BrUht Prospects
We learn that; the crops in, the vicinity
of Point Caswell were never looking more
prosperous than the do this season. Not
only at that particular J 4 place, b 't in the
country sorrouodinig, exteuding into Bla
den, Sampson,' Duplin and Cumberland,
the same conditions exist. Oh the Af,ill
Branch' farm, owned by Mr.L.Vollers,eorn
is repesented as being on an average of ten
feet in height, and lis tasseling. I is Yery
uniform in appearance,
and unless some
untoward accident 'bccuis, it is estimated
that it will yield seventy-five bushels to
the acre. Thi crop is entirely upon the
upUn4s. . j

The pole for the Telephonic Fire
Alarm wires were being placed aloug the
route o'h yf sterday, and to-day gome are
beir g, placed in' position. The poles jwili
be erected in the middle of tbe streets, in
order to save, the shade trees. Gen'l Tay
lor has informed us that not a shade tree
ia the city shall be mutilated or other
wise disfigured on account of the wires
See bis card in another column.
Seferely Injured
Yesteiday afternoon, Alfred Bush,
colored, who was engaged in buuiiog
poles for the fir alarm was severely
hart by one of them tailing on hirr . Ha
was at the time of the accideut unloading
his dray and had one end of the pole, on
his shoulder when he lost bis balance
and was crushed to the ground the. pole
falling on his head. Medical assistance
was near at band and the unfortunate
man was promptly cared for. His injuries
are very severe aud may prove fatal. I

A Disclaimer.
Handbills having been posted up in
different parts of the city J announcing
that an excursion to Smithville on the
Waccamaur, to remain until after the ex
ecution, would
the 11th inst.,
be given on
with the un-
i
derstanding that it would be under the
Independent Order of Good Samaritans
and Daughters of Samaria, we are reques
ted to state that the organization has
nothing to do with the matter, and the
usa of its name is entirely unauthorized
and unwarranted. The I. 07 of G S.
and.D of S. take no stock in any such
excursions.
Breaking Insulators.
About half a mile from the toll gate on
the turnpike quite a quantity of pebbles
were placed on the road for the purpose
of hardening it, but boys seem to think
they were placed there for some other purr
pose, and have been assiduously throwing
them away, generally taken the glass in
sulators on the telephone poles as their
target.
The insulators have been coo-
pletedly ruined, several times and new
ones had to be put up. Those on the
poles now are so badly broken that, a
new set will have to take their places.
i '
This wanton destruction of property is
doubtlessly the result of .thoughtlessness,
but should be put a stop to.
New Postal Arrangement.
We learn from the postoffice depart
ment in this city that a new postal ar
rangement has been effected, to go into
operation to-day, by which the route
agents who leave for the South on the
mail train, from here go directly through
to Charleston without change, and those
who leaves for' the North go directly
hrough to! Washington City without
change. This arrangement will greatly
facilitate the delivery and transportation
of the mails, an.d, although it will necessi
tate the employment ota larger force : of
route agents, it will subs?.re the public
interest very much.

jumped into the Cipe Fear,1 at the wharf
of the New York steamers, and started to
swim across the river, bat alter stum
ming a few yards, he turned around and
he-ded for the wharf from which he had
just plunged. Before he could reach a

drowned. Smith, daring the afternoon

Creditable to a Tounz Wllin'nztonian
We. always like to record the- well-doing
or well-being of any North Carolin
ian, whether he be at home or abroad,
but especially do we take a deep
pride and pleasure in stating anything
that reflects credit upon a Wilming-tonian
who is native and to the manner born.
At the recent Commencement of Trinity
School, at Tivola, on the Hudson, in New

Mr. James Dawson, graduated with first
