Cleapor, a well- known barber of thw city, and who for a f long time has been Secretary and Treasurer of the Pine Forest Cemetery Company, is a defaulter to the company, but to what amount we cannot ascertain as yet. It is thought that cleapor took the Northern bound train this morning and will try to get out of the State. At the Month of the River. The ao at the mouth of the river night before last and early yesterday morning was very severe, but wo. have not yet learned of any serious damages sus tained either on shore or at sea. At 2J o'clock the wind was traveling at tho almost unprecedented rate, for this sec tion of 66 miles an hour. It is hoped that there will be no disasters to report. Vital Statistics. From the books of Dr. A. E. Wright, (Sty Physician, we glean the following vital statistics for the month of Sep tember : i Among the white residents during the month there were 9 marriage, 19 births, 1 still-birth, 16 deaths ; and among the colored people there were 10 marriages, 22 births, 3 stillbirths and 26 deaths. , J U Criminal Court.

Seeingjs beHering, runs the old adage, but the "audience assembled at the Opera House last evening to witness" Prof. Goeke's Expose of Spiritualism saw many things hard to believe, whether form ' the standpoint of the; confirmed, Spiritualist or that of the stubborn skeptic. The au dienee was one of the finest of the season.' After much persaassoa on theart of the Professor,' a committee was induced to pre88 J;tlvgeL s The first test performed was that known aa the wine and water mystery, as given by! Mrs. Holmes, the Philadelphia Medium; A clean hen pitcher an& glass tmnhlcrf were first examined by the committee, who pronounced them just as represented, devoid of all trickery. Professor Cooke then, at will, pouredjfrom the same pitcher wine or water as tho committee chose to have it. He then held two tumblers side by side, and in one he poured wine and the other water, often creating a laughter at the expense of the committee. Then began the real work of tho even mg. After being securely tied and fas tened in the cabinet Prof.iCooke produced all of the tests jjiven by the famous Dav enport Bros., and in a manner that would put those worthies to a blush. The next thing performed was the solid iron ring trick. A solid ring, after being examined, was placed around the arm of one of ttje committee while holding the Professor's hands. Tho most j inexplicable lest of the evening was the clairvoyance or mind-reading, in, which Miss Selome Crawford was introduced to the audience. Questions written by those on the stage and members of the audience, and re tained by them, received explicit and in telligcnt answers. We never before saw an audience so completely bewildered, and at a loss to account for the same, as last evening, when Miss Crawford an swered questions that no one in the house knew save the writer. Next fol lowed the Katie King mystery. Miss Cooke was securely fastened in the cabinet, a rope tied around her neck was drawn on the outside of the cabinet where the committee could see the same, and in a few moments a figure clad in white appeared upon the stage; return ing to the cabinet, the doors were thrown openj and there sat Miss Cooke the same as placed by the committee. Upon thiB. evening Prof. Cooke will perform these tests before the footlights, and explain the same. The newspapers from other cities testify that bo will do it, and none need fear to be disappointed. Reserved seats are selling rapidly, and those who have not secured them should go early. Trial of Elijah Keeter. The trial of Elijah Keeter, charged with the murder of Peter Robinson, which was set for to-day in the Criminal Court, is now in progress. Tho entire forenoon was exhausted injempanneling thejjury. A special venire of 97 true and lawful men, was summoned, and this was nearly ex hausted before the jury was fonnd. The following form this jury, vie Cornelius Jackson, John A. Wilson, George Honnet, Andrew Black well, John L. Dudley, Elijah Lane, H. W: Bryant, F. H. Mitchell, G. W. Wiggs,; Nicholas Morris, John G. Norwood, , John Mc Kitfhey. The jury having' been duly sworn and empanneled the Court took a recess unt'l 3 J o'cloclHhis afternoon and as we go to press the trial is in progress.

(ia tnatyouIajor ?) gives the following very interesting items from the times that have passed and been numbered with a pretiousera in the history. of our city: ; Efforts were made, it seems, in the olden timo.to make Raleigh a seaport. The en gineer, indeed, "advises against 'making Walnut Creek and Rocky Branch naviga ble," but Mr.'-Fultm," the 'engineer, "sees no difficulty jn making Crabtree navigable.7' Can it bo that this is , the Hamilton Fulton who had chargo of the attetdpted improvement of tho Cape Fear mer about the year 18207 If so, he would appear not to hare earned a greater fame here than at the head waters of the Neuse. In a letter of our Chamber of Commerce, under date of January 15, 1872, Henry Nutt, Esq., speaking of Mr. Fulton, in connection with the work on the Cape Fear in 1820, says he "prose cuted the work, for several years with lit tle success, not seeming to comprehend the difficulties in i ho way of restoring the old Eastern' channel." Writing of this old work on our river, "reminds me of a littlo joke." ' Tho late Hinton James, Esq., of Wilmington, had charge as contractor of a large number of laborers On the river works at that time. For their accommodation and protection, he had built by James Cassidey, Esq., a noted ship builder of those and later days, a covered fiat or lighter, which, from its appearanec, was called the, "Ark." One of its occupants, a negro man who had been baptized in the Episcopal Church, hearing that tho Bishop of the Diocese was about to visit the parish of St. James, applied to the then rector, tbc Rev. Dr. Empic, to be admitted as a candidato for confirmation. Finding the man was in earnest, and really desirons, Dr. E. began to examine him in the catechism and Bib lical history. Among other questions he "Who built the ark ?" The negro looked confused and made no reply. The question was repeated and there still being no answer tho Dr. inquired, "Don't you know?" "Yaas, Mass' Adam," