The Oxford Baptist Sunday School goes on a picnic to-day at Harris’ Chapel. Much damage has been done in various parts of the State by the late heavy rains. The papers report snow in Pittsboro and other parts of Chatham Co., last Monday. Judge Philips has not before visited Oxford in his capacity as a Judge. He has impressed the community as a firm and impar tial officer. The entertainment at Cozart HftH last week for the purpose of raising funds to improve the Ox ford Methodist church, wap quite successful. Quite a number of wagons are on our streets this week. To bacco is coming to market in quantities and selling for satis factory prices. The Commencement exercises of Jonesboro High School will be held May 24th. Rev. J. J. Renn, of Henderson, will preach the annual sermon, and Hon. Geo. M. Rose, of Fayetteville, will deliver the annual literary address. There was an extraordinary fall of rain throughout this sec tion of the State last Sunday night. The streams were much swollen, fences were swept a^ay, and in some instances domestic animals perished in the flood. Farming operation are much re tarded. Two capital cases have been tried at the present session of the Superior Court. Four days were consumed in the trial of Major Peace (col’d) for rape. He was acquitted. Robert Hen derson (col’d) was tried for the murder of Frances Henderson his wife, and found guilty, The next session of the Uni versity Normal School will open June 21 and close July 25. Hon. M. A. Newell, LL. D., Superin tendent of Public Instruction in the State of Maryland and Prin cipal of the State Normal School will be Superintendent. The faculty will consist of a full corps of able and experienced teachers, among whom will be Prof. E. P. Moses, Superintendent of the Goldsboro Graded School. The Durham correspondent of the News and Observer writes; The Baptist conference is in ses sion here, and the city is crow ded with ministers, delegates and visitors. Their meetings and discussions are very interesting. Miss Painter, the lady evangel ist, is conducting a series of meetings at the Methodist church, and from all appearances she is accomplishing great good. Her meetings are largely atten ded, and considerable interest is being manifested. The 266th session of the Or ange Presbytery met in Greens boro, April 18th. Rev. D. I. Graig was elected moderator. Commissioners to the General Assembly: Rev. D. I. Craig and Rev. J. L. Currie, and Ruling El ders, W. S. Primrose and Dr. L. B. Spencer. The Presbytery has six candidates for the ministry, and another was received under its care. The Home Mission work received special attention. An adjourned meeting is to be held at Company Shops 23dMay. The next session is to be held at Tarboro, November 8th Rob’t. Henderson, the colored man who was this week convic ted of the crime of murder, in the Superior Court of Granville County, is about twenty years old and presents quite a youth ful appearance. He is well built and has an intelligent counten ance. The murder was comj mitted last October on the farm of R. T. Elam, Esq., in Tally Ho township, the victim, Frances Henderson, being the murderer's vife. On Tuesday morning a jury was iiupaneled and the trial proceeded in due form, Maj, T. B. Venable acting as So licitor represented the State,and J. W. Hays and N. B. Cannady, Esqs., by the appointment of His Honor, Judge Philips, appeared for the accused. The jury was composed of nine white men and throe negroes. Two whole days were given to the investigation, which was conducted with pa tience, fairness, diligence and ability. On Wednesday night at lOJ o^elock, the jury after an ab sence of two hours returned a verdict of “Guilty.” During the trial the unfortunate prisoner presented an air of stolid indif ference, but was seen to smile more than once at some remarks of the witnesses. Yesterday morning at 10 ; 30 o’clock the prisoner was brought into Court, for the purpose of receiving the death sentence. Mr, Hays.of counsel for defence moved for a new trial; the mo tion was overruled, and Judge Philips in a deliberate manner, with solemn and well chosen words, announced the judgment of tlie Court. The day of execu tion was fixed on Friday the Ist day of June. BRIEF THOU&HTS. Sia within betrays the heart to the outside assailment. Noboby can come between us aud God but ourselves. Temptation is never dangerous until it has an iuside accomplice. Sorrow for sin is the golden key that opens the palace of eternity. A single grateful thought to ward heaven is the most effective lirayer. EDUCATIONAL. A significant but melancholy comment upon the value ot the work actually accomplished by the much valued Boston schools is foundiu the tact that aprominent lawyer, who wished a copyist, re cently was forced to reject a large number of applicants, who had graduated from our high schools, for the simple reason that not one of them could spell common words even tolerably.—Boston Courier. killed his wife. He is overwhelm ed with grief.—News and Ohs, Au evil speaker differs from an evil doer only in the want of op portunity. We should persevere in the way of duty, though it cost all that is dear to us. There are many people whose whole wisdom consists iu hiding their want of it. An honest man is believed with out an oath, for his reputation swears for him. A man is sometimes more gen erous when he has a little than when he has much. In religion as in friendship, they who profess most are generally the least sincere. i If you would learn self mastery begin by yielding yourself to the one Great Master. If we attend well to our own af fairs, we shall not have time to superintend our neighbors’s Trouble and perplexity drive one to prayer and prayer drives away perplexity and trouble. A silent hour under the stars may whisper to your soul great' thoughts of eternity.—B&o. J. N.' Mulford. I find the doing of the will of God leaves me no time for dispu-; ting about his plans.