CAUGHT STEALING.

On Thursday of last week, colored
woman named Mary Barnhill, who lives near
Clover, was detected in the act of stealing
several articles in T. M. Dobson's dry goods
store She had filled two bags with goods
taken from the counter, amounting to 1856
at regular prices, before the proprietor Of the
store stepped forward and told her he had
witnessed the whole transaction, though he
was in another part of the store at the time.
Denial was useless, and at a hearing the next
morning before Trial Justice Lewis, on the
charge of petit larceny, she was given the
alternative of paying fine of $40 and costs,
or going to Jail for twenty days. The fine
was paid.

DEATH OF A FORMER CITIZEN.


Mr.. Joseph A Baker, who for number
of years previous to 1855 was resident of
Yorkville, died in Iredell county, N. c., on
the I'd instant. He will be kindly remem'
bered by the few Of bis acquaintances in this
community who survive him. From an obit'
uary notice in the Statesville Landmark, we
copy the following tribute to bis memory:
"At the residence Of T. NJ. c. Davidson,
ESQ.,, August End, Mr.. Jos. A. Baker, aged
fftynine years and some months He pos.
sessed an excellent mind and sound Judgment
With fine sense of honor and an unAinching
determination in the discharge of duty, he
had many of the elements of most noble
character. He was a tender husband and
father, a kind neighbor, good son and
brother. He had been gallant soldier in
company D, 42nd regiment N. c. troops. He
leaves wife and little son and very many
friends to mourn his loss. He ever mani
tested the greatest respect for religion, and
we hope his prayers were heard and that he
rests in Heaven -

ALMOST A FIRE.

Between II and IL o'clock last Friday
night, small wooden building belonging to
the estate Of Fl. F. Adickes, deceased, and
between his late residence and corner brick
store, was discovered to be on FIRE. The
house was used by James Gadberry, colored,
as tin shop In one corner was piled
quantity of rags, in which the fire is sup
posed to have originated-probably from
spontaneous combustion, as there seem to be
no circumstances sustaining the supposition
that it was of incendiary origin. The Hook
and Ladder. company was prompt in answer
ing the alarm, and by the exertions of the
members who hastened to the scene, aided by
several citizens, the flames were subdued, and
what might have proved serious fire averted.

Yorktown Centennial, has issued circular
regarding the arrangements for the celebra
tion which is to take place October Is, 19, 20
and 81. Present advices promise a military
representation from every State in the Union
More than 10000 troops have already signi
fed their intention of being present, and it
is believed the militia to take part in the
celebration will exceed 100000 Many States
will send full regiments. The Governors Of
most of the States will also attend, accom-
panied by their staffs For the reception
and proper comfort of the latter building
is to be erected.
- The New York Herald, Conkling organ,
isapparently doing its best to allay public anx-
iety about Arthur's course if he becomes
President. 1t prints interviews with Wander
bilt, Jay Gould, Judge Hilton and Depew,
all avowng their confidence in Arthur and
absence of any fears about his financial or
general policy. The Herald is supposed to
speak by authority when it says: "He will
make no change in the administration will
make no removals from Office at large except
for cause; will attempt no change in the
policy or in the personnel of the present ad
ministration for to do or attempt to do any
of these things, would be to invite ruin upon
his own head. We believe that he will
quietly take up the reins as they fall from
General Garfeld's hands"
Secretary of War Lincoln, according to
an interview in the New York Tribune, does
not think the army will make much of dis
play at the coming Yorktown celebration.
He says most of the $4,000 appropriated by
Congress will have to be devoted to the en-
tertainment of the expected visitors from
abroad, and that all it will be possible for
him to do, will be the concentration of the
few troops stationed at New York, Baltimore,
Washington and Fortress Monroe, in all not
more than 1000 regulars. 1t is the intention
to bring Company F of the Third Artillery
from California, because it is an exact coun-

Burning of q Staye Factory.

The stave factory at Hamler, a sta
tion seven miles west of Deshler, on the
B. & y. railroad, was burned on Mon.
day night. The factory was the pro-
perty of Mr.. A. W. Lee, of Perrys-
burg. How the fire originated is not
defnately known, though tits supposed
to have originated from spark Iodg,
ing somewhere under the roof. The
factory ami two dry kllns were de
stroyed. Only one piece of the ma.
chinery in the building was saved
Mr.. Lee estimates the loss at from
$4,000 to $4,000, on which there was
but little insurance. The stock in the
yard was not injured. Mr.. Lee has
lost by fire, in the past few years, about
100000 over insurance. He owns
factories at Milton Center and Deshler
on the D. & M. road, and the one al
Hamler. He has already given orders
to rebuild the factory at Hamler, and
will endeavor to have it in operation
in 60 days. Mr.. L, has much pluck
and push, and does not premit the FIRE
fiend to drive him from the field.-

THE manufacture of oleomargarine
in this country on such an extensive
scale as it is, has almost ruined our ex-
port trade in butter and cheese. Last
year we sent 100000 pounds week
to Europe, and this year it has not
reached 900, 200 pounds week. The
butter export has fallen off 100000
pounds week. The loss falls on our
farmers, and it is to their interest to
see that the manufacture of artificial
butter has such legal restraints placed
about it that 1t cannot be put on the
market for genuine butter.

AN UNHEALTHY WINTER.-There are all
the indications oft. The weather will be
uncertain; we shall have no severe frost,
but much damp, rainy weather, exceeding
ly fertile in creating miasma in the air and
propogating malaria. Throat diseases are
sure to prevail, perhaps more so than
those of the chest, as the organs of the
throat are quicker attacked by the damp
air. Nervous diseases will also prevail,
as the low, dull temperature will lessen
vitality still more in those who already
possess little. Loss of appetite will trou-
BILE us, and digestion is not improved by
damp, soft air. Malarial fevers will at
tack crowded houses, so smallpox and all
blood diseases will find fertile soil to
grow in. These damp low winters, though
perhaps easier to bear than the sharp
frosty, cold seasons, are generally fruitful
in diseases. 1t will require great care to
keep out oft. What are the safeguards
against disease? Thorough ventilation in
houses, proper clothing for head, throat
and feet; good exercise; nutritious living
and all avoidance of taking cold. Imme.
diate remedial action when this has taken
place. In such winters as these we must
not allow colds to grow upon us, as they
bring other troubles in their rear.
One great prevention of taking cold is
to never remain in wet clothes and to use
outside wraps that will absorb wet and
not allow it to penetrate. Above all to
avoid wet feet; also to keep the feet warm,
and II a cold has been caught to use mus
tard and hot water for the feet at once.
The foot bath must not be taken higher
