Fro.nhe nn of our Devil A True Frog Story. Many curious things happen daily, but never bdore have w e heard cf a bull frog eating a hole through an iion pipe Nor do we now asseit that such was the fact -in the present instance, all we can do is to state the faefs and ailow our readers to draw their own conclusion. It happened in this, wise: "Mr. John Wiggins, as becomes h good and patriotic citizen, has a pipe connecting his stables with the city water mains. Some time ago it was noticed that the pipe was leaking but, "as the leak was' small, it was neglected trom time to lime. On S Uurd.iy last however, it was decided that a plumber be called, the leak located and stopped. This was done and the following is the story told by Mr. VV'ig gius: "Our main pipe ent rs the stables underground and the water" is conducted thereby to the water trough, the waste water runs off through a wooden box vihicli is buried immediately over the mam pipe, when we dug "down to ihe leak we found a rave about as big as a hushe! measuie, full of water, the pipe being completely submerged. We then cut off the water from the street and haih-d out the hole, when behold found an immense I ull fr g. Af ter securing the frog we tuuud our attention again to the pi e and lound a sm.iil hole eaten through the pipe. Some people will jump to the conclu sion that there was a flaw in the pipe ul that the pressure of water burst the pipe, but this won't go as the hole was found at a coupling, the coupling was cut as well as , the pipe. My theory is, that the frog was in some way covered up when the pipe was juried and that he got thirsty and commenced an attack upon the pipe which alter many days was success ful." We don't know that Mr. Wjggins is correct but we do know that the pipe was cut as above described and further fhore we have the piece of pipe in our office to how any one that may le inclined to doubt the accura cy of our statement.

Some of our boys went out to the seine hole, on Friday Iat, to enjoy a fish fry. A seine was carried and men familiar with shad fishing. It was not long In-fore a dozen beatiful white shad were in the hands of the cook, and, in an incu t'itably short time that crowd were looking for- -more bones to pick. Two of the party were deputised to try the temperature of the water, by taking a swim across the stream. season. Everywhere else we hear reports of clubs being started and think that Wilson should not be behind, even in the matter of ball playing. Wilson at one time had the brag club ol Eastern Carolina. In the time ot the "light weights" .and "brown stockings" we were some pumpkins.

Branch Co., Bankers -have ic placed their old brick walk, with a rice new one, but we are grieved to report that our worthy townsman, Mr. Howard was content to follow the bad example set by the Mayor, They said it was not very cold, but ' and simply "patch up' the old walk the rest ot the party did not think it necessary to prove their assertion false, and so a motion was made to have a meeting of the fishing club and arrange for a renewal of last sea sons pleasant meets. All those who were so fortunate as to attend a meet of the fishing club last year will be looking out tor another invitation. in front of his stores. . Ever since the olden days such practices have Leen held up as baneful. You will remem ber the caution about "putting new wine into o'd bottles," and what might be expected, even so is it with those who will put new bricks into old walks. lHttt'liarir.. tin- Police. . i It seems that we have been labor ing under a false impression. We were old foggy enough to think that these blue coated, brass buttoned gentry were intended tojzv'tr the citizrtis of the town and Dreserve good order. It seems, however, that their only office is to draw their pay ind that they are vested with no authority, not enjoyed by an ordinary citizen. If this indeed be the case why need the citizen be taxed to have a set of policemen walking round town, when in case of a disturbance the police 'must first le found then be made to understand the emergency, after which he may saunter oft leisur- ly and get a warrant and perhaps get back to the scene of the difficulty after the participants have concluded to cease hostilities and go off and get a drink. Officer I Iarrell was tried and con victed Monday of an assault upon the person of J. L Mayo. The evidence was to the effect that on Saturday last an auction was being conducted at the old stand of S. ' R. Tyson & Co. Mr. Mayo being present and a !lMflflHm Kt-MltiH!.-. One ol the handsomest residences in town is now being built by Mr. Douglas Hackney on the corner of Nash and Spring Streets, when com pleted it will 'add no little to the attract iveness of the town and as it is between the depot and the business portion of the city, it will come under the view of every visitor tp Wilson. There is no telling how much this may mean to the to am, first impressions are often the ones that take the deepest root, some stranger may be strolling up the street while waiting for a delayed train and may thereby be induced to stop over and examine more care fully into the many advantages of the town, and finally decide to locate here. Wilson like every other insti tution requires jjew blood occasion- 1 lie First. Kilting; Fxcu rsitm . The Wilson fishing club wet out to Wiggins mill Tuesday for their first firvhing frolic of the season. Messrs. Gibbons, Bobbin and Hargrave drew the seine. Mr. Hargrave after about five minutes in the water decided that his services might be dispensed with and so went ashore and put on his dry clothes, but so much interested was he in the fun, that he got into a boat so as to be near the boys, after SHoiiucIi'm Silver TilU:r. As advertised Mr. G. T. Stronach had a drawing on yesterday morning to determine which of his many cus tomers should be the recipient of that handsome Silver Tilter that has been on exhibition at his store for some time past. Mr.Stronach takes this means of ex pressing his appreciation of the liberal patronage that the people of Wilson have accorded him. The lucky number was 304 and was held by Mrs. Hugh F. Murray. Away back in ihe sixties Whann's Plow Brand was intro duced to the planters in this section, and because of its superi or worth and many excellencies as a fertilizer of high grade, it has for thirty-five years continuously taken the Jead of all fertilizers, until now it is recognized as the King of Guanos.

On Sunday last Mr. Ernest Mere dith was coining down Vance Street at a brisk rate on his wheel when, as he reached a point near Maplewood avenw, he saw a woman some yards 111 advance. He rang his bell and the woman stepped up to the fence whtre she would have been all secure but alas, like Lots wite she must needs look back, and when she did became frightened and attempted to cross over to the outside of the pave ment but there is a certain law in physics which forbid two objects oc cupying the same place, at the same time, and the wheel was already in posessiun. Consequently there was a collision. At first there was a con fused heap and then th.e woman nse in the air about five feet?Tnd sal down suddenly in the sand. Meie dith rubbed the skin off his nose against the root of a tree and the wheel was left in undisputed posses sion of the field. Fortunately no one was seriously hurt but we think it will be safe to guarantee that all hands will be more careful next time. April FooIh.

Serious Ac:clItir. On Saturday last Mr. Abrams was on his; way to his farm when his horse took freight at some object in the road and ran away. Mr. Abrams was thrown out and quite seriously bruised.
