RIDGEJWAY ITEMs.-WVesley Wooten, Esq., livinig nalOlr Doko. 1had tIle mis fortunie to lose 111s barn by fire, con tauininlg all 11is fodder, hay, shucks, and a por'tion of his corn. A small colored boy about, nine years old, whose mnothier Mr'. Wobten~ employed, entered the building with a :tdrch about the hour o'f nooti, and deliber ately ignited a portion.of the hay,. apd ran out. Ini a few moments the buildl ing and its contente werd .cotisemed.. On hcnnestnednu ' the ati of this act, he replied as above. Whiat is the mode of procedure ii such a case? Whipping Post? Last Saturday a casual visitor at Iidgewav would have enjoyed the scene, and havo returned to his loue impressed with the idea that a city would one day, in the near future, beautify the graceful (there is always grace in curvature) banks of the Charlotte railroad. The little town was literally crowded with people and vehicles, the object of the first being to arrange for supplies, and the other, like supernumeraries on the stage, to bear oi' the burdens. Merchants are necessary evils to firiners-like young ladies to young ien-can't get along without theni, so we come up -in the spring time (of our life) to be shorn, hI a speech soie months ago, the lIon. Mr. iowitt remarked that from unmnis. Rkable indications which lie saw in the indon''table industry, 'economy and vim of the people, he v, . assured that a'tidal wave of -fortune, for all, was gathering itself up in the world' vast antechamber, and that soon it would cover the easte"rn and western: continents, as the waters conceal the space' them. When we look around and observe the numerous "clearings,' the large number of acres already prepared for planting and cultivation, the repairs. to'outbuildings and fences, the attention'to stock of all kinds, and to manures, we not only hope, but we feel the spirit of the propliecy.
