ADVANTAGES OF LOCATING IN
NORTH CAROLINA.

CLIMATE.-Whlle tho cold is not go Sc
we're, tho temperature of midsummer is moi
excessive or trying as farther North. Oul
seasons are longer, and therefore our crops
are not killed by late or early frosts.
THE SOIL is ofa variety of composition;
--elayey, gravelly lime stone, slate, sandy
loan, etc. This great variety of soils and the
mildness and advantages of climate will ac'
count for the variety of products.
SoCIETY.-No section in the Union has
better executed laws. Tho blessings ofpolit
ieal, civil and religious liberty are no where
more fully protected than in N. q.
IN GENERAL-The great fertility OF
our lands, the mildness Of our climate, free
from the scorching and withering heat of the
South and the extreme cold and freezes oi
the North go to show that North Carolina is
surely the most favored agricultural section
in America. Nature has not only given us
the advantages ofproducng, but it has pro.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 3.-The back part
OF the United States hotel building, stu
ated on Pennsylvania avenue short
distance west of the Capitol fell in with
out warning this evening and buried in
the ruins number of the inmates. The
building has Il frontage of l25 feet on the
avenue and II depth of lS5 feet. The
rear end opening upon an alley, leading
from Third to Fourth and a hall
street. \ small portion of the rear wall
was first to give way and Il
general collapse OF the whole rear
portion Immediately followed, sending
up great clouds of dust. The generai
fire alarm was sounded which brought
to the scene of the disaster number OF
lire engines, the hook and ladder com
panios and force of police.
There We're about forty-five persons in
the hotel at the time the disaster oc
CURED, including guests, employees and
II was impossible AT first to ascertain
how many were buried in the mass OF
debris which occupied the ground upon
which the rear portion OF Lhe building
had stood. Cries and groans could be
heard from the ruins, showing that all
who were there imprisoned We're not
dead. A large force of men went to
work at once and in the course of an hour
Earnest Snooks, n boy, II years of age,
and Annie Dickson, colored chamber
maid, were taken out. Both were alive,
but badly injured. In the meantime
ii had been ascertained that the num-
Der of persons buried in the ruins did
not probably exceed seven, viz:
Mrs. Belden, wife of the proprietor.
Earnest Snooks, boy II years of age,
son of restaurant keeper, next door.
Five colored servants.
1t is feared that those who have not
yet been rescued are dead. The part oi
the building which fell contained chief,
rooms appropriated to the use of the
employees of the hotel, and il is believed
that none of the guests have beer
killed or injured.
The United States Hotel is one of tn,

said to have been for long time in III
unsafe condition. A bar Keeper is re
ported to have made complaint to th,
inspector of buildings some days ag,
with regard to its condition, dangerou,

fell was erected about twenty-five year
ago and was five stories high.
Mrs. Balding, the wife of the proprie

A Colossus OF Coiossi.

NnntInI Enncies.

Marriages take place at all kinds OF
places from caprice, love of notoriety
and sometimes from untoward circum-
stances. Recently a couple were united
in railroad car; the stage coach has
furnished the place where the bridal
VOWS have been spoken; people have
been married on horseback, in towers
and balloons. The writer once partici-
pated in a wedding on the piazza of
summer cottage on one ofthe Thousand
Islands, the moonlight glinting the ma
jestic river that flowed beneath, and
crowning the fair bride with such splen-
dor as the Kings daughters might envy.
Niagara has witnessed the marriage
vows, and behind the bridal veil of Min
nehaha Falls many couple have been
made one.
A Brooklyn minister several years
ago married a couple from his chamber
window, telling them to come round i'm
the morning and sign the necessary pa
pers. The making out of the prelimi-
nary papers, If the clergyman Is man
of tact, Is usually done after the cere-
mony, for not seldom is there marked
hesitancy on the part of the contract
ing parties in answering the fatal ques-
ton of age. Many times have the eyes
of the bridegroom opened wide as the
tally of years counted some half 10
dozen more In the presence of the cler-
gyman than in the prenuptial conf
dences of private conversation, and
though the records are attested as
true, to the best OF the signers
knowledge and belief, yet there have
been occasions in the experience of
every minister when he had been very
certain that by some strange magic at
least half dozen years have dropped
out of the recollection of the antique but
happy bride.
Strange accidents sometimes happen
in the preparation of the certificate.
The writer once spoiled the bridal tour
of young bride BY accidontly copying
the fathers instead of the sons name
from the health board return lying be-
fore him. The bride wasin great alarm,
and ut once on her return she visited
the minister in great distress, saying
"You have married me to the wrong
man." 1t was with no little difficulty
that she was persuaded that new Ger.
tificate would make the old gentleman
her iather-in-law instead of her hus
band Brooklyn Eagle.
