Wells, of Shelby, N. C., late of the First North Car olina Volunteer Infantry just re turned from Cuba, was in the city yesterday. Lieut.

He says all Cubans say “Habana” and pro nounce “Cuba” as if it was written “Cooba.” Uncle Frank Northey was eighty- four years old on the 2Sth of last month, and is in good health and bids fair to pass many more of Times’ mile posts.
