RAILROAD RDMORS.-It is rumored here that several very important railroad changea are shortly to take place. It is said that that portion of the Hue of the Oharlotte, Columbia and Augusta Rail? road, between Columbia and Augusta, is shortly to be detaohed aud anuexed to tho Wilmington, Columbia and Augusta j Railroad, which will then have an un? broken line from this oity to Augusta, and over which Hon. R. R. Brid gera j will be coutinned in oharge aa President, as also of the Wilmington and Weldon Railroad. It is also said that Col. Bridgors ic rapidly completing arrangements for a through transit, without change of can from this city to Baltimore, the trip to be made at a considerably reduced tone dule of time, and, we suppose, also a re? duction of fare. And the third,rumor is to the effect I that tho through trip to Baltimore is but an earnest of what we may expect at no very distant day, when it is con? templated to run the same cars all of the way through from this oity to New York, the trip to be accomplished in twenty-four hours. If this should be ' done, and if the fare should be reduced I all along tho route, it will greatly faci? litate all business operations. J Wilmington Journal. THE POBLIO MEBTINO A FAILURE.-The meeting announced for salesclay, to send delegates to the State Oonveution, which meets on the 11th inst., was so thinly at tended that it was deemed expedient to take no action. One cause which pre? vented some from attending was tho lateness of the hour at which the meet? ing was called, owing to tbe length of time oouenmed by the sheriff and tax j sales. Many others did not attend, aud we presume they were largely in the ma I jority, because they shared with us the feeling expressed two weeks ago io these I columns, that the call made for a State Oonveution was ill-advised, and could result in no good; that we ought to keep away from Baltimore, and bave nothing | to do with the Presidential question. I Carolina Spartan. Mr. Beunett died io tho absonce of ! his wife, Bon and daughter, who wero in Europe. There was not one he could j oall his own, to "return his look of suf? fering with tho regard of sympathy." Tho sou nnd daughter are expected to arrive from Europe during the week; in the meantime, tho body will bo pro served in ice, nnd the funeral will take j place on their arrival." DABI! D?MOLITION-WOMEN TAKING THE LAW INTO THKIB OWN HANDS. Daring tho winter and spring, much ill feeling bas arisen at Long Swamp, Suf? folk. Gonn ty, on account of a oertain dam hnviug been built by a former of that locality. The laud thereabouts is very flat, and at best the drainage of the dis? trict ?B very imperfect. Those who have done most to fer meut the bad feeling contend that the building of tho dam has greatly injured their property on ac? count of the backing up of the water, which beforo found un unobstructed outlet. It is also stated that the locali? ty, in oousequeuce of the formation of the cnuatnrul pond, is moro unhealthy. But whether these were thu true reasons or not, tho women of thu neighborhood determined to take the matter into their own bauds, and ouo day last week, ar? rangements were mudo to do a big thing. Just us the gray tingo ou the Eastern hills bespoke tho dawn of morn, ladies might have been seeu coming from nearly overy farm-bouse within a radius of two miles. Those near the locality of the obnoxious dura hurriedly proceeded thitherward, while those at a distance Blurted iu wagons ami nil kinds of vehi? cles for what wau to be the scat of war. Most of the women, from their general appearance, were maidens. Every ouo woro u thick veil, closely covering their features, dresses either short or tucked up, uud stout bootu with thick soles. On arriving st the dam, shovels, boes, picks, crowbars and the utensils so often used by tho stronger arms of tho men wore eagerly grasped by from 101) to 150 irate women, aud the work of demolition actively commenced. As the water com? menced to pour through thu dam, thc work of the feminine mobiles was ren? dered more easy, and by sunrise, ?lOO acres of water had disappeared. What course will be pursued by tho owners re? mains to be seen. The rioters claim that the unhealthiness of thu locality since the building of tho dam wus nulli oient warrant for their summary proceed? ings. [Long Island Weekly Review, May 17. A WONDERFUL GUN.