How greatly are such feelings intensified when a precious bird-ling returns, warbling the praises of those we have ever felt kindly towards. Whose youthful eyes Beized every new object in eagerness viewed broad fields of green herbage blooming, boiling stalks, ripening corn, waving, undulating in its green and gold vines of esculent tubers, as they meandered over their brown hills, their leaflets seemingly to let mountain sweet melons, play hide and seek where orchards of fruit, standing in humble submission, temptingly inviting the young friends to come and gather, so when away the would be forced to exclaim, what a delightful home, one fair, favored and sweetly tempered hostess Miss Johnnie K.

The collection of letters, of which this is one, was found years ago in a book store in London, and is now in possession of the Boston Public Teie Raleigh News eays Capt R. D. Graham, owner of the site on which the Atlantic Hotel stood, arrived in that city Monday. He states that another hotel cn a more enlarged and improved scale will be erected on the same spot before another summer season arrives, and that Beaufort will have lost none of her former glory as a summer resort He estimates the loss from the storm at $150,000 at least The Messrs. Hollowell Peterson will run an excursion train from this place to Morehead'City to-morrow, (Friday,) leaving here at 7:30 A.

and returning will leave Morehead City at 5:00 P. giving four hours at the seaside. Fare for the round trip, only $1. Here is a splendid opportunity to those who desire to view the havoc and destruction of the late, storm. Parties have the privilege of returning on the regular train the day following.

We regret to learn that our friend John E. King, a clever and esteemed citizen of Sampson county, had the misfortune to loose his dwelling and kitchen by fire Thursday night of last week, together with most of his household and kitchen furniture, wearing apparel and supply of provision. The fire originated in the kitchen from a defective flue. When discovered, it had communicated to the large dwelling and the roof fell in shortly afterwards. Mr.

King's loss is quite heavy, and he has no insurance. Tiie scene at Beaufort, during the storm, is described by eye-witnesses, as the most magnificent in grandeur ever beheld. The waves, lashed to the utmost fury, rolled "mountain high," carrying everything before them, while the fierce gale dashed the salt spray hundreds of yards out of their reach. The Nut Shell learns that the shade trees in Morehead City and the shrubbery along the line of railroad skirting the sound have put on the habiliments of Fall, the leaves having been scared from the action of the salt water. TnE Tarboro Southerner learns that the trustees of Zanoah Lodge, No.

235, 1. O. B. of that town, has received a check for $1,000 payable to Mrs. Jacob Rosenthal, of Washington, N.

C. This is the endowment on the death of Jacob Rosenthal, who was a member of this order. The check was received within CO days after his death. There are only three lodges of this kind in North Carolina one in Tarboro, one in Wilmington and one in Charlotte. "Tis said there is much similarity between the I.

O. B. and K. of II. Tiie Newbern Democrat is informed that satisfactory arrangements have been made and entered into between the A.

N. C. R. It. and the Richmond and Danville Division, for the establishment of a through line to Charlotte.

By this agreement the A. N. C. R. R.

is an integral part of a grand trunk line, and not a simple appendage as many feared. Steamer connections will be maintained at New-Bern and Morhead City, and less than pro rata rates to Company Shops. And wonder what objection we shall hear to this arrangement? The new gold and goloid coins proposed to be made by the United States Treasury, are thus described The double eagle $20 piece is an orange gold, in color, and the most beautiful coin that can be conceived. The goloid dollar is an equally beautifully finished coin, monetizing both gold and silver together as bimetalic money so that one metal cannot expel the other from circulation, but maintaining gold and silver equally in use, on an equal basis, or ratio of sixteen to one, as a unit of the entire precious metals. They are metric weights as well as troy.

We were exceedingly pleased yesterday to receive a call from our friend J. H. Muse, the city editor of the Wilmington Star. Bro- Muse is a thoroughly educated newspaperman, and his labors on the Star ever since it was first founded, are the best evidence of this. It is seldom that a daily journal so widely known and influential as the Star, retains a city editor as long.

