Mr. David Stevens says butter milk will kill lambs. It seems that this delicious beverage is only in tended for hogs and humanity. The crowded condition of the house, has forced the Messrs. Rawls to open no the third floor of the Swannanoa for occupancy by guests. H. H. Lane, Esq., traveling agent ior the New York Life Insurance Co., has returned to the city from an extended business trip through South Carolina. The streets presented a lively ap pearance yesterday trading was active among merchants, and the croud on the streets were larger than f'-r Si veral days past. Thr Pomona Terra Cotta Works at Greensboro are said to be most succesifi. They make fire brick, drain tiic and stove-piping. Mr. Han is of the State Department pro nounces these goods as much supe rior to those of northern make. Last night's ai rivals at the Swan nanoa included Mrs. A. Kingman, Robt.

A violator of the prohibition law has been detected in a long stand ing practice of evading the law. Under an old guano store house, bnilt on a sloping hillside there was room for a person to crawl under the rear and most elevated side. At the rear end was found by an in quiiitive investigator to be a box in which, when a "quarter ' was drop ped, there was an automatic revolv ing motion which brought round a bottle of whiskey in place ot the Quarter. No human hand or agen cy was visible; but of course there was "a power behind the throne and such power was found and bound over to answer and explain at the next term of the court The auction sale of china ware, etc., still goes on at Keller's. Motions, only, will be heard in the superior court this morning. The regular meetingof the French BroadFarmers'.Club will beheldtci day at Alexanders. We regret to learn that Miss An nie Aston is quite sick at her resi dence on Church street. One dollar per pound will do very well for tobacco. That was the price obtained yesterday at the Farmers' Warehouse.

Evidently gas has come to stay. Under a brilliant sky and a warm sun the drying process went on ran idly yesterday. Ihere was no cause for profanity from lair lips on ac count of the mud. The Board of Missions of the Western Baptist Convention was in session last night. Business of im portance to the cl urch was trans acted and the session lasted until a late hour. The Abingdon Virginian says: 'Wytheville received 893,000 for cabbage shipped from that point last year. One gentleman shipped 1.000,000 pounds during the year." Does Buncombe hear that? Mr. W. G. Bassent. one ot the old est and most prominent citizens in the vicinity of Alexanders, was se-. riously injured a few days since by a falling tree. But littl? hope is entertained of his recovery. Mclntire's Haywood county beef sustains, as it hangs in the sham bles, all the fine promises made by the appearance of the fat beeves which were driven through the streets some days vp,o. Fat beel will be in vogue at Mclntire's for some time to come from that source. Messrs. Bostic, Blanton & Co., sold at auction last Thursday four lots on Depot street. They were all bought by Mr. F. A. Sumner, one for S400 and the other three for $310 each. The bids were rnipd at once, and the same lots will be sold lgain on Monday, Mav 7th. This i valuable property. The Times informs us that Mr. L J. Reece, an aged citizen of llen- dersonville died suddenly last Sun day afternoon. He was in the act ot stirring the fire with the tongs whan his strength seemed to fail hi.n. He was assisted to bed but died in a few minutes. He was a few months past 80 years of ae. Hendersonville will be well sup plied with hotels this summer. There are four f them. The Globe, the property of Capt. W. M. Cocke, of Asheville, is to be repaired and improved. But Ilendftsoin ille has not yet summoned courage to rival the Batttrv Park. Ti e time must coiiic for that and in the near fu ture. The Times taya that Ilerr Von Aliings and wife, of Saxony, were in Hendersonville last week. They are residing at the Courtland place, a few miles from town, and we are informed thev are thinking of pur chasing a place in this county and becoming permanent settlers. If so, a family of noble birth and great accomplishments will have been added to our population. We are requested to say that the report to the effect that the West ern Convention hd been contem plating the purchase of the Advance office with the view of starting a Baptist paper for Western North Carolina and had failed is altogeth er without any foundation. The owner of the Advance office was asked by one m:in on the street, what the office cjuld be bought lor, but the convention had nothing to do with the matter whatever. There has been therefore ho failure. It is not positively known that another paper will be started at all. To Arrange a Calendar. Judge McRae yesterday gave no tice to all members of the bar that he should expect them to be pres ent in court this morning, when he will assist them in the arrangement of a calendar for the June term of the Superior Court Saturday and Monday, 24tb261h Are special bargain days on Lamps and Lamp Goods at Law's.

