Yesterday in the early part of the af ternoon the private car of the superin tendent of the Carolina Central Rail road, passed down from Lincolnton, having on board Miss Nellie, eldest daughter of Capt. V. Q. Johnson, the superintendent, and Mr. T. II. Cobb, a well-known and promising young law yer of Lincolnton, with a few friends. They were married in the Presbyterian church in Lincolnton yesterday, Rev. R. Z.Johnston, pastor,- officiating, im mediately after which they boarded the special train and started for Rockine- nam, Richmond county, to visit Col. John D. Shaw, a. brother-in-law of the .groom. The marriage of Mr. Cobb and Miss Johnson was quite an event in Lincolnton society, with which both are deservedly popular, and the church was crowded to witness their nuptials. There were no regular attendants, but Mr. B. C. Cobb and Mr. Robt. J. Shipp acted as best men for the groom. The bride was elegantly attired in a dress made especially for her in Paris. After spending a few days at Col. Shaw's, the young couple will return to Lincolnton, where they will reside.

He is the same who was quoted a few days since as having publicly stated that Harvey Kingsbury, the negro whom Messrs. Glover and Bales were accused of losing last summer, had re turned to the county in August after the occurrence. He came up, he said, to re-affirm the statements that have already appeared, and to say that he is prepared to prove every word he has said. He furthermore asserts that Kingsbury came back for the purpose of surrendering himself to the authori ties, but was dissuaded from so doing by his colored friends, Bill Adams and others, who reminded him that he was charged with an assault with a deadly weapon and thatit might go hard with him, if he were tried for the offence. Accepting this advice he finally de cided to leave, agreeing before hand to change his name. After staying in the county at least a week, he left. Ed wards says that he has- been greatly abused for telling it, and has been threatened to such an extent that he is afraid to leave his home at night. Thus vanishes the wonderful cock and bull story of the murder of Harvey Kingsbury. Reward. In accordance with the request of the county commissioners, preferred through the sheriff, Gov. Jarvis has of fered a reward of $200 for the appre hension and delivery to the sheriff of Mecklenburg, of Bob Pharr, colored, ac cused of the murder of Kerr Watt, also colored, at Pineville recently.

The Wrong1 Name. A mistake was made yesterday morn ing in the name of the United States commissioner who was ordered by Judge Dick to appear at the next term of the court to show cause why he should not be removed from office for drunkenness, and also for engaging in a "raid." This occurrence took place in one of the counties (east of Charlotte, while Mr. H.. Cabaness, whose name was given, lives in Cleaveland, and had nothing to do with it. It was simply a mistake in the name. . As Biff a Man a Old Proctor. Alvllmingtolalman" wrote to Prof. John H.

If tbey do then what ever changes this Will produce will pre vail until the middle of February whert ouulucr cnange will take place.!' & Another Opinion On IC. The readers of The Observer, many of whom have heard Gov. Vance's lec ture on "The Scattered Nation," will be interested in reading the following opinion of it from the editor of the Southern Presbyterian, who heard it recently in New Orleans: "We had the pleasure last week of listening to a lecture by Senator Vance, of North Carolina, on 'The Scattered Nation.' It is a subject on which he has lectured before, in other places, and the impression it made elsewhere crea ted a very earnest desire to hear it. For the cause of the Bethel, he allowed himself to be prevailed on to deliver it. We were among the audience who were instructed by its learning, charmed by its eloquence, and amused by its flashes of humor. "The Senator is a hold speaker as well as a sound thinker. In these days of dilletanteism it is positively sensational to hear a public speaker who has nerve enough to say that the idolatry of Greece and ltome was 'beastly,' or that our so called scientists 'worship science be cause they are ignorant of it.' But these are only some of the features of the lecture. . If you have an opportuni tv to hear it, don't neglect it . "The Senator has made a host of friends among us. We hope that he will repeat his visit." The Statesvllle News. ' Another sensation awaits the town in another fashionable wedding, which is Eut down among the things that are to appen next week. ' More cotton has Deen Dougnt in Statesville this season than ever before. Some parties have invested pretty heavily and are holding for still better prices.

Lawrence, a native of Iredell and this season quar antine physician at Memphis, to a Memphian of, wealth, and position. The bride is a granddaughter ot Mrs, Mary A.
