PI'BI.IC MBETINS IN GRAnAid'
Upon the reception of the news of the
death of Governor Graham the people
of this town, and the surrounding coun
try assembled in the Court House, on
the evening of the 12th Jnst., to testify!
their appreciation ofcthe exalted worth;
and respect tor the memory, of the dead
statesman. This was eminently proper!
Our town was named for him. The foil'
lowing proceedings were had:
We the citizens of Graham and viein.
ity, having received the sad intelligence
of the death of ex-Governor, William
A. Graham, do in accordance with our
projound feelings of sorrow, in view of
this providence adopt the following res
olutions ;
Ist. That we recognize in this event,
the dispensation of an All Wise God in
w hose acts we desire ever to aequi
erently submit.
2nd. That we recognize in liis death
a loss to ourselves ot one whose virtues
commanded our esteem and highest re
gard, and a loss to the State and coun
try at large, of one ot its wisest, purest
and most reliable counsellors; whose
ability and conscientious devotion to
the public good justly entitled liini to
the confidence and esteem of the bereav
ed and afflicted public, which now
mourn his death.
3rd. That wo tender to his bereaved
family our sincere condolence in thi s
affliction which falls heaviest on them.
4th. That these resolutions be pub.
lishod in the ALAMANCE GLEANER, and
that a copy of the same bo forwarded
to the familyjpf the deceased.
T. C. FOUST, Chairman.
J, T. CUOCKEK, Sec.
We notice the return of our friend
Rev D. A. Long, Principal of the Gra
ham High School, after an absence of
several weeks. The Institution ovci
which ho presides opens on next Mon
day, and we suppose the near abroach
hastened his return.
There never was in this counrty, if we
accept as true the theory thai old Noah
had his Yacht sail entirely on the other
side, so much rain. It is injuring the
low land eorn, is rotting tobacco, is dam
aging wheat and oats in the shock, and
is playing the wild generally.
KXeiTEffIKNT AT BEAUFORT
Clinking of a Steamer—No Livea Lost-
All Paaaeagera and Baggage Saved.
[From the Raleigh News.
On Monday morning at 5:45 passen
gers from the Atlantic Hotel, acconpau
ied by Mr. G. W. Charlotte, the pro
prietor, took (he little steamer Eureka
for Morehead City. About middle of
the channel the revenue cutter Craw
ford, Baily commander, bore in sight.
Each steamer like a bird through the
air pursued her regular course. Just
before reaching Morehead danger be
came apparent, and Capt. Hobhs of the
Eureka sounded his whistle twice,
which was a signal to bear to the right.
The Crawford answered and commenced
bearing as agreed on, but Capt. H. fear
ing the result reversed his engine and
commenced backing. Confusion now
commenced, as it was evident to all that
a collision must take place, and iu a
twinkle of an«ye the Eureka was struck
midship, with such a force as to nearly
shiver her to atoms.
Water commenced pouring in, aud
nhe began to Bink and went down in
four minutes.
Capt. Ed. Page, conductor of the A,
6N. R. R., was struck by a piece of
timber and knocked overboard. He
suuk and was' so long under water that
all (bought him lost. He flually floated
up some distance off, and when help
was tendered him he gallantly exclaim
ed, for God sake look after the women
and children." Capt. Baily, of the
Crawford, quickly lowered his boat and
took all aboard; as little hurt and as
badly scared set as was ever before seen
though not frightened with out a cause'
as the running of ten more feet by the
Eureka would have been 'destruction to
both boat and passengers.
Outof confussionCapt. C. soon re
stored order by "this way, gentlemen I"
He led them aft and set out a bottle of
fine old Hennessey and all drank (b his
good health, and refreshment* were
furnished the ladies.
Little Miss Oliver, of Newborn, had
her face somewhat bruised. Among
the passengers were Dr. Blacknall, of
the Yarboro House, Mr. and Miss Street
of Newborn, Mr. French, of New York,
Mr. Cobb, of Baltimore, and others
whom we did not know.
Not being a sea-faring man, we give
the incident as it occured, and leave
others to decide who was to blame.

| As was expected the remains of the
late Govoruor Graham reached Raleigh
on Saturday the 4th.. We take from'
the Notes a portion of the account, that
enterprising Journal gives:
TIIE APPEARANCE OF TIIE BODY.
The body was encased in a beautiful
but a neat mctalic casket, coverd with
black cloth and silver mounted. A]
trench plate glass top exposed litilf of
the body to view. A si.vcr plate on
(lie casket contained the plain inscrip
tion:
WM. A. GK.ui Air,
JDeid Aug. 11th, 1875.
Aged 71 years.
"We never witnessed a more natural
looking corpse, just as lie appeared iu
(life, with only the appearance ol having
lallen into a tranquil quiet sleep,
For the few hours the remains were
lying in state, the throng of visitors
never ceased, and even after viewing
the body the grid stricken citizens re
mained in the park to see the last of tlio
honored dead.
TIIE DErAHTL'UK.
At 41 o'clock, the procession reformed
at the East door of the Capitol in the'
satno order as before, preceded by the
I Citizens' Cornet and the Garrison band,
each playing alternately, moved down
Fayettcville, anil thence by Cabarrus
street to t ho Central Depot . A special
train provided for the occasion carried
tlhe remains to Hillsborough where they!
[Will be interred on Sunday, after regu
lar services, at 12 o'clock. The Raleigh
Light Infantry acting as the Guard of
Honor accompanied the body to Hills
borough.
The following members of the family
accompanied the remains: Mrs.} Gra
ham, wife of. the deceased; his sons,
Maj. W. A. Graham, of Lincoln, Capt.
James A. Graham, of Alamance, A. W.
Graham, of Orange, Col. Walter Clark,
(son-in-law) of this city, and Dr. A.W.
lvnox, New York, (a nephew of Mrs.
Graham.)
This has been one of the saddest days
known in the history of our city. Eve
ry one seemed to lbel and fully appreci
ate the irreparable Joss we had sustain
ed ia the death of this great and good
man, and everyboey turned out to do
him reverence.
As before stated his funeral will take
place at Hillsborough Sunday, we sup
pose at the Presbyterian church, of
which he was a member. We suppose
there will be a special train from this
city on the occasiou, but as yet we have
no information to that eliect.
