CIRcUsT. W. C. Coup is exhibiting
his circus at Chicago. The papers say it
is a fraud. But there was ! biz crowd
the other night; when suddenly the
tents all blew down upon the audience.
The cries Of the multitude. the believing
Of the animals, and the roar Of the storm,
united to make a lively little Ring.
Not SO bad, however. as Sells circus
experienced at Independence, Iowa. The
tornado to e the tents in pieces, over
turned the wagons. and killed three Of the
employees. Many persons were woun-
ded.
AT a circus, in Casenovia, New York,
a tight rope broke. and down came
Messrs. Hei book. and Thomas, breaking
both their necks.
Two circus bummers outraged a little
girl in Western New York, and the peo-
pie are swarming all over the country tc
hunt them down. They will dance on
tight rope, if found.

CASH STILL CIRCULATING. Charles
Reade wrote a novel that became famous
as-"Very Hard CASH South Carolina
has a citizen who seems bent on winning
fame under the same title. The Farmer
and Mechanic stated on Wednesday last
that Col. f. B. G.. Cash, who killed Col.
Shannon, had been knocked down by
Capt. Malloy, O Cheraw, and that sub,
sequent proceedings" were causing great
excitement in our sister State. Two
days later, the Press agents discovered
the affair, and gave fuller particulars as
follows
''Col. Cash went to Cberaw, and with
Mr.. Wells and several other friends went
to the store Of Capt. Theodore Malloy.
Col. Cash went up to Capt. Malloy and
asked if he had said that Blair, of Ker-
shaw, was no better than Whittemore.
Malloy replied Yes w%hereupon Cash
called him "a damned liar Malloy at
once struck Cash, and Cash falling over a
pillow Malloy sprang on top of him. Sew
eral blows were struck by each, but
friends iuterferred and they were sepa-
rated.
On Sunday, Mr.. w. B. Cash went to
Cheraw, carrying a chalienre from his ia
Their. Capt. Malloy declined to receive
the challenge on the ground that the day

making arrangements for 4 hostile meet

On Monday, Col. Cash and his son
went to Cheraw, young G. on horseback
and Col. G.. on the train. Col. Cash was
arrested as he got off the train, aud taken
before a trial justice who required him to
give bond of one thousand dollars to keep
the peace. Through the influence Of his
counsel, Gen. w. l.. L. Prince, the bond
was aiterward reduced to four hundred,
which was given by Col. Cash. and he
returned home, at Cash Depot"
Meantime the Washington City RepuI-
uc0n says:-
Colonel Z. B. G. Cash, the duelist
who threw down the gauntlet to Senator
u. C. Butler in IA pamphlet last year, has
announced himself an Independent candi

Another Good School

The card Of Carolina College was not

the institute came to hand and is COM
mended to our readers:
For the FARMER AND MECHANIC.
The last scholastic year OF Carolina
College was quite successful. The com
mencement exercises, May 24th and 18th,
and the grand sermon in the large Col,
lege Chapel the night of the 25th were
highly gratifying to the many friends OF
the institution. TIE prospects for a large
increase Of patronage the next term are
very 1attering. The place, Ansonville,
the large compass, the splendid buildings,
are peculiarly adapted 10 school work.
The health of the place is unsurpassed.

A COOP SCnooL.-This is a modest
phrase. >pparently; but if you reflect
What IS better than a good school? We
delight in saying good words for sucl
schools. SunflOwers are commended to
some sections, as a protection against
miasmia and pestillential fevers Educa
ton is the only remedy for the stagnant
marshes of Popular Ignorance, that send
fourth the foul odors of vice, the hot
fevers of passion and prejudice; the deadly
epidemics of corruption and crime, And
the schools. like sunfowers, not only cor
rect the evil, but also continually point
the way by their bright faces to the sun
of enlightment and progre s.
In another column, note the card OF
Maj. VIM. Bingham Lynch's well knowp
mathematical, classical, and scientific
Academy. 1t is located at High Point,
village of twelve hundred inhabitants, on
the Piedmont Airline Railroad, fifteen
miles West Of Greensboro, and one of the
most pleasant of its size in the State.
Many Northern visitors come there to en-.
Joy its level and shaded streets, good SO
ciety and good schools. 1t is a second
New Haven in some respects.
Maj, Lynch having been prepared fol
college by his uncle, the late w. J. Bling
ham, and associated with him for some
time in the Bingham School at Oaks, and
afterwards for fifteen years with his sons
at Mebaneville, N. c., has continued in
his school, the discipline which has givcr
fame and permanence through three geu,
e~rations to the Bingham School.
His government is of the parental type
gentle, persuasive, and at the same time
firm. And we feel sure that in no other
school in North Carolina are superior ad
vantages offered in the moral and meptaI
trainings of its pupils. The roll last SEES
sion showed 72 pupils Of we'll known
families.

we Invite the Attention OF Oo'
Twin-B rotherS,--Tho eocn-
ers of southern SCHOOLS.

As frequently remarked in these col
umns we regard the teachers of the
South as Co. Workers. or Twin Brothers,
with the Press in helping to roll the
daily gathering ball of Southern Progress
and Prosperity. Their work is conjunc-
tive: the one educating by Precept; the
other by Example; the one guiding the
Young, the other arousing and ensplrlt-
ing the maturer years. Their work is
also cooperative. The Schools prepare
the mind to appreciate Newspapers, and
tho Newspapers awaken the masses to
the need of Education. Science, Art, etc.
Both give to the public more than they
receive for the lessons Of a school
teacher. and the sound suggestions, or
new discoveries which the editor sends
forth into thousands of homes, are not
ended when paid for. A single scholar,
wisely trained may lay all mankind debt
ors for the care which his teacher bestow'
ed upon his intellect a single copy OF
the paper may prove a National Benefac'
tor by stimulating some movement foI
public welfare, or encouraging some
drooping faith aud leading him on to q
career r~eplete with blessings for his race
and section.
For these reasons we have often covet
ed the wealth of Gould, and Vanderbilt,
and Peabody, that We might assist in es-
tablishing . frst-class free school (imlted
