Four, men were seriously injured, two dangerously and a dozen others were cut by flying glass, etc The car iialted at the crossing as the iates were beit g dropped for 'an in coming train. It is customary for the gateman to beiu to ra S3 the gates as the train is passing, so as to have as little delay as possible to pedestrians and vehicles. The gateman failed, however, to notice that the dull engine was going out on the west bound rails. As poou as the gates were up the car moved on. The horses had just got bejord the we-'f bound track as the- drill engine hit tbe carj'ist back of the front plat form and threw the car : half way around so that it stood paralel, with the rails.

His success led him to deal heavily, until he finally employed a srJecial agent, to stay in Minneapolis and conduct the business which was carried on in the name of P. F.

( In the Sapreme Court this morning, in accDrdacce with previous notice, and in the presence of a large number of ladies and gentlemen, an oil por trait of the late Hon. John Hall, for merly a Jostice of the Court, was pre sented by Richard H. Battle. Esq , on behalf ot the relatives of the deceased. Mr. Battle gave a brief biographical sketch Of Judge Hall, and! alluded m deserved terms to his great excellence as a judicial cfSser, He was one of the three Judge3 who composed the Court upon it organization in ISIS the other mrs being Chief Justice John LouUTavTor and J ustice Leonard Henderson. A'our correspondent learns that the1 descendants of the two last named Judges will also have portraits of them prepared and presented to the Court. Portraits of Judge Pearson and others who succeeded those above named are to be added to the collec tion which now ornaments the walls of the handsome court room. Gratifi cation is expressed by many people at the improvement made by North Car olinians in thejst two or three years to thus honor e memory of the dis tinguished citl ns of their State. The remaiks of Ct A Justice Smith in ac cepting Judgfl Hall's portrait were graceful, and did honor to that distin guished jurist.

Not; only will the teachers attend the insti tutes, but the count v superintendents of instruction and also the school boards and not a few school commit teemen. Maj. Finger expects to do a great deal in tbei coming twelye months with the $o 000 available for this specific purpose.,. The more correct news ,about the fire at Smithfield Sunday puts the aggregate loss, much lower than 'Was at first stated. About $80,000 appears to be a nearly true estimate, while there was SJd.UUO insurance, so tar as can be learned. The fire is a heavy blow to Smithfield. a good deal of the trade and importance of the place having beejn taken away by Selma and Dunn; The fire broke out again there yesterdaybut was soon subdued.
