A Singular Affair. About the first of
January, a young man by the name of Cooke
formerly of Orange county, left the store of
W. F. Blackwood, Esq. living in the south
ern part of Wake county, to attend a party at
a Mr Rowland's. He bought a vest before
settiug out, and in paying for it exhibited a
considerable amount of money which, it is said,
he had borrowed to pay for a tract of laud he
had recently purchased.
He left Mr Blackwood's and after an hour
or two's absence his horse returned with the
saddle aud briddle on; his friends took him up
without any mi pleasant suspicious, supposing
that he had reached the place of his destina
tion and that the horse had broke loose. Next
day being Sunday the matter was thought but
little of and it was on the Monday following,
before any search was made.
Since that time however, a thorough search
has been made but without any clue to the sad
fate of this unfortunate young man.
The impression is, that he was murdered and
robbed of the money he had. Ral. Metropolitan.
Sad Effects of Drunkenness. Mr William
Hilton, of this place, came to his death a few
days since at the hands of a young man of this
County by the name of William Wyse. It
appears from report, that ou Saturday the 20th
inst., the parties met in the store of Mr Major
Phillips, near the Court House that the de
ceased was greatly under the influence of liquor,
and that Wyse was also laboring under its
eSeets that Mr Hilton seized hold of Wyse
and handled him somewhat roughly, upon which
Wyse told the deceased that if he repeated it
he would cut him, and Hilton either to brave
the threat or acting without motive, seized
Wyse by the hair and pulled his head down
nearlyto the floor at the same time, Wyse
drew bis knife and stabbed him in two different
places tetween the hip and ribs. It was thought
4dje niysie'Auisthat ' the awdunds' jrtf.re.
8pionstmt Union died fro?the tlfects ofC4
on Thursday night, the 25th inst. It appears,
from a post mortem examination, that the knife
unluckily penetrated through and wounded his
intestines. Wyse was arrested shortly after
the affray and put under bonds, aud at his ex
amination before the magistrates, since the
decease of --Hilton, he was placed under the
heavy bond of $10,000 for his appearance at
Court. We forbear making any remark upon
the criminality or partial innocence of Mr
Wyse, as we look upon the State as amply to
do itself justice, and do not desire to prejudice
the public mind either for or against the crim
inal Newbern Journal.
We copy the following good story from the
Kanawha (Virginia) Republican which is all
the better for being true :
"Two Spiritual Rappers, at Mountain Cove
in Fayette county, recently had a dispute about
the title to some land. They went to law
employed their lawyers but, before the day of
trial, concluded that it was wrong for brethren
of the same faith to go to law and mutually
agreed to refer the case to their respective
counsel, who, after investigation, concluded
that the property clearly belonging to one of
the parties, and so gave their decision. The
defeated party refused to abide by the award,
declaring that he would carry the case up to
St. Paul and for this purpose asked time to
go to 2Cew York, and get his decision, through
the Rappers there. The counsel consented. In
a few weeks he returned and reported that he
had laid the case, with all the papers, before
St. Paul, and that he had examined them
thoroughly and had decided by the laws of
Moses and of Heaven, the land belonged to
Ihim; but advised him, as the laws of Virginia
were so very uncertain, to give it up!
- The Gaines case again. The New Orleans
Bulletin says :
"The claim of Mrs Gaines against the city
of New Orleans, which was thought to have
received its Quietus by the decision of the Su
preme Court of the United States, has been
again sprung upon the city upon a new ground
that of the will of Daniel Clark of 1813.
Her suit is ' brought iu the second district
court. If the city will have to pay $50,000 to
defend its interests from this new attack, it
bsji better surrender at once the property
fcMimeu: for that Dart of the claim which he-
longs to the city is worth only about $30,000
at least such is the opinion of an eminent letral
1 gentleman, given under oath in Judge Lea's
court last week."
Another Fatal Catastrophe bv Fire We
learn that on Monday last, a little child of Mr
Dame, of this county, standing or playing near
the fire at his residence, its clothing was caught
in the flames; the child ran to its mother, who
caught it up in her arras. Her clothing im
mediately took fire, and she was so badly burn
ed that she died in a few honrs afterwards.' The
child, at last accounts was still alive, but no
hope entertained of its - recovery. Salisbury

