Salem county is about furnishing a
colony to settle land in the South. The
Woodstown Register thus speaks Of it:
sSeyeral families about Daretown will
form a little colony to settle oon near
Salisbury, North Carolina. Already
several farms have been purchased.
David ~Snellbaker bought 126 acres
with 3 houses aud 3 barns, located OF
the Danville railroad, 81 miles north
east of Salisbury, for $1,000; in same
vicinity Rev. John w. Tayloy, pastor
of Pittsgroye Baptist church, purchased
70 acres, at $40 per acre; VIM. Grice Is
about purchasing 40 acres there, for u
little over $1,000, Smith Davis and 9TH
ers will go i'll Il few weeks to look at
farms and with the intention of
locating la the western portion of
North Carolina, a healthy mountain
region. Salisbury, the principal town
of that section, has two banks, car
works, tobacco factories, ETC., and u
population numbering about 30o0.
Within an AREA of 10 miles of the place
are six gold mines. j.. ID. Stewart, a
gentleman engaged in mining there,
employs % miners, and by use of steam
machinery is able 10 get out and ship
daily to New York about $1,000 worth
of gold. Rev. j. w. Taylor and Dan
iel Snellbaker have lately returned
from a visit to Salisbury and vicinity.
They speak very enthusiastically ofthe
prospec is for farmers in that PORTION Of
the South. The latter informs us that
farming operations by the natives is
carried on in the erudest way. They
use no harrows in putting in their
wheat, but have a species of shovel
plough in use. With " II this rough
system of farming they get from the
better lands found Salisbury about %
bushels of wheat from an acre Tobac
co is raised extea sively, and cotton is a
stan dar | crop. On the farm puIchasel
by friend Suellbaker's father, there is
this season a 12-aere fed in cotton,
and the GRO, promises to pay very well.
Fare on the railroads from Daretown
to Salisbury is $3.50.

Never in our life did we ever spe a
correspondent harder to suit than
"Drip." Some time ago we spoke OF
the erection of a house ON the street
leading from the Albany Beef establish
ment and called it Sturgeon avenue, as
we had heard it called before, and
drip came forth and said that the
citizens heard of sturgeon enough with
out having a street 10y that "handle.'
Last week We again spoke of that
street, and rs we were about to say
Sturgeon avenue, we thought about
what drip said, and so we called il
"Drip" street. Now lie comes forth
and says:
@'Drip street is a good namie-very
aood-altogether too good. Change,
-, change"
Sturgeon venue was not good enough
and "Drip" street is altogether too
good. Hard to suit? why we should
think he a Perhaps a street with a
''y'' at the emf would suit Drip
''Sing me some melodious measure"
DO you see any harmony i'll that?
Somebody name the street.

The new Detective Corps was ably rep
resented at the circus grounds yesterday,
and number of policemen were also de-
tailed there.
The order preserved was much better
than on previous occasions, and a few ar
rests OF suspicious persons were made.
Thomas Mahoney aud Joseph Thomas, the
former white and the latter colored, were
arrested for acting suspiciously together at
the ticket wagon. Mahoney was thought
to be trying to pick pockets, and Thomas
was pressing in among the
crowd and attempting to distract
attention from Mahoney's actions. At the
station-house Mahoney was found to be
carrying revolver, and Judge Smell to-day
gave him thirty days for being a suspicious
character and ninety days for carrying the
weapon. Thomas was given ninety days
for the same offense.
John Samon, Baltimore fancy-goods
merchant, who followed the circus to this
city to speculate in tickets was arrested as
a suspicious character, for attempting to sell

admission this year. Mr.. Sanon accounted
for his possession of the ticket, and testified
that he believed it to be good. The ease

ga number OF others participated in the gen.

toward all those who had aided In annulling
the efforts OF those who would have q conven-
tion. Although the presiding oflicer had de-
cided such matter extraneous and not ger
name 10 the subject OF the paper, the speaker
vehemently attacked the essaylst for the part
he took in knocking the bottom out of their
proposed convention, and, growing fiery, he
advanced toward Professor Greeuer with
clenched .nsts, saying that Greener himself
had been kicked out of oflce. From Mr..
Hollands advancing position and menacing
attitude, the audience began to hiss the ap-
parent belligerent; but, failing TO restore
quiet, stampede set In, and the meeting dts
banded in confusion"

my position III order 10 be hetter heard, and
that had not the remotest idea of making q
physical attack on Professor Greener.
The published interview OF Professor g. re-
ferred TO in your paper was an attack on the
callors of the Colored National Convention,

motives.
