A Remarkable Incident.

james Southgate in Richmond Christian A vo
cate.
In the year 1868 resided In the
village Of Olln, N. g., where I kept
school in large college builditg oI
brick, known as the Ulin High School
The county road ran near the building
on ono side, and just on the edge oi
the road stood post oak tree which
bore small acrons, which are very
much sought tor by quails. The els
ter OF my wife, then Mrs. Baker, was
quite ill. She had suffered with fever
for many days, and the physician rec.
ON mended a very delicate soup. and
thought that bird, If one could be
had, would be the best to season the
soup. It was Sunday morning, and
while I did not wish to violate the
Sabbath, yet thought the oireum.
stances justified me in taking a gun to
the adjoining woods to see if could
find a bird, which intended to shoe,
for this sick lady. I went to the
house of Mr.. Gill, beyond the college
building, but in sight OF the post oak
tree mentioned above. There was q
covey of quail which used in skirt Of
woods just below the hill upon which
we were standing and talking. I bad
gone to his house to borrow gun and
ask If he thought, it was sinful to shoot
q bird under the circumstances on the
Sabbath. He said, NO." and, as he
was turning to go to the house for his
gun, we heard huttering of birds
from that tree and 10 seems that this
covey OF birds that used down the hill
in the meadow had come up during
the quiet OF the Sunday morning and
flown Into this tree for the purpose OF
getting the acorns. A hawk at this
moment espied the birds in the tree
and was swooping down towards them
This frightened the birds and they flew
In their confusion In every direction.
One struck against the side OF this
brick building and fell to the ground
dead. Another few into the college
chapel and struck against the glass
window back of the pulpit and fell to
the floor. A third flew some distance
to my own home, struck against the
chimney, and fell so that from that
flock of birds I gathered three without
firing a gun. Was this accidental,
proyidential, or q mere incident that
might have occurred under other cir
cumstances? I leave the reader tc

That was most welcome news sent
out by the correspondent to the Raj
eigh Post few days ago from War
renton, that Criminal court tor War
een county was opened and closed the
same day for lack of business. The
correspondent said, "The Jail doors are
vide open and have been tor several
weeks"
When it is remembered that the
lispensary system for handling liquor
Is in operation in Warrenton, the sig
nificance is such as to commend the
matter to the serious consideration of
the people. Say what you may about
temperance folks being cranks and
fanatics, the statistics are in their favor
when it comes to comparing crime and
criminals with the open-door saloon
system.
The country had hoped that the
troubles with the coal strikers OF Penn
,ylvania were over. Recent reports,
however, indicate that there is strong
probability OF another general strike
amongst the miners next April. 1t
will be remembered that the ADJUST
ment of the troubles between the
miners and their employers a few
months ago, was to hold good only un-
til next April. 1t is said that many
Of the miners who had not done so be-
fore have Joined the Union since the
recent adjustment of matters between
the strikers and their employers; and
i. looks like the miners may be pre-
pairing to open another big strike In
April, sure enough.
There can come no good to the
country from violent strikes OF any
kind. They are source OF great
trouble, suffering, hardshlps, and often
times bloodshed. There Is no reason
why employer and employe should not
be able always to arrive ut such under'
standing and maintain such relation af
will inure to the advantage, beneh'
and prosperity of both. In most cases
of serious disagreement some one Is te
blame on both sides.

It is gratifying to see stated In the
papers that in some parts of the State
where wheat has not been raised very
extensively larger quantities have been
planted this fall. This ia as it should
be for whatever may be the price OF
tobacco and cotton, farmers make q
great mistake in falling to raise all of
their supplies at home. A lew acres
of wheat planted in properly prepared
land will make enough for the family
every time, one year with another.
Farmers can have regard to nothing
that will be of more significance to
them.
