LI.NES8 OF KEV. VR. CARTER, We regret to learn of the continued illness of the above gentleman; edi tor of the Western N. Carolina Bap fist. He has been for three weeks, and is still, confined to his home in HendersonviUe.

We trust our friend may peedily recover. AflUEVILLE IN THE SCHOOLS. We were shown yesteraay a cer tificate of proficiency in Double-entry given to Clarence F. Ray, son of Col. J. M. Ray, and issued over the sign manual of Mbj. Robt Bing ham of the Bingham school a distinction to be valued from he verv high character of the chool, and because it was undoubt edly well earned. That distinguish- j ed educator does not destribute his favors through fear, favor or affec tion. Victoria. Our neighbors of the new town of Victoria are beginning to appreci ate manyjof the privileges of a corpo ration. Applications are pouring in for positions on the police force and for the various town appointments;1 and as the salaries attached otto be attached, at least for the presentare small, these applications shows the patriotio fet-lin . of the community to ward tneir new town, ine rock, however, destined to trouble the waters of our neighbor, and endan ger the smooth-sailing of the young government is about to make itself seen and felt. Ihe municipal elec tion for Mayor and three Aldermen takes place on the first Monday in May; and already the indications point to a very liveiy contest, r We shall watch our new neighbor with all sympathy and interest and good wishes, if the contest for omcial preferment becomes too excited and heated, we. will gladly ' lend our water-works and department to cool our friends off.

Prince Leopold of Prussi is on his way to this country, by way of China and Japan. He will land at San Francisco, where a special car, of the Pennsylvania Koad win meet him, and bnug him dir ect to Philadelphia and to Asheville. Suitable preparations will be made to receive him at all points. He will be given the freedom of our city, and receiv ed with addressesin German and broken English. The pure English, as he is spoken by Bostonians and Ashevill'ans, has not yet penetrated the Kingdom ol Prussia, being kept out by Prince Bis mark bv ah excessive tariff on American uxunes, such as this language and Chi cago pork; hence, to make the Prince teel at borne and entirely sociable wnne here he will be addressed altogether as above.

And an innocent custom too, of which it need not be said, "more honored in the breach- than in the observance;" for fun is the object and laughter its fruit. Since writing the above, the fun loving E. L. Brown has been observing the custom. His nimble purse, laid on the ide wa'k, and eluding the grasp of the dozens who clutched at a fancied valu able "find," as it flew back into the store, jerked back with a string, was accom panied with a hearty laughing and the jeering "April tool."

We learn from the Franklin Press that a homicide occurred near Bushnell, on Saturday evening last. A man named Grifieth was shot and killed bv a man named Bryant.

Something to bc Fboud or. We were most pleasantly interviewed yesterday by Henry Ellis, the very excel lent baker and pastry cook of the Swan nanoa. Henry politely handed us a large waiter ef his breads and cakes, fresh from the oven, and modestly remarked having noticed the friendly disposition of the Citizen to speak of the excellence attained nd maintained by our home iDstitutiona and specially.-the hotels of Asheville, he deeired 114 to awe and- taste for ourselves some of his handiwork in bis department at the famous Swaa- nanoa. ' Well, we can sav, not onl v with truth, but witi pleasure, that Henry has full cause to be proud ot his abilities, the hotel to be proud of the possession of sucn excellent service. Among; the samples were Virginia beaten biscuit. and rolls which were truly elegant it seems to us the very periectiou of eooi bread. We have frequently heard the breads ot the Swannanoa highly com plimented by its guests indeed it is one of the attractions, as it ought to be of all good hotels or homes. The specimens brought to our omce lully justify ail that could be claimed, or wanted. We wish Henry may long adorn his post at the swannanoa, and that the Swannanoa may always be full of appreciative guests. The Swannanoa is well othcereu through out. Mr. Reeves, the courteous steward, s a master of his business, gives personal and careful supervision to every detail of every department, and requires every tbing to be done in a first-class, thorough manner. Asheville has as much cause to be proud of the Swan nanoa as the Messrs. Rawls have to be of their own successful career. Transylvania Court Convenes next Montlay. Mr. M. D.
