A committee of delinquent railroad tax payers of Bolton, township waited upon tho County Treasurer this week and informed him that they were ready for him to serve lils executions, mid were anxious for him to do so in time for the issue to be deter mined by the Court at its next session for this county.

Persons having real estate for sale rail have th? same advertised to the 'ountry at large without charge by Col. A. Pope, the General Ticket Agent of the Clyde lines of railroads by giving a description of it to Rev. H. B. Fant, thc depot agent at this pluce. The Clyde Company is endeavoring to induce immigrants to settle in the sec tions of country travorscd by their roads, and this is one of tho means employed to carry out their object. t'p to Tuesday, Pith instant, over live thousand dollars had been subscribed in Abbeville village for the grading . f the Atlantic and French Brood Valley -.?ilroad through that county.

The discussion of the question of Prohi bition, which is now attracting so much at tention all over thc State, is opened in thc INTELMOENCEB this week by Mr. W. W. Brown, of Williamston. We believe the discussion of tho question in thc public journals will do good, and for that reason cheerfully give publicity to the views ot our friend- and if there arc others who feel disposed to taker, hand in the ventila tion of the matter, our columns are open to them so long as they keep within propel limits and abstain from personalities of an injurious nature. Ti is r. subject cr. which there is a great deal to bo said on both sides and the debatants should keep cool and pre serve their equilibrium. An important railroad meeting is now being held at States"ille, N. C., the objet I of which is tho consideration of thc quos lion of extending the Virginia Midlanc Road to the South Atlantic coast.

Tho twin bed spring is one of thc bes things introduced in this section in a loni time, and everybody who can spare fiv dollars should buy a set from the gentle men now canvassing the town. When it i considered that poopJe spend at least one third of their lives in beti, and that refresh I ing sleep gives tone to tho system and vigo to the mind, it does seem that beds sliouli be made as comfortable as possible. Mair a man has worn himself out on hard um uncomfortable beds, when a small sum o money would have not only secured bin comfort, but would also have prolonged bl life by years. Read the advertisement o H. S. Lipscomb it Co., and then invest fiv dollars in a set of their springs, and yoi will never regret it.

