DISTRESSING some means we
neglected to note the account of the
death of Mrs. Capt. T. NJ. Fleming,
daughter of Mr.. Geo. w. Alley, former
ly of Raleigh, now residing in Greens
boro.
The Prhiot tells of another sad affair
IN the same family:
y number Vi boys were engaged 10
shooting al d mark with an air guu. near
Prof. Alderman. residence, Charley
Alley, a brlrh, and promising boy, was
engaged III hxlng the target, while John
Mclean, a youth of IL years, was hold
ing the gun. Turning and seeing the
u pointed towards him, Alley called to
Mclean to holt it up, but hardly had
the words escaped his lips when the
noiseless buiIet pierced his head. lie Tell
ssnseless aud paralyzed. he bullet enter
ed the back Of his head. Young Alley
was taken to Prof. A~lderman's residence,
when Drs. Gregory, Cheek and Hall
were sent for. From the nature OF the
wound 1t was impossible to probe tor
the ball. After a short while he became
conscious and talked freely to his pastor,
Rev. Mr.. Crawford. He has protested
religion during the revival now In prog
ress at the Methodist church. He said
that whatever was best for him lie
would endure. In referring to the acct
dent he said it was best that he was the
victim and not another OF his comrades.
Terrible and sudden as the call he was
prepared to go. A more eloquent SER
mon was never preached by mortal lips
than is furnished by this trying incident.
During the night he was tenderly nursed
and watched. At noon the symptoms
indicated the near approach of death,
the best medical talent standing mute
and helpless IN his dread presence The
whole community is profoundly affected
by the dreadful accident, and deeply
sympathize with the already sorely be
reaved parents.
The deadly air gun that did its CHASTITY
work yesterday has been expressed back
to New York.

Remarkable Change OF "a Boston
womau,S Hair.

Many remarkable tales, says the B ston
Journal, have been told of persons who,
by reason of fright or other causes, have
found that their hair has turned white il
single night. But there is not, we be
lieYe, anywhere TN record a case where a
person went TO bed at night in a calm
state of mind, rested sCund!y until day
light, and awoke in The morning to find
that during sleep his or her hair hid
changed from ebony 10 silver. That is to
say, there never was such case until last
week, when ] ist this sort of an Incident
occurred 10 Boston. The subject was
l'dy, who retired al her usual hour, taking
with her TO her room another and an el-
derly lady, a visitor, who had arrived late
in the day, and for whom NJ other accom-
mediation could be arranged. The sutiect
OF this incident was noted for the fneuess
and beauty of her hair, which was SAID 10y
good judges-peOple who had been abroad
and was acquainted with the appearance
OF raveus-to rival the ravens wing in
blackness and lustre. B-ag blest with a
bNNN 'hnNiNhCNf abh hhNlub thAtu uOlulUR
indigesiible a. supper, the lady slept peace
fully during the night ard awoke refr sh.
ed in the morning.
But on looking toward the mirror che
saw that her hair, instesd of being black.
rs when she went g. bed, was plentifully
sireaked with gay. She spraug up a.,
once 10 assure herself by nearer survey,
and had just bccoTe convinced that her
first view was correct, when az that mo-
ment her elderly wpsBion, who had al
ready dress,d and gone down stairs, en-
tered the room, aud, with the words, 1t
was so dark when | got up that put 90
the wrong switch, replaced upon the bu.
reau black and glossy coil. Crching up
then the gray tresses that had for a NO
ment 80 alarmed the younger lsdy, she
defily arranged them in their appropriate
place and again quietly withdrew.
