A SIGHT OF HORROR.
A SAP INCIDENT OF THE FLOOD IN
NORTH CAROLINA.
Following Close upon the heels of
i the appailing railroad disasters of Fri
day, conies the intelligence >f en oc
o„trene near Lincoln',on, Friday
night, which is hardly less distressing
in its character. Messrs. Michael
Hoke, Jacob Sumner nnd Harrison
Grice, younq. men of the town, were
crossing Clarke’s creek, which is just
on the outskirts and which runs e-
tween the town and Phifer’s
'he waters being very high, when the
boat which they occupied suddenly
capsizwd. Young Grice sank beneath
the waters and was se-in no more.—-
Messrs Hoke and Summer managed
to clitnh one upou each end of ‘h- cap
sized ci air, and in this way were floa
ted -apidly down st'eam. From the
point where the young men essayed o
cross the creek to tho mou h of the
same, where it empties into *he river,
(the south fork of the Oatawl a) the
distance Is a half mile,
and realizing that they would soon he
driven into the full current of the lar
ger st.eani, they agreed to catch upon
the branches of the first free to which
they were borne. Acco.di gly. when
they had been carried a quaere'' of a
mile down the river, in thedireetioi
of the opposite hank, and were borne
against a tree, they abandoned their
trail hrk and swung to the limbs,
while the boat, relieved, M its weight,
shot from under them like an arrow.
Mi. Hoke lodged high up among
the branches, Mr. Summer below him,
and in this perilous situation they
hung suspended hy the arms, calling
lor help, which did not come, and’talk
ed to each other about their peril nnd
the probabilities of escape from thnir
frightful surroundings. At *i.h end
of at. hour Mr. Summer said to his
companion that he could hold out no
longer . that he was growing weaker
and weaker afid would have to release
his hold upon the limb. “Take care
of y iirsvlf.” w*ra the last wolds he
uttetel, and then he sank and the
waves closed over his already almost
lifeless form. Tlis companion did nn T
see him when he disappeared, for the
night was dark, lut their converse
tion was suspended and he knew that
lie was gone.
Thrr.iijrhout the long watches of
that awful nigl.t, from 9 o’clock tin’il
7 testerday mornii g, Mr. Hoke clone
*o the branches of the tree, the water
using nearly to his arm-pits, and his
whole frame benumbed with cold.—
Shortly aher dayligh' his cries a’trac
ted perso. s to the tank, arid finally,
after long hours of fearful waiting, 1 e
was rescued and (nought to shore
al’Ve and well.
News of the drowning of Messrs.
Grice and Summet soon reached the
town and during ye-terduy the river
banks were searched as far down the
stream as High Shoals, eight miles
below, hut up to 3 o’clock in the after
noon no trace of either body could be
found.— Charlotte Observer.
A CONGRESSMAN'S LOVE STORY.
Mr. Conger, of Michigan, ha# a love
history which is very remafkable. He

