It is announced in Raleigh that th Farmer and Mechanic has passed into the absolute control and management of Capt. R. A. Shotwell and J XV Dowd, Esq., who have leased the paper on very favorable terms, for a half a dozen years, or longer. It is their design, we believe, to adopt a new name for the paper as soon as a head ing can be engraved. Capt Shotwell's aim is to make an unexcentionh1 family fireside newspaper, devoted to the interests of the industrial classes of our people. It will no doubt attain a wide circulation and we hope will meet with encouragement from the beginning:. A Special Xerni of Court. Xext thing in order will be a special term of the Superior Court for Mecklen burg county. The dockets are full and business is steadily piling up on them. There are now sufficient cases to en gage a court for a period of six weeks, and a special term is imperatively necessary. The only question is as to wnen it shall be called for. All the judges of the State are now engaged upon the circuits, and will not be through with their own courts before June. This is in the midst of the har vest season, and a special term at that time would hardly be desirable. The commissioners will, therefore, probably not asK tor tne court tor a time earlier than the middle or last of Julv. and by that time the dockets will be still larger. The County Treatiury. A recent act of the Legislature made it the duty of the county treasurers to post in some conspicuous place about the court house, an itemized statement of the receipts and disbursements of every month. Capt. Belk has complied with the law and vesterdav there ap peared seven or eight pages of the state ment for February on the bulletin boards in front of the court house door. It must be stated here it will not be known by that old style of advertise mentthat the expenditures of the county last month, were $2,494.70, with some claims yet to be presented. The receipts of the county treasury last month were $10,343.75, and the balance on hand at the time of the last settle ment with the finance committee was 62,886.97. The balance on hand at present is $10,736.00. Death of Iflr. James If. Orr. Mr. James II. Orr died yesterday af ternoon about 5 o'clock at the residence of Dr. Jos. Graham, whither he was re moved from his room Sunday after noon. He had been quite ill for several days past, and his friends have feared the worst ever since he was taken sick. Mr. Orr is a well-knowrn citizen, and has been conspicuous for years as one of the leading firemen of the city. He was especially popular with the mem bers of the department, who have shown their esteem and regard for him by the most devoted attention during his illness. He was in the prime of life just thirty-three years of age. His funeral will take place from the Epis copal church this morning at 10 o'clock. The companies composing the fire de partment will attend in a body. Purim Ball Last Nlg-ht. The Purim calico ball at the Central Hotel last night was a very elegant and successful affair. In addition to the vouner ladies and gentlemen of Israel- kish families in the city, there were in attendance quite a number of visitors. The dresses, although strictly calico, were made up so handsomely as to con stitute elecrant costumes: in fact, the casual observer would never haye sus pected that the material was the much abused ana onen aisuarueu uuw. auc dancing was spirited and continued till a very late nour. ine entertain ment was given for tne benent or tne orphan asylum which is soon to be erected at some point in the Southern States under the auspices or ine oraer of B'nai B'rith, and quite a handsome sum will no doubt be raised. Superior Court Adjourned. Judge Kerr was confined to his bed nearly all day Sunday and wnen tne hour for the assembling of the court ar rivpd vesterilav morning, he was una- ..,jr it. .. 4- ble to sit up, consequently mo cuuit was adjourned till to-oay, ana ine spe cial venire in the Fetbel murder case were ordered to re-appear mis morning. In the afternoon the oar neia a meet c in ,a nffip.fi nf f!ant. Armistead Burwell and agreed to continue all the cases on the docket until the next term of the court. This course was thought advisable in order to allow J udge Kerr the rest needed for nis recovery num his present indisposition, so won c may De able to continue on his circuit. t nnHprarwwl that the action of the bar meets with the approval of his honor and accordingly ine oupenui court of Mecklenburg stands adjourned. Judge Kerr is at tne ueuuri nuvci and will probably remain there for sev eral days, before venturing to travel. Capture of a. Notorious Escaped Con vict. a for nio-Ma aco the residence of Mrs. Jno.

Seeing in The Observer a few days ago a State news item to the effect that the largest train of cars that ever went into Wilmington numbered forty cars, and was hauled into that city one day last week, over the Wilmington, Columbia & Augusta Railroad, Mr. Peter Joseph, engineer of the through freight on the Carolina Central, went it one better by pulling up in the yard at Wilmington last Saturday evening with forty-one cars swung behind his engine. Seven of the cars were flats, loaded with lum ber and some half dozen of the box cars were not loaded, which was the case with a number of the cars making up the long Wilmington, Columbia & Au gusta train. Ho Medicine Has ever been Invented to prevent death! The best that can be done Is to assist nature in keeping the functions of the body in a condition of health while life lasts. For biliousness, liver complaints, costiveness, dyspepsia, and all stomachic disorders take Mott's Liver PUls. Hood cheer for Coasnmpilvc. There is a form of consumption whieh was better indicated by the old fashioned name of "decline." It is the dreaded scourge of some parts of the Southern States, claiming more victims every year than are swept away by the most terrible visitations of the yellow fever. The malady arises from the inability of the patients' system to take up and as similate the nourishing ingredients of the food that is eaten. Some years ago the medical profes sion with remarkable unanimity, agreed that Cod Liver OH contained the most concentrated and easily absorbed elements of nutrition. If the nau seous taste and smell of the oil could be avoided it would unquestionably be the most sovereign reme dy that ever shed a healing blessing on the human race. And these repulsive properties are success fully removed by the union of pure Cod Liver OH with the Hypophosphites of Lime and Soda in Scott's Emulsion. The combination is a most ele gant one, pleasant as sweet milk in flavor, conge nial to the stomach, and acting directly as a power ful yet gentle tonic of the brain and nervous sys tem. grg 05crotls, WlafhiuQ, Set.
