Dr. Black nail, of the Yar1xrough, Rale'rgh, finds work enough, for three stewards. 1 The Asheville Citizen says: One of the'.negro 'convicts at the upper' stockade on the works on the Y. N. C. Railroad wa3 shot and killed on Friday evening last, while attempting to escape. The Hickory Press says: Mr. Nelson Gragg, his sons, E. W. Gragg, wife and three childreu, ahd'E. J.; Gragg, wife and one child, passed through Hickory Mori day on their way to Oregon. They were from .Watauga county, having been pre-; ceeded this winter by several other fami lies. Several years ago about thirty lamilies went from that' county .to, the same place. . The Raleigh News says: A shooting affray, as we learn, occurred Thursday night at a house of ill-faine on the rail-; road two miles from Durham, ( between Frank Collins and Alfred Barrow,-Jrainters, on the one side, and Kllis and Frank Carr, carpenters, on the other, in which the two latter were seriously and it is feared, mortally wounded, one having received a ball in the chest and the other two balls, one jn the groin and the other in tio leg.' No details had been received .up' to the time the train passed Durham yesterday. Collins and Barrow have fled. A special from Weldon to the Peters burg Index o$ Appeal, dated last; Satur day, says : Yesterday-, as the steamer Vesta, Capt. Samuel Locke, came up the Roanoke, his eon, five years . old, fell overboard and was drowned., Capt. Locke sprang into the river to save his bojybut ho sank ere he could reach - him. Mrs; Locke, seeing' the accident, rushed to thg side-of the boat and was in the act of springing into the river to ' the aid of her husband and child when she was caught bjT one of the, officers and with difficulty restrained. The boat was backed,-a rope thrown-to the. Captain, and he. was drawn aboard. Th? Raleigh News says: Harvey Bing ham, Esq.; the excellent Senator from Watauga, is just 'in receipt of a letter From home, winch tells him ot"a horrible trager dy which occurred. in his.county on Friday, the 21 ir.st. It apeArs that a crowd had collected at the bouse of Elk any South, on the North fork of New River, in the county named, on that day, for the pur pose of having a "frolic." Mrs. South objected, but her wishes were about to be set aside when Smith Tyre, a member of the party, took ,h.er part. This brought about still, harder words, and a free fight grew out-ofthe discussion. In this fight Abe Stout and John Stout were both killed, pnd some other of the participants. were injured. An attempt was made also to kill Mrs, South, but she escaped with her life. Frank Osborne, one of the ch;ef of the rioters, fled and concealed himself, and a few days later an officer, armed with a process, went in search of and found him. Osborne resisted arrest and was shot and instantly killed. - t . LOCAL NEWS. New Advertisements. : A. L. DeKos-et Lost. Giles k Mctrchisox1 Garden Tools. Masoxic HALLrrof. J.' "SVy Hartley.

Not long since a a young geutle ajii in this city escorted a lady friend to t meet ing of the Choir of which she was a mem ber. Not feeling particularly interested in the proceedings of the organ loft h? went down into the body of the church and stretcbing himself out at full length in one of the pews he soon fell fast asleep. . He dreamed but never mind, what he dreamed. The Choir practice drew to a close, the instrument was shut and locked, tli3 books were put away and everybody started to go; all but the young lady, whose escort was slum bering so T)eacefulljT below her. Jo't knowing-whjpre he was the young lady went oat of the front door with the others expecting to find him there, but in this she was disappointed and was tjrefore compelled to a'ceept another escort to her home. In the. meantime the slumbercr slumbered on until he finally awoke, -cold and uncomfortable, and heardthe clock strike twelve. For some seconds he could not realize his position aud when he did it was with lOir rising on end at the re membrance of the old grave yard behind the chupch that he.made a dash for the door. But the door was locked and the windows next were tried, one of which had been, fortunately for him, left unfas tened. He got out and got home safely and docs not mjnd telling the joke on- himself now. . Cat this Out It May SaTe Your Life.

Yesterday morning., about 10 o'clock, some one put fire to one: of Dr. Scott'-s . fields, near tiro County' Poor House, and there was quite a scrimmage with that fire before it consented to be put out.

The Fire Fiend. The fire fiend is in our . midst of a verity, as witness .tho two incendiary fires last week and the attempts made then and since. This fiend walks around on two legs and carries tils tail in his pocket along with a box f of matches, a bottle of kerosene and some lightwood splinters.

Dill Moore in Trouble. Whi. IL-'Moore, Senator frnn New Hanover, arose to a question of privilege on. Saturday last, in the'eourse of which he stated that . while in ; conversation n the street he had been arreted without cause by a policeman of the city and after having been carried a considerable distance was released without) having been informed of the why and. wherefore of his arrest. Mr Bennett thereupon offered a resolution under-which a committee 'of I three, of which Mr. Bannett is -Chair man, was appointed to enquire into tii3 alleged outrage. l; Tho- Qj.urvcr says that tho whole affair of tho' arrest was a nitre trifle, Moore having bcj-i takerfor soiiiebady else, and we believe tlnit Bill's conscience w-as at least guilt' if his body was not as on the ilar of his arrest lu intraluced a, bill into the Senate to abolish the Penitentiary. . The -lialeigh News says that thj affair turns out to have been a. great deal of . cry and very little wool as the committee appointed to investigate it Gxamiaed witnesses arid found nothing to sustain :an action against the policeman! Shrove "Tuesday or Pancake Day. 'Jo- morrow will be Shrovjp Tuesday, or "Fastnatch," and, no doubt, mny qnantitv of the peculiar kind of cake known by j that name will be brouglit up on the ta bles. The custom of dishing up dough outs on 'Fastnacht" has died out to some extent, but it is still obserjred in many families. In the olden. times it -wa3 gener ally, if not univeri illy, observed, but its, real pleasures are now principally confin ed to our rural- districts, where r almost every family makes it a point to.be pre pared for the day aiad its peculiar obser vance. The' 'esteem it a luxury to see the huge '.dishes- of "Fafctuacht," cakes brought info view and everyone invited to help himself. Shrove Tuesday is so call ed from the ancient practice in tii Cath olic Church of confessing --sins and being shriecedor shrozc -that is, cbtairii.ig abso lution,on this day. Being tho day prior to the beginning of Lent it may occhr to any one between the 2 i of February and the 8th of March. In Scotlrnd, it is called Fasten's E'eu, but ii little k regarded iu that Presbyterian country. iiTh.3 charas tet of the day as a. pHpular festival is mirthful ; it is a season of jc-rai val-like jollity- and drollery. The p.vucakc And Shrove Tuesday are inextricably associated in the popular mind and in all literature. Shakespeare makes his clown, dn 'All's Well thit Ends Well' speak of something being "as fit r.s a pancake for Shrove Tues day. Many other distinguished writers also refer to the pancake as inseparable from Shrove Tuesday. Fashion Notes far Ladies. : ier trimmings arc much , used' On ball dresses. " , ' V..
