The farmer and mechanic. [volume] (Raleigh, N.C.) 1877-1885, 1882-08-16

The State Grand Lodge of Good
Templars organized yesterday, and is in
session to-day, in the House of Repre-
sentatives.
The Montgomery county Star states
that Maj. Clement Dowd, NJ. g. from the
9Th Dist, and chief counsel for MIR. w.
]. Best, writes to the editor that MI.
Best, at his (Dowds) suggestion. Twill
at an early day survey a route, rta Garth
age, Troy and Albemarle, with view to
locating the Midland Road along said
route; and if the people along the line
will act c~leverly and literally towards
the Company, the chances are good to
get the road"
The tolling of City Hall bell at $50
last night announced the death of Sheriff
j. j. NOVEL;, after an illness of less than
one day, from an affection Of the heart.
We never saw him, but he was a sub
scriber of this paper; and from the fact
that he was five times nominated tor
| Sheriff of Wake ION larger salary than
the G )vernor, or Chief Justice), and,
though a Republican, received many
hundreds of Democratic votes, we assume
that he was a good man.
The Richmonders are greatly exer-
cised over the fact that since the recent
changes in the control of the Richmond
s. Danville r. R., 1.-THE Headquarters
and control have been removed to New
York City, the bulk of travel and freight
is going North via Lynchburg, or West
Point, leaving Richmond, in either case,
a mere way>side station on the grand
Syndicate system.
In this connection we will state, in
answer to frequent inquiry, the reasons
why the Farmer and Mechanic ceased
firing at the Richmond and Dsnville
syndicate. On. B.-The demands of the
bona fde circusses compelled the post
ponement of the other article until next
week.
W. J.. Munden used to be called
Honorable" He is now Miserable"
or some other species of "rabble.'
When he was a Republican Senator from
Pasauotank he boarded at the National
Hotel near a brother carpetbagger who
was finally caught with a satchel full Of
stolen articles including pieces of soap /;
though no one could imagine what he
meant to do with them. The implicated
Law-Maker charged that he had been
made to bear the sins of other Law
Breakers, one of whom was Senator Mum
den. We suspected, from the remarks Of
a servant, that this was nearer the truth
than was generally supposed at the time.
Any way, Munden went home,-we near
Ito Berthe, and soon rewarded the
kindness of a local Republican leader,
James A. Johnston, of Woodville, Ia
merchant who had gone on Munden's
bond when nobody else would reward
ed his benefactor by running away with
his wife, and SO, 500 of his money. The
usual result followed. Munden got the
money into his hands and deserted The
silly woman, who begged to be takeI
back. and is at home again, we hear
Munden fed to Kansas last resort of the
ungodlyl and started a grocery store Al
Van Buren,. Last week an officer with
requisition bounced on him, and he is OF
his way to Pasauotank, where the bull
frog who "jumps from bank to bank
should be careful to keep on the RICH,
side of the law.

The smaIIes1 captive Elephant.
[rrom the New rork sum Fab 9Th

tFrom the New York Sun, Feb. 9th
The second baby elephant eyer born IN cap
tvtty was with its mother yesterday at its BIRTH
place In Bridgeport, Conn.,, and though only a
lew hours old it had developed to an extrAor-
binary degree. 1t was born the night before
~ O'Clock under the most favorable condi-
lions ln the middle of ring where there were
one hundred men and twenty elephants. The
elephants munched hay with indifference, and
betrayed emotion only when the little strang-
er was able 10 stand on its legs. Then they
snorted with great reg clarity and precision for
some moments, and Went TO munching hay
again. The babe as little thing, with rather
Shaggy hair, pink feet, and what seemed to DE
a tail at both ends, as it lay discousolately on
thesawdust. Suddenly the mother d opped su
immense forefoot on the chunky OBJECT, and
began to roll it to and fro with swi tness.
''Merciful spooks p yelled Mr.. Barnum, dane

$40 coo, ana the cd mothers smashir.' it.'

The mother trumpeted about aud made the
widest manifestations of delight.
The little object was seen tomove. 1t got on
turned a complete somersault. Whether it
went over backward or forward will probably
go down to posterity as mystery, as the
spectators are pretty evenly divided on the
iestion of trunk or tail. 1t got up shortly
after, began to move about, and stayed on it's
feet all night. 1t grew very fast. 1t weighed
145 pounds. was about 80 inches gh and IS
inches in length. lis hair was long. The trunk,
which was quite bald and mea sured only seven
inches from the under lip to the tip, cufleu
about in the most waggish msnner, and the
legs, which have as yet not noticeable joints,
or are all joints performed a series of brilliant
but erratic evolutions, which carried the baby
in unexpected directions.
Mr.. Barnum has insured her FOR $500 O.
paying $1,000 week for one year. A S 0 CLOCK
last night, when the baby was just one day old,
symptoms of playfulness began to manifest
themselves. She ran to her mother AMI then

