So serious arc the indications OF failure OF '
the grain crop of the middle region of the East e
ern part of the state of North Carolina, that IN
one of the most productive and substantially :,
wealthy counties (Wawen) we perceive pub y
lie meeting has been held, at which the very i
respectable Judge Hall presided, and other gen
tlemen of the first character were present, the j
object of which was to take into consideration
the alarming and distressing situation to which
many of the citizens of the county are in danger
Of being reduced by the calamity OF tamtne, ap- t
parenty impending. A subscription was OPEN
cd for the relief Of those entirely dependent on
the crop for bread, and committee was ap-
pointed to report further measures, to be acted
upon at future general county meeting

prospect Of abundent crops has been 50 hat

when we look abroad at the distress which
exists, and is alarmingy increasing, in many
parts of the globe. we feel gratitude and
thankfulness towards the Supreme Ruler OF


events, that our lot has been cast among the

and continues to exist, Throughout tue poor


and abouriug class of people, tor want OF

prosperity had withdrawn its cheering rays

illustrious forefathers, and sanctioned and
