Burkhead, Ksq., recently delivered a lecture be fore Mount Olive High School. His subject was "Insensible Education," or education that we obtain without being consciousof .it. We learn that tha speaker presented the subject of nlucation fn a new light, showing ,sthat all are teachers and all are pupils whether they are found within the walls of the Academy or not. We are 'influenced by all things with which we come in contact; and to make noble and happv children, something more is needed than merely to fill their minds with the rules of Syntax or Arithmetic. He illustrated his subject by most forcible examples from His tory and practical life. ' It is what a pian does and not what he says that shows his character to the world. The nian who sings Psalms and quotes Scripture, will still be classed among sinners if he, takes advantage of an op portunity tq cheat his neighbor. It Fas a very entertaining and thought ful address, and made an impression on the minds of those who heard it. A petition has been forwarded to Col. W.'J.

We learn that one night last week thieves entered the residences of -Mr. C. T. Carroll and Mrs. Wilson, in the Northern part of the city, and took therefrom all the edibles to be found, together with dishes and other ar ticles. Vegetation has made rapid pro gress under the genial influence of the delightful weather of the past few days, and Goldsboro with its splendid shade trees and numerous flower gar dens is beginning to assume its' usual summer beauty.

At a meeting of the City Democratic Executive Committee, held at the Gregory House, on Monday evening last, the time for holding Ward meet ings for the nominations of candidate for Aldermen was changed from Fri day evening to Tuesday evening of next week.

Henry Smith, of Greensboro, Dr. Johnson, of Winston, Dr. Harding, of Graham, and other Presbyterian ministers, passed through the city Tuesday en route to their respective homes from the recent session ot Orange Presbtery at Wilson. Henry Lee, Esq., has accepted an invitation from the ladies to deliver the address at the Memorial exercises on the 10th of May. While not. a pro fessional man, Mr. Lee is a pleasing speaker and we doubt not that his ad dress will be in every way worthy of the sad and hallowed occasion. Oh, those horrid printers! They harrowed our reelings in the last issue by making us say "most strongest," instead of "most strinerent." Well, we will have to grunt and bear it this time, but we shall keep a sharp look out to avoid a repetition of their on slaught upon our sensitive nature. The Boston Star Concert Company who gave such a delightful entertain TTmnt here a few weeks since, will visit our city again on Saturday the 8th of May. We teel quite sure that tney will have a rousing greeting, for no other entertainment has criven such universal satisfaction this season. The company is composed of splendid tal ent and clever people. At about a quarter past four, on Tuesday morning, the machine shop ot Mr. O. K. Kand, near the northern limit: of John street, was discovered on fire, with the flames making rapid headway. The alarm was promptly sounded and in response thereto the two fire comnanies and a larere num ber of our citizens hastened to the scene, but it was too late to save eith er the building or the contents The origin of the fire is unknown. The loss is estimated at about four thous and dollars with insurance to the amount of two thousand. Mr. Rand is a clever and industrious gentleman and has the-sympathy of our people in the heavy loss which he has sustained the savings of years -swept to des truction in an hour. On Tuesday night some miscreant stole part of the rope f attached to Messrs. Sol. Einstein & ;Co.'s awning, and, a few nights previous thereto the rope to Mr. John T. rEdmundson's awning was eut. Such acts are aggra vating and we would caution our po- lice to keep a sharp Jdok out for these nocturnal marauders, 1 for whether done feloniously, maliciously or mis chievously, the practice should be stopped.

Our farmers are planting cotton this week. Several completed last week. Our merchants' spring goods this y ear- are handsome and attractive.

If left to the town vote hopes of a prohibition triumph is entertained. The Spring Opening of Miss Jessie Webb's millinery at i Mr. Simeon Wooten's, will be quite a hat ovation, which comes off the 3rd bf May. All our ladies are respectfully invited to call. Miss Webb's selection this spring, resulted in the! most superb stock of millinery of any former ones in the same line, ever! ordered from here. There is certainly no need for our ladies to purchase from other towns, when we have such a splendid millinery establishmentlin our midst. THE ATHLETIC GAMES, ; At Davis School- Sjecond Day. WTe have already given the result of the first day's game at! La Grange. Our "itemizer" has kindly furnished us with the following account of the second day's sport. A good crowd was out Saturday morning to see the base ball games, which resulted in a victory for the 2d nine. Saturday evening thd programme for 2d day was executed and an elo quently worded, concise prelection was delivered by Rev. Geo. W. Sanderlin at the close of the gamesj, in the pre sentation of the prizes to j the success ful competitors, in which; wit and hu mor sparkled against thejdeeper back ground of theory. The following is the result of games, and prizes won : The 440 yards dash by J. H. Flow ers. Time, 1 minute, jo seconds. Running shoes. ; Throwing base ball by JE. A. Sugg.

On Wednesdav, the 7th inst., it was much to our pleas ure to witness the closing exercises of district number 3G, known as ihe C. L. Gurley school, and under the gen eral supervision of Miss Charity E. Atkinson, a 3Toung lady of your city, and one of fine talent and cultivation. Although a very short time was taken in making preparations, yet we knew there would be a "rare treat in store' and at 8:30 p. m., the exercises commenced with that old familiar song, "Ho! for Carolina," which will never cease to be sweet music to the ears of every true Carolinian, after which came music on the organ by Miss Minnie Edgerton, and Mr. Editor, were it not for taking too much space in the columns of your valuable pa per, we would give the full programme, containing thirty-eight well selected pieces, but we fear this would be too much; and we hope to be pardoned for especially mentioning a few of those pieces we enjoyed so much. Mr. Rufus Smith, as a specimen of western eloquence, acted his part well, and was responded to by loud cheers from the attentive audience. Mr. Willie Pearson, as tist Minister" (now we do "The Bap not wish to go back on the Baptist. Oh, no!) was certainly good. "No sir, 7 by Miss Lil lie Wiggs and Mr. Bob Woodard, were really fascinating, and created a round of applause. "Don't Run in Debt," bv Mr. Char lie Gurley was excellent, and listened to with marked attention, but the good advice he gave was too serious for many smiles. "The City and Country," by Misses Minnie and Lou Gurley and Emma Cuddington was just splendid; all do ing full justice to their parts. The Borrowing Neighbors, by Miss Emma Cuddington as Sister Green, and Miss Ellen Baker as Sister Freshours, was the funniest thing we heard, and decided to be the best piece on the programme. Ihe young ladies acting their parts so well renected much credit both on hemselyes and teacher. Those of the juvenile class deserving special men ion were Misses Pearl and Pattie Thompson, Lizzie Wall, Master Ma rion and George Lynch, Tommie Gur- ey and V lvian Woodard. The whole affair was good, sjufnee to say the best we ever witnessed in the country. The children ail did well and we congratulate the teacher upon her success in making the entertain ment one so much enjoyed, in the short time devoted to it. MARKET 11EPOKTS. New York, April 20.