For twelve years Bro. Muse has done valuable service on that paper, and it is a pleasure to record it, especially in consideration of the fact that it is one of the best and most suc cessful journals in the South, and by its able management has achieved a wide circulation and a deserved popularity. Mr. Muse left for Newbern yesterday ac companied by his good lady. During their short stay in our town they were the guests of Mrs.

R. E. Jones. A Terrible explosion occurred at Ellis Levy's saw mill, near Wilson, last Saturday morning, by which three persons were killed under horrible circumstances. The mill was about to go to work.

There was some deficiency in the boiler, which was filled with water the previous night, Mr. Robert Partin, the engineer, put his hand on the tVrottle to start the engine'. Just as he did so the boiler exploded, and he was thrown into the air to the height of thirty feet He fell, crushed flat, and every bone in his body was broken. Robert Johnson, the negro fire man, was struck by a piece of the boiler weighing 1,500 poundsahd carried by it a distance of one hundred and fifty yards. He fell in an unrecognizable mass of human flesh.

John Austin, another em ploye, was scalded with boiling water, and lived only an hour. His fleh was peeled from his body, and his nose and ears burned of. He died begging the people to kill him. IgyThose wanting new work or repair ing done, will find the best of workmen and material at J. D.

AprI1 mrW WHAT TO DO WITH MUTILATED MONEY. Persons are frequently at a loss to know what to do with mutilated money.

A circular from the treasury department just received gives important information in relation to this matter. Among other information is the following United States notes mutilated not to the extent of one-tenth, and fractional notes mutilated not to the extent of one-fifth, are redeemable at full face value. United States notes mutilated to the extent of one-tenth, but not two-tenths, are redeemable at nine-tenths of full face value two-tenths, but not three-tenths, at eight-tenths of their full face value three' tenths, but not tour-tenths, at seven tenths of their face value four-tenths. but not one-half, at six-tenths of their face value. Jbragmentsot notes, each constituting clearly one-half, are redeemable at one-half the full face value of such whole notes.

Fragments less than half are redeemed only when accompanied by an affidavit, except when they together constitute more than one-half a note, and it appears either from the notes themselves or from an affidavit made in conformity to the following paragraph, that they are actually parts of one original note. Notes mutilated as described above ac companied by an affidavit from the owner and from such other persons as have knowledge ot the tacts, that the missing portions have been totally destroyed, are, if the proof furnished is satisfactory, redeemed at the full face value of such whole notes. The affidavit must state the cause and manner of the mutilation, and must be sworn and subscribed before an officer qualified to administer oaths, who must affix his official seal thereto, and the character of the affiants must be certified to be good by a magistrate or other public officer. The treasurer will exercise such discretion under this regulation as may seem to him needful to protect the United States from fraud. Unredeemed frag ments are rejected and returned counter feit notes are branded and returned.

APPEAL FROM BEAUFORT. Richmond State. Aug. 2Cth. The recent destructive storm on the At lantic coast was more destructive and more severely felt at that beautiful seaside resort Beaufort, North Carolina than perhaps at any other point, and the suffering of the inhabitants who lost nearly or quite all their possessions, must ap- peai 10 an cnancame persons ior rcnei in their behalf.

The following correspondence fully explains itself, and we trust will meet a prompt response from the people of Kichmond, who are so intimate ly connected, socially and commercially, with the people of North Carolina Office of tiie Mayor, Richmond, Aug. 2Gth, 1879. To the People of Richmond I have just received the following ap- Keal for aid from the Mayor of Beaufort, forth Carolina "Beaufort, N. Mayor's Office, August 23rd, 1879. To the Mayor of Richmond: You have doubtless seen and heard of the terrible devastation wrought in our town by the storm on Monday the 18th instant, We must have help from abroad or our people must suffer.

Can't you send us some assistance? Any amount thankfully received. W. L. Martin, Mayor." This appeal is urgent, and any assistance rendered should be given at once. It is to be hoped that all our citizens who feel able to do so will respond to the call.

W. Quarles, cashier of the Planters National Bank, will receive any subscriptions made and forward the same. Very respectfully, W. C. Carrinqton, Mayor.

I We hope some steps will be taken in this community towards extending relief to the unfortunate people of Beaufort. The matter is one that deserves serious consideration. We would suggest that contributions be left with Capt. R. P.

