The Proceeding of? the Northern Men'H Convention. We are shown by Mr. Dumont cards and letters from persons who attended the Northern settlers' convention held here in January last, wondering at the delay in the publication of the proceed ings and correspondence of that body as provided for m its resolutions. To all such we have to say that the fourth and last form of that document will so to press to-morrow morning. When finished it will be a readable pamphlet of 64 pages, 44 pages of it being letters from' Northern men who were not at the convention. These letters! are equally' as strong as the proceedings of the convention. It will take about three days to run off the last form now ready for press arm then several days to bind and fold the pamphlet and get it ready for distribution. It is no small matter to publish in book form an edition of 10,000 of such a document, and few offices in the South have facilities or type for a work of such magnitude. If people could see the process thev would not Wonder, nor hurry; the work'has been well pushed, and the editor of the work as well as ourselves are entitled to every credit for pushing it. Rest for Headaches. Dr. Day says, in a late lecture : What ever be the plan of treatment decided upon, rest is the first principle to incul cate in every severe headache. Rest, which the busy man and the anxious mother cannot obtain so long as thev canananage to keep about, is one of the first remedies for every headache', and we should never cease to. enforce it. The brain, when excited, as much needs quiet and repose as a fractured limb or an inflamed eye, and it is obvious that the chances of shortening the seizure and arresting the pain will depend on our power to have this carried out effec tually. It is a practical lesson to ,be kept steadily in view, in that thei-etnay1 lurK Denina a: simple ineaaacne some lesson of unknown magnitude which may remain stationary if quietude can be maintained. There is a point worth attending to in the treatment oi ail neaaacne. oee that the head is elevated at night, and the pillow hard ; for, if it is soft, the head sinks into it and oecomes not, wnicn, with some people, is enough to provoke an attack in tne morning n sieep nas been long and heavy. Bold Burg lariee. When a clerk of Magill & Scott, College street, came up to the store yes terday .mqrning,, the front door was standing-naif open.1 xne cast-iron nasp which held tne Doit, was Droiren, ana marks on the door showed that it had been prized open by a bar of iron, or something of that sort, about an inch and a quarter wide, ine casn drawer had also been opened, apparently by the same instrument, and the safe in the rear of the store showed signs ot hav ing been tampered with. An investi gation showed that the burglar got scarcely anytnmg at an. umy one siue of bacon and possibly a sack of flour are Known to oe missing, ne was evi dently after money, and . the contents of the cash draw having been placed iri tbe safeithe might? before, he .made a "water haul." ; The same night the drug store ot Messrs.

Porter, and dangerously wounded Maurice liarrymore, a fellow-member with Porter of ! the Diplomacy company. Our citizen knew Currie as one who was undoubtedly "on the shoot," but pronounces him a quiet, inoffensive man, who he never : knew or heard of attacking any one until he had been mmseu attacKea. sun be nan, on more than one occasion, "killed his man," and was regarded as a person whom it was not safe to "fool" with. The may- Sbober Mine. . The following from the Black Hills Daily Herald relates to a young lady well known in this city : "A force of men have been at work on tne May shober mine for snmit timA ?ast yesterday afternoon Stockton ' aiU1' uu yi tne principal owners, showed us some elegajit specimens of free gold quartz taken from the ore breast The lead runs in the direction of the Sunshine and Caledonia mines, and there is but little doubt that the mine is very rich. Mr. Hall expects to start, for the east before long to look for the; proper machinery with fwhich to ti J mm tnis rich ore. This mine is named a beautiful and accomnlished young. ladyin North Carolina, and so far as tha Black Hills is concerned, it is no misnomer here, for it is a 'beauti ful' mine, and its ore production will 'accomplish' a great deal if rightly handled." Military Reception main. of a Lady' Be The Wilmington Star of Friday says; "The unusual, but in this case not in appropriate spectacle; of " the reception of a lady's remains by military, was witnessed in this city, the late Mrs. Dora Gregory being the subject of the honor. At the hour of 11,25 a. m yes terday, the train of the Carolina Central Railway reached the depot, and besides a large number of friends of the family a detachment of the Wilmington Light Infantry was present. The remains Were removed' from the special car, the cortege was formed, and, with the citi zen soldiery in front, all that was spar ed of the amiable and beloved lady was borne to the residence of her kinsman, Mr. John E. Lippitt. The scene was one of unusual solemnity, and inspired general sympathy for those who are specially bereaved by the death of Mrs. Gregory." The Wilmington Light Infantry also accompanied the remains to the erave Friday afternoon. An Old Money Plate. Mr. W. T. Nicholson, while walking across an old field near his home in the vicinity of Eagle Mills, Iredell county, last Thursday, found an old plate from which was printed in the primitive days of the State, the North Carolina money which was authorized by act of the Congress which assembled at Hali fax OB the 2d of May, 1776. Much of this Id money remains in the country, and it is familiar to almost every eye, but this is the first of the plates that we have ever seen. The plate is of copper, and not much thicker than an ordin ary visiting card, it has not been marred or battered, and though it must have been lying in the field where found for many years, a perfect impres sion might yet be made from it. The plate, aside from other features of in terest which it may possess, illustrates the economy of our f oref athers, one side of it representing five dollars and the other side two and a half. It was thus capable of printing two classes of bills. The plate is shown us by Mr. W, G. Nicholson, and can be seen at The Ob server office. ' '. Preparing- for the 20th of May A Public Meetings A meeting was held in the court house yesterday to take steps towards the proper celebration of the 20th of May. Gen Jno. A. Young presided and F. B.

On Saturday last John H. Craig, who was employed by Mr. Geo. D. Parsley, at the Hilton rice mills, says the Wil mington Review, forged Mr. Parsley's name to a check for $27.91.

A correspondent writes as follows to the Raleigh News from Enfield, Hali fax county under date oi the 27th: A colored nurse employed in the family of Geo. W. Branch, on Tuesday poison ed one of his children, aeed two years. by givinsr it strychnine. The motive is supposed to have been that the nurse was prevented from attending some re ligious meetings at night by the wake fulness of the child. The parents are deeply distressed.

Wilminsrton Review : Orders having been received at the custom house in this city some week or ten days ago to reduce the force on duty here, the col lector of customs, W. P. Canaday, Esq, submitted the matter to the six officials who are acting as"mspectors, ana from wnom tne reduction would oe made and permitted them to decide for them selves as to who should walk the plank. But as the order was only to be en forced for six months the parties inter ested concluded to divide the matter up imotwa months each, s l - Piedmont Press : Last Saturday, 22d, a small child was found dead and hid away in a stump in the woods near lilack Creek church, in the western part of Davie county. Upon the dis covery of the child, Drs. Anderson and cam were called to examine it, wno were of thet opinion that the infant had been murdered bystrangulation and then secreted in that secluded spot. Sus picion rests very heavily upon a young lady ot the community by the name of Smith as being the mother and mur derer of the child, she having been seen in that body of woods the evening pre vious to the finding, and in addition to this there is circumstantial evidence which indicates that she is the perpe trator of the crime.
