"LOOKING BACKWARD" RAJ
SIXrY-FIV YEARS AGO.
Especial Cor. STATE CHRONICLE

Many-not less than two-attempts
have been made By historians to write
up the past as well as the present of Ral-
eigh. Neither history has entered into
the small PARTICULARS, which, while
not important, still 60 to make true
history Of our city. At the risk of being
.'set dGwno as an old man, | propose to
relate some facts not known but by few
now living il our midst.
Speaking of tan yards. John Rex was
not the only man who carried on tan
yard il our city. John J. Christol hers,
recently deceased, had one on the prem
ises now occupied by Mr.. Tonnofski as a
smoking tobacco factory. | often visit
ed it.
Back in the early thirties, We had two
hat manufactures in this city-one car
ried on by old man Brown the grand
father Of the venerable William Brown,
Vstor-and Mr.. Neal Brown, the father
of Mr.. Wm. Brown, also carried on the
same business.
Roger Fitch, an eccentric old bache-
lor, also carried on hat factory.
These gentlemen used wool, as well as
fur, in making hats. The Messrs.
Brown were experts in the business. and
made fur hats for ladies' wear
Something has already been said about
Raleigh water works, in ANTI BELLUN
times is true-it started from the
valley portion of the land donated te
Raleigh by John Rex for hospital.
Tn that yallaV near SOrinO the Raj
eigh Blues met annually for target prac
tice. rhe water names for the Ralelgt
Water Works, made of wood, large pine
logs, were to be seen there.
SO, then, the public spirit-spirit O
| improvement-wa alive in our city
when our population numbered abou
1900 souls.
There are other small historical fact!
which propose to speak of at another

Have Stopped All Kinds of Agricultu-
raj Work

PIGEON RIVER, n G. March 19.-Ag-
riculture Is receiving black eye from
the recent floods in this section. The
almost constant rains since the first Of
December have rendered all prepara-
tlons for the ensuing season impossible.
Not a grain Of cats have been planted,
not furrOw run for corn, no garden
work done at all and great deal of
fencing to be made and repaired before
crops can be set. The ground has been
In such condition that tobacco seeds
have not been sown, and very little of
the weed will fud its way to the markets
this year. There is large per cent. of
last years tobacco crop yet unsold. and
prices received from what has been sold
have been very low, owing to the mould
ed and otherwise damaged condition of
the tobacco from the wet weather.
The Murphy division Of the Richmond
and Danville railroad has sustained
leavy losses in consequence of the floods,
almost every bridge and trestle of conse-
quencej from Waynesyille to Murphy
having been washed out, besides a good
many deep cuts being almost filled with
sides, to say nothing Of the many minor
/ damages. Trains run only between
AshevIde and Balsam, but it is expected
that they will get to Bryson City in a
| few days. 1t is estimated that trains
vii not run through before the last oi
| April, even if the weather should permit
the work of repairing to 60 on. The
company is making every effort to get
the road in order at the earliest day
| possible.
Should the rain stop At an early period
very good corn crops can yet be made
the seasons being later in this country
than below the mountain; but oats anC
tobacco with both likely prove failures
entirely.
The prospects for general fruit eroE
are good, the buds having been KEEP
back by the cold, which, however, has
not been very severe.
Peaches have not yet bloomed, anc
apples, pears and plumbs are not bud
ding yet.
TIE fruit prospects lends encourage
ment to the farmers as this is a money &c
crop, this being the best fruit-raisine
region IN the country.

Fire broke out in the Barner wa,o

ID one OF the rooms on the second sto,v
front, used as sleeping apartment for
farmers. This room and The hall ha,ou
were left open as usual SO that customars
OF the house, coming to town at anr
hour OF the night, could find place -
sleep. No farmers stayed there las
night, and the supposition is that soma
homeless characters about the city went
up there, accidently set the building on
fire and then decamped.
The alarm brought large crowd. and
everybody, white and colored, did hard
work. If Oxford had waterworks tho
fire could easily have been put out in
five minutes. All the people could do
was to cary water in buckets from
neighboring wells, and they did this
with hearty good will.
The warehouse proper is divided from
the offices and sleeping rooms by a brick
wall, broken by door and three win
dows. Men took position at these open.

the flames from spreading to the main
portion of the building. Other men cot
on top of the Markham building adjoin-
ing, and managed to save it after long
and arduouous fight. The front portion
of the Banner Warehouse was com.
pletely Quilted.
The fire was slow, confined as it was
within brick walls and tin roof. It was
| about four hours consuming the floors
and door and window frames, all it had
to feed upon. There was very little
wind stirring.
J. W. Markham removed his stock OF

The admiralty has ordered an inquiry
into the sinking of the emigrant steam
ship Utopia at Gibralter, owing to col
lision with the British ironclads Arson
and Rodney. 1T is rumored that the
ironclads were not altogether without
blame, having been anchored in a place
unusual for men of war at that station.
All agree, however, that the British
crews acted in a gallant manner after
the accident.
