Crous Injured by Frost.-we learn

Crops Injured by FrOst.-We learn
from an exchange that on Thursday night Of
last week one of the most destructive early
frost visited various parts Of New England
and hundreds of farmers are mourning the
loss of valuable crops, such as cucumbers, to-
uatoes, squash and corn. in some places
the grape crop is injured seriously The loss
is large in many instances, as some of the far
mers' best paving crops are ruined. Reports
from points in Northern New England indi-
cate enormous damage to vines and crops
from the frost, and the loss to farmers will
reach MANY thousand dollars. 1t will have a
serious effect on the canning establishments
in that section 1t is the custom for the can
ners to engage their crops IN the spring, ard
contract the aH canning season, to lie deliv-
cred at certain times The reports from vari-
GUS section where contracts have been made
show that the damage to corn, tomatoes and
squash has been very heavy, and will cause
serious inconvenience to the Gamers.

AS TO CRIME NORTH CAR
OEINA

Referring to the fact that the Gov
ernOr Of the State has offered rewards
for the capture of four murderers ttheir
crimes being committed within the
past six or eig:lt months) the Green's
Doro PahI0t says on the subject:
The press of North Carolina, doubt
less with the best OF motives, is, by a
large majority Of the newspapers pub
lished, unqualified in the expression of
opinion that crime IS decreasing; and,
compared with the condition Of af-
fairs twenty years ago, and with what
would be the state ofdisorder and law
lQssness should the political party of
1868 again assume control ofthe State
and county governments, this is un-
dOubtedly true. But crime is not di-
minishing as it should diminish during
period Of profound peace. The cal
lousness and indifference to human
life, growing out offour years Of bloody
warfare, still makes possible too much
OF murder and manslaughtcr with the
turbulent elements Of society; the
whipping post abolished, the peniten-
tiary has no terrors for the thief, and
larceny is rampant throughout the
land. One revolving and nameless
crime has become SO common that the
grim, masked crowd of avengers, with
a moment for the doomed wretCh's
confession and prayer, visit swift retri
button upon the ofense.

Constant thanksgiving and gratitude are

God for his goodness and mercy which
have followed them since the day He made
them a nation and youchsated to them
free government. With loving kindness
He has constantly led us i'll the way of

toll of th3 huSbandman during the year
that has passed, and for the rich rewards
that have followed the labOrS OF our peO-
pie in their shops and their mats Of trade

THE HAND OF AFFLICTION.

The press throughout the State will
sympathize sincerely with Major
VIM. \. Hearne who recently became
chief editorial writer of the Winning
ton Messenger, who has lately been
grevously afflicted in the death and
serious illness of members Of his fam
lily. Maj Hearne is we'll known all
over the State as a gentleman of Cul
ture and ability, vigorous and torci-
bic writer, whose return to editorial
work we gladly hail. Abiding to the
difficulties under which he has had to
labor since assuming the position on
the Messenger, he says:
The writer in these columns, during
the entire period CT his incumbency,
of six weeks, has been grievously af-
hiCted.
The hand of death has been laid
upon one very near to him, and severe
illness, nigh unto death, is yet upon
an absent one, still nearer and dearer.
Nothing but the highest sense OF
duty to the newly assumed obligations
of this position could have detained
him here a week.
Fer any shortcomings made mani
fest he does not deem it necessary to
appeal to the public for its generous
consideration. And knowing this
people whose interests he has served,
off and on, for more than twenty years
one way and another, ne feels that a
mere knowledge of his personal affiic-
ton is sufficient to disarm criticism.
