The aggregate value of the goods shown in his window amounts to over seven hundred dollars. The proposed purchase of the Advance outfit by the Y. N. C.

Mrs. Mary Lorick has given the Episcopal Church near Acton, this county, a fine church bell. This will prove a great convenience, and was a graceful act on the part of Mrs. L. There willlle services in this church every sect nd and fourth Sabbath in each :r onth. The news from Raleigh is cer tainly astounding. Recent devel opments in financial indiscretions on the part of men most trusted, all over the country, are well calcu lated to disturb confidence in hu man integrity, and to justify the exactions which sometimes seem harsh and unteeling. All confi dence should not be withdrawn, and will not; but sucn lessons should and will make those entrusted with confidence and cash doubly cir cumspect and cautiou;.

Announcement of the Failure of a Ralelgu Bank. The Ealeigh News Obstrver of yesterday brought the startling intelligence that the President of the State National Bank of that' city and the Cashier of the same had absconded with "a large amount of the assets of the bank," and that the said bank was closed and turned over to the proper United States officers. Mr. Cross was President, and Mr. S. C. White Cashier. The News-Obseiver also stated that the other banks of the city were not at all affected by this defalcation. Died, On Monday night, at the resi dence of her husband, Dr. Good win, on Hill street, Mrs. Nancy Goodwin, in the 2Gth year of her age. She leaves a husband and six children. Funeral services at her late home this morning at 10 o'clock, Rev. Father White officia ting. The friends of the family invited. Westers North Carolisa Beef. In the last Sunday's Sun is an article headed "Kansas City Beef" which states that twice a week fine fat beef is expressed here from far-away Kansas City, and the writer therein feels like calling a meeting of the North Carolina stock-raisers and ascertaining why Western North Carolina does not ship Kansas City people beef. There is no reason in the world why not unless the Kansans are al ready supplied. We saw a drove of twenty-two head of beeves fat tened by J. M. Osborne Ar Bro., of Clyde, Haywood county, and by them sold and delivered to P. C. Mclntire t Bro., of Asheville, that weighed from 800 tip to 1,470 pounds, none of which were over six years old, and as sleek, fat and fine as any cattle ever raised in Kansas. This demonstrates that Osborne Bros, of Haywood, know how to grow, and the Messrs. Mclntire know how to buy, dress and put on the Asheville market as good beef as is to be found in the whole country North or South. .Doubting Thomases are referred to Mclutire's stock yards for verification of the above. Those 1i; Oravc.es. Yesterday afternoon we chanced to step into the well filled store of Smith it Eaird (Dave and Charlie) when our attention was called to a fine lot of oranges just received from Maj. Carrier's grove in Florida, one of which when weighed tipped the scales at seventeen ounces. They also had just opened a box of Jamai ca oranges, bright and nice ; but it took four of them to weigh a pound. A Republican friend J. S. B., there upon claimed that Florida oranges be ing protected by the Morrill tariff was the real reason why the American orange was enabledto attain its collas sal proportions while the Jamaica fruit grown by pauper labor could only at tain to the dignity of a sort of orange set onion-like as it were. The pro prietors of the concern, however, claimed that they were grown cx prt ssly for their trade and that they were compelled to have different sizes to fit the labial capacities of their customers. Messrs. Smith it Baird have a good trade, and they certainly deserve it. Their motto is Live and let Lire. Give them a call when in want of canned goods, dry goods or anything usually kept in a lirst class general store. Where Gold is Found. Messrs. Powell & Snider, with that mysterious air which is always associated with men when they find a really good thing, invite attention to something, which can be found at their family grocery store, which is better than a gold mine.

If you plant an acorn yon cannot gather apricots, and if you sow poor and old seeds you can not have large and solid cabbage heads, nor round and regular tomatoes, nor perfect and juicy canteloupes. The moral of this is. Be sure you get gooi' seeds to avoid disappointment. Lan dreth's seeds are regarded the best all over the United States, and you can get he best crop at Pelham's Drug Store. d&wtf To walk on Wilton Carpels is equal to walking on Turkish Rugs; nothing more pleasant, or gives so rich an appearance.

In a letter to Mr. Sinclair, editor of the Wytheville (Va.) Disjia'ch, J C Otl. Esq., editor of the Shenan doah Herald, Woodstock, Va., says 'The Swiss Bell Ringers gave an entertainment in our- town last night. It is one o' the best troupes that we have ever had here. If your people want to see a genuine troupe that gives a first class show, and one that the most refined lady can attend, advise them to attend the entertainment of the Swiss Bell Hinders.

