Cane Presentation.

A very pleasant little incident worthy of
note transpired at the armory of the Vance
Guards Tuesday night. AS token of their
appreciation of the services rendered the
company by Col. Erasmus Taylor as ca
terer for them while encamped at Wrights-
Vile, a handsome gold headed cane, cost
ing $50, was given him by the boys"
The cane has this inscription on it: From
the Vance Guards, to Col. Erasmus Tay-
Tor, July 2sth. 1855" The presentation
speech was made by Capt. Daingerfeld in
very happy manner, who said:
You have been invited TO meet rs this
evening Col. Taylor, in order that we
might make some formal acknowledgment
of our appreciation Of your kind and effi-
cieut services rendered during our recent
visit to Wrightsvilie. That we were bet
ter provided for than any other company

ourselves. but was matter OF special conf

A GOOD REcoRD-The Durham Tobacco
Plant speaks of the clean record Mr.. John
l.. Kirkland, mailing clerk in the postoifice
there, made for the month of July, having
received report from the Department GER
tifylng that no errors are charged against
him for the month. This means that every
one of the thousands of letters mailed from
the Durham postoffice in July started right.
That is very good, Brother Burkhead, and
your city is to be congratulated upon hav-
ing such a careful and painstaking official,
to be sure, but We can beat that. Master
Badger Burroughs, mailing clerk in the
Henderson pOstOffice, has had only one
error charged against him in three months,
and only two since the first of April.
Badger is a bright aud intelligent boy and
the GOLD LEAF takes pleasure in bearing
this testimony to his efficiency and the
painstaking and careful manner in which
he discharges his onerous and responsible
duties.

A PLEASANT LITTLE 1scfDEsr-At the

A PLEASANT LITTLE IScIDExT-At the
Charch Sunday night. Rev. j. d. Arnold,
the pastor, made some remarks about The
narrow escape of the church fren burning
on the night of the fire last week. lie
spoke of the trouble and anxiety and ex-
pense that have been undergone to get the
house as nearly completed as it is, and
then told how he felt when he saw the
great danger 1t was in of being burned
down to the ground. The steeple caught
on fire several times, and but for the timely
aid of several persons the new Methodist
Church would have shared the fate of
Walkers factory and the other buildings
that were burned. One of the persons who
saving the church was Mr.. James 4. Lad
ington, who went up in the tower with a
hatcnet and cut out the lattice work where
it caught fire until he could get water ~
there by means of rope. Mr.. Arnold al
luded in fitting terms TO such gallant con
duct and said he desired to show in some
tangible manner, the appreciation that ht
and the members Of his congregation fel
for it SO saying, he asked Mr.. Ludingtol
to step forward, and after assuring him q
their regard and esteem, asked him TO &C
cept as slight testimonial of their grateful
appreciation and acknowledgment of thu
valuable and timely service lie had rem
dered at the time and manner already ex
planned, handsome gold lined silver cul
and saucer, of exquisite pattern.
The gift was, of course, highly appre
ciated by Mr. Ludington, who felt that h
had done nothing worthy of special motto
, or comment, and so completely was h
, taken by surprise that he was unable to d
. more than bow his grateful thanks.

MURDER IN GRANVILLE COUNTY.-An-
other murder has been added to the list of
crimes in Granville county, and this time
it is by white people, and sad to relate one
Of the principals is a woman. The partic-
ulars as we get them are these: Henry
Adcock had become enamored of his brother
Johns wife, notwithstanding he had a
wife of his own. The brothers, who lived
only a short distance from each other, in
the upper part of Granville, have had sew
eral fights about the matter lately, but
uenrys wife appeared to be more in the
way than any one else. To removt her,
Henry and Jennie G. Adcock, Johns wife,
it is alleged, gave her dose of strych-
nine July 31st, from the effects of which
she died. From certain peculiar circum-
stances surrounding the case there was
suspicion of foul play, and coronor's in
! quest developed facts, together with adj
missions of the accused parties, which war
ranted their arrest and confinement in Jail.
Henry Adcock is said to be about 10 years
! old and the father of eight children.
