Shad arc worth $1,25 a pair in Wil mington. Evart's fee for defending Beccher is twenty-five thousand dollars. The Attorney General says the- legis lature cannot tax dogs—as dogs. Robert Austin has been treasure* of Edgecombe county for thirtyeight years. - , • . A negro named John Miller froae to *lcath, in Rockingham Jail during the irecent cold weather. The State Grange l'atrons of Hus bandry will assemble iu Raleigh to-mor row. W. H. Harrison, ex-Mavor of Ral eigh, was stricken with paralysis on last Tuesday, and is in a critical condition. The Atlanta Herald is after Hon. Alexander H. Stephens. Its criticism is severe, and Ave cannot sec, but just. Judge Euro, of the Ist District, has decided that a man who lias not paid his taxes cannot act as a juror in a criminal action. John Reese of Greensboro died on the morning of the 26th nit. lie was known to many of our people as the proprietor of the Planters Hotel. Cleavland Denmark, a son of S. 11. Denmark of Goldsboio, lost both his legs by attempting to jump upon a in oving train. Another warning. Daniel Foust, an old and respected ci* tizens of this county, died the 25th nit., at his home in Newlin township. The old gentleman was well up to about a Week before his death. The Wilmington S tar says tho signs are that the Grant faction will die ot Pinchback. and go down to history as the Pinchback Administration. Prof. Kerr, of Raleigh, wants to know where there is an orchard of Morus Mullicaulus. He wants food for silk worms. The Charlotte Observer says that the work 011 the Carolina Ceutral Rail way , between Buffalo and Shelby is progressing finely. There are five hundred and fifty-two convicts in the penitentiary; and many more expected from the Spring term of our courts, The anniversary of the birth ot "Wash ington passed almost unnoticed. Has lie ceased to be first iu the hear ts of his countrymen ? Sheriff Hunter went to Raleigli last week to carry John Harrison and Jack Byrd sentenced to the penitentiary by Judge Kerr, at the recent term of our Superior Court. Rev. J. C. Hiden lectured, on las t Wednesday night, on "-The New Science," in Wilmington. The Star says his effort was listened to attentive ly and highly appreciated. The committee appoiu/ed by the leg islature to locate a bra nch Insane Asy. lum are looking around Statesville. The citizens claim that their town has advantages for tho location of the pro posed branch institution. Victor C. Barringer, reccutly of Con cord in this State, is Judge of the Court of Appeals for the Khedive of Egypt. He writes that he cannot act as agent for those seeking place in the military service of the Khedive. We shall not trouble him. In Greensboro, on Thursday last, a storm of wind unroofod the building in which are the offices of the U. 8. Mar shal, and Scott & Caldwell, attorneys. The roof fell inside and did great dam age but fortunately no one was injured. The occupants left their seats just K 4n time to escape being smashed with them. A citizen of Greensboro gives "*■ .ns toe facts as stated. -It may ,bo recollected that at the Spring term 1870, of our Superior Court Judge Touigee sentenced three negroes to the penitentiary upon their convic tion of paving, while {» disguise, whip ped another negro. Allen Paisely, a preacher, was sentenced for six years, Thompson and-rrr Albright for five each. Thompson died sou* eight een months since. Paisely died about the first of the year, Albright js still living and will eome out at the expira ofhis term in Juno. Several petitions asking the pardon of these prisoners numerously signed were laid before the overuor. No pardon' was evergrant- I Peter F, Holt, on Lis farm within a couple of miles of this place;"has just commenced working a gold mine. He has some machinery; but of course is not prepared to develop the full wealth of the mine. Cut with his imperfect facilities he has succeeded in getting an ounce of gold from ten bushels of the pounded rock and dirt. It has bc£ii long known that there was such a de posit at this location, but the extent of its wealth was not dreamed of. We have several gold mines in the county. I W« will have more to say of this. S. J. R. McMillen, anti-Administra tion Republican, was elected United States Senator from Minnesota, after a long contest. Ramsey was Grant's man. He retires, with many others who tied their fortunes to Grant. These men have been to Grant a kind of balance, or governor, as the engin eers would say.; and as ho looses them be plunges about as docs a kito on a windy day, when peace by peace it* tail is detaching itself. The Bristol, Va., IVeics, in making mention of the fact that eighty-five ex rebels have already been elected to the next Congress, says "they are expected to kill and broil for breakfast each morn ing a nice, tender, juicy, stall fed carpet bagger, pay the confederate debt, revive slavery, blot out the starspangled banner dig up the union •emetcries, pension confederate soldiers, legalize and arm the kuklux, and crown JefF. Davis emperor." Gen. Burndde, the new Senator elec; from llhode Island, made a speech be fore a post of the