Miss Lula is a pretty brunette, fifteen years of age, and weighs, we suppose, about 120 pounds, She was first given a good sized hickory cane and then five or six stout .men grabbed it, endeavor- hand, ing to hold it still.

Hurst in this county, for tlie purpose o \v' 1 extraonlli powers posesed by his daugh ter, Miss Lula We told what our eyes had witnes sed—how by the touch of her hands a chair or other objects became vio lently restless and ungovernable.— We have reports now of mysteri ous manifestations about the Hurst household beside which those pre viously told smack of rather the di minutive wonder. We would be slow to record a statement of those mysterious occurences i f we were not assured of their truthfulness by as respectable and trustworthy peo ple as dwell in whole section, the young lady herself, her father and mother, her cousin, MBs Wimberly and her uncle, Mr. Clarence Wood, being witnesses. We are told that recently while Miss Lula was en gaged washing dishes she heard a rattling noise among some knives and forks lying on the table at her hack. On turning around she ob served a knife moving restlesly among the other cutlery. She watched it, and saw it ascend from the table, whirl Mn the air she uttered a scream that sent a thrill of terror over tlie entire household, and brought her father ' fip-'i excited and amazed from his own ' room to her side. She informed him that something had pulled her air twice in succession, and she knew not what it was.

They tried for a time to reconcile what they.had; seen with the powers of some known law when the reason failed untangling a single mysrery until at last they accept what they have seen as facts without explanation, as any other intelligent persons with like ex periences and after like considerat ions would do. They are naturally much torn up in mind from having witnessed these harassing not to say, harrowing sights. As a new year will be ushered in next week, there is one thing which no intelligent citizen should forget, that is to place his name on the list of his county paper, with a paid up subscription of one year The home papyr fills, a field which no city journal pretends to reach, he-, side it is the part of partiotism to support home industries.

North Carolina’s disposition of her con victs strikes ifiVas tlie best solution of this question.
