the people Of North Carolina that the

EARPSBORO, NASH Co., N. {.
This little Borough is situated on the
Wilson and Raleigh road, about p miles
from Wilson, and "a miles from Raleigh.
1t has two gins, n saw mill, flour and
corn mill, and an old Methodist church
that has stood the storms for years, but
l don't think it will stand many more.
This little borough is surrounded by the
most energetic farmers in the country.
There is a male and female academy
within a mile of town.
If Earpsboro had a railroad, pro-
badly it might become a little town.
Crops are looking well. Some of the
farmers around Earpsboro are going to
try tobacco this year.
Mr.. Editor, IF you ever wish to visit
Earpsboro, just put on your specs
and come down, you will have to look
close or you will pass through it. a
gentleman stopped in the heart Oft the
other day and asked how far to town.

New YORK CRY. Nav 20th

ACAN ~ -Aay I'm"
The world awoke here this morning to
be astonished and gratitied at a telegram
from Raleigh in the New York Times tell
Ing how snake bites and the like can be
cured by Capt. Shotwell's MAIDSTONE"
Half a dozen people have dropped into
The Chronicle Office here to-day to ask
about North Carolina snake bites and the
cure.
The thing promises to create a genuine
sensation. "Will it cure Grant," one
fellow inquired. now have a smooth
piece OF cobble-stone labeled IN. G. mad
stone, on the mantle piece, aud the next
fellow that comes in and asks questions
shall be subjected to treatment if Rave
the physical power to administer it. But
seriously, do tell me or send me a paper
that tells what in the name OF thunder
this thing is. Is it the buckeye that Mr..
+. NJ. Hale wears in his pocket as a charm
against witches? l. it any part of the
brass-button glory of the Lieutenant-Col.
onel of Ordnance of the u. S. Home
Guard and of night dispatches? The
boys Of the Produce Exchange here
will begin to order them through Ma. G..
f. Smith, if a good supply can be had
and Mr.. Orrin Thomas may yet find il
profitable to paint a n. G. maidstone and
exhibit the picture in the art galleries.
Correspondence Of State Chronicle.
ANSWER TO II ABOVE A young
man named Littles, son of Mr.. William
Llttles, of this county, came to the city
yesterday in search of Buffers mad stone.
He had been bitten severely in one of his
legs by a mad dog, and the stone was
promptly furnished by Mr.. Butler. On
the first application the stone adhered to
the wound and held fast for the space of
two hours, when its pores became filled
with the poison absorbed, and it fell off.
The stone was then cleaned by boiling in
milk, and again applied to the wound,
when 1t adhered for the space of half an
hour, the test was witnessed by a doctor
and several citizens, and they were in
cllned to faith in the maidstone cure.
Young man Littles expressed himself sat
isfied that the maidstone has saved him.
