Greensboro YorJcman: Friday night Mr. John McKnight, who lives 5 miles in the country, went to Holt's Chapel, where a meeting was going on. After services he got on his horse and started for home. The night was somewaat chilly and just when near Buchanan's hill, which is about four miles from this place, he made his horse go in a pretty lively canter. Just before he reached the hill his horse stumbled and fell on his head, breaking the horse's neck, and putting Mr. McKnight on a level with other pedestrians. Raleigh Visitor: J. Henry Yearby died yesterday at 3 o'clock p. m., at the residence of his father, Rally Yearby, Esq., aged 30 years. The citizens of Halifax ought, at the close of the Weldon Fair, transfer the ex hibit of such magnitude as to attract the attention of all the Northern news paper gentlemen and cause their sec tion to be well and favorably adver tised. The twenty-eight session of the North Carolina Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church opened this morning in the Cox Memorial Church on New Berne avenue. Bishop John M. Walden, of ChattanoOga, Tenn., presides over the deliberations. About fifty ministers are present. Wilmington Star: Grocers in this city dealing in oleomargarine or imi tation butter, say that they will give up the trade before the, first of Novem ber, when the new lav? in relation to its sale will go into operation. A great deal of it has been sold here, especially to the masters of foreign vessels sailing from this port, but the small profit made on the article is not considered sufficient to justify any one of the dealers in paying the tax of $48 per annum, to say nothing of the other objectionable features of the law, and so its sale will b,e given up altogether. If retailers refuse to deal in oleomargarine, of course the whole sale merchants will not handle it. A considerable advance in the price of genuine butter is' expected to take place at once. Richmond Dispatch: Thursday a curious case was tried at Pirtsboro, Chatham county, N. C James and Charles Johnston, brothers, were visiting their aged father last spring. After eating dinner together they went out doors and found their chil dren playing ball. They participated in the the fun. Charles took the ball and said playfully : "Jim, I'll hit you with it." James said : 'If you do I'll hit you," and picked up a stone. Both threw at the same time. Charles stepped aside, but directly in the way of the stone, which crushed the back Jas. H. Taylor, D. ti.

James replied: "You know I did not intend to do it : word to the sheriff that he would be present. Wednesday punctually at the time the case was called he ap peared. The case was giyen to the jury Thursday, and after a few min utes deliberation a verdict of not guilty was returned. STORM SWEPT. ' A Whole. Parish Under the Ra ging Flood. Over One Hundred Human Lives Lost. New Orleans, La., October 14. The destruction of Sabine Pass is complete. The river rose suddenly, and slowly creeping up the highlands, soon washed away every house, carry ing not less than sixty-five persons to their death. During the overflow, a hotel containing fifteen or twenty persons, was swept out into the bay, and all the occupants were drowned. The captain of a schooner from there says that not a house is left in the whole country and that every living thing was drowned. A party of men went from Beaumont on a train with the intention of joining the people of Orange and going down to Sabine Pass with a relief boat. THE STRICKEN TOWN. The town of Sabine Pass, at the mouth of the Sabine river, a little be tween Louisana and Texas, which was entirely washed away by the terrific storm of Tuesday night, had a popu lation of two hundred. All telegraphic communication with the town is cut off. Sabine Pass is sixty miles up the coast from Galveston, and twenty eight miles southwest of Beaumont, the county seat of Jefferson coun$y7 It is thought that the bar in front of town will prevent any tugs from landing, and the owners of the tugs here regard it useless to attempt to enter the treacherous channel since the storm. The list comprises over fifty human victims of the storm, among them some of the leading families of the place. There are others, and many of them, doubtless, drowned without any one now living knowing anythidg of it. It is feared that whole families in different places have been swept away without leaving a vestige of their fate. It is said that the situation during the latter part of the afternoon beggared description. Manifestations of terror and agony by the people, looking face to face at death and realizing that there was no escape, the cries of women andihl -but rendered almost noiseless 'by the roar oi tne maa sea, the hoarse voice of pallid men trying to save those dear to them, all combined make the scene too horrible to be described. Private telesrrams from Rean mnn r tnis property along Cameron parish, gulf coast, and for some distance west of Sabine Pass, by the storms of Tuesday night was fearful. The mail boat from Cameron parish reports that the water Calcasien Pass was eight feet deep at the light houses ; that the entire country east and west was sub merged Tuesday night, drowning thousands of cattle and ruining crops. No lives were lost at Leasburg or Cal -casien Pass, but the following are re ported last at Johnson's bayou : The entire families of Alfred Lambert, Marion Lukes, Geo. Striver, Charles Blanche Radford Berry and two families by the name of Tran and ware. Besides many others whose names have not been ascertained. WHOLE FAMILIES LOST. A special from Orange says the details of the destruction by the storm at Sabine Pass and Johnson's Bayou come in slowly. Two brothers named Pomeroy were picked up by the schooner Andrew Baden in Sabine Lake. They had been in the water thirty-six hours, clinging to their capsized yawl. Their mother and sister and Mrs. Captain Junker, her son and a little girl of the party were lost at the Porter house, where the people had collected as the best place of safety. It went to pieces at 9 o'clock. Many persons are missing. Still greater loss is reported from Johnson's bayou. Whole families were swept away. Not a house was left standing within five miles of the lake. Parties were organized last night and left on the steamerLamar and Emily P. with provisions and bedding. KINSTON ITEMS.

