'old, including some of the purchasers, but |
IS that is the rule at all well-regulated auc- |
ions this proved no exception. All the fur
nishings when bought, chairs, carpets, mir
rors, ETC., were of the best and most expen-
i've quality, but the passage of years dimmed
heir splendor and wrought inevitable decay. /

NAMED to make the sale one of unusual inter
'st as the crowded attendance testified.
Relative to the request from North Caro-
ina for clothing, ETC., as mentioned in last
Wednesdays TIMES, we would state that a
etter to that effect has been received from T.

Agricultural, Industrial and Normal school,
which is located under the auspices of the
American Missionary Association in En-
eld, N. c. The ladies' of the Congregational
ociety sent barrel to that school a little
more than year ago, of which Mr.. Inborden
makes grateful mention and writes also that
low the enrolment is twice as great and
therefore, the needs correspondence greater.
