TNe CHRONICLE wishes for its venerable
rdt0r many more years of usefulness and
success in the profession which he has
houored by industry and truth.
IE PlHLIsHISt last week the list of those
alo wrote letters OF ''congratulation and
u1athy" to DR.. GRIsSOM upon the result
WI the trial we omitted the name Of "HON.
IuHN NICHOLS" 1t was most appropriate
tre Deaf, Dumb and the Blind should ex-
press sympathy" for DR.. GRIssOM. We
have not seen the letter, but suppose that
Mr. NICHOLS confined his expressions OF
sympathy to the third specification IN
rrl RI to the misrepresentation Of supplies
tie had a llttie similar experience on the
me line. "A fellow feeling, 1t Is said,
makes Us wondrous kline" and possibly
-tmpat hetic AZ well.
THo GENTLEMEN in Wake county have
made a solemn agreement that II either OF
am should become crazy the other shall
take a gun and shoot him rather than let
nl 20 to the Raleigh Asylum under its
present management. Another gentleman
say that he would sooner tie his family,
loane to a stake in field than to let
hem 20 to the Asylum. These are the
eEPre.sious of earnest men, and though
very strong and perhaps extravagant, they
-rpreseut the sentiment of nine teDthS OF
tar PEOPLE of the State. Their confidence
.l DIR GRIsSOM is destroyed and so long
.s he is at the head Of the institution many
people Will be afraid to allow their friends
-a 20 there as inmates.

mail, says the Evening Post, "the post
master SAYS he doesn't know whether there
anything for him, but dumps the entire

and invites him to see if there is anything

Customers Of the Black Mountain post
Hi'ce and Increase the warm admiration