Lake Charles special says : Loss of The inimitable "Snow and Dennis," at Burt's Racket store. John Ebb, colored, was lodged in jail in default of bail, on the 11th inst., for entering the store of Ed wards & Murchison, of LaGrange, on the night of the 9th, with felonious in tent. We are reliably informed that but little over half of crop of cotton will be made on" the south side of the river this year. - Mrs. Fannie Whitehurst has re turned home, after an absence of two months' visit on the straits. S. H. Abbott is now delivering to Dr. H. Toll some as good brick as ever was made here. Work on Tull's hotel has commenced I in earnest, ;The brick walls are being run up. Geo. L.

Vance will be in Kin ston on the 20th, and not on the 30th, as formerally stated. Mr. Dayton Midyette, formerally of Kinston, bat now of -Richmond, Va., passed through the other day on his way to Snow Hill. Mrs. Mamie E. Chadwick is spend ing a few days in Weldon visiting her parents. I. B. Abbott, republican candidate for Congress in the "black district," addressed his fellow citizens in Kins ton, October 12th. He handled his opponent, O'Hara, roughly; and no doubt made many friends for himself. His speech was complimented by both friend and foe. The Prohibition Association was called to order on Wednesday the 13th inst. Rev. H. C. Bowen was elected president pro tern. There being so few in attendance, no business was transacted. On motion, the meeting adjourned to meet the first Wednes day in November. The horse epidemic has reached this place. The following have 4ost horses this week by staggers: W. C. Fields, one; J. B. Cummings, one; M. C. C. Lawson, two; W. L. Kennfidy, one; and B. J. Jones one. There may be others. Capt. W. S. Bird, our county super intendent of public instruction, spent Thursday and Friday, October 14th and 15th, here in the examination of applicants for teachers. He is send ing out a corps of as good teachers as any county can boast, and our educa tional interest will never wane or suf fer in such hands. We note the fol lowing young ladies have been exam ined and now have certificates : Misses Agnes Grady, Mattie W. Rountree, Ida B. Meacham, Medora Miller, Fan nie Harrell, Mary Taylor,Mollie Nunn, Lou H. Frazier, Nince L. Hardee, Nannie Loftin, MyrtieE. Taylor; Dar lie Moseley and Nannie Hardee. Thir teen ladies and ten men, making twenty-three whites, and seventeen male and seven female colored, mak ing twenty-four colored teachers. Capt. Bird has some rich cases to contend with. Below is a composition on Kinston, handed in by a colored female applicant. Kinston is a thriving little town in Lenoir county, It is bounded on the north by Snow Hill, on the south by Trenton und Pollocksville, on the east by Swift Creek bridge, on the west by Golds boro. The agricultural products of Kinston is cotton, corn, rice and wheat. Neuse river is situated on the west side of the town. It has two bridges, one near the park and another iron bridge one mile from Kinston. This iron bridge is one of the buxous bridges in the State. You see, Mr. Editor, that Kinston is some pumpkins. You must get out of the way and let our borders extend, we are coming with cotton, corn, rice and wheat. Pollocksville, Trenton, Snow Hill and Goldsboro must stand back and give ns room for our town continues to grow. era on physioloer," asked, "What is the difference between food and living flesh t" A colored applicant replied, it is "conductillity."

Cavalry came of in this place last Wednesday some twelve or fourteen were present. They had a delightful time. Dinner was served at Henry Archbell's restaurant. Plans are on foot for a reunion of the whole regi ment next year in Goldsboro. Wm. B. Lane, coalition candidate for the House, for Craven county, was in town at the soldiers reunion Oct. I the 13th.

Our candidates had everything i their own way. One fellow said, "they! had plenty to eat, drink and wear." The joint county canvass opened in Neck township on Friday. The Demo cratic candidates were pleased with the prospect in that section. We regret our townsmen Messrs. A. & M. Slaughter lost so heavily in the Hookerton fire last Friday. It is rumored, that another Kinston ian will soon be joined to the "Apron String fraternity'" soon. Success to you, old boy. Our town has been decorated with bills and posters of the Goldsboro Fair. The land suit of Ann B. Loftin vs. Josephine E. Loftin, moved frgm this to Greene county, has been decided in favor of the Plaintiff, Mrs. Ann B. Loftin. I Some scape grace, who neither fears ' God, nor regards man, has scattered tickets around, to 'Please everybody,' called the 'Lenoir's People Ticket.'
