A PITIt UL CASE.

RALEIGH. n. c., Nov. 26.-Robert
Lesson Porter, the strange Irishman,
whose pitiful case created SO much
talk here and all over the country
last summer, has again made his
escape. 1t will be remembered that
he was in Jail here for weeks, it being
suspected that he was Scott Partin,
the wife murderer After his release
from Jail Porter fed from the house
of Mr.. John Les, an Irsihman here,
who gave him shelter He was found
near Weldon and brought back, it
being then discovered that he was of
a good family in Ireland. He was
quiet for a while, but now he has gone
again, this time from Lees house.
He got away at night. 1t is believed
be has gone to Norfolk. Va. A draft
for 920 ON the Bank of England has
just arrived here Mr.. Lee wishes
information about Porter. The case
is very pitiful one. Porter is Of
unsound mind. His Irish relatives
are very anxious to get him home.

During December

may be looked for During December
and January the mercury will f. equent-
ly be below zero, probably remain :ng
there for days, and if there should be a
low stage of water in the river tereh
will be danger of a freeze over.
For February short storm perio DIS
run all along the bone, and the general
character of the month will be stormy
and clustering, with some very cold
days at the first of the month and again
at the close. These severe spells and
continued cold weather will keep the
ice and the snow in the mountains, and
the first spring mouth will be as hoary
as old winter AS the bone ends very
dark, it is very probable that March
will be repetition of November. In
that case the farmers will find it very
difficult to break ground, and all kinds
of vegetation will be late in getting a
start. It will not be safe to put things
in the ground too soon, as such win
ter will be likely to be followed by
killing frosts far into April. The
writer remembers to have seen only one
other bone to compare with the one this
year, and that season there were frosts
as late as May.

IN UNION THERE IS STRENGTH.
[Gold Leaf.1

Nothing is more essential in the
building up of community than united
effort. In union there is strength, and
by all working together much more
can be accomplished than can be done
by one man. AS the Churuhusco,
Indiana, Sunday People says, lone of
the greatest requisites of highly pros
porous town is unity. No town can he
truly prosperous whose citizens are not
united on matters affecting its growth
and prosperity. There must he CO.
operation, pulling together of all, for
the public good. Individual enterprise
is necessary, but there must be public
spirit along with it-a desire to help
others while you are beneftting your
self. We are sure that every citizen
desires to see his own town making
rapid strides in the line of progress,
but many seem to forget that this can
only be done by working together with
one accord. Nothing more quickly
stays the advance of place than to
have few influential citizens contin-
ually pulling in the opposite direction
from the others. 1t is absolutely nee
essary that the wheels of progress be
thoroughly rubbed with the oil of har-
mony to keep them running along
smoothly without breaks or jars. Let
all hindrance be cast aside and let the
people of the town labor on diligently,
harmoniously and hopefully; you will
soon find that all things work like a
charm"