CROSS AND WHITE ARRESTED, True Bills fr Forgery-Br laifc Toronto, the Boodler'e Retet ;X 5??J 4 & Special to the AshevlUp tJrfUBt.f' Raleigh, N. C, March 30, 10 p. m. It is impossible to describe the sensation created here to-day by news that Cross and While, the de- faultinc President, and Cashier of the State National Bank had been arrested at Toronto, Canada, last night,and would be brought here by next Tuesday. When captured they had with them $25,oOO. The charge ol forgery was so clearly proven to the Grand Jury of the Superior Court in session here this morning that t'ue bills were very soon found against them in three cases. Oneofthe bills is against Cross for forging the names of Willis Avera and B. T. Bowler of John ston county on a note lor 7,50Q oth'rs art a-insi- boUi t.'rc&3 and White for forg;ng name? of D. H. Graves and W il. Saun ders, also of Johnston county, for six thousand dollars Indictment was also found individually against White for forgery on Avers, and Graves. Avera died in January last, and the forgery ot his name was ommitted the 7th of ihe pres ent month. Notice was at once sent to Chief Constable Grosset of Toron to, Canada, who had made the it rest that true bills bad been found and that this evening U. S. District Attorney Fab Busbee, Chief of po lice Heartt, of Raleigh; Book-keeper Womble, cf the plundered Bank; D. H. Graves and W. H. Saunders as witnesses to forgery would leave here. This party left direect for Toronto at G o'clock this evening and will ar rive Sunday. It is expected that Cross and White will t.u brought back here for trial Tuesday, and thu grand jury will be in session ready for them. Forgeries so far discov ered are txtpnsive and will reach over fifty thousand dollars. It is sta'ed White telegraphed Chief of Police here this afternoon in these words : "Come after us, will home with you." The negro janitor, Griffith, of the bank, who fled with Cross and White, came back this afternoon. He says they all got to Toronto early last Monday; say i he left Cross and White in Toronto, and they were drunk. They gave him on Wednesday money and ticKet here. F. A. O. Trains Running on Time. The slide on the A. & S. road near Saluda has been removed, and trains on that line are now tunning on regular schedule lime. Gas Lights for Kagle Street, ('apt McLoud yesterdaj' informed us that a line of street gas lamps would be placed on Eagle street, from its entrance into Main street to the, colored Episcopal Church, also running through "the acre." The church will also be lighted by gas. I'recocious. Mr. J. M. Case, of Arden yester day brought to our office a gallon or so of new Irish potatoes from the size of a marble up to that of a wal nut. They were the bona fide growth ot this seas u, and would be relished as ''new potatoes." They were not however, the rfsult. of cul tivation, but the spontaneous grow th in and around the pit or bed in which the crop of last season had been stored.

Of Asheville, has as heretofore stat -.d in these columns, been designated i:s a national depository by Secretary Fair-child. Yesterdaj' morning a hand some sign, bearing the legend "De pository" was swung out on the batik building fronting Main street. TLr First National is one of the soli'i banks of the country, and it would be hard indeed to rlucl a clevem pair of hr.nk officials than Messrs. Breese auJ Penland. i The Savins; Banks. A friend writes us tha following i. 4iIIave "cm organize the , i:igs Bank so as to pay legal interest on deposits.. That would encourage us poor people to save and economise so as to de posit a little ior a rainy day.'7 The French Broad Snvhius Bank is already inactive and uselul opera- tion, and within about two wevks' the Western Carolina Savings Bank will be opened for business. So our irienn can begin the laying up bust ness, and we hope v. ill. The Ti:!

