CAPT. GRINELs' RESIDENCE BURN
RD,-on our recent visit to Matthews
county, we left the boat at North End,
in Middlesex, about o'clock at night,
and, through the kindness of Captain
Grinels, owner of the wharf, his son
and clerk were directed to drive us to
our point of destination, about three
miles distant, a portion of the way
through dense woods. The young
men informed us they were armed,
fearing an attack by negroes, as one or
two of the latter had been recently pep
percd with bird shot while robbing
Captain Grinels' peach orchard, Dis
cussing the matter, we expressed a
doubt of the proprlety Of shooting the
negroes, as Capt. G. owned considera-
bic property that was liable to damage
by revengefgl persons.
Last Wednesday mofnipg the resi-
dence of Capt. Grinels, together with
most of the contents, was burned, and
it is thought the fire was the work OF
an incendiary,
We regret to learn that the fears we
expressed on the occasion referred to
are fully MISUNDERSTANDING

The expectation of money to be spent
by the members of the Grand Army of
the Republic while in Washington far
exceeded the result. Less money was
spent in proportion to the number of
visitors than ever before on such public
occasions. The purchases were as q
rule limited to necessary food, and even
in that the supply was largely in excess
of the demand.

As lingerer he was a success and he
was aided and allotted by the girl.
This, also, the old gent knew, us well
