Y., wyas heard barking in tho mountains some distance from the house. Mr, Felter's little little son, twelvo years old, knowing by the bark of the dog that sone important game was on foot, set out for the mountains. llis mother fch, a little anxious after the boy had gone, and for some time lis tened to the barking of the dog. After half an our the barking ocased ; and as hour after hour passed away and the boy did not make his appear. unce, the mother set out to go to one of the neighbors to scouro their help in search for tho boy. On the road mot her husband returning from the village, -whero ho had that morning been at tending to some business. Ile listen ed to his wife's story, and trying to caln her fears, went back with hor to the house, and taking his gun star tod toward the place indicated by his vife. Mr. Felter travelled about through the mountains until late in the afternoon, seeing nothing, hear ing nothing, and was about to return home when ho almost stumbled over the dead carease of a wildcat. It was a very larg-i male. Everything indi cated a terrible confliot. The spec ta ole gave Mr. Felter an apprehension that some terrible thing had happened to his boy. Examining the leaves and underbrush hie had no difficulty in finding a trail of blood, and this he followed nearly a hundred yards. h'len lie camne upon the dog standing over the body of his son, who was piostrate on the ground. Tho dog was earnestly looking at the boy, and occasiominlly licking his face and liands. (On Mr. F'olter's approach, lie gave a loud hark an] pranced about with joy. The father knelt by the side of h is son and placed his hand over his heart. With joy unspoaka bilt) lie found the littlo follow alive, but terribly wounded, as it appeared by the claws of the wild oat. The little follows clothes wore almost torn to shreds, and his flesh was terribly la:1orated from head to foot. Ile was hulforing from loss of blood, but his wounds had boon handsomely dressed by the faithful dog, which had for hours been standing by him liching them. Taking his boy in his aris the father made his way to his home, followed by the ever-faithful dog. After reaching the house, restorative beiag administored,the boy was able t) tell his story. lie camo upon tihe .willoat, and seeing that his catship held the dog at bay, having an advan. tageous position, he attempted to dis lodge him, first with stones ; but these the boast did not soen to mind. Then ho got a polo and attempted to poke him out. At this the wildent lcoamno enraged, and springing upon the boy, ,oratohod and tore his flesh as above related. At this the dog dahied at the eat and boon dispatch ed it. The bcy attempted to go ho me, but sank to the grouiid exhaus tedl. The little fellow is doing well. The good nursing of the dog las done nwch toward allaying the infla miation ; the licking of is wounds by the faithful animal hats undoubtedly saved the boy's life.-New YorA Su. Sobhil Honor. Eveory person should cultivate a nice sense of honor. In a hundred different ways this most fitting ad junet of the true lady or gentleman is often tried. Vor instan oe, one is the guest of a family where, perhaps, the domestic maohinery dloes not run smoothly. There is sorrow in the house unsuspeoted by the outer world, 8omoetimes it is a dissipated son, whose conduct is a shame and grief te his parentsa; sometimes a relative, whose ecuontricitios and peouliarities are a cloud on the home. Or worst of tall, husband and wife may not be in accord, and there imay be often bitter words spoken and harsh reorin. Inations. In any of these oases the guest is In honor bound to be blind and deaf, as far as people without are concerned. If a gentle word within can, do ainy good, it may well be said, but to go forth and rcvoal the shaadoij of an unhaippy secret to any, even your nearest friend, it is an act of indelicacy and meanness almost un. paralled. One in the satred pre. cincts of any home, admitted to its privacy, sharing its life, all that you see and hoar is a saosed trust.. It, is really eontemiptiblo to gossip of suoh things as it as would be' to steal the ailver or I orrow the books and forget o return themn.-Columnbia IIeraldd.

