The message of Governor Orr t the State Legislature, is one of th most able documents ever submi1 ted to this people, and with th accompanying reports and state ments, exhibits, in a. clear an comprehensive manner, the pre sent condition of the different d< partments of the government. In his recommendations Gov ernor Orr is' frank and plain, an he has evidently been prompte by a. proper desire to render faithful acequnt of his stewarc ship, il at the' same..tine, h points out' to the inexperience legislators who temporarily diree ou,r affairs the shoals upon whici they :aremost likely.to be wrecked .The views of-Go4.

Terrible Scene at an Execu tion. e A horrible spectable was pre sented in Salisbury, North Caroli e na, on Friday, the 26th. uIt., at the execution of Rufus Ludwig, I for the murder of his wife, after being. married to her only eleven - days: He smoked a cigar on his way to the scaffold, and seemed not to i care for the fate that awaited i him. In the midst of the prayer a. he called on one of the crowd- for a chew of tobacco, which he took a and put in his mouth-. After a I hymn had been sung, Ludwig t arose -to make -a speech, and ram 1 .bled on disconnectedly for several minutes with the -evident igten tion of -gaining time.~ At length , the sheriff forced him upon the p4tforn. when s most extraordi t nary and exciting scene ensued. - He at once made a wild plunge forward, with the intentioa of . leaping off the platform on the t farther side, and with the evident 3 purpose of making a break and a desperate endeavor to push -his way .through the crowd and es cape his impending doom. Noth. ing could be' more hopeless ~an such an effort. But ludwig bid -. ceused to reflect; he only felt the animal instinct of self-preserva tion. He succeeded in throwing his feet and legs 0T the platfor m -but the two officers iiavibg hold of his arms and shoulders held1 fast, and pulling him batkwrd he fel; with the upper part of is back still on the platform, his-egs and" pat of his -body proje. g over the edge. . Several oUhbe liejiaest:.o ers: of ,tahg._ at Sonce lshed to the _assistance of the sheriff and laid hold of -Lad. I. wig's legs, endeavoring to shove bim~ backward on' the platform. But the prisoner- struggled. with almoat-super-buman strength. With all the vigor -of his powerful and muscular frame, nerved by despair,. he wrest ed with fate. For a long time he uttered no word, but 'with convulsive -and rapid movement of- arms and legs strove-to -wrench himself from the -~graisp of the -eight or ten men. .whou -ow had hold ol'him. A .t.Erill of awe --and horFor . ran :threugh the immense .aasemblage, e* aidit-swayed to and-.fro like a forest-shaken.by a -mighty wind. Bat th'bse whose duty it 'was to abt remained ealm and isol. The noose was two fe above his head as lie lay, and powerful -ef Sforts were used to push.him up to it. At the- end of moi-e than nyve minutes he ' exclaimed that .he Swould stand up 'and be quiet ~if .they would reteaFe their hold, but this was evidenly said only. for the.purpose of inducing them to Srelax their efoirts, for he showed no sort of disposition to relax his own exertionis. -The officers per sisted in placing. the' noose ove~r Shis.head, and as h.e felt that inev Iitable fate now had him, he is said to have muttered a cui-se, which was overheard by somne of those nearest hinr. It took several min' utes to pinion his hands and feet, he meanwhile lying on his .side Sand choking to death as fast as p8ssible, for the -rope waa stretched Sby his weight. By the time his arms and legs were tied he had become motionless, the cap was s put over his face, and the officers 1 sprang off and knocked out the o prop. In fifteen minutes thereaf a ter the spirit of Ludwig was at , the bar of God. s The Raleigh Sentinel learns that the violetit rains in several of the e Eastern and Northeastern coun Sties of North Carolina have dc stroyed the growing crops entirely. .The coantry is said to be flooded. - Thbe rains are regar'ded as the most - violent which have occurred in 'the last 'ffty years.

TAKING A SPIRITUAL INVTENJ'oRY. -Ocqcasional retirement,, self-in qiry, meditation and secret com munion with- God are absolutely essentaij to sbiritual health. The. man who neglects them is in great danger of a 'fall. To be always preaching, teaching, speaking, and working public works is unques tionably asigni of zealnot according to knowledge. It often leads to untoward consequences. We must take time for sitting down and calm ly looking within and examining how matters stand between our souls and Christ. The omission of this practice is the true account of many- a backsliding which shocks the church and gives occasion to the world to blaspheme.~ Many could, say, in the words of the Canticles.

COoninue on daand ae) A Curl Cut Off With An Axe "Do you see this lock of hair ? said the old man to me. "Yes; but what of it? It is, ] suppose, the curl from the head o a dear child long since gone t< heaven." "It is not ; it is a curl of my owi hair, and it is now nearly sevent3 years since it was cut from thil head." "But why do you prize a loci of your own hair so much?" "It has a story belonging. to. it and a strange one. I keep it thu: with care because it speaks to mE more of God and His especial can than anything I possess. "I was a little child of fon: years old, with long curly locks which in sun, or- rain, or wind hung down my cheeks uncovered One day my father w3nt int< the woods to cut up a log; and:] went with him. I was standing . little way-behind, or rather at hil side, watching with interest th4 strokes of the heavy axe, as i went up and came down upon th4 wood; sending olf splinters -witl every stroke in' all directions.:' "Some of the splinters fell at m3 feet, and I eagerly stooped to' picl them up. In doing so I stumblei forward, andin moment my curl3 head lay upon the log. I had fal lenjust at the moment when thi axe was coming down with all iti force. "It was too late to stop th blaw. Down came - the axe. 3 screamed, and my father fEll: -t the ground in terror. He conk not stay 'the stroke, an4 in .thi blindness which the sudden bor ror caused be- thoug1 .be 1Ia "We soon recovered-I from n .igbt and he from his terror.

"He knelt upon the grass aac gave thaks. - "Having done so, he took u the axe and found a few bire upor the edge. He turned to the Ioi he had been splitting, and there was a singIe curl of his boy's hair sharply cut through'and, laid upoz the wood.' -"How' great-the esca"pe I "It was as if an angel had tar ned, aside the' edge~at the mc ment whe'n it was deseending ox my head. With renewed thank upon his lips, he took up the curl and went home with me in -hii arms. "That lock he kept all his dayi as a memorial of-great .good for tune.

A COMMERCIAL VIEw QF TE] Caos-The Cincinnati Price Car rent of the 1st'insta'nt thus speaki of the wheat harvest and .othe: crops: Wheat has been harvested'pret ty generally, in all the' -tate south of-the Ohio river, and ildsi in-the southern portion of Illinois The yield is not very heavy but the quality is pretty gen erally highly spoken of. In por ions of Indiana the weevil has been doing considerable damage bt' this does not extend ovel a large district. The accounti from the entire Union, with an ex ception here and there, as regard the crops are generally favorabl< more generally so than has beer the case for many years. The in dications, of an abundant eort crop are quite favorable, and shoul< this be the case, a large mncrease it the pork crop may be looked foi the coming -season, because thi supply of stock hogs will be un usually large ; for not only wal the supply left over from las season large,,.farmers not havinj fatted them because of the higi price of corn and the comparativi ow price of pork, but the increast since then has been liberal, so tha the number now in the Wester: States, it will be seeu, must be un musu11l large.