Tilt' vi-.it ?if Blind Tom lo our 'owu wu* un event that wiU long be remembered by our citizens with pleasure and wonderment combined. Everybody bad heard of the wonderful twrforrnances of Illind Tom, hut they hud not realized whut a real wonder bo was until they beheld him with their own eyes mid listened with their own ears to his enrapturing and snul-iuspiring mclo dies. Ho -.lerfornied ia McCully's Hall to a densely crowded house on Saturday night, anil for moro than two hours delighted his audience with both instrumental and vocal music, Interspersed with humorous recita tions and exhibitions of his remarkable memory and acuteness of hearing. He was in charge of Mr. Bethune, u son of bis former owner, who lived near Colum bus, Ga., whore Toni was bom and raised. Just now the following extracts from a biography of Tam will bc perused with in terest, and will give our routiers nu idea of his general ehuractor and history : Tom was born blind, and, learning noth ing from sight, manif?tted in his early in fancy so entire a want of intellect as to in duce tho belief that ho was idiotic as well as blind. His imbecility and helplessness secured for him tho sympathy and care of the family In his infancy ; whoo ho bogar, to walk and run ahout the yard, his amus ing peculiarities made him a pet. His lind manifestation of interest In anything was his fondness for sounds : the first Indication of capacity, his power of imitating them. Musical sounds exerted a controlling intlu once over him ; but all sounds, from the soft breathings of the flute to the lian*!; grating of tho corn-shcller, appeared to alibi i him exquisite enjoyment. Ho talked earlier than other children* and he talked no "baby talk." lie uttcreA his words clearly and 'distinctly, attaching no meaning to them, but seeming to con sider them merely sounds, which he imi tated, us he did all others that he heard. Whatever words were addressed to him, whether in thc form of a question, a com mand, a request, or as mutter of informa tion, he simply repeated in the tones in I which they had been uttered ; and would i repeat not only them, but conversations he had bearii-sometimes for hours at a time ; yet, long after he was in possession of a vocabulary, with which, if he had known Its uso, he might have sustained a respect able conversation upon any ordinary topic, he never attempted to express by words an idea, a feeling or a Want. His wanta he ex pressed by a whine, w hich those about him had to interpret as best thov could. * ???es* He exhibited ids wonderful musical pow ers before he was two years old. When the young misses of the family sut on the steps of au evening, and sang, Tom would come around and sing with them. Ono of them one evening said to her lather : "Pa, Tom sings beautifully, and he don't have to learn any tunes ; he knows Hiern all ; for as soon os wc begin to sing, he sings right nlong with us." Very soon she said : "He sings tine seconds to anything we sing." His voice was then strong, soft and melo dious. Just before ho hud completed his second year, he bad the whooping-cough, from thc effects of which his voice under went an entire change : it became and con tinued fur years exceedingly rough and harsh, though it did not affect the taste or correctness of his singing. He was a littlo less than four years of ugo wdiciL a piano was brought to the house. Thc first note that was sounded, of course, brought bim up. He waa permitted to in dulge his curiosity by running his lingers I over und smelling the keys, and was then taken out of the parlor. * As long as any one was playing bc was contented to stay in the yard, and dance and ca]-erto the music ; but the moment it ceased, having discovered whence the sounds proceeded, and how they were produced, he was anxious to get to Hie instrument to continue them. Ono night the parlor and tho piano bad been left open, his mother bad neglected to fasten her door, and he had escaped without her knowledge. Before day thc young ladies awoke, and, to their astonishment, heard Tom playing ono of their pieces. He con tinued to play until the family at the usual time arose, and gathered around him to witness and wonder at bis performance, which, though necessarily very imperfect, was marvelously strange; lor, notwith standing this was his first known effort at a tune, he played with both hands, und used thc black as wall as the white keys. After awhile be was allowed free access to the -da?o, and played everything he had beard. Ho soon mastered all of that, and commenced composing for himself. He would sit at the piano for hours, playing over the pieces be had berni, then go out, and run and jump about the yurd a little while, come back and play something of his own. Asked what it was, ho. replied, "It i? what the wind said lo mc," or "what the birds said to me," or "what the trees said to me," or what something else said to him. No doubt what lie was playing was con nected, in his mind, with some sound or combination of sounds proceeding from those things, and not unfrequently the rep resentation was so good as to render thc similarity clear to others. . . ? . a r * It has been sLited that Tom was born blind ; ill his infancy and for years thc pupils of his eyes were as white and appa rently as inanimate as those of a dead tish. But nature pointed out to bim a remedy which gradually relieved him from total darkness, and in process of time conferred upon him, to a limited extent, thc blessings of vision. When he was three or four years of age, it was observed that ho passed most of his time with his faco upturned to tho sun, as if gazing intently upon it, occasionally passing lils hand back and forth with a rapid motion before his eyes - that was soon followed by thrusting his fingers into his eyes with a force which appeared to be almost sufficient to expel the eye-balls from their sockets ; from this he proceeded to digging into one ot them with sticks, until the blood would run down his face. All this must have been pleasant to bim, or he would not have done it ; and there is no doubt that he is indebted to the stimulus thus applied to his eyes for the measure of sight ho now enjoys. When live or six years of age, a small, comparatively clear speck appeared in on? of Iiis eyes, and it was discovered that within a very small space ho could sec any bright object. That eye has continued to clear, until be is now able to see luminous bodies at a distance, and can distinguish small bodies by bring ing them closo to his eye. Persons that he knows well, he can distinguish at the dis tance of a few feet, and it is hoped that in process of time his sight will so far im prove aa to relievo him f:om many of thc difficulties to which ho is subject. ? . ?. ? ? * a Tom has been seenprobably by moro people than any one living being, ile has played in almost every important city in tho United States and in a great many of the smaller towns-Paris and most of the prin cipal cities of England and Scotland ; and every Where hu has astonished and pleased those who have heard him. Those who have observed him most closely, arid at tempted to investigate him most fully, pro nounce him "a living miracle," unpar alleled, incomprehensible, such as has not been seen before, and probably will never be seen again. A Kew Kind of Mortgage. CIIAKLOTTF N. C., April 15. One of thu most r- markablo deeds of mortgage probably evor made waa put upon record in the register's office here. According to tho terms of this mortgage, Charles Didenover, an intelligent but impecunious man, conveys himself, and all right and title to himself to another, to have and to hold forever, to secure a debt ho owes the mortgager. The deed was duly witnessed, signed and sealed. Didenover is a married man, and there fore, under the laws of this State, bofore a man can convey any real estate his wife has to givo hor signature thereto, ac knowledged before a Notary Public or Magistrate. Althougn it is doubtful whether thc object in this case has the character of this property, Dideoovcr's wife waives all ot her rights, title and claims to him in favor of the mortgagee, and has signed a deed of conveyance, and acknowledged the esme'with all due form bofore a Magistrate. The cas?la ono of tho most remarkable ever known in this section, and attracts wide-spread interest. Jf a man can mortgage him self and convert his body into legal col lateral, it will open up a new class of security, which will bo bailed with great ?lcasure by many an impecunious man. f the legality of this deed is confirmed by the courin, it will not be a great while before Didenover's example will bo fol lowed by many hard pressed topers in the old north State. - A dispatch to the St. Louis Iicptib (iran from El Pa.?o, Texas?, dated April ir?, says: "Day before yesterday two voung Mexicans uamed J our ?que and Sanchez were shot and killed by Ameri cans in H difliculty about land about eight miles up the river from here.
