To write cashdown prescriptions as the bliss

But striking out ut midnight, when the win

SEoW tH North Carolina.

A despatch from Wadesboro, N, c.,
saye a fall of snow in that neigh Dor,
hood, which lasted fo, q quarter of an
hour, was unprecedented as to the
amount deposited on the earth. The
weather is very cold, and there is a
general dread that the cotton crop will
be greatly damaged. This is not only
the opinion of experienced planters in
that immediate neighborhood, but the
dread extends for miles on every hand,
the weather being unusually cold for
the season. Should it continue tor any
length of time, the damage will in
crease from day to day.

Elctamizeu Out OF $50, 900.

A remarkable suit was begun at Paw
Paw, Michigan, on Monday, when b.
A. Oluey, the wealthiest mau in Van
Buren county, filed bill in chancery
to restrain Jane Aun Manley, of Hart
ford, in the same county, from collect
ing or dispOsing of note for $40, 900,
given by Olney and held by her. While
visiting her at her bouse in December
last, he AYERS that she removed FROM a
basket nearly $4,000, in money, notes
and mortgages, which h8 had therein,
filling tho basket with chips. He did
not discover his loss until the next
day, when he demanded the retcrn Of
the missing money, which she refused,
but on the contrary she threatened to
destroy it unless he gave her 10000.
To recover the securities he yielded to
the demand, and NV asks to be- re-
lieved, alleging duress.

GOOD for st. Georges.

Yesterday Mrs. John Robinson,
near St. Georges, left at our office a
couple of hen eggs which for size beats
anything we have seen for some time
in the hen fruit line The oggs are a
straw color and look as if they ought to
be very rich. The two are the same
size, weigh two ounces, measure w
inches one way and the other. They
are monstrous eggs and we doubt II
they can be easily beaten.

In the modern arrangements of
society, it is no uncommon thing that
man or an enterprise which chooses
as a life work the bettering of his
kind, will TASK for bread and receive a
stone"
The inventor of the needle gun or
the builder of a railroad is pretty
sure of his reward at no distant day !;
but he who devotes his energies to
persuading his fellows to abandon
vice and cultivate the good and the
beautiful in life, is seldom appreci-
ated until he is past eating bread. |
am thoroughly convinced that an
organ for our race in Kansas is abso-
lutely indispensable, and the greatest
need of the race to-day. consists not
so much in the ordinary necessities
of life as in the right training of the
head and heart. Nine-tenths of read
ing men and women get their inspi
ration, their sentiment and their be-
lefs, from the literature they read
newspapers are the literature of a
large and increasing class. How i'm
portant then is it that these be good
and instructive. The PATRIOT pro-
poses for its special object the better
ment of the colored race in America,
educationally, morally, reIgiously,
financially and politically.
Will you not help the enterprise
by subscribing and remitting with
out delay? Truly,

compromise. These ttcO men hare
become factional candidates,
The interests Of the people de-
mand, and common sense dictates
the selection Of a candidate upon
whom these elements can unite and
IN whose hands the cause Of prohibi-

interests subserved. Tile question Of
the hour is Who that mar shall BE-?

Among other papers which have
unqualifedly endorsed our candidate
we are pleased to note Judge Clar-
dy's, The Kansas Agrculturalist. It

B. Jetmore. The Col. is not can
didate but if ST. John be not NOM
mated doubtless would accept, and
if SO, would poll The full party vote.
The Colored Patriot in speaking of
the contest says: IF it should be-
come necessary to take up a man
who can unite both factions, we de
sire to suggest the name Of Col. A
B. Jetmore. We believe him to be
the most available candidate in the

The jeanette has gone to pieces and
De Long and most of his ollowers have
persisted. Is it not about time to fig

many noble men have been sacrifc d
in the search after the North pole and
what are We going to do with it after
We find j.? At that extremity of the
earth; vegetables, like other things,are
of course stunted. SO We cant be ex-
pecting any better liberty pole than
we have already. 1t is true they have
found few islands but they are un-
fit for habitation and besides we are
not in esp .cial need of room here IN

In making a choice of a candidate
for any Office, it is the duty of all
who desire to perpetuate republican
principles and a proper respect for
the law. that they should lay aside
I'LL factional spirit and come with
the noble purpose t0 10 Fhaa which
reasor dictates, il for the best inter
est Of Hi concerned Only such as
can approach this great question
with such convictions can
be regarded as truly pa
triotic. Unfortunately many
otherwise good and true men have
allowed personal preference to domi-
nate every other consideration thus
far in this gubernatorial contest.
This will not do. This widening
breech cannot but work the party
great injury. We do not
think this was intended by
the frief ds OF either Gov. St.
John or Captain Johnson, but it
takes scarcely a modicum of politi-
cal wisdom to see this to be
the effect. There are two essen
tial elements which must be found
in every candidate for po-
litical honors. The citizen chosen
to bear our standards must command
the unqualified respect and be able
to pole the full vote Of his party.
1t either Of these elements are lack
ing We are unprepared to hazard
battle.
Now how stands the case with the
two most prominent candidates?
Unprejudiced observation indicates
that neither Of these gentlemen can
fill the the requirements when meas
uerd by this rule.
Gov. S.. John occupies OH the one
hand 50 extreme position on the
temperance question that We cannot
reasonably hone to reconcile large
