned $50, and valuable papers, and cast
all into the stream, but was afterwards
found money and papers are gone. When
Mr.. Hartman was found, though living, so
great was his fright that his rigid fingers
holding q limb had to be priced with 1orcs
to release the hand. The mules were
drowned and the wagon recovered.-States-

THE SIAMEsE TwINGs-It is an ~interes-
ting fact, and one perhaps not generally
known, that the Siamese twins used to
have frequent fights. They were indicated
for ono of these, at a term of Surry court
some time before they died, submitted for
an ARRAY and judgment was suspended up
On payment of cost. Thi. is a matter Of
record. Before the war the twins were
great secessionists, but afterwards, being
much embittered by the loss of their slaves,
they took No interest in politics and did
not 60 to the polls, though they did
come out and vote for Maj. Robbins the
second time he ran for Congress.-State--

the Western North Carolina Railroad Com
panv filed a motion in the CHited States
Supreme Court to set aside "Jo Bradleys
order approving the appeal bond of the
parties who are Sueing claims against the
Western Division. The motion declares
that the parties who signed the bonds as
~sureties were not worth the sums Of money

and that they approval of the bond was
procured by the false and fraudulent repre-
sensations made by G.. NJ. McLoud. J. II.

signed the bond were not responsible forthe

TO MEASURE CORN IN THE CRIB

This rule will apply to a crib of any size
or kind. Two cubic feet of good, sound,
dry corn in the ear will make a bushel of
shelled corn. To get, then, the quantity of
measure the length, breadth and height of
the crib, inside of the rail; multiply the
length by the breadth, and the product by
the height; then divide the product by two,
and you have the number of bushels of
shelled corn in the crib.
To find the number of bushels of apples,
potatoes, etc., in a bin, multiply the length,
breadth and thickness together, and this
product by 8, and point off one figure in the
product for decimals.

PICKING II OLD BANJO.-Playirg the
banjo Is now the most aristOcratiC musical
enjoyment. Senator Pendleton's daughter
is the only young lady in society who plays
the harp, and there are not over half a doZ-
en- who can play the piano with any skill,
but the notes Of the banjo are heard on ev-
cry hand. Sketching, painting tiles, en-
broidery and roeler- skating have been abon-
dcned for banjo playing. A young fellow
who came here with a ompany Of negro
MINISTRIES, at SIS per week and bis railroad
fare, is now a ''professor' Of banjo playing,
and has all the pupils he desires at S. for q
lesson Of one hour. Some of the demOi-
selle have embroidered bags in which they
keep their banjos, which have silver orna-
ments and are very swell affairs. - Wash

THE FATALITY OF THE OPAL.-The odd
supelstitions attached to certain precious
stones have received fresh encouragement
from the singular series of adventures which
befell the Princess Olga Galitzin in Paris.
She admired 4 beautiful opal bracelet in a
shop Of the Palais Regal, her husband Git
was during the honey moon) presented it to
her. She put it on then and there. Ten
minutes after she was knocked down by a
cab. and Though she escaped unhurt, the
clasp of her new bracelet was broken. 1t
was repaired and the next evening the Prin-
cess wore it again at a ball, where she fell
badly broke, the ornament once more and
cut her aim deeply. Again the bracelet
was repaired. and the lady, undaunted by
the proverbial ili-luck Of opals, wore it to
the opera. There she lost it, and the Prince
Dreaths now more freely.

They VISITED this place about year ago and
delighted a large audience. They will presents

cent concert the Muskegan Journal says:
"Donavin's Tennesseeans gave one OF their
entertainments at The Opera House on Satur-
day night. 1t was highly enjoyable. While
the traces Of careful training in the voices OF
the singers, both male and female, were mani
fest, yet nature was not covered up and smoth-
cred by high art. Highly cultivated musical
tastes may take delight in the triumphs OF
highly trained fashi enable operate singers,
and wonder at the compass and fexibilty OF
their voices but the simple melodies, which
seem to be an outpouring Of human feeling,
especially when acc ompanied by rich harmony,
and come gushing forth in such manner that
our feelings are touched and art is forgotten,
are what will always comma aud the popular
applause, such was the singing. The NJ ethod-
ist Conference being in session, there was a
large attendance OF preachers and the manner
in which our reverend friends enjoyed it was
enough to pnt misanthrope in good humor.--