A Horrible Murder in Madison. We learn from several gentlemen who were in the city yesterday from M id'son county that Gaither Reese, of Spring Creek, was shot and ii.x stantly killed by Jerome RufI and three other parties on Friday 2-'!rd inst. It seems that some time since a slight difficulty oocurre 1 between Reese and Ruff, and on seeing the latter with three other friends armed with rifie guns approaching, Reese thougnt it best to prevent any diffi culty sought to make his escape; and as soon as he made the effort to get out of danger the assailants opened fire, lodging several balls in Mr. Reese, one of them going in the back of his head and coming out of his forehead, causing death in stantly. They were all arrested, but Ruff made his escape. One gave bail and the other two were placed in Marshall jail Officers are out with warrants for Ruff who seemed '. be the leader of the gang. The names of the other three men our informants were unable lo learn. This has caused -reat excitement in that community where many of the best citizens of the county live. The Fire Department. The new quarters of the Asln ville Fire Department have been mate rially improved. Instead of the old-time, old-fashioned lock and key doors. Mr. L. Swicegood has invented and placed in use an instantaneous device for opening tVlpCf. ll CTJ " 'i momiinl'n 1 1 , ' ' . . i . The device is Mr. Swicegood 's pat ent, and is one of the most complete we have ever seen. Col. Sawyer and Capt. Fagg have complimented him highly upon the successful operation of bisinvention. The new quarters are larger and better ar ranged in every particular, and the addition of drop harness for the horses is all that is njw needed to make the Asheville fire department one of the best in the State. As it is now it only requires one minute to harness the horses and get out of the hose house alter the hre alarm has been sounded. The depart ment deserves much credit lor the faithful and efficient work it. has done, in preserving from the rav ages of fire the property ol our peo ple, without remuneration or hope of reward.

(Special to the AsheTille Citizen. Raleigh, March 27, S i m. Pres ident Charles E. Cross and Cashier Sam'i C. White Jof the State Nation al Bank of this city have absconded with a very large sum of the Bank's funds They fled Saturday -evening and it is almost certain they went to Canada by way of Greens boro and Richmond- They men tioned to several parties that they were going to Chapel Hill where White had a sick relative. They took with them the colored janitor of the bank and 842,000 in c.isii, 820,000 of which they had received only Friday night. Besides this the3" had hypothecated large sums of the Bank's securities in New York. It is believed srenerally th-tt the defalcation amounts U 2(M),0)0. A director said to night i ie be lieved it would be at least two hun dred thousand dollars. Bank Ex aminer Tate will be here in the morning by order of the Comptroller of Currency. Until he makes - animation nothing definite can be known as to the Bank's loss. There was no run on other banks to-day and peifect eoniiderce is felt in them in all respects. The absconding president is a young man, lrom Gates county and was for years clerk in the oiliee of the State Auditor. He had been president of the bank two j-ears. White had betn cashier nearly 20 years and as widely known. He was a very prominent member of the Edentoi Street Methodist Church and u teacher in its Sunday school. Cross was a member of the Baptist Church. The scene here to-dav has been unparalleled n the citys history. Many people are "hit hard" by the defalcation. The State fortunately had only a small sum on deposit, about 14,000. F. A. O. Congressional. Washington. March 2'!, Senate : .v.,...,s the petitions and memo rials presented and referred were several from the Iowa Patrons ol" Husbandry, asking that agricult ural products be equally protected with .iianulactiired articles, that oreij'ii immigration be restricted t is to keep out all paupers atid crim inals, and that the United Mates Senators be elected by direct vote of the people Also i petition for the protection of wool and woolen goods. Mr. Allison introduce'! a ilil impropriating 5.0:K t t d-.'fr.-n ing t'?e funeral expenses ot the late Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. Passed Mr. Ouiiom, from the committee on teintoni-.-. reported f unanimous-- ly ! lv.-ohiiiotis declaring it to be the sense ot the nt-nate that new slates should be admitted into the Union onlv on a tiasii of eoualitv with ex isting state-, and that Congress ought not to exercise supervis ion over the provisions of the con stitution of any such new state further than is necessary to guaran tee to each state a Republican form of government ; that the proposed constitution for the state of Utah, submitted to Congress, contains provision which would deprive such proposed state (if ednitted ) of that equality which would exist among the different states, an I that it is the sense of the Senate that tl e territory of Utah ought not to be admitted into the Union as a state until it is certain beyond doubt that the practice of plural marriage, bigamy or polygamy has been ens tirely abandoned by the inhabitants of that territory and not controlled by the priesthood of the Mormon church. He asked for immediate consideration of the resolutions. Mr. Hoai Tne resolutions are very important. Let them be print ed and go over. It was so ordered. Mr. Ciiilnm. of Alahnmn. reriorted back the Utah memorial and draft of the constitution, and asked -.liat: the committee be discharged from further consideration, so ordered. The resolution offered by Mr. Riddleberger last Thursday to sus pend the rules for executive session in respect to the fisheries treaty was taken up, and Mr. Riddleberger expressed a hope that the Senate would aaree to it. Mr. Sherman said that the treatv was now under consideration by the committee on foreign relations, and that that committee might probably report in favor of public consideration of the subject in the Senate, but for the present he thought it better that the resolution should lie over unacted on.
