Stanley, of that place, and a nephew %
the Hon Edward Stanley, who for some
time represented the Newbern District in
Congress, but subsequently removed IL
California from whence he was sent to
Newber as military Governor Of this Stat

it with the view of being of service. in q

often honored him with their sufferages
Judge Stanley lived in Washington. N. C.

which has deprived him of beloved son
The telegram was addressed 10 Judge Stan
ley's brother-in- law, Mr.. George H. KELLEY
in this city. y.-Vice Consul Il. f. Hide
of this city, writing from LandefjoId, Nsr-
way, states that he had just returned from
trip eight miles in the interior where he
had been to examine a wonderful discovery
that had been made by some workmen en-
gagged in leveling a large artificial mound.
This was no less than a vessel about seveutT
feet long, with timbers all in perfect order,
and the workmanship comparing favorably
with anything of the kind at the present
day. There were found in the vessel evi-
dences to show that it bad been placed ir
the position where it was found about l. To-
years ago. The bones Of the supposed oil
GERS and crew were found in perfect order
1t is the opinion of the natives that the yes
sci was the property Of some of the old vi
kings, OF pirates, that infested the Northeri
seas more than thousand years ago, and
preyed upon the people along the coast, as
the merchants intercepted 10y them, and
whose occupation was considered in the
early d,ys as reputable as any other trade
or calling. They also believe that the YES
Sc. was used by the Vikings as depository
for the bodies Of their deai comrades. but
how it came to be far in the interior
some seven cr eight miles from the coast,
is the question The discovery has created
a great deal of sensation

DIR. TANNERS FAsT-ONE OF HIS PRE-
DIcTIoNS As To HIS STRENGTH ALREADY
EERIFIED.-Ner York, Juu The con-
dition of Or. Tanner, the fasting man. at

was twenty four hours ago. His predic-
ton that when he had zen nine days with
out food he would be ronger than during
the preceding two or rec days has been
verified. His eyes to n sht are bright. his
voice strong. and when the correspondent
of the Record visited him he was sitting ir
chair at the side of his hammock bed in
Clarendon Hall DIR. Gupn and ether phys
icians who were watching him said that
his strength was truly wonderful under the
circumstances
The Record correspondent was permitted
to talk with DR.. Tanner who, III response
to questions, said II have no headache; !;

very little craving for food. think ! shall

DR.. Tanner took a walk In the open air
for few minutes just before dark this
evening. The hall tonight was made un
comfortably warm by numerous gas burners
but DR.. Tanner did not complain of the
heat. He directed that in case he dies his
body shall be given to the United States
Medical College of this city for dissection.
He says he fully realizes the fact that he
may suddenly he taken with spasms and
die. He is, however, cheerful to night. A
few minutes after O'Clock he read chap

that it appeared in that State as early as
1886; that it was more or less injurious ia
Ger tain sections in 1854, 1885, 1856, 1857,
and 1859, that in 1856 it was qnite de
etructive, as also in 1870 II: F: but 1874 was
the year in which it was most injurious in
this State. -
From a communication received from Mr..
j. H. Wissler, of Lodkviile ~ c. we learn
this was very destructive in hat State about
1887, date not mentioned by Dr. Fitch.
The same writer also states that ''it was
very troublesome about twenty years ago
159)," at which time we learn by letter
from Mr.. f. A. McWhorter, of Camden
County, Georgia. that it injured the rice
crop in that county, the only certain notice
we have of its appearance in that State.
Mr.. w. J. koss, of Stanley County, North
Carolina, writes US that ''these insects were
abundant and did much damage in that
county in 1877 and 1915"
1t appears from DR.. Fitch's second report
that they were SO numerous In Virginia and
North Carolina in 1856, as to spread gen
eral alarm from the mountains to The sea-
board.
NAMES AND DESCRIPTION.
The chinch- bug is small insect less than
one-fourth of an inch long, its length usu-
ally not exceeding three-twentieth of an
inch; its width something less than one
half its length; rounded on the underside
aud gular, black dot on their outer margins
1t belongs to the order Hemiptera and sub
order Hete,'Upter0, to which groun also be
long the common bed bug, squash bug, and
other similar true bugs. This species, like
all the rest belonging to the order, has the
mouth prolonged into slender, horny,
jeinted beak. usually turned under the
breast when not in use With this instru
ment. and the slender needle-like seta in
closed within it. they puncture the bark,
leaves. and stems of plants, and suck out
their juices. 1t is in tins way the chinch
bug obtains its food. AS it has no means
of gnawing plants, and is so diminutive in
size, 1T would appear to be incapable of in
ficting any very serious injury on vegeta-
tion; but, as heretofore stated, what it
lacks in individual capacity for intlicting
injury is made up by the immense numbers
which are occasionally developed. A my
rad of tiny pumps necessarily drawing
away the juices of a plant must in short
time cause it to decay and die.

The Charleston Ne,us and Courier con-
tains dispatches giving further particulars
of the late ouel. Col. Cash talks very freely

Col Cash went to Darlington county on
Sunday and spent the Sht with his atten-
dants at the house Of Mr.. r. ID. Lee, with
in few miles OF DuBose's bridge. The
duelling ground is about half way between
Camden and Cashs Depot, and near the
line dividing Kersha and Darlington coun-
ties.
Col, Cash returned home on Monday. 1t
is rumored that he sent word to the sheriff
of Darlington county yesterday that he need
not come to arrest him, as he would go
down whenever he got note from him.
There is general expression of horrible
regret at the duel and its fatal result, and
it is rumored that another meeting between
CYL. Shannon's son and Mr.. w. 3. Cash's
son, is contemplated, and that there was
an agreement between the ShapnOns faith
er and son, that if the father fell in the
fight, the son should take up tie quarrel
At Cheraw universal regret is expressed
at the sad termination of the difficulty at
Bennettsville. and in Marlboro there IS
much feeling against Col Cash at this place
and in the county am Informed that there
is a great excitement and feeling OF gen
eral indignation against Col Cash.
CAMDEN, july 9.-No arrests of the duel
ing parties have yet been made. The feel
ing of the community against DePass is that
he suffered Shannon to be killed rather than
shoulder the responsibility of his own &C
tions. He has left the town for SIX weeks
on the plea of professional engagements.

have been signed by the clerk of court and

awkward position The Anti-Dueling Ss-
ciety Will take no action until the excite
ment has subsided.

VALUE OF IMMIGRATIoN. A curious es-
innate of the value of immigration has
been made by Dr. A. S. Heath before the
farmers club at Cooper Union, New York:
Forty thousand emigrants in thirty
days or one a minute, has come to us in
1880. At valuation of $500 apiece, this
means national increase of wealth of $500
a minute, $4,000 an hour, S72O, 900 a day,
$2l 800, 900 month, or $266, 700, 600 a
year. This means just SO much more addl-
tional annual production to which fair
profit of earnings is added. This means in
creased export of wheat over meat, it means
development of agricultural and ali other
domestic industries, it means the rapid set
Ting and improvement Of public and unpro
ductive private acres of the West, South,
North and East.

strenuously denied by his friends, who say that
they were originated by his enemies during his