Almost a Riot. Raleigh, it seems, says the Sentinel, is determined not to be behind other southern citios in the, matter of riots. Onl Thursday, 24th inst., at the N. C. 1R. I. depot, between the hours of 7 and 8 p. w.; one of the railroad offi oials had cause to forcibly eject a ne gro from the ladies' parlor in the do pot building, when a number of his sable brethren manifested a disposi tion to actively espouse his quarrel. A uumber of whitos immediately came to the assistance of the railroad offiial, and, for a time a serious row was imminent. Fortunately, however, the matter blow over, with one negro being knocked down with a stick in the hands of one of tho white mon. A negro at Charlesville, Virginia, having beer sentenced to impribou ment in the county jail, askod the Judge to change it to a threshing, which he did, and the negro got thir ty-nine on the bare back, When ths other darkies in jail heard of it they got up a petition to be whipped and turned loose. The abolition of the whipping-post doesn't seem to ault thetm ah well as it did their ardent ad mirers. WINNSBORO. Wednesday Morning, Aug. 30, 1871. The Cont or a Ga'aded l a Se0oo1. If the building cost, as it should, to be really convenient and suitable, not less than five thousand dollars, ap propriation of one hundred and sixty dollars for the thirty-two counties, would erect them. A bailding for tile negroes of the same kind would also be necessary. But this second building at the same co.st, should be built by the county town, thus Col tributing one-half towards the ex pense of erecting buildings, in con sideration of being selected as the fo cal point of education in the County. Legisla tion should not liave this point a voluntary oie, or the opposition of pure prejudice will defeat it, as it did Jefferson's splendid scheme in Vir. ginia. The matter should be compul sory, or the mere non-notion of the indifferent will defeat the whole scheme, just as the plan of the last educational bill Was dofeated this summer. The building up, it will take, say $1500 to pay the Principal, $1000 to pay the first assistant, and $500 to pay the second. Five handred dol lars more will meet inoidental expon-' sos. Thro thousand, five hundred dol. lars, then, will carry on the school. The State and the town could divide the expense between them. But it would be better perhaps not to make these [igh Schools free schools, but public schools, uipported, in part, by a tui tion fee of toi dollars for the half year, exactly as is done in Prussta, if this be done and a hundred pupils at tend, the annual tuition will amount to $2,000, and will meet more than one half of the expense. The school, in the other building, for negroes, owing to their condition, will at, first neces sarily be a P'rimtary and niot a High School, and the tuition itn it should be altogether free, until they desire high. or instruction, and are prepared for it, whon a pay-department ean then be also added on to that school. What! somec one itay say, the negroes to be educated free of eharge, and the whites to pay I Yes, friend, but not so fast. Primary education should always be perfectly free, and a free Primary Department eent be attached, under a fourth teacher, to the white High-school. All should be educated, and it can he easily done, ini perfect harmoeny, and at less coat, and with far mtoro efficiency, if all would keep their temtper and go about it in a friendly way, than it new costs, in the shape of volontary tuition foes, to e ducate imperfectly, and without sys temn,not all, even,but only a portion of the white.. In conclusion, this phan, like every other, will be liable to many imagi nary, and some real objections. Te succeed, I itmust not be left to the voluntary caprice of the towns, as Jefferson's plan was in Virginia, but should be forced into operation, 2o that it may vindicate itself and come into favor by its own success. Our conditiont is peculiar, and special le gislation, and an original system of our own, is necessary to supply effti ciently our e ducational necessities. DISturbanuces Norths tad south. Referring to the recent riot in 0g. densburg, Now York, by whtich the efforts of a strolling locturer to de liver antl-Catholic fulmination were sought to be prevented, the Now.York Journal of Commneree, one of the ablest, as it is certainly the most jo di eious and fairr-nijuded of all the Northern papers, makes the following trite and tnoisive observations: "Had a trouble of an equally so' rious aspect happened at the South, arising not out of relim..u or s rian differences but from political causes, men like Speaker Blaine would lay the whole blame on the Xu- Klux, and demand that President Grant send bayonets down there. It would be exactly as appropriate to call upon him to interfere at Ogdensburg, and his interferonep is ap much needed there as at the South. W * Since we should regard the appearance of FedOall trooos f Ogdensburg, to set tie a religious feud, as a wanton insult to the dignity of the State, we are also, by the eame proucms of reasoni ig, constrained to look upon all forte acts relating to the South as imperti. tient and unnecessary meddling in the concerns