Howell, at the Bank. Ed. Messenger. FOLLY, DEVOTION AND COURAGE. Presence of mind in the hour of danger is a most valuable characteristic, valuable almost every day, and essential in every department of every day life needed by both sexes, and worthy of cultivation from the earliest years.

Parents are rarely aware of the damage they do their children, and of the results that may follow the siHy practice of frightening them into duty, and of confusing them, by scolding and whipping. A child, or an animal, can be trained-educated to be fearless to be cool and collected in danger, to be calm and deliberate under difficulties. How many lives have been saved by presence of mind, and how many have been lost by panic, will never be known, but every day or two we see an instance which troubles us, because we see that folly has brought distress. This example comes from Des Moines, lows "A little child of II. L.

Skinner, Secretary of the American Emigrant Company, fell into a cistern beneath the floor, momentarily left open. Its mother plunged in to save it, and both disappeared, the water being eight or ten feet deep. She soon came up with the little one in her arms, exclaiming, 4I have saved it 17 Her son, seventeen years of age, then arrived at the scene, and he jumped in to rescue them. He succeeded in getting the child out, and it was resuscitated, but the mother sank and was drowned. The son with difficulty was saved." Carelessness, devotion, folly on the part of the mother, want of presence of mind on the part of the son.

A rope, a pole, a plank a little calm thought and all might have been well. -r The diseases of BabyhoooV are so rapidly weakening that the quickest means should be used to che klthem. Dr. Bull's Bady Syrup is the unfailing remedy for these, complaints. Price 25 cents.

Carriages, a new supply now in store, and sold cheaper than ever before, at Fuchtler 4b Kern's Furniture Store.

A circular letter from the office of the supreme dictator, Knights of Honor, has been sent to the subordinate lodges, reminding them of the following law adopted at the last session of the supreme lodrJ relation to conferring degrees in infected districts during the prevalence of an epidemic Section 4. It shall not be lawful for subordinate lodges to confer the degrees of this order upon an applicant for membership during the existence of an epidemic of cholera or yellow fever within their jurisdiction. The same circular conveys the informa tion that the call for voluntary contributions from the respective lodges to aid members of the order in Memphis and other infected localities, who may require assistance, is meeting with prompt response, and funds will be ready to assist where members are not otherwise able to leave an infected town Or city. REFLECTIONS ON FARMING, HOS PITALITY, Kinston, Aug. 25, 1879.

Editor Messenger: Virgil teaches in his Georgics, he that makes two blades of grass grow where only one did, is a public benefactor. Watts, in the debate between Crito and Theron, maintained that all flesh is grass our clothing once was but tiny spires. When parents realize the fact that there are immortal longings, as well as bodily wants to supply, for their children, which when furnished, arouses into fuller activ ity those delicate, yet most charming qualities of tire human heart hospitality, friendship and affability, innately is given a spur, a desire for a greater per fection mentally. A step further is taken a higher plane is reached. In these times of such wide spread despondancy, when men all over the land, are either straining every nerve to keep their vessels from sinking beneath the waves of the financial hurricane, or stilly exercising the most rigid economy as to time and means, (Iago in thought and counsel, put money in thy purse), others hoarding everything for self-aggrandizement only, (Aaron-like in Titus Andronicus, if one good deal in all my life I did, I do repent it, it is so refresh ing to contemplate the liberal in spirit, dropping fatness by the wayside, bringing to memory a passage in one of the early poems of Burns The heart benevolent and kind, The most resembles God.

It is a pleasant fact to chronicle, that a gentleman, the son of a gentleman, (blood will tell) made it his pleasure to accede to the wishes of his wife and daughter, and sent for and welcomed to his hospita ble mansion, the Misses Sebie Dunn, Bettie Harvey, Julia White, Fleda Cox and Mozelle Pollock, of Kinston, on last Wednesday, the 20th, and anxiously exerted himself, to make their few days' stay a most enjoyable His most estimable lady (Mrs. James M. Kornegay) added fresh delights daily, making the impression on their receptive minds, as being an admirable wife, a tender mother, the possessor of rare elegancy of manners.
