Watkins, representing tie wholesale Boot and Hhoc store of Currier, Sherwood A Cos., of New York, gave ns an advertisement, and in our local columns we gave the house and himself a notice, which notice was seen and n ad by a North Car olina merchant who was traveling through this country solicitin'.; orders for tobacco, hunted up Maj. Watkins and paid him a large stun of money, thus saving to the house more than the amount of the adver tisement in that singe- in dance in the sal iug of time and traveling expenses neces sary.

The genial qu ilities and business qualifications of Mr. Walker will always secure him a situation in a first class house, and the fact that lie represents a house is a sufficient guarantee of the reliability of the bouse. We do hope that our liquor dealers will furnish their customers a pure artiel, if drink they will—which they can always do through Mr Walker. Whale llir. .Mutlrr llminxli. We stated in our last, issue tJmtour nn-r --ehants were in as good condition ns any merchants in the State; in other w r-l .r meant to assert that they were a. , rum, i as merchants elsewhere. We m!-- ■-■ I, the same issue that the-merchants Si vannah declared that they didn’t wish t, - sell goods now during the. panic. We understand from that that they don't wish to sell on time. Now, if it is true that our merchants are as we stated prompt in their payment —ind the jobb rs of Savannah and other cities are not win' - ing to sell goods, we would like to know “why it is that onr town is so frequently visited by agents, or what we call drum mers, and why do they stay so long. If our statement is correct in reference to the promptness of our merchants and the statement of merchants of Savannah and other cities is correct in reference to tlieir disinclination to sell goods, these frequent and protracted visits by tlieir agents or drummers is to our mind paradoxical. We had no inclination to misrepresent the statusof our merchants nor have we any disposition to mislead parties at a distance iwho deal with them. We were acting in good faith. If the merchants are prompt and the drummers don’t wanrfo sell, their frequent and long visits are mysterious and we fear Hannah is ailing and we •would like to know what is the matter. We take pleasure in saying the merchants whose advertisements appears in the In dependent are perfectly solvent. We feel it ur duty thus to speak for our pat rons when we e in do so truthfully, and for them drummers need not trouble them .selves, every payment will be made. We think there is something wrong but don’t know what it is but we do know we “schmeil von leetle mice.

The Grnn<l Jurors empanneletl for the regular term in November last, hav ing fully investigated the condition of the public buildings, the books of the county oHi rials, ami thoroughly scrutenizing the financial affairs of the county and made report thereon, the present panel have found its labors very light and agreeable. We deem it necessary to revise the labors i of our predecessors. We fully endorse the recommendations ; contained in the G.mural Presentments of lust Grand Jury in reference to the dis* tribution of the pauper fund of tin county, and we recommend that D.

We would also ask that the Road Commissioners of the county he re lieved of the ‘Tlnle Nisi” which was sued out at the regular November Term of Court. The roads are in reasonable good condition. Wo would suggest, however, that His Honor Judge Harden at the work ing of the roads next Spring have cross ings for pedestrians put over every stream where they are needed.

A Capitalist's Seclusion. One of the marvels of metropolitan lift* is a case now on trial in tin* Harrogate Court in New York. It is the history of an importer who timing twenty-live years curried two millions und an honorable rep utation, anmoved day by day among bis business aequainlanee as a wealthy bach elor, md yet night after night went to his home in an obsmv quarter of the city to meet a lady who claimed and was acknowl edged to be his wife, aud a few neighbors who knew him under an assumed name and neve r dreamed that he was a imi liommire. George Hardin was born in the early part ol this century near Belfast, Ireland, and enme to this country in his twenty-first year. He established himself in business in this city as tux importer of Irish linens, and subsequently became the agent of a Belfast house. Doing business alternately in William, Pine, Broad and and liberty streets he prospered and grew ; rich. Those who had buwineHS dealings with •him know nothing of his private life; his chosen comrades in serial life lmd no j knowledge of his busiues relations. He ! reticent, retiring, frugal, almost penurious; his business acquaintance supposed tliut | he was a rich old bachelor, und few of them knew where he lived. He finally retired from the importing business, and increased his fortune by buying commercial paper naff making investments in safe securities. His circle of acquaintance was very* large und he was well known by leading Irish residents, and yet for nearly twenty-five years lie lived as a married man under an asKsumed name in an obscure street in the Ninth ward. In 18-18 a gentleman fifty years old, and a ludy twenty yeurs younger, leased n plain two-story house in Cornelia Greet. His landlord and his neighbors knew them its Mr. and Mrs. Walker. A young man named Searles, with Ins wife and two boys j occupied the second floor of the house for a year, and afterward kept up the ae- i quaiiitaneo. Mrs. JHnn, living across the street, and a few otlu rs, j visited them, but they seldom made or re eieve.l calls. In the directory his nanm was recorded as “Georj.- Walker.” IU purchased the lious**, and liv. and there with j his eon ij; in ion until his death. On the morning of March 7, 1872, Geo. Walker’s few acquaihtune. ssaw with anmzi - ment the announcement that Georgiv Har- ! din had died ut No. 22 Cornelia street, and j soon after the funeral they hoard with in - j creased wonderment that their old friend, Mrs. Walker, who had lived ho simply and ! plainly among the m for ."to many years, had applied for letters of administration on the j estate of George flft’din, which consisted rnainlv of personal property worths2,(MX),- (MX). The administrator- in such eases are forced to give bonds for double the value of the personal estate, but, as this was out j of the question, the Surrogate placed the; securities in the hands of the United States Trust Company, and then granted the let-; ter of administration. At this juncture j six nephews of Mr. Hardin, residing in Bel.- i fast, interposed a claim that the lady was j Mr . Walker, and not Mrs. Hardin -his ; mi- r ks, and not his wife. As Mr. Hardin had loft no will, one half of his estate be longed to this lady, if she was his wife. ! There have been several sessions of the Surrogate’s Court in this case, and addi- j t’onal testimony will be offerred to-day. The contestants, through Burrili, Davis A* j Burrill, are attempting to show that it was 1 not a legal marriage; the lady, through K. • H. Corbett and the Hon. Jno. K. Porter, maintains that it was.

