Wilmington Star A terrible
scene occurred at Black Greek, on
the Wilmington g. Weldon Rail
road last Saturday evening, a little
before 5 o'clock. A storm was
threatening but it had not com
menced and from all appearances it
was yet a considerable distance off
and the people were slow to seek
their houses for shelter as it was not
even raining Suddenly a thunder
cloud split the heaven with a power
full crash and an electric bolt was
seen to strike the store Of DR..
Woodard. 1t was all in an instant
but it left death aud destruction in
its path. Those who first came TO
the scene found amidst the cloud of
sulphuric smoke the dead bodies Of
Rachel Sanders and Mathew Daw
son, both colored, the latter only
ten years old. The woman and boy

MI. p. L. Woodard, a Son Of DR..
Woodard, who was standing in tho
door Il the time, was strsck to the
7asorand appeared to be dad; He
was picked up totally unconscious
and it was feared that he would not
secoyer. He came to his senses the
following morning, aud We are glad
to hear is now doing well. Others
in the vicinity felt the shock more
or less, and quite a panic prevailed
n the little town until the extent OF
the disaster was learned. The store
too, sustained some damage.

The Granville Free Lance says :
A young unmarried editor, who
doesn't live a thousand miles from

about his ears and will probably
have to leave the State, all on &C
count of an unfortunate accident in
making up" his paper. 1t seems
there was a concert given by young
ladies OF the city, and the gallant
young editor wrote it up in splendid
shape. The same day he had visited
a herd Of short horn cattle owned
by a farmer in the vicinity, and he
wrote up the cattle also. The cross
eyed foreman of that Office got the
two articles mixed up as follows

The Eiider-Duck.

In country SO poor as Iceland
the down of the eider-duck is an
appreciate source Of wealth, and
the bird has been practically domes-
ticated. Close to every little ham
del-stad, or trading station, if there
is a convenient island, there is sure
to be colony Of eider-duc<s, and
the birds are to be seen by hundreds
swimming and flutteringa about their
island home, or sguatted upon its
shores in conscious security from
the foxes which infest the mainland.
From the largest Of these .duckeries
as much as three hundred pounds
are cleared annually, the down be-
ing worth about a sovereign per
pound on an average. The ducks
make their nests among the rough
green hummocks, characteristic OF
all grassland in Iceland laying their
large olive green eggs upon neat lit
tie beds of down, so soft and brown.
They are perfectly tame, allowing
| themselves to be lifted off their eggs
and replaced with only few queru-
lous notes Of remonstranee. When
the nest has been repeatedly robbed
of down, and the poor duck finds
difficulty In replacing it, the drake
comes to the rescue and recognizes
his paternal responsibility by flrn
ishing a supply of down from his
own breast.

Once more we are happy. We have
been unanimously elected to that hon

always felt, deep down in our soul, that
we were destined TO become great mu-
stefan, and now our fondest hopes (the
longing of years. are about TO be real
lied Although troubled with chapped
lips, we nevertheless played the drum in
very good time, not dropping more than
every other note, and from the encour-
agement received at the hands of an APP
preciative audience. feel hopeful of yet
being able to manipulate the tink1ing
cymbals. As soon as the weather per-
mits we will take that little drum under
our arm and, repairing to the adjacent
mountain tops, beat away to our hearts
content. 1t would be well for the band
to send for gross of extra drum heads.

Seen Better Days.

The following theme was suggested

true; we come in contact with many such /
fallen creatures among the thousands /
following the fortunes Of new mining /
country.]
Only hummer, poor frozen tramp, |
All out at the elbows, not friend in
the camp.
Hungry, weary, footsore and weak,
Dazzled, bewildered, unable to speak
Spurn'd by the rich, shun'd by thepoor,
Turned like the leper, from everyone's
door.
Face dirt bespatter'd, eyes that are red
Hair all entangled, on the still comedy
head
/ Ragged, forsaken, left in maze,
He's one of a million who's seen better
days
Yes seen better days in his far eastern
home,
Before being tempted. he leftit to roam,
To roam through the wild west, to
camps that entice
I The stranger forum, the unwary to vice.
Seen better days with fond mothers
care,
A sweetheart's devotion, a good sisters
prayer.
sober, upright, Industrious youth.
lively companion, a lover of truth
He now vainly struggles to turn from
his ways,
He's one of million who's seen better
days.
From the Church to the Rum shop, a
step to the hill,
The prayers are forgotten, hushl warn
ings, be still.
Over the brink, dashing headlong he
slips,
With the maddening cup still pressed
to his lips
From bad to worse, yet swiftly he flies,
, His hopes are crushed, his manhood
soon dies.
His friends forsake him, the dogs turn
aside,
AS he reels through the streets, a full
swelling tide,

He's one of million who's seen better

Only hummer, poor frozen tramp
5 All ont at the elbows, not a friend il

Then hustle him, hustle him, jostle
him out.
What right have such vermin to b
! loafng about
= A load on the city, disgrace on thu

A poor drunken pauper, thorough
i dead beat.
e His sweetheart abandoned, no prayer

That heart broken mother who sleep