-The Middle? town (N. Y.) Press gives an account of a rifle, iu vented by Mr. M.L A. Merriam, of a most extraordinary character. It sent a ball through forty-two inches of solid pine and eight inches of burnlock, and again through eighteen inches of solid oak and nineteen inches of solid pine. An interested spectator was a lumberman, who furnished the material for the target, on condition that he should receive double ptice in case the experiment failed, but nothing if it proved a success. He succeeded in los? ing his lumber. Science bas been proved to be a gainer, lt might be added thut Mr. Merriam says he has sent a ball with bis rifle a distance of over two miles. Lead balls cannot be used, melting be? fore they leave the barrel. The missiles are octagon in iorm, and are made of composition. The report ia louder tiran that of an ordinary gun, but the recoil in not heavy; in fuat, this little cannon does not "kick." If such arma had been iu uso during the war, trees would have been no pro? tection lo the cowardly officers or pru? dent pickets. Mr. Merriam ?B also tho inventor of other valuable improvement? in mechanical art. He has a patent on bis gun, .and has refused 8500 for this single piece. The secret of its power lies in the peculiarity of the powder- 1 chamber, which ie larger than the bore of the barrel, which is three-eighths of an inch. Its leugth is about twuuty-five inches, and the whole piece is very light. The halt used was a conioal oue. and weighed 135 grains; tho powder, Hazard's electric, and the charge was 210 grains. The editor remarks that this was done in the presence of a number of gentle? men, whoBe names are given, aud that there was "no cheating." SNAKE STORY.-Tho Savannah Repub? lican relates the biggest snake story of the season. It says that a few days since a gentleman of that oily having some business to attend to across the river, went over for that purpose. While over there, standing in the marsh, near a pool of water, he noticed that something was going on in it that one is not accustomed to seeing every day, and on investigating the splatter that was being made io the water, found that a very large moccasin and a good-sized catfish were having a terrible fight. The occurrence was highly interesting to him, and he got as near ns possible to see what would be the end of it. The com b?tants wem fearful? ly in earnest, aud terribly euergetic iu their efforts to annihilate each other. The cattish would make darting passes at the snake, always using his nus to stick his antagonist with, and tho snake, on the other hand, would have to be equally energetic iu keeping clear of the I sharp points of the catfish's flus. Thu moccasin would throw himself into striking position, aud i trike very fast, in order to be equal with thu frantic surges of the catfish. At last, the catfish, in makiug a pass at the snake, stuck his sharp tin somewhere in a tender part of the snake's belly, and tho moccasin in turn clinched the catfish in the back part of thu neok. lu this positiou both an? tagonists ohing to each other until they were dead-tho poison in both seeming to be equal. Tho. tight lasted uhout twenty minutes, including tho last clinch of the contestants. PODLIO MEETINO.-lu response to the call of "Mauy Citizens," a largo con? course of our puoplu met in thu Court House yesterday, to take into considera? tion the present pol i ti cal si t nat ion ot the country, and to determiuu what part of the role of honor Hurry should piny in tho coming drama of thu full campaign, that will either seal thu destruction of our country, or place us within thu cir? cle of thu wand of tho Ootldcss of Li? berty.