Cotton was lively and sales were made with hut few questions asked at an advance. Eastern spinners and English buyers through orders and their agents, wen: in the market taking offerings liberally. This was a propitious tign, and had its j effect in other market products. There is ! now a contsuued hope that there will bo i no more disturbances, Made to “See It.” “T can’t see it,” said Buffer. “Nobody reads all these little advertisements. It’s preposterous to think it‘” “But,” said the editor, * ‘you read wlmt, interests you?” “Yes. ” “And if there’s any thing that you par ticularlv want, you Jook for it.” “Gertuinly.” “Well, among the thousands upon thou- 1 sands w ho help to make up this busy world of ours everything that is printed is read, i Sneer ns yon please, Ido assure you that 1 printer's ink is the true open sesame to all the business success.” Aud still Buffer couldn’t see it. He didn’t believe Unit one* half of those little crowded advertisements were ever read. “Suppose* you try an experiment,” said the editor. “Just slip in an advertisement of the want one of the most, common things in the world. For the sale* of the teG 1 give it two insertions five. Two will be enough; and you may have it jammed into anv out-of-the-way nook of my paper you select. Two insertions, of only two lines Will you try it?'’ Buffer said of course he would try it. And he selected the place where would have it it published- crowded in under the head of of “wants.” And he waited and saw a proof of his advertisement, which appeal'd as fol lows: Wan tod A good house dog. Apply to J. BUFFER. r>7s Towaer st., between the hours of J a, m. and ‘J p. in. Buffer w lit ;;w.i v smiling and nodding. On the following morning In* opt ued his paper aiid.aftera ileal of hunting,he found his ad vortisemeuk At first, it did not.seem at all conspicuous. (Yrtuinly so insignificant a paragraph, buried in nuch a wilderness of paragraphs, could not attract notice. After a time, however, it began to look more noth e hie. to him. The mere lie looked at it the plainer it grew. Finally it glared at him from the close-printed page. But that was because he was the person partic ularly interested. Of course it would ap pear conspicuous to him. But it would not be so to others. That evening Mr. Buffer was just sitting down to tea (Buffer was a plain, old fash ioned man, and took tea at six,) when his door-bell was rung. The servant announc ed that a man was at the door with a dog to Hell. “Tell him 1 don't want one.” Six times Buffer was interrupted while taking ten by men with dogs to sell. Buf fer was a man who would not lie. Ho had put his foot in, and lie must pull it out manfully. The twenty-third applicant was a small boy with a girl in company, who had a ragged, dirty poodle for sale. Buffer bought the poodle of the boy, and immediately presented it to the girl, and then sent them off'. To the next applicant he was able truth fully to answer : “Don’t want any more. I've bought one.” The stream of callers continued until near ten o'clock, at w hich hour Buffer locked rp and turned off the gas. On the following evening, as Buffer ap proached his house, he found u crowd as sembled. He counted thirty-nine men and boys, each one of whom had a dog in tow. Then* wi re dogs of every grade, size and color, and growl, and howl. Buffer addressed the motly multitude, and in formed them that he had purchased a dog. “Then what d’ver advertise for ?” Aud Buffer got his hat knocked over his eyes before lie reached the sanctuary ol ins home. Never mind about the trials aud tribula tions of that night. Buffer had no idea that there were so many dogs in existence. With the aid of three policemen ho got through alive.. <>n the next morning he visited his frieml the editor and acknowl edged the corn. The advertisement of “wanted” was taken out, and in the most conspicuous place, and in glaring type, he j advertised that he didn’t want any more dogs. And for this advertisement he paid. Then ho went home: ml posted upon the j door -“Gone into the country.” Then he | bin and a special policeman to guard bis property, and then he locked up and went away with bis family.
