Gold In York County.

YoRKvILLE. 8. c., January 17.-Yes.
terday morning two capitalists, Colonel
Rudge aud Mr.. Samuel J. Beal. of Bal
:;uore, were examining gold mine in
the upper part Of this county with q
view Of purchasing ii, when they were
approached by an old negro man who had
lived near the place for upward of fifty
years. The old darkey, Pompey Roy.
nolds by name, told Colonel Rudge that
he had specimens of gold at his house
which he he'd dug out the mine, and in.
vited the two gentlemen and Mr.. Arm.
strong, the owner of the mine, to accom-.
pany him to his hut. Upon reaching
the old mans abode they were shown
some remarkably valuable specimens OF
gold ore. One nugget weighed over
twenty poundo, and was found when as
sayed to give 68 per cent. of pure gold.
Another piece contained over FIVE pounds
of the precious metal, while another
yielded three pounds. Old Pompey did
not appreciate the full value of his col
lection. and offered to sell it for fifty dol
lara. Colonel Rudge, however, declared
he would .iot impose upon the negro's
ignorance, and gave him five hundred
dollars cash for the specimens. A
thorough examination was made of the
niue and bargain was made whereby
the two Baltimore capitalists and Mr..
Armstrong are to own and operate the
mine jointly. 1t 10 to be called LILLY
Langtry." From present indications it
will prove one of the most valuable minea
in the South. The mine is near the
North Carolina line; in fact part of the
property is in that State. Mr.. Armstrong,
in company with his two partners. hsr
gone TO Baltimore, carrying nearly hall
q ton of rock. Mr.. Armstrong, who ia
an Englishman and resident of Rich
mond, came to this country only q few
months ago. He bought the valuable
property for less than one thousand dol.
lars. He declares that he would not sell
it now for hundred thousand. Messrs
Beal & Rudge are wild over the golden
prospects.

ALABAS
a Superior Substitute
for Ka1somine, etc.

Alabastine Is the first and only preparation
made from calcined gypsum rock, for appli-
cation to walls with brush, and is fully COW
cred by patents and perfected by many years
OF experiments. 1t is the only permanent
wall finish, and admits Of applying as many
coats as desired, one over another, to any
hard surface, without danger OF scaling or
noticeably adding to\the thickness OF the
wall, which is strengthened and improved by
each additional coat from time to time. 1t
Is the only material for the purpose not de-
pendent upon glue for its adhesiveness.
Alabastine is hardened on the wall by age,
moisture, etc., while all kalsomines or whit
enmg preparations have inert soft chalks
and glue for their base, which are rendered
soft or scaled in a very short time.
In addition to the above advantages,
Alabastine is less expensive, as it requires
but one-haf the number of pounds to cover
the same amount Of surface with two coats,
is ready for use by adding water, and easily
