Anna Dickinson, the great female lecturer df the North will hold forth in Raleigh soon, upon some bf the doc trines to which she is dedicating her life. The bridge at Clem C. Curtis, was repaired last week. Good crossing there now. You people on the other side bring us something to eat, and come to see us, and bring us" some wood, and subscribe lor our paper. CONSOLIDATION.— UncIe Bob Hanner has consoldated with W. It. Albright, at the Bason old stand. He may be found there, and has. now, goods to sell. Uncle Bob couldn't stand a small stock so he went in with Albright where he has around him a lull stock of every thing you want. He don't have time to whittle now. On Tuesday night, the 30th of March, the large stables and barn connected with the Hotel at Company Shops, were destroyed by 1 firo. The five occurred about 8 o'clock, P. M. There was, stored in the barn 011 the first floor, a quantity of lime belonging to Mr.Daniel Worth, and on the second floor a quan tity of hay. The horses were saved. How the fire originated is a matter of conjecture. The contract tor building the two bridges across Itaw River, one at Saxa pahaw, the other at the railroad bridge, has been lot to Messrs Ferrel and Neal of Chaham county. The one at Saxapahaw at two thous and six hundred dollars, the other at two thousand. The timbers are already being brought to the spot at Saxapa haw, which was the first contract let. Messrs. Ferrell and Ncal are energetic men and will push their work rapidly. We call attention to tlio advertise ment, of J. P. Gulley wholesale and re tail dealer in dry goods, ready-made clothing, boots and shoes &c., in ltal eigh. lie is doing a very extensive and rapidly increasing business. He issup plying a large number of country mer chants who say they can do better with him thau iu our Northern cities. They go and select, and thus save the ex pense of a trip, and the uncertainty of getdngjust what they want by ordering. His stock is complete, and what is of greater importance he is in every wayre liable. You may depeud upon his rep resentations. On last Friday, at Company Shops, Wilson Ray, colored, was up before Esquire Sellars for beating his wife with a lightwood knot. While the case was being heard Wilson took it into his head to leave the Shops. Jim Sellara, special officer in charge, objected. Wilson started and Jim started. Wilson was fired up and let on steam and mov ed off at a rapid rate; Jim following, bnt at less speed, and, seeing that Wil son had the heels of him, he stopped, formed line and opened fire: Wilson looked back, saw the danger, threw the throttle valve wide open and dashed on at a fearful rate and—was gone. Since the change of guage people are leaving the Shops hurriedly. Whether Wilson ■was suddenly seized with a desire to follow iu the track of those already gone we can't say. Everything is moving to Greensboro. A grand through line de* mauds it. Wilson may be there by this time. The last seen of him he was widening the guage. BUT A LANTERN:— Friday night was dark. Two of our young men .extended tfceir call. They fell into a ditch, and le#t a hat and a ring. Now what are tbey going to do about that ring? Is the one that lost it going to tell just how it was? Did they think any body was going to bring them a light? How would yon, h*te looked if a light had been brought, young man ? Just out o\ the ditch, wouldn't yon have cut a fig ure. What did you walk into the ditch for? You knew the way. You had no excuse. You had no horse to Jump and rare and pitch, And fling you in the muddy ditch. Are you going to yell for a light again, and disturb a neighborhood fust because you go stalking along and fall into a' ditch. Now here, you clean off those clothes an«l that hat and go and buy the girl another ring, a little finer one mind yon, than the one you lost, and hereaf ter be carefbl of your walk young man, becareftil of your walk! r OUTBREAK.— On Saturday^ 27th nit., three colored convicts who hud been en gaged at work near the eastern, limits of the city succeeded in making their escape under the following circumstan ces: The men were under the command of Mr. Ford, a regular guard, who had proceeded with the pisoners in a wagon to Walnut creek for water. When the wagon was about a mile from the city, Richard Battle, a leader of the revolters, dealt Mr. Ford a on the head with a hatchet, to the ground. I Battlevtnen cried out let's finish him, ! and again struck the guard in the head. Another prisoner seized the gun and attempted to tire on him, but being un acquainted with the use of the piece, was unable to shoot. The driver in the meantime ran off lo give an alarm, when the prisoners escaped. At latest accounts Mr. Ford was in a critical condition. A posse of men from the Penitentiary have been sent in pursuit of the crimi nals, but we have not as jet