By the influence of Commodore Stockton
and Senator Clemens, an act was passed by
Congress wiping ont the amount of defalcat ion,
by crediting hpn therewith; and personal influ
ence induced Mr Fillmore again to reinstate
him, and he was put in command of the Bain
bridge, with which vessel he returned from the
Brazil station, because Commodore Salter did
not see fit to s-eud him up to Paraguay to
interfere in Consul Hopkins' quarrel, when his
senior officer, Lieutenant Page a brave and
prudent man was already there with the
Water Witch. It will be home in mind that
when he started for home, he was already un
der positive orders to make a specific cruize.
The Regulations afix -the punishment of death
to the crime of leaviug a post without orders
or being relieved; aud Lieutenant Uuutcr has
fared well to get off with summary dismissal.
Horrible Parricide. A few days since, in
Logan county, Va., a man of the name of
Markham, being engaged iu something abou.
which he wished the aid of one of his sons,
calhid ou him for assistance. The young man
refused aid in an impertinent manner, w here
upon, the father, calliug to auother son to take
charge of the matter in hand, started to chas
tise the disobedient son. He fled around the
house, the father pursuing, and soon after dis
appearing from the sight of the son who re
mained behind, he heard a blow of so singular
a sound as to induce him to ruu at once to see
the cause. On turning round the corner of the
bouse, he found his father lying oti bis face,
hit back bone literally cut in twain by a blow
with an axe, and in the agonies of death ; iu fact,
b'Ifvci'biii about" thirty !iinto. The mur
eft rer, (rhc son who bad tied) was apprehended,
and on the introduction of the axe upon an ex
amination before a Justice of the Peace, admit
ted it to be the weapon with which he killed his
father. The name of Markhain.Vays the Taze
well Advocate, has been for years notorious on
the waters of Sandy, by its connection with
bloodshed and homicide.
Terrible Scene at a Spanish Ball At
Madrid, a few nights back, a lady gave a ball,
and amongst the guests were a Mr R and
M'lle B . It wras observed that the young
man constanstly kept clo ;e to the young lady,
and followed her when she went from one part
of the room to another. It was noticed that
she seemed greatly annoyed by his attentions.
The mother of the young lady wished to inter
fere, but the mistress of the house, anxious to.
avoid an unpleasant scene, prevented her. At
a late hour, a lady of high rauk and her daugh
ters were announced, and the whole party rose
to receive them. Mr R , taking advantage
of the slight confusion which this created, seized
M'lle B -by the hand, and whispered some
thing in her ear. She turned pale, then blushed,
and replied in a low voice. Thereupon the young
mau, without saying a word, pulled a poignard
from his pocket, stabbed the young lady in the
breast, and then stabbed himself near the heart.
Both fell bathed in blood. A surgeon was im
mediately sent for, and on his arrival he found
that the wound of the young lady was not mor
tal, as the poignard had struck the sternum,
but the young man was quite dead. It is said
that Mr R had long sought M'lle 13 in
marriage, but that she had refused to accept
liini, aud that, meeting her at the ball, he had
again pressed her to accept his addresses, but
that she bad again peremptorily refused.
The Verdant Groomsman. On no occasion
(says the Springfield Republican) do peopie
seem more prone to commit blunders than at a
weddjpg. The following actually occurred in a
neighboring town :
In the midst of a crowd of witnesses the
clergyman had just completed that interesting
ceremony which binds in the silver bonds of !
wedlock two willing hearts, and sfctched forth
his hand to implore the blessings of heaven ou
the union. At this point the groomsman, see
ing the open hands reached out supposed it was
the signal for him to surrender the wedding fee,
which was burning in his pocket Accordingly,
just as the clergyman closed his eyes in prayer,
he felt the pressure of two sweaty , half dollars
upon his open palms. .
The good man hesitated a moment, appalled
at the ludicrousness of ' his situation, bet cooly
depositcd the money in his pocket, aud proceed
ed with his devotions.

Wasn't I There, Too? At the recent elec

himself at the polls to claim the benefit of the
elective franchise. .
Feeling a deep interest in a favorite candi
date, the father, who was evidently opposed to
the boy'a preference, stood at the ballot-box
and challenged his right to a rote, on the
ground of his not being of age. ; The young

