uninteresting to many of your readers to see some further account ofthe wolves that infest montgom ery inni a portion of the counties of ran dolph davidson stanly richmond and m ne careful inquiry reveals facts that go to prove that these wolves tire of the aboriginal stock oi the parts of country above named that they are of the largest american species ; and that in point of size ami ferocity they are not at all inferior to ihe great siberian lapsus vorax a gentleman of unquestionable veracity informed the writer that he was attacked and pursued at night near the ner hern boundary of montgomery about thirty years ago by an animal making a very stiangc and to him unearthly noise which animal was of a dark color anil of the size ofa large wolf and which at that time he was unable to name after the attack he hastened home procured his two mastiffs which werelarge,plucky and very obedient and proceeded immediately to the spot where he luul been attacked having shown them thc tracks ofhis assailant.thcy seemed at once subdued ami reluctant and could not be induced to pursue him a young man of dauntless courage ami more than ordinary physical strength and activity living in the southwestern corner of randolph was some time during the past winter the subject of a most deter mined onslaught by one of these waives ii •, it seems had been visiting a neighbor with wham he had

qualifications of the wolf called aloud for help his neighbor hearing him took two able-bodied tins and run to his relief ami upon his arrival the young man related the facts as above stated adding that it con i not have been a dog since no dog under heaven conld have made such a noise an the animal referred to luul made thcctirs being shown the tracks ofthe an imal which had in thc meantime skulked away refused as might have been export ed to give himchi.se on a certain night a year or two ago according to reliable information one ofthe besl citizens of stanly county living in the neighborhood ot mineral springs institute had his accustomed equanimity greatly jostled by lhe sudden sharp shrill and pro longed squall ofa wolf which had ventured to a point very near his dwelling his dogs on being encouraged to take him re tired by crawling under the house and could not lie persuaded to come out thus forsaking tlieir friend and master to take care of himself as best he might ami show ing as a great many hunters very well know 1 li;it dogs wil not pursue wolves with any useful effect over twelve months ago a gentleman liv ing in the region of troy while hunting heard his dog which was acknowledged to be the master of at y other dog in ail that part ofthe country lighting witli something and from the noise he knew that he was being badly hurt he therefore ran lo the spot where tlie noise was heard and found his large able dog in what appeared to be a mortal combat with a large wolf the wolf on seeing llu man relinquished liis hold on the dog and s ampere 1 away lhe iiiiin having had no chance to shoot him without endangering his dog near the spot where the tight had occurred he found a den of young wolves he procured help and lay in concealment near by hoping to be able to kill thc oid wolf when she should nt tempt lo return to her young but in this he was foiled since although she would come within hearing she wouid not come within sight lb and his party captured lhe pups however and tried to tame and raise them but they proved 1 be so incor rigible thai ihey were obliged to kill them from the liest h ruination ntfainah.c these wolves arc

interna tional fair of 1878 i have seen the two largest capitals of europe en fete but for a well appointed and well performed programme of celebration and festivity 1 have never seen anything that was equal aft initio ml jinan to thc inaugu ration of president garfield with the exception of paris no other city has such wide smooth and solid streets for pro cessional display and no city has such a spacious and will appointed building for receptions nnd balls as the nev nation al museum affords it was the remark of many that if this spacious system of salons had been built with special refer ence to such fetes as was witnessed there friday night it could not have been bet ter planned the inauguration coin mi - tee spared neither labor nor expense to make the ball burevs dl and the eclat of the occasion borrow i i quite as much from their work on the building and the per fection of its appointments as from the brilliant assemblage that gathered in its halls it will be impossible in the space of one short letter to go into details there were over four thousand guests among whom were the president of to day and the president of yesterday ; generals hancock sherman sheridan and many other distinguished army and naval officers in full uniform ; ministers of foreign powers with their attaches all in full court dress ; senators anil mem bers of congress governors and ex-gov

glided to the rapturous compositions of strauss or shot about like comets to the wild music of the racquet there hat been much talk about tlie number of colored people that would be at the ball but this varity was exceed ingly scarce and it must be said to their credit very well behaved this morning saturday thousands of visitors arc crowding the trains on tlieir return home but it will be at

different times and places it appears that some fertili zers are not uui form in composition sonic lots are so different from other lots sold under the same name as to render it improbable that the variations arc the results of imperfect mixing numerous facts which have come under my observa tion leads mc to believe that this varia tion is intended in sonic cases this is of course a violation ofthe law aud is very misguiding to the farmers three sam ples of the same fertilizer claiming to be a special fertilizer for tobacco are i ta ken at henderson last spring analyzed by dr ledou:.,(ii

as many facts prove farmers should have the compo sition of every lot guaranteed to them and should verify this by sending sample to station for analysis the department will lake numerous samples of each brand at different points this season in the en deavor to detect these uncertain brands second : the case before us shows as do many other facts that the articles sold in north carolina arc much superior to the articles sold under same name in ad joining states the sample from dan ville is inferior to the norlh carolina samples while 5.00 more per ton was asked for it than for the best north

morphine most i of them had according to report begun the injections in order to relieve themselves from pain caused by neuralgia rheumatism or some other distressing disorder the j effect was so

six years ami many persons who would never be suspect ed of the habit are its irredeemable victims it has largely usurped the place with cer tain classes of the old custom of taking morphine laudanum ami other prepara tions of opium into the stomach the pop ular notion is that it is not so harmful but there is very little difference and the in jections are thought to be more dangerous because they are more insidious they can be self administered without the least trou ble and are so administered in nearly all cases where serious mischief is done the effect of the morphine under the skin is described as peculiarly and wonderfully agreeable a delicious languor steals over the frame the senses art wrapped as in a voluptuous dream and a most joyous con sciousness of perfect yet fascinating

on this account some physicians will not administer or pre scribe morphine under any circumstances fearing the consequences to tlieir patients not a few women or the finer type have been wrecked by the habit and many men professional and commercial are steadily ruining themselves by its indulgence it was hailed as a great blessing once and so it is properly regulated but like so many blessings