Loudon, with a population of 3,500,000, still grow? rapidly. Tho number of births last year waa 112,535, against 80,332 deaths. The estimated increase of population between the middle of 1871 and of 1872 is 48,719; so that the natural in?rense was supplemented by about 16,000, representing the excess of immigration over emigration. The birth-rate in London in 1871 was equal to 84.5 per 1,000 persons, being 0.5 below the rate for all England. Tho birth-rate, says the 7?mes, varies re markably in different sections of the population, depending much upon ages, proportion of tho sexes, conjugal condi? tions and social position. The death rate ia London iu 1871 was 24.7 per 1,000, being 2.1 above tho rate for all England; exclusive of tho deaths from small-pox, the London death-rato would have been only 22.3. As it was, tho rate of mortality was higher than in uny your since 1866, when' cholera was ?pi? d?mie. The male death-rate of London in 1871 was 26 6, while among females it was only 22 8; at the recent census there were 113.7 females living in Lon? don to each 100 males. In 1871 there were 2,594 deaths from violent causes iu London, '2,138 of them from negligence or accident, including909irom fractures and contusions, amoag which are 208 deaths canoed by horses or vehicles in tho streets." Among the deaths by negli? gence or accident are 490 from suffoca? tion-nearly all cases of infants; there wera 109 oases of murder or mon slaughter-nearly all of them oases of infanticide. GRETNA GREEN.-The palmy days of Gretna Green exist only in tradition. No dashing coach and four, with its ex? hausted postillions and weary horses, comos from over the border, carrying the gay gallant and his ludy love, safe atlast from the pursuit of the angry father. And tho lust of its priests bas also de? parted. Old Simon Lang has just died at New-ou>tle-ou-Tyue, aud been buried in Gretna Green Church-yard. For eighty years, Simon Lang and David Lang, bis father, officiated as priests, and helped thu needy captain to secure the coveted heiress, or the daring ad? venturess to bind her chains upon ber duped prey. David, the father, married Thomas, Lord Erskine, in his old ego, to his mistress, Miss Sarah Buck, and netted thereby tho sung little sum uf 8800 as a mun iago fee. In 1827, Simon Lang succeeded tu bis office, outlived oil his competitors, and saw the golden days of old Gretna decline. He conti? nued tu claim the right tu marry until the end of his life. About twelve mouths siuce, be went through probably tho last marriage ceremony be ever performed, in complete dishabille, having nothing on but bis shirt and drawers. The reason of this unwonted exhibition was that the parties reached Gretna from Dumfries by the mid-night train, and, like all foud lovers, could bruok nu delay. So the priest was aroused from his slumbers tu do duty at a moment's notice. The Dead Sea being without nu out? let, evapurntion is the only escapo uf the water puuring into it by the river Jur dan and some other streams. Each brings into that extraordinary reservoir, which is a depiession iu the earth's crust 1,300 feet below thu water level of the Mediterranean, nn immense mass of materials which must at last fill it np, when 'the Jordan will then run on be? yond and find un outlet to the sea, if the world remains in its present physical form long enough. Thu Jordan wafts duwn ninety cubic yards uf water every secoud. Each day, it carries in six and a half bushels of salt, liberated from rocks, oa its pussage, ia each ninety cubic yards. Therefore, that dreadfully salt, bitter reservoir has nearly reached the point cf saturation. When no more salt can bu dissolved, then it will accu? mulate un the irregular bottom till it reaches quite near the present surface. Its future will have quite us nindi inte? rest fur coming ages as its past history. MERITED DISTINCTION. -The well known Groton Junction, on tho great thoroughfare of the Northern lines tu Boston, bas ceased to bu. With a large bod increasing population, prund as well aa prosperous, ita citizens, iu ma-s meet? ing assembled, have voted tu change the name of their town to "AYER"-after oue of the best known men iu America. Dr. J. C. AYER, of Lowell-and the Le? gislature of Massachusetts has enacted that deciaion into law. We commend their choice, fur not only is tho name short and distinctive, but Dr. AVER'S Medicines have made it gratefully kuuwu to the ends uf the earth. Prubably uu living man has carried relief tn .such countless multitudes of the sick us he, aud this liigh honor, from his neighbors, tells thu esumutiou iu which be is' held by those who know him.-Bristol Times. Attempts at suicide may be expensive; and nothing can bu moro ridiculous than fur a mau tu pay the oill out nf his own pucket for cutting bis uwn throat. This happened tu an unfortunate fellow lately, nt Iowa City. Ho, tu muko mat? ters sure, nut uuly Hovered his wind pipe, but slashed the arteries uf bis writ ts. L'lien three doctors took him iu hand and stitched him up, und insisted upon his living; and sn live he did, tu receive from thu high-cost doctors a bill nf 8300. He Said that he wouldn't pay it ; but tho KUW-buiiCH brought au action against him, and the judge and jury said that pay bo must. Tho poor man will probably refrain from such luxuries iu future.

A wealthy baker in New York has gone to some expenso in having n cout-of arms invented and emblazoned for him.