that he knew it, aud that he insisted upon his
right. - - -

The we'I informed- Paris correspondent of the"
National Intelligence, Z gives some interesting
facts and and ' speefthttioas upon this subjects
General Prince Napoiofljii Bonaparte, son of tbo
Emperor's Uncle -t Jerome at present stand
next the throne as sceessr of Napoleon III,
Bat bis chance of succeeding him according to
this correspondent, is eminently, problematical.
It seems that the Emperor, failing natural issue
of his own body, may adopt an heir, who would
then take tbe place as imperial Prince and heir
to the throne between the Emperor and Priiteo
KapoJeori. -Upon his assumption of imiieriaf
power, tbe -Emperor '.reused to adopt bis cousin
d'talitv.ln4 a-ai tbenv.
Ettpfcof ha -mjaoy jdesigiiated - in his owir
mind, in the event of Eugenia failing to become
a mother, the heir of bw throne. This is sup
posed to be one f the rons f tbe Roman Re
publican Ex-President Prince Caaifio, ai.d is a
Bonaparte throughout, being the grandson on
the paternal side of Lucia n Bonaparte, and oi
the maternal side of Joseph Bouaparte, brothers
of Nepoleon 1.
The same correspondent alro mentions that
highly derogatoryreports are in circulation in
Paris, in reference to Gen. Prince Bonaparte,
who is returning frotu the Crimea, though they
do uot much harn. his reputation. These re
ports indicate that the military career of the
Prince does not present a striking resemblance
in heroism to that of the first General Bona
parte. The allies it is believed, can take Se
bastopol without, the aid of the Prince. But
the correspondent rciteFates his incredulity of
these disparaging rumors. He says thVhc has
felt sure from the beginning, and has more than
once said so in his letters, that Napoleon III
would allow no Bonaparte to gain military dis
tinction. Espefiully would a serious military
career be closed to the. Prince Napoleon Bona
parte, who bears personally so striking a re
semblance to his uncle Napoleon' I If allowed
to establish for himself a substantive reputation
as a general, why, with his name, Napoleon
Bonaparte, and his strong resemblance in fea
ture to the true Napoleon, he would only have
to put on the fanwus cocked hat, with the his
torical paletot gris, and ride along tbe lines ami
carry every regiment of the French army by
acclamation to. the cry of Vive l'Empererrrl
Napoleon III would hold his throne by a very
insecure tenure in presence of a General Bona
parte of reputation and real ability.'
There can be no doubt that any real hero,
who can reap laurels in, such a barren field as
the Russian war presents, whether he bore, the
name of a Bonaparte or . not, would give Louis
Napoleon great uneasiness. Hence he will
make peace as soon as . possible, and we shall
be ,gre;arly surprised if the Emperor NichOTas, .
who-kirtwsi some tiding r wen and things, sub-' " "
mits to any" sacrifice of territory or honor in the
negotiations now in progress at Vienna. But
it appears the height of absurdity that a sensi
ble man like Louis Napoleon should trouble
himself about the succession to the throne. If
he can hold on to himself till the end of his
natural life he will be a lucky man, and more
fortunate than the greatest of the Bonapnrtcs
There is no earthly chance for any successor
of tha name. France, upon his death, will fall
back into the arms of legitimacy or some ener
getic military aspirant, or crafty political jug
gler like himself, will .teize the reins of power.
Strong-armed and strong-minded women.
A dispatch from Cincinnati says :
"At Mount Pleasant, in this county, about
fifty women attacked and demolished a largo
quantity of liquor belonging to a tavern-keeper,
and dragged the owner through the liquor,
which stood six inches deep on the floor. War"
rants were sworn out in the police court for
about twenty, but the police returned this
afternoon, and reported an inability to make
arrests,"
Where Cork comes from. Cork is nothing
more or less than the bark of evergreen oak,
growing principally iu Spain, and other coun
tries bordering the Mediterranean: in English
gardens it is only a curiosity. When the cork
tree is about 15 years old, the cork has attain
ed a thickness and quality suitable for manu
facturing purposes j and after stripping, a fur--thcr
growth of eight years produces a second
crop; and ko on, at intervals, for even ten or'
twelve crops. The bark is stripped from the
tree in pieces two inches in thickness, of consi
derable length, and of soch width as to retain
the curved form of the trunk when it lias been
stripped, The bark-pcelcr or cutter makes a
slit in the bark, with a knife, perpendicularly
from the top of the trunk to the bottom; "he
makes another incision parallel to it, and nt
some distance from the former, and two shorter
horizontal cuts at the top and bottom. For
stripping off the piece thus isolated, he nses n
kind of knife with two handles aud a curved
blade. Sometimes, after the cuts have becrv
made, he leaves the tree to throw off the bark
by the spontaneous action of the vegetation
within the trunk. The detached pieces are
soaked in water, and are placed over a fire
when they are nearly dry; they are, in fact,
scorched, a little ou both sides, and acquire a
somewhat more compact texture by this scorch--ing.
In order to get rid of the" curvature, and
bring them flat, they arc pressed down with
weights whiie yet hot. .
A Hint of Great Value to ma Poor,
An old and valued friend suggests to ns the
importance of calling the attention of those
wii-j means will not allow tbtm to provide
therr.selves with aw ample supply of bed cloth
ing and tire wood, to the fact that if they fill
one. or two black- bottles with water, heated so
that one ean hardly hold, tbe hand in it, and
place them, corked tightly, iCShe bed at their"
feet, they will sleep comfortably warm without
fire in the room, and with much less than the
ssual quantity of bed clothing. In the morn
ing the water i the bottles will be found still
quite warm. The practice of this expedient
will save any family the consumption of mere
or less'" wood,, and afford a comfortable night's
rest to man', indeed, who must otherwise suffer
much for sufficient bod covering.- Ex paper.
