ANDREW JACKSON.
Something About Hix Early Life in
North Carolina.
Rev J. Rumple, in Salisbury Wa;chmuu.
Foremost among the distingash-ed
men who resided lor a season,
in Salisbury, was Andrew Jackson.
The reader, acquainted with his
public career as a soldier ami 1;
sti.tesn.au, will not object to a bii-1
account of bis early liic, aid
especially o; his sojourn in Saos
bury. In 1705 Andrew Jackson,
with his wife, .wo sons, and three
neighbors, John, l;-. .■•!. and
.1 iM-jiii Crawford, emigrated from
Carrickfargus, Irelai:-!. to America,
and settled iu the '■ Waxbawa," on
lhe boundary between North ami
South Catoliua. While some of
the compauy settled on Twelve
Mile Creek, in Mecklenburg (now
Union) county. North Carolina Iu
the spring of 1767, Andrew Jack-son
died, and in a rude farm wagon
bis body was carried 10 the Wax-haw
church and deposited in the
graye yard. The family did not
return to their home on Twelve
Mile creek, but went io the house
of Geoige McKsD:ie, a brother-in-law,
not far from the church, and a
quarter ol a mile from the boundary
of tli- Stales, but in Noith Caro-lina.
There Andrew Jackson, the
younger, was born, (he night .ifter
bis lather's funeral, March 15th,
1707. Evidence for all this, most
conclusive and convincing, was
collected lr, Gen. Sam'l II. Walknp,
0! Uuion county in 1898, and may
b.; louud iu the first volume' of Par-ty's
Lite of Jackson. Three Weeks
alter his birth, his mother removed
with the family to the residcoce of
her brother-in-law. Mr. Crawford in
South Carolina. Here Andrew grew
up, wild, reckless, daring, working

acquired the rnu .ueuis ol a-i Eng-lish
education, and perhaps a little

only Bitteen years old at the close
of the Itevolotion, young Andrew
Jaekson took part in seteral skir-mishes
and other adventures in his
ni-ighbu.-uood. At the close of (he

Mr. Spruce Macay, along with two
fellow students, Crawtcrd ami Mi
Fairy. The render may remembei
this little office on Jackson ptreer,
as it stood until four years aj;o. iui
mediately in front of the residence
ot the lion. Nathaniel Boyden.
Partou describes it as '• a little box
of a house, fifteen by sixteen leer,
and one s'orj high," and built of
"shingles," i. e., a framed aud
weather hoarded h;;nse, covered
witn shingles. This little house
was purchased by an enterprising
individual and earned to Philadel-phia'n
the centennial exposition,
iu 1876 8s a speculation, though i:
pioved 10 be a very poor invest
meut. While Jackson certainly de-voted
a good part ol his time to
study, yet he was no doubt, as Par-tou
describes Uim, '• a roaring, rol-licking
u-i.ow. overflowing with
life and pints, and n juicing to eu-gage
in all the tun thai was going'"
•He played cards, fought conk*,
rau horses, threw the ' long bullet'
(cannon ball, slung in a snap, and
thrown as a ttial of stteiigih) ear
ned off gates, moved out-houses to
remote fields, aud occasionally in-dulged
in a downrigbl drunken be-baueh."
Upon a certain occasion
the (hree lawstodents and their
friends held a banquet at the
era. At the conclusion it was re-solved
that it would be improper
that lhe passes and decanters thai

Statistics of American Care-lessness.
There were received at tbe_Dead-
L tiei Office during the fiscal year
ended June 30, 3,353,051 leltr-r*
and packages, ot which in round
number 2.700,000 were sent from
local postolfic-s because unclaimed,
200,000 were held lor postage, 202.,-
000 were misdirected, 36,000 bore
fictitious addresses, aud over 9,000
were not directed at all. The re-ceipts
at the Dead Letter Office
also included about 60.000 letters
relumed Irom hotels, the persons
addressed having left for other
places, and 94,000 letters and pack-ages
returned from foreign coun-tries.
The great mass contained
nothing o( value, and over two
million letters and packages uf this
description were destroyed, ibe
senders nol being found, of the
remainder, 21,974 ot mined drafts-cheeks
and note." valued at $1,5.0-,
217, and 26,264 contained money
amounting to 140,438. Host ol the
property has been returned to the
owners. A small amount, low-ever,
is s: il! in the custody of the Depart-ment
Some 806,IMX) letters were
opened and returned to the writers,
am! 364,000 weie returned without
opening, in consequence of the
name- oi addresses of tbe senders
appealing ou the envelopes. A
curious lact developed by a com-parison
of these figures with Hie
similar statistics ol former year-, is
thai the percentages of undirected
and unstamped letters are almost
exactly the same each year, these
evidences ol carelessness or iguor
ance keeping quite even pace with
;he annually increasing atncdnt of
general postal business. Hereatter
lull magazines, pamphlets and other
. like reading matter received at tbe
D "ad Let'er-Office, will, instead of
i being sold for waste paper, be dis-
; tributed to charitable and relorma-
1 tory institutions iu aud around the
Ihaiiuual capital.