Last Saturday, Judge Cox overruled
Guiteau's motion for a new trial, and
sentenced him in the following words:
"Tbat you be taken hence to the common.
Jail of the District, fro m whence you came
and there be kept in confinement, and on
Friday, the Both day of June, 1882, You be
taken to the place prepared for execution,
within the walls of said Jail, and there be-
tween the hours CT ~ NJ. and p. NJ, YOU be
hanged by the neck until you are dead; and
may the Lord have mercy on your soul.'
He became more violent than he
had ever been during the trial. He
called down upon all opposed to him
Judge, jury, lawyers, and all-the
direct vengeance of God, and fell like
q wild beast upon the guards who
attempted to quiet him, striking and
scratching them with all his might.
He had to be forcibly carried. out of
court. We have no quarrel with the
sentence, but the day set ought to have
been the Cd of July It's being Sunday
would make the deed all the bet
ter.

Thank goodness, the Guiteau trial is
concluded atslast! The remaining act in

of action, and the principal actor will
enter and exit from widely divergent
points. And when the curtain drops,
actors and spectators alike will go
their WAYS gladly.

Our esteemed contemporary, the
Bluff Citizen, Influenced no doubt by
local example and teaching, is inclined
to think that, because we of the Valley
sometimes feel called upon to pray for
less favored neighbors, therefore we do
little else. This is a grave error, and
more downright, earnest work done in
the Arcadia Valley than in any other
section of the State, scope of territory
considered. They who pray do we'll;
they who work, may succeed in tenn
poral affairs; but they who both work
and pray, they are irresistible.

THE GREAT FRAUD STOPPED,
End of the Graveyard Insurance
Business.

The Dauphin county court on
Thursday the 1lth, dissolved almost
the entire number of mutual assessment
insurance companies which were lately
proceeded against by the attorney gen.
eral at the instance of the insurance
commissioners OF the state. The num-
ber which the insurance commissioner
alleges have been found doing business
i'm violation Of their chartered prlvlle-
ges is 2l3, and against all these pro-
ceedings had been INSTITUTED with a
view TO their dissolution. A large
majority of the companies, which made
answer TO the order of the court, re-
Guiring them to show Cause why their
business sheuld not be closed, stated
that they were constrained TO submit
to the revocation of their charters be-
cause the mutual assessment insurance
business has been rendered unprotita-
BILE. Some charge their miSfortunes on
other companies which are claimed to
have done disreputable business. A
bout twenty companies have filed
answers contesting the right OF the
commonwealth To dissolve them on the
allegations made against them. These
will all be. held over until the first
Monday in June befOrefurther proceed
ingS will be instituted. The work or
the day was very quiet, and little or no
interest was manifested in the routine
work of issuing such degrees.
Thus ends one of the greatest frauds
that has ever cursed our good old state.
The credulous public, and unfortu-
nately in most cases, people who could
but lily afford the loss, have been swir-
died out of hundreds of thousands Of
dollars. And that the gigantic hum
bug has even now been throttled, is
due in a great measure to the independ.
ent and fearless voice of the public
press.

How a Wealt by Man Was
Treated by His Wife.

CHICAGO, May 9.-John Newhouse,
wealthy man, disappeared from view
a few years ago, and his death has re-
suited in an investigation. He has
been kept all these years by his wife a
prisoner in an out of-the-way room in
the mansion and denied any clothing
with which to escape and all but
the poorest food. When dying he
was refused pillow to lay his head
upon. Michigan avenue society is ex-
c tied over the developments.
A decision was rendered by the gu
preme court of the u nlted States in the
case of Sergeant John A. Mason, upon
application for writ of habeas corpus.
The court, in carefully prepared opin-
ion by the chief Justice, decided that
the court m artial had full jurisdiction
to try the offense charged; that it's pro-
ceedings were all within its proper jul
risdiction, and that the sentence pro-
nounced was not in excess Of its power.
The petition for a writ of habeas cor
pus is, therefore, denied, and the rule
to Show cause discharged.
The WatSont0aCn Record says that
rich silver Vein.in Buffalo Valley about

The discovery consists OLA vein of sill

assay of from sixty-fiye to one hundred
dollars per ton of silver, besides rich
yield of cop per. The vein, where first
struck, was about four inches in thick
ness, lying within six feet of the sur
face Experts who have examined the pre-
misses declare this to be one Of the most
promising Veins ever discoyered in this
State. Further developments will be
made shortly to test the real merits OF
the find.
