A Monster Potato.
i ;
i We saw this morn in e at Messrs Hsd-
kins & Bates' store, on Second street
. .... i . . . .
aoout tne largest potato we have ever
come across, j It is a yam and was grown
by Mr. S B Ilankins at bis farm in
Brunswick county, about five miles from
this city, and weighs ten pounds. Think
of that, wjll you! Ten pounds of pota
toe under one hide! !

This tribunal convened at the uuel
hour this morning and transacted such
business as remained unfinished from yes
terday's Bession and then adjouraed. The
Grand Jury were discharged last evening.
,In the case of George Davis, convicted
ol robbing the U. S mail, as reported by

A Systematic Thief.
The law office of Mr. John D. Bellamy,
on Market, between Second and Third
streets, was broken open a few nights
since, and a few books and some of tbe
office 1 furniture were taken therefrom.
On the same night the residence of Mr.
King, a few doors above, was also broken
open land a small quantity of infant's
i?
clothing was stolen. The thief probably
stole tbe clothing first and then cribbed
the law books to study up bis line of de
fenee providing he should be detected
and brought to trial.
Rail Road Superintendents.
Maj. A. Shaw has resigned the super
iatendency of the Richmond k, Petersburg
Railroad, and h to be succeeded by Mr.
Theo. Kline, Superintendent of the Char
lotte, Columbia & Augusta Railroad.
Mr. Kline resigned his position on tbe
Charlotte road two or three weeks ago,1
bat is still discharging the duties of Su
perintendent. This information we gain from the
Charlotte Observer, Messrs. Kline and
Shaw are both , well-known in this1 city,
having filled positions here. Some few
weeks ago it was rumored that Mr. Kline
was to take charge of the W. C. & A. R.
R. but this has been denied. We do not
know whether this report is any more
correct than was the last.;
The Greensboro Pa'riot.
As has been published for some time
past, Capt, R. T. Fulghum takes charge
of the Greensboro Patriot, one of the
staunchest and most influential Democrat
ic papers in the State. Capt. Fulghum
has purchased tbe entire faper and
will hereafter conduct its destinies. He
will be ably assisted by our friend, Wade
H. Harriss, Esq., a gentleman who is
well and favorably known in Wilming
ton and a newspaper man of marked abil
ity, and also, for a time, by Mr. Duffy,
the recent editior and proprietor of the
Patriot.
Capt. Fulghum has been known for
years past as a brilliant member of the
fraternity in this State. Be is a. gentle
man of much abliity of thorough energy
and of long experience and we predict for
tde Patriot a long and uselul career.

Do not discuss politics or religion in

Magistrate's Court.
An investigation of the case of Manuel
Rhodes, colored, arrested for rape a few
days ago upon the affidavit of Melissa
Hteee, colored, was had this morning1 at
10 o'clock before Justice Millis, and re
sulted in the defendant being bound over
in the sum of $100 for trial at the next
term of the Criminal Court.
Serious Accident.
A colored man, whote name we failed
to learn,, fell from the roof of a barn be
longing to Capt.R. A. Price, and situated
on the corner of Front and Qneen streets,
this morning, and then a portion of the
roof feel upon him, inflicting quite)serious
injuries about the head. Dr. E. A. An-
derson I was called in and rendered the
necessary medical assistance. The wounds .
though painful and severe, are not con
sidered necessarily mortal, and the man
will probably not die.
Spirits and Cotton.
The boom in cotton and spirits has cot
yet played out notwithstanding the
fact that a few days ago spirits sold at
47 cents at.d to-day at 35 and 36. Teso
terdayj it dropped down from 36 te 36
and today it has dropped up from 35 to
36. The closing sales to-day were made
at 36 and the market is firm witb36 cents

In cotton there has been a marked gain
today, the advanee being from 10 centrg
at which figures sales were made! yester
day, to 11 cents to-day, the market
closing firm with aa advancing tendency .