Grand Army of the Re public at Providence, on Monday, in which ho declared that he saw 110 canse for alarm in the election ot so many ex- Confederate officers to Congress, and that it was time for the policy of hate to cease. This encourages the hope that the Senator's course will be conciliatory and conservative. Two Vermont farmers induced their wives to join tho Grangers, and report to them that they might then join if they liked. The wives joined, and since the husbands have tried to, but can't. They are black-balled every time—two black balls. Tho wives attend every meet ing and vote upon all applications for membership. So many applications for divorce has been made to the legislature ot Idaho that one Mr. Paddock has introduced a bill divorcing all the married people in the Territory, and placing them in statu quo ante mati-imonium. This he says will save time, and those who wish can be remarried. The Hillsboro Recorder was fifty-five years old its last birth-day, the 20th of last month. It was established fifty-five years ago that day by Dennis Heartt. Sonic of our old people call it "Heartt's paper" to this day. tylay it live and prosper for another fifty-five years, aud may we be permitted to tell of it. " The State of Ohio makes over twenty two thousand dollars clear a year by her penitentiary. The convicts arc hired out, and the proceeds pay all expenses connected with the institution and this balance over. She hired out last year 678 couvicts. In the case of Shaffer against t>. A. Jenkins, Treasurer of the State, Justice Rodman, in delivering the opinion of the Court, very positively, holds the doctrine that a State cannot be sued through its officers by its creditors on refusal to pay their demands. The Washington Republican says "Piucliback bears his defeat iu getting into the Uuitcd States Senate with dig. oity, and shows no sign of leaving the party." Republicans do some timesleave when disappointed in getting office. Ed. Smith, a negro on the jury of the City Court iu Montgomery, 1 Ala., dur ing his term of service, stole some hogs was caught next day, tried and put in the chain gang tor one hundred days. The jury had to do without his counsels in their deliberations after that. Wednesday the 24th ult., was the warmest day in Wilmington, known in February since 1870. The thermome ter stopd at 78 degrees. So says the Journal. Governor Parsons, of Alabama, has been nominated by the President for Judge of the District Conrt for the Dis trict of Alabama, but has not been con firmed by the Senate. The Raleigh News says the heaviest wind storm of the season passed over Raleigh Thursday night last. Signs blown down, trees blown up and tele graphic news blown away. One Henry Smith, in New York, was sentenced to ten years in the peniten tiary, for swearing that he owned prop erty, in-order to go bail tor a friend when Henry, in fact did not own any^ Wilmington has an association of spiritualist. The members meet and discuss questions, pertaining to, or grow ing out ot their doctrino L N? doctrine was ever too absurd to have followers. 11l pursuance of an apt of Congress portraits of all tbc secretaries of war since the formation of the Government Imvo been painted and arranged in chronological order in the office of the "War Department at "Washington. To these were added, a few days ago the portrait of Hon. Davis, frho was secretary of war under .President Pierce. It is spoken of as an admirable likeness. If the pocplc of the South aro not per mitted to protect life and property; if all our efforts to pat down crimes, are to be used as pretexts for onr humiliation and ruin, then the people of the North will have themselves to thank for the universal bankruptcy and niln which will shortly come upon the whole coun try.—Montgomery Acvertiter. A wall of a building that had been baraed, foil through the roof of Saint Andrews Chwtk, in New York, while the congregation, mostly women and children, were hearing vespers.

The Senate of the Uuted States re mained in oontiunouß sitting for thirty hours, considering Finehbacks claims to a seat. That is receiving atten tion. In Chicago a meeting of Communists has been held to demaud a more equi table distribution of tho relief fund. All the troops in the city are in readiness to act in any emergency. The flood iu East Tennessee has been great. Trains on the Tennessee, Geor gia and Virginia railroad stopped. No mails over the route for some days.

The Legislature is doing a vast deal of business, disposing of bills and reso lutions at a rapid rate, The question of convention was to be called up yesterday for the purpose we fear of getting it out of the way. From the business being done it looks like the members wanted to go home. Every man is looking after his pet meas ure, for few it may be left unattended to. , WANUIKVTOIV CI TV ITEMS. Andy Johnson as Senator lias pre sented his credcutals. The River and Harbor bill lias passed both Houses.

The ousted members of the legislature aro to bo restored, and Kel logg tj bo Governor to the end of his term. ThcJlouse'remain* in almost contin uous session.