Tweoty years after he, a widower, w is

asked him to call Upon her t he

ELDER AND PREACHER.
A CASE ALMOST WITHOUT P ARAL.
LEI,—TROUBLE IN THIN HURCHES.
Shklbtvillk, Ind., Nov. 10, 1877.
The annais of Bhe|,>y county ali'ord
no pmallel t. the lawsuit now being
tried in the Circuit C uit in this city.
The Rev Francis M. Pollltt sues l > r< j
D. 1 >. McGaughey on a note for $lO,-j
| 000 >nd the trial of the issue has
consumed the entire week, The
Rev Frauds M Pollitt is a Camphel
ite preacher, who has pu.stied his ho*
ly cubing for a number of years. Fie
is about sixty yeafs of age, tall and
slender, and hi general aspect that of
a man of great determination. He
has a tami y consisting of seven
grown daughters. In the duplicate
capacity of physician and minister, lie
has occupied a high social position.
D'. IVfcGanghey is n physician of this
county of forty yerrs | ractice. He is
an Elder in the Presbyterian Church,
and one of the most iiifluenti4l men
of his section. Hitherto he has borne
an excellent ctiaracter in every re
spect. Polliti claims that this no*e in
suit was executed under tho following
circumstances: In IHGS the'defendant
McCaughev cine to him and told him
that he was in great trouble: that his
son. Dr. M -Gaughey, Jr., was then
absent in MLsnuri, having flod
the country on account ol ef trouble
with one Ann Edwards: that he de
sired to get the buy hack, and could
do so if Pollitt would let him havo
SI,OOO to pay this gib! or her friends.
Poilitt replied that hecoflld borrow it,
nnd promised to try. Pollitt thereup
on borrowed the desired amount at
ten per c t, and reloaned 'h some to
Dr MrGaughej at fifteen percent
On another occasion,according to Pol
litf’s statement, McGaughey came to
him nnd sraf'ed that lie had become
involved in trouble Localise of the fact
that the wile of one George Spurrier
charged him, Dr. McGaughey, with
having seduced her upon h promise of
fleeing the country with her; that up
on a certain night, r.fter sho had te
turnei from the insane asylum, this
worn oi i Hinfl to a place whoie
McGaughey wa-. and asked him to
coniiilv with his promise. MoG.iug ey
infusing, the w man went Lack h me
and hanged herse); i>, the smoke
house.
Pollitt furthers avers that George
Spurrier, sinfte that time, havi g a
full kno ledge of the fac'ff, demand
ed money ol McGaughey a : different
bmea, insi-ting upon $2,500 under
pet altv of exposure In bin trouble
McGaughey mine to Pollitt aid a*ked
h in to raise tl e amount for him, which
the plain'iff nays ho did t>y borrowi- g
for the purpose, relhaningi to the de
fendant and chaiging the latter fifteen
per cent, interest, In addition In the
sum of money above alluded to, Pol
l>tt claims that on other occasions he
I' aned him money, atone time SI,OOO,
and shortly aftei $1,400. more which
Mims eventually, at fifteen per cent,
interest, aggregated the $10,(WO, for
which the note in suit was executed
It seenn. that the partiea met bv ap
poictmem at RushviJle on the 27th
of July, 1879, and, ocnording to Po>
litt, ms'le a calculation on the no'es
that had ’ tym given and metgid the
whole in tie $10,00'! n e, the sma le>
notes being surrendered to Mi.Gaugh
ey.
As for McGallghey, lie admits he
execution ol the not ’,jat the tiin all t
places alleged, but avers that it wa
giyen under duress, and that thffe
was no consideration whatever to suj
port it. He says that onMie 25th day
~f inly, 1876, Dr. Pollitt tame to his
office in the town of Morristown, acg
ry and evtied, and fold him that he
t>ad a short time previous, preached a
sermon on the doctrine of confession ;
and that on his return home his wife j
had confessed to him that she had
beed guilty ot adulteiy with Inui (Dr.
McG. ugheyt twenty ye rs ago. Pol
litt added that one or two things
would settle it, SIO,OOO or loose bi
life. Pollitt then gave him three days
to raise the money. They agreed to
meet in Rusl.ville, and the sg*eemect
was carried out, as detailed above.
This evening the jury returned a
verdict for the plaintiff, awarding him
a judgement for $11,303.77. A mo
tion was made for anew trial.

FOR LIFE
For some time past the people
about R.chwood, in Union county,
iave been disturbed by a wild beast,
believed co be an escaped iionoss,

aunnal whh first discovered by Macom
-Starnats. He saw it in a hunch of
gias-, and got upon a stump, rifle in
hand, to get a belter look at i , when
tiie animal -suddenly leaped out, and
in two bounds was upon his buck, and
'linnst snipped nira of his clothing.—
He gave such a yell that (he animal
was frightened away, ll*. describes
it ir. these words: “It could jump like
the dovil, and was in size between an
elephant and a cat.”
The next man who saw il was
Joseph Cathill. He was walking
along a thicket just at dusk and the
animal sp ang from the hushes, and
would hove tom him in pieces hut for
the assistance of his bulldog. He es
caped with a lacerated head and
shoulder.
Albert A 7 alfac7 had the nexf encoun

near his house hy the harking of
dogs, amd went out,- supposing that a
coon had bedn chased up a tree. He
had hardly reached the thicket when
the lioness leaped out and caught' him

“Have vou some real nice hose?
The gentlemanly clerk answered.—
“Yes, madam. We have something"
very new ; something in the way of

jjiu” and “Pheni*;” and he began to
pull down the various sorts “Hew
do these soi', madam ?”
The lady examined them closely
and, as was her usual custom, frond
nothing that pleased her. Baid eh©:
“Gh, dear! I want something lon
ger than those. Haven’t you some
that are longer? I—ah—l’m sorry to'

“Ah, rertainlv,” said the salesman.

“These aro not enough. I want
something -I—ah- yes, something s

The clerk knowing the lady could
pot be soiled, remarked as he placed
the hose back into their hoses:
“They have some very long hose at
the Phoenis Engine House; it you'd
apply there, you might ”
But the lady had left in disdain.