heard of their arrest,"— Era. ' The Southern Home says: Dr. Cyrus Alexander, or Cabarrus, is a grandson of Abram Alexander, President of the Mecklenburg Convention. lie is about 7o years old, a stout, vigorous old man, generous, genial, kind-hearted, patriot ic—a worthy descendant of an illustri ous sire. The children of Robt. 1. Mc- Dowell, Esq., are more intimately iden tified with the Mecklenburg Declaration than any other persons. They are con nected with that great event through the Brevards, Davidson, Jacks and Ir wins. The descendants of Dr. Winslow Alexander are identified with it through the Alexanders, Davidsons and Gra hams. There may be other families of whom we are ignorant that have this tripple connection. If so, would be glad to have their names. There arc, we believe#a number of families that have a double connection, for it was natural for the descendeuts of the "Whigs to intermarry. The Statesville Landmark says: On the 16th instant, Amos Church, who lives eight miles west of Wilkesboro, was burning coal half a mile distant from his house. His wife, about dark, put her children to bed, being three in number, the oldest of whom was five years of age, and went to carry Mr. Church his supper. She remained with her husband until about 8 o'clock, and on her return home, to her horror, found house, children and all burned up. The bones of the eldest, which seemed to have made an effort to get out of the house, were found near the door. The Wilmington Star of March 28th, says: We learn that a big buck darfcoy stepped in a saloon at Polkton on Wed nesday last and demanded his dinner, lie was told that he couldn't eat there. The darkey then began 10 curse around right and left, insisting on eating his dinner " right thar. " Several experi enced physicians, who have examined the case, think that ho wiil certanly get well in a few weeks. The ball entered the left breast and took ofl the edge of that darkeys appetite. The Wilmington Journal, from a friend in Tarboro learns that Maj. D. W. Hurt, of that place, has a calf that has a calf. The mother is not yet two years oid, and the little calf is nearly a month old. The mother gives a pint of milk a day over and above what is required for her dminutive offspring. The little fellow is about as big as a poodle dog. The Southern Home says that the Centennial Committee have invited Hon. John Kerr to be one of the ora tors at the celebration on the 20th of May. The other address will be de livered by a Tennessee orator. The selection of Judge Kerr as the orator on the part of North Carolina is a happy one. lie is one of our most gifted men and eloquent speakers, and will brilli antly grace the occasion. The Raleigh sew»*ays: Gen. Wm. R. Cox, of this city, has been appointed one of the Assistant Marshals of the * . •„ , Mt- Mecklenbnrg Centennial occasion, and we are pleased to know (hat he has signified his acceptance of the position. The Sentinel of the Ist says: Some scoundrel tore up the bridge at Gordon's crossing the other side of Hillsboro and it was only discovered in time to pre vent destruction ot the mail train and great loss of life. There should bo guards stationed at such places. The plantation of Mr. Solomon Pen der, in Edgecombe county, was left a complete waste by the Jjjrnado .which was particularly destructive in that county. 1 The revivals of reilgion at the two Baptist Churches, and at Person Street Church Ic Raleigh, are progressing with unabated success."' *•_ . ■ - - ■ —-—yr ,—:— The jail at Snow Hill, in Greene county, has been burned.

A case has just been decided by the Supreme Court of the United States, involving the right of worfUtn to "vote under the Fourteenth Amendment. It was claimed, that by that Amendment they were made citizens, aikl that all cit izens were entitled to vote, without re gard to the laws of .the State in which they propose to vote. The Court was unanimous in its opinion that the Four teenth Amendment conferred no such right. The case Avcnt up from Missouri.

The Mayor of Wilmington is holding over. The Journal and Star designate his Court as " The Usuper's Court." The recent tornado was very destruc ive in Warren county. One of the sweetest things about a young and budding love, says the Nor | wich Butlctin , is the way in which she ' will smooth the hair so gently off your -brow, and then smile as tenderly in your face and show that about, four of her back teeth arc gone. It cost the Shalt of Persia a little to buy a bonnet for his wife. There are fifty of her. One case with that num ber of new bonnets was sent trom Paris the other day directed to His Majesty at Teheran; - ;;; ; In New York, Mary Chamber! ayoe, aged sixteen, sued John F. Holmes, aged sixty, for breach of promise. She recovered six thousand dollars. That old man had better quit fooling, unless he means business.