—G^eor7e Mao Donald. i He that hath the ear hath the hand of God; and prayer moves the hand that moves tho world. The highest duty of every man is to look after the perfection of his own Christian character, We were sent in this world not to clamor for happiness, but to do our part iu a life-work. Look on slanderers as direct enemies to civil society; as per sons without honor, honesty and humanity. | Biessed are the homesick, for they shall come at last to the Fa ther’s house. Time mnstj,be heavy, as those who carry it sixty or seventy years nearly always stoop under its weight. Inch by'inch the struggle ot sci entific jealousy, national vanity, of human genius against the fatal ity of laws and things which bind it, has literally been going on and still goes on, euch successive triumph of art suggesting a great er triumph reserved. False teachers have much to an swer for, perhaps in another world as well as iu this, by exciting the prejudice of Christian culture against true science which is a part of religion. If the good people were half as wide awake aud earnsst to do their duty, as the bad are to do their dirty work, we would not see the wicked iu power aud laughing at “goody, goody people” on the outside. It is a touching and mighty thought that now, before the edu cator, the great spirits and teach ers of our immediate posterity creep, as the sucklings of his milk- store—that he guides future suns, like wandering stars iu his leading strings. And it is all the more important because he can neither know whether he has before him, to unfold to good and evil, a de mon to humaaity, or a protect ing and light giving angel, nor can foresee at what dangerous mo ment of futurity the magician, who, transformed into a little child, now plays before him, will rise up against him.—Richter. Professor Tyndall set aside the proceeds of his lectures in this country to found a fund to aid ca pable American students of phys ics who moiy wish to study in Ger many. The original trustees were Professor Joseph Henry, of Wash ington; General Hector Tyudale, of Philadelphia; and E. L. You- mans, of New York; but, as the two former are dead, President Barnard, ot Columbia College, and Professor Joseph Loveriug, of Harvard University, have been appointed m their places. This fund now produces enough, to af ford a moderate support for two students. “Yes, boys are a tiresome lot,” said a Louisville teacher, “and they try our patience to its limits. We don’t flog them. Sometimes we can make a boy ashamed by talking to him ; other boys, again, are too coarse to feel shame, There are times when only ridicule is of service in guiding a youngster. There are some boys so sensitive that you have but to point your finger at them aud they recognize their fault. Some boys, after the grossest disobedience, and after they have been severely repriman ded, are as ready to come and ask a favor of me as if nothing had happened. Such children are of the coarsest type. In extreme cases a boy is sent home and for bidden to return, except with his parents, and sometimes a bad boy is suspended. As I said before, there is no whipping.” MISCELLANEOUS- A Michigan farmer heard that music would prevent bees from stinging,and he tookhis accordeon, and went out and sat down by the hive. Only forty-four bees had got a show at him when he jumped into a lake. Daniel O’Connel once met a con ceited literary friend,and exclaim ed, “I saw a capital thing iu your last pamplet.” ‘‘Ah! what was it?” he asked eagerly. “A pound of butter.” ‘‘When I wath a little boy,” lisped a society man to a young lady, “all my ideath in life were thentered on being a clown.” “Well, there is at least one case of gratified ambition,” was the sliar^) reply. City belle, meeting country aunt: “OI am so glad to see you! Come and see us next week, do, for I’m going to have a German on Thurs day.” Aunt with ^severity: “Not I, child, I don’t want to see any of the family that’s going to make a fool ot herself by marrying a for eigner.” There are some people who wear the deadly iiistol in the hip pocket by day and under their pil low by night. These are the peo- who shoot in a moment and then regret their folly a life-time. A poor follow in Montgomery, Ala bama, hearing a noise in his room, having his pistol handy, tired aud It is a jileasure to'Tioro the growth ill reputation of ■our schol arly North Carolinians who have found congenial employment else where. Among them is Mr. Wal ter IT. Page, ot the editorial staff of the New York World, who leo- turetl in Boston on Tuesday eveu- . His subject was “The now South as seen by a Southerner.”— Rews and Obs. A book agent, who had retired from active labor on the hard-earn ed accumulations of a life of iiidns- tnous cheek, says that the great secret of his success was that when he went to a bou.se Avhere the fe male head presented herself, he always opened by sa\iug, “ ‘I beg your pardon, MisS, but it was your mother I ivanted to see.’ That always used to get ’em. They not only subscribed tor my books themselves, but told me where I couli find more customers.” The Wilmington “Review’’ says: Dr. Chas. W. Dabney State Chemist; was in the city a day or two ago, exam ining the phosphate finds near here. At. Capt. J. W. Nobles’ place about two miles from Wilmington on the Old Newbern Road, a formation was shown him which seemed to interest him very much. He is, we understand, to send some one hero in a short time to make a thorough examina tion of the phosphate beds. We learn also that Dr. Dab ney was here with a view of carrying out a theory of liis own in connection with the beds ” Down in Bertie county! there have been discovered, BIr. Paul Lincke tolls us, sev eral skeletons, a number in fact in a great mound. This mound is nearly two hundred, feet square, andjof considera ble height. ' The skeletons; are those of an aboriginal race,' and are of gigantic size, being' those of persons who in life were from seven to nine feet high, it is said.—News and Ohs.. The Rev. Dr. MacFarlane, late of Erskine Church, Glasgow, aud now of Loudon, having in company boasted of what he had done in the way of improving his^congregation by missionary' and other operations, an old lady who liad.""fieen listening with much apparent interest to the enthusiastic diatribe of the glow ing divine, during a short lull in the conversation, very quietly interposed the remark, “Eh, Doctor, but ye hae muckle need to pray for humility.” When you quote second-handed profanity with gusto, it shows that you would use it at first-hand but for the looks of the thing.
