An Indian with the name Esaih, is Tie
latest addition to society at the peniten
tiary> He came in yesterday and is from
Swain county. He gets years, for for
gerry He has been in the big prison be
| fore for shooting a COW in order that he
might get the bell which was on the

novel one.

! He is a bold criminal. He illustrates the
| ancient saying that he who has a wife
has given hostages to fortune" for he
always made his way to where his wife
and children were

speech as Mr. Hatch (whO, by the way
failed to "hatch') could by any means
have made He declared his conviction
2 that North Carolina offers rewards iC
; the educated man second to no part o,
the Union. He urged the students tC
look upon the state with no language o
apology but with we'll founded pride. Il
rests upon the faith and labor of lis sons
"Welcome all immigration with hC>
pitable hearts, but for its development,
said he, I'VE must look to tue sons 0
North Carolina" Today the commence
:, ment exercises proper were held. Th
eight graduates spoke. The trust {
were present. The college is doing goo
work. 1t is young institution and III
! attendance is not nearly so large as
S should be, but it is winning reputation
! not ONLY in this state but outside.
