Recommended kou Postmasteiih, The Washington correspondent ol the News and Observer of the 2dth says that Representative White has filed at tho Postoflice Depaitment tho following recommendations lor postmasters in his district: C, P. Anthony, Scotland Neck; II. 1), Mayo, Littleton; 11. L. Karly, Aulander; D, W. Ilakcr, Lewiston, nnd Louis T. Hum), Windsor. The correspondent also states that Representative While, in company wilh dipt. J. P. Leach and Mack M. Furger son, of Halifax, called on tho Attorney General and urged the appointment of Judge Robinson for the judgeship of the Uastorn district of North Carolina. Cait. J. P. Leach During the re cent campaign Captain J. P, Leach, of Littleton, was a Palmer ami lluckner elector and claimed to bo a better Demo crat than tho Hryanites. Now we see it staled in the Washington correspondence to the News and Observer that Captain Leach wants to be United States Minu ter to Victoria and is being urged for the place by Representative White, of this district, Captain Leach is a gentleman wo all like, and we do not know that he has renounced the Democratic faith in asking to be appointed as an embassador of the United States to Victoria, but it is a little significant that the majority of the Palmer and Buckucr advocates appear to think the administration should recog uizo them along with the regulurs. PosromoE Chaniies For Halifax and adjoining counties the following changes in postmasters have been an nounced: Alice E. Hurt, vice W. R Harvey, resigned, Glenview, this county; Millard F.

A Woman oeNkrve Near Aurclian Springs Saturday a man named Moore was on trial before a magistrate on a war rant sworn out by a miss Urawlcy. While tho trial was in progress, Miss Crawley pulled a pistol from her pocket and fired at Moore's head. The bull took effect in the scalp and rau around under tho skins and camo out several inches from where it entered. Mifs Crawley was in the act of firing again when some one took tho pistol from her hands. Wo do not exactly know tho naturo of the charges against Moore, but learn that the majority of tho people iu tho neigh borhood are in sympathy with Miss Crawley and say she did exactly right under the circumstances There arc others, though, who take sides with Moore. While Moore's wound is not considered dangerous ho will be laid up for several weeks. His escape from death was most miraculous. Miss Craw ley is said to bo a woman of considerable nerve, every "duck of a girl" was looking her sweetest in that "dream" of artistio beauty which had filled her heart lor so many days before she could appear with it upon her shape ly head. At tho Baptist church Rev. Mr Ken drieks occupied the pulpit for the first time since the church was remodeled, and a large congregation was present and the service was interesting. The church is now one of the handsomest iu the State. Tho iuterior is lovely and the beautiful staimd glass windows add greatly to the appearance of tho building, and the congregation is now delighted with their uew liou e of worship. Rev, J. A. Ilomaday pleached a fine seimon in the Methodist Episcopal church at the morning service. He chose for his subject t lio only appropriate one for the day, "The Resurrection," and his sermon was full of beauty and comfort for all who are earnestly striving to be come members incorporate into tho mys tical body of Christ and to have a lively faith in tho promise of the new life which lies beyond the grave. The evening service was an entertain ment by the Bright Jewels. This con sisted of songs, recitations, etc., by the children of the society and the large con gregation present was delighted with the excellent manner in which the programme was carried out. There being no rector present at the Episcopal church, lay services Guly were held, but the services and songs were all appropriato to the glad Easter duy and were entered into with joy and gladness by all who were present. To all Christian people Easter is the greatest of all the festivals of tho year, and it is gratifying to observe that nearly all the Churches of tho land now recog nize it as such aud that appropriate ser vices are now held in nearly all the Prot estant Churches of tho world PERSONAL MENTION.

S PENDLETON, OF Roanoke Uapids, met wilh a serious accident last Saturday, while coming to Weldon on his bicycle. Ho was ridini: the tow path of the canal bank and ran off at tho waste way i nearest to the Uapids, and fell a distance A I MC- of 6l'ieen feet on the sharp rocks below His left hip was broken, two fingers were dislocated, and his wrist was sprained and he received other injuries. The place whero tho accident oceurn is one of the most dangerous along the entire canal, and tho majority of cycli- usually dismount and lead their wheel over the plank walk way. Dr. Peudleton lay for about one hour after his terrible fall before he was dis covered. Ho was first seen by Misses Mary Long Green and Ada Bodeman, who had been up to the Uapids on their wheels. When they reached this waste way they stopped for a moment to wait for some members of their parly who were coming on behind. It was then that they heard a voice say, ' Look over, look over." Miss Green looked over the precipice aud saw Dr. Pendleton ly ing upon the rocks below. He told how the accident occurred, aud while sufferiug agouy he was cool and deliberate and showed remarkable uervo. One of the youug n.eu was iuslanlly dispatched tu Uoauoke Uapids for help aud as soon as possible his friends came wilh a stretcher aud carried him back to ton. Mean while word had been sent lo Weldon and Dr. 1. K. Green aud Dr. A. U Zollicoffer went up as speedily as possible. They found his injuries to be about as above described and wilh their usual skill and knowledge they set to work and reudeied the unfortunate man as couilorl.iule as possible. Al lasi accounts Dr. Pendleton was doing well and his recovery is now a ques tion of lime only. It will be some days, however, before he will bo able lo m. mot his wheel again. The iiruat w mder U th il ho was not instantly killed. While his lojuiioa are serious and painful, ho has much to be thankful for. Nino men out of ten would never come out of such an acci dent alive. We would add a word of warning to all the cyclists who ride the tow path ol th t canal. It is much better to dism milt an-l lead your wheels over the waste ways than lo try t break the record by riding recklessly over them and take the f. arl'ul risk of breaking your neck, or s me of your limbs.
