The Bodies of Three 31 en Foand with Ballet Holes Tnroaali Themi I Charlotte Observer.

A story of singular horror comes to us from Wilkes county, a story which would be hardly credible if it, had come through a Icbs reliable man than Mr. Thos. Denny, a former citizen of Wilkes, but now a resident -of 1 the southern part of this county. Mr. Denny, returning from a visit 5 to! his old home, was in the city yester day, and reports that a few days ago, in the lower edge of.

Wilkes county, near the Yadkin line a section of the county which is sparsely populated and almost entirely out of communication the outside world there were found the bodies of three men named Speaks, Mitchell and Johnston, the bodies pierced with balls and entirely lifeless. The bodies of Speaks and Johnston were found lying close together; the body of Slitchell was about a mile distant from those of the others. The discovery occasioned great consternation in the community, and the prevailing belief is that the men were murdered by revenue othcers, though as far as is learned suspicion points to no particular persons. A Corn Raleigh Observer. On the banks of the Nense, in New Light township, this county, there is growing a stalk of corn not yet matured, the truthful and exact proportions of which we are afraid to mention for fear that our reputation for truth might be questioned, and that you know would hurt our feelings.

will not state the height of the corn stalk as it now Btands or its circumference at the base, but there are six ears of corn qilking out on the stalk and it is eleven feet (measured) to the first ear. beth Jones and, Har vey Wray saw a gentleman by ike name of Allen, whose weight is 225 pounds, climb five feet up the stalk, and it stood as unbending and unyielding as the sturdiest oak in the forest, lhe blades of fodder from this stalk average 9 3-4 feet in length and 8 inches in breadth. The stalk has not yet tasseled, in. fact is just getting in good order to grow well, and when it fully matures we will give its full dimensions under the affidavit of its owner. Spirits Turpentine.

Sergeant Forrest and Officer Edward Davis, of the police, who were not far off, heard the cry and hurried Jn the direction of the sound. Arrived at the house, they found that quite a crowd had gathered there in advance of them.

It apn peared from the statement of the lady eH the house that her husband, a man by the name of Hedgepeth, had got enraged about something, and attempted to make) an as sault upon herself and daughter with an axe. They fled through the house, pursued by the infuriated husband and father, and finally took refuge in a room and fastened the door, but this barrier, however, was quickly' removed, Hedgepeth bursting the door openivvith his axe; but, luckily, just at this moment, the cries of the badly fright ened women brought some of the neighbors to the jrescuc, and the man was disarmed. Hedgepeth was taken into custody by Offi cer Davis, under instructions from Ser geant Forrest, and conveyed to the guard house, the wife of the prisoner requesting the officers "for God's sake not to let her husband but that night, for if they did he would kill herself and daughter." Hedgepeth is quite an old man, his. age being stated to the officers as 72 years, and he also Btates that he is in the employment of one of the railroads as a fireman. He was not intoxicated, and claims that the statements in relation to the affair have been exaggerated.

He will probably have a-hearing before Acting Mayor Flanner this morning. Struck by Lightning.

Mrs. C. P. S. writes to Raleigh Observer: "A late perusal of soma essays by Dr.

Grissom, relative to the objects of mscaro uieir proper treatment, a very interesting discussion of tho narrow bounds that divide the brightest genius irom tne gloom or madness, had prepared some of us to hear from him on the occa sion, a Bcholarl and spirited effort. Nor were we disappointed. Something touching bis office, some sad sense of a common interest in what he knows and can tell of the awful secrets of the human mind o'er-thrown, drew together an unusually large audience on Saturday night. And thev hoard an unusually fine address." The same accomplished ladv thus refers to Judge Kerr's address: "In our report of Judge Kerr's address last week, necessarily nuriica ana imperfect, we omitted all mention of the affecting and really eloauent allusion made to one of the Judge's old teachers, to whom he attributed nearly all he knew of happiness in his school days, and to whose lasting influence he attributes all that is valuable in his career in life. There were some of the Judge's audienco on whom his speech made a deop impression.

Heavy Rainfall Yesterday. One of the heaviest rains since June, 18G0, fell in this city and vicinity yesterday afternoon. It poured in torronts for about two hours, and then, after a brief resting spell, commenced pouring again. The side-walks on Market street were flood ed, as was the case in many other localities. At the corner of Second and Mulberry streets, where there is a low place, a great volume of water gathered and plunged down the embankment to an extent that made those who witnessed it almost imagine that they were gaaing at Niagara Falls.

The I alley just south of Market street, between- Front and Second, was completely sub merged, and the water was forced into Messrs. Hart Bailey's oundry buildings and Mr. George Myers'; warehonse to a depth of Boveral inches, the capacity of the sewer which passes through the1 alley in its courso to tho river not being sufficient to carry off the immense amount ot water that was forcing its way into it. Last uight there was another heavy rain, accompanied by very vivid flashes of lightning and heavy crashes of thunder, the impression being that some building or other object had been stricken by the electric fluid.
