Mr.. Noel, the very first evening, whose at
tention had been called to a deer standing
quite quiet in the edge of the woods, fired
shot with such effect that when we went over
we found it quite dead, perforated to the
heart. To be sure it was a stump that had
been dead for many years, but we thought II
was deer. Nor shall we fail to recount how
our guide stumbled on what he took to be

that was mutual between himself and the
bees came to the conclusion they were vel;

Nor can begin to describe the sanguinary

of which we'll directed shot laid low and

pied less prominent position on the board
than usual. 1850
Not that we indulged in the cruel sport
ourselves, we would here remark that when
two or three hundred trout mass themselves
together in one pool and absolutely refuse to
succumb to the seduction Of any bait, they
can be induced to fulfill their engagements
with the frying pan by means of three hooks
fastened together back to back. With this
weapon dextrously introduced underneath
one and suddenly removed will cause his in.
slant translation. The look of surprise on
the part of the trout is something one will be
quite unable to Danish from his recollection.
In this somewhat lengthy narrative of our
trip l may by some be accused of not adher-
ing strictly to the truth, and in fact 81 have
already heard rumors that if believed would
reflect great discredit upon several undeserv-
ing members of our party, and l thereon
most respectfully protest that while at times
l may be a deviator from the strict line of
genteel comedy truth, a tragic lie can never,
or at least seldom, claim me as its owner.
In conclusion would say that am unable
to finish without referring indirectly to the
hospitality enjoyed by the party at the house
of Mr.. Fred. Rockwell. In particular does
the memory of certain delectable breakfast
remain with us like the memory of joys that
are past, pleasant yet mournful to the soul.
But | am unwilling to make more than an
indirect reference lest it be the means of in
ducing other bands OF rowing hunters to per-
secute them at divers times and seasons.

Now, Mr.. Editor, no country can
prosper that depend on others to do
that which ought to be done by thera-
selves. There is no reason why North
Carolina should not be one of the first
States in the Union. She has the best
climate in the world,-she has the finest
and the greatest variety of timber, and
abound with iron, coal, silver and gold.
and all the useful and valuable metals.
Besides her range of mountains and
sea coast, and abundance of Water DOW

power as the whole of the New England

TO US to put the aharness on and put it
to work-dnd the cotton growing on its
banks crying to be spun, and thousands
OF women and children wanting to be
employed. North Carolina will be
poor az long as she looks West and
North for her supply,-and it would be
a blessing TO her if every car load Of
bacon and hay would fly the track and
be burnt up. The idea Of working all
the year killing grass and come TO town

II our people do not awake out Of sleei

man Will WI a dollar not mortgagel

IS 10 utilize the material ourselves-and
buy nothing that We can make or raise
ourselves. Then We Will prosper and
not before. MECHANIC.

nearly out of bed. Another night he
dreamed he was beset by robbers, and
banged away with an old horse pistol.
tearing down a square yard of wall
plaster. The Nutshell, which gives
these particulars, will no doubt record
the funeral when it occurs.-Mrs.
Spence Taylor. of Pittsboro, was
knocked insensible for several hours by
the falling of a bookcase, the Record
reports.--Abe Harris, of Halifax,
has been sent to prison three times for
chicken stealing. Weldon .Neus saws
while he was in the lookup here a
number of chickens hung around tie
building for sometime, apparently to
ascertain if he were really confined
there. 1t is certainly true that two or
three chickens did occupy the steps for
a few minutes while he was within.n
MIR. Sam Hales, after riding from
Goldsboro to his home. fell out of the
buggy within sight of his gate, and
broke his eck.-The Reriep tells
about a fight between a Pender county
papa, and his daughters sweetheart, to
decide whether the young man should
continue to hang around the premises.
At last accounts the negotiations were
still in progress.

After privately turning aside at lea:

After privately turning aside at least
half a dozen such communications dur
ing the past month or two, it may be
proper to say publicly that, while We
should greatly like to oblige our friends,
and IS. .. L." assuredly, we cannot
print purely personal articles, and es-
p~ecially when directed against other edi-
tors. We have always resented any at
tempt to interfere with our editorial
methods, by other editors; and we always
allow to others what we claim for our
self. 1t is true that some editors act un-
Justly, and refuse the agrieved person a
chance to Set the matter right; but it
would not mend matters tor us to print
articles against those editors. IF we
did so. we should be bound to open our
columns for a reply, aud the controversy
would be as unending as Improbable.

carrying Free Passes. We had it from
their own lips. The same "a to Judge
Ruffin. we think, but cannot say posi-

search the scriptures"
Thou shalt not pass."-Numb. Xxx,

Though they roar yet they cannot