They come well recommended by the press, and ws have no doubt will be greeted upon their appearance here; by a full house. The Chicaga Tribune in speaking of a recent performance by the company in that city says: . ''The entertainment given by the Reek Band Cornet Company last evening, under the auspices of the V. M. C. A., was a success, rarwull Hall was crowded to stiiVocatien. About three thousand p eple were present, and many were unable to gain admittance.'' The entertainment in tlii- city will be given for the benefit of the Ashe- ville Female College chapel. A Fruit I'ul 1'ii-tiire. There is on exhibition at Lyons' drug' store an oil painting' done by Mrs. P. P. Claxton, of this city, which for richness oi color ing' and naturalness of the object portrayed, equals if not to the eyes of the expert art critic, :d least the commoner herd the work of famous hands. The sub ject seems to be a German one, and. the luscious grapes, oranges, lemons, dates, and other fruits make the mouth water. A bottle of champagne and a barrel "H 100" loom out from the dark back ground, natural and, so to speak, life-like. The Normal Prof. Shepherd.

Washington. D. C, March 29. In the Senate Mr. Berrv of Arkan sas delivered an address upon the President's message. He spoke of the universal interest awakened by the bold and fearless manner in which the svstc-m of federal taxa- tion was discussed in that message, and said that the tune could not much longer be delayed when some change must be made in that sj's tem. When fairiy canvasstd and umlerstiod its injustice would (he believed) necessitate a change. Tax ation should bo for revenue pui poses only. The present system was utterly indefeasible; it was fun damentally wrong in principle and doubly wrong in its details. As to tho proposition of protectionists to repeal the tax on whisky, Leer and tobacco, lie expressed himself as en tirely opposed to it. Taxes could be collected on these articles with less injury to the people than on ;;ny articles consumed by the hu man hiiui.y, and so lo.:g as it was neo'-ssary to collect taxes for the use of the government it was indefensi ble to say that they should be re moved from whisky and beer.

In the Mouse, ?.lr. Nelson of Min nesota, republican, d liveied an ad dress upon the tariii'. "The question of ;rotectioii or free trade was not fairly involved in tho question Conines had to solve," said Mr. Neiro;:. "The question was whether the surplus should be got rid of by extravagant expenditures or wheth er taxes should be reduced. The great body of the people were agreed that the surplus should be reduced by the reduction of taxa tion. The next question presented wa?t whether that reduction should be applied to the tariii' or internal revenue taxation. Tne reduction of tax on liquors ho he'd to be out of the question and as to tobacco tax while there: was greiter diversity of opinion, Mr. Nelson thought there was n serious clamor for its removal. The tariff taxes niiuht i.t- properly divided into 'wo Lettd: l-'evetHie tax like that on t: a -d coll'ee ami protective tax like ihat on commodities not for-ei;:- to our own country. On:y so high duty should be laid as would fairiy coyer the difference in cost of pioduetion here and abroad. That! is wi.at he termed a low tax, any rate above that Wus high tariff. It had been the :a;hio:i to ascribe the hijdi-r wages of this country to 'he taiifl. That .he considered to be false pr.

Mr. Nelson next quoted western Republican platforms declaring in fiver of a reduction in the tariff at an early day, and added amidst the laugnter and applau-e of the Democrats : "And now my friends is the appointed time."

Ho remembered distinctly seeing the shoes there the night before, and his suspi cions Avere fixed upon Albright as the guilty party. A key to the front door was missing', and as Albright' worked in the same building, it was supposed that he had approximated it for the pur pose, of "me ciry. Another theory of Mr. Graham's was, that Al bright hail hid himself in the fur niture store the night before, anil had been locked up unknowingly. Mi-. Graham at once communica ted his suspicions to Detective Denver and employed him to work up the ease. Mr. D. went' to work and soon fixed tho crime, beyond doubt, upon Albright, by search ing his house and finding; lhe sto len property secreted therein. In addition to the shoes stolen from Graham the detective also found two pairs of ladies' shoes, worth about SO per pair. The officer ar rested Albright and carried him lufore Justice Snmniey, where tho above state of f;u-ts was devel oped. The Justice committed Albright to jail in default of bail to await trial at tho not f orm of the inferior court. - - - "Oh.