of that part of the country. To appreciate how south.rners feel about it, we have only to imugine our own thoughts in case President Grantk bad made the Ogdoeiiburg outbreak the pretext of putting thatoity under martial law." MixiBg Sexes In Public SClmo40l4. The Oradod High Schools, with three woll-paid teachers, in every County-aeat, which we 'lvocate, should be open to both sexes. Expe rionoe proves that nixing boys and girls in the same classes improves both sexes, and contributes to the good order and disciplino of the sohool ; and experience on such a sub. ject is worth more than speculation. The splendid schools of Illinois and Missouri are schools attended by both boys and girls. In the old world of Asia, whore women aro least respect ed, and in consequence, despite all ar tificial restraints, least chaste, the sexes are kept studiously apart, as if contact and social iitercourse, must, of necessity, produce immodesty, im purity and sensuality. In Europe, and especially in France, the sexes are kept further apart, than in Ame rica, and yet we know there is more of grossness and less of purity between the sexes there, than here. Chastity of thought and decorum of conduct are thus clearly proven to depend on other causes, than educating and keeping the young people of the two sexes apart. We remomber our own experience as a youth on this subject. It was when flung frequently into the society of young ladies, that we en tertained most worthy and most manly thoughts of them. But we felt the need of some power of discrimination in our estimate of them, Had we gone to sohool for a few years with them, our quixotic admiratlon of "the weaker vessel" would have had more sonso in it. Weqwould have been a sadder man. Sincea we usually did theii sums for the rest of our class, the fibs the girls would have told, claiming our work as their own, and the manly lies we would have told in con fir ming their asssea t ions on the sul-' ject, might haive establ ished a life time friendbhip with mome of thme love liest of the ee. But alfas I "dis ahi ter viuum." Our boys, however, shall have a better chance thani their un fortunate father. They shall attend school with girls. Jury J~Lws. The following condemnation of the jury laws is mildly put by the Beau fort R~epublioan: Outside of the generat election law, there is not one so open to eriticism and abuse, a that relating to the drawing of Grand .Juries. In one sense it gives the Jury Comnmission oe a peculiar discrimination by a-. coting such "as they may think well qualIfied to serve as jurors," and in so doing, they are at liberty to think what they please, and select a set of men who are as innocent ofalphabeoti cal knowledge or chirography as if they were inhabitants of seome yet un discovered country. This Is all wren g. A juror has more power than the Judge on the beseh.-the life of some human being is entrusted to his moat solemn anad sainried deliberation. Yet if he have nos within him theo olemoet of hnow ledge to see and comprehend the masd of evidonee given hfimn upon wyhich to form a ver diet, who would eare to trust theilr case in his hands. Admitting that the foreinan of the jury is competent, it renders the ease mnob the worse, for the leaning of the jury will very naturally be warped by the opinion of such an officer, be it for or against justice. The most competent, we don't say educated, men should be chosen-men of intelligence, eapaible of shifting a grain of truth from a mountain of error. The present Grand Jury is a re markable inatanee of this indiscrimii, nate selection. Nine out of twelve caanot read nor waite. As an illustration of their ignorance we have only to cite one case. In exsamining the books of the County Coammissionere, they opened them, their faces beaming with the wisdom of a sage,. commncned deliberately to turn the leaves, and running their fingers over the, to them, hieoro glyphic scrawls, giving now and thena a satisfactory grunt,. and upon reach ig the end of said rebord, they were in formed t hat they had opened the books upside down, and in their rus.. tie. uiiiniity theyaere.. them selves that in them was concentrated vision of an Argus-and that if there were ei-rors they should detect them. W hat room is there for comment t or rather what an opportunity to rebuke the ignorant legislator for passing such laws. We are not looking for perfection in our jury system, nor do we approve of excluding the colored -theie are intelligent meii in their ranks, let them be mixed any way you please, but give us reason, ibtelli genon and justice. -. ~.

The "departure" on the corn question is grand. Tie farimers grtim. ble because tho crop, in c.nequence of the drought, did not q'ii6e come up to their expectations, and not because of a failure. People are generally very exti nvagant in their ex pressitns, "The bsbt erop I ever had," "Will make enough corn to do me two years," "My crop is a comIpiete faiilure," etc., are common expre.-sions, and are gen orally false. I will tell you of the crops of my own neighborhood. The corn crop is the best wo have had since 1865. Rain will do it very lit ble good. No rain will do it very lit, tle harm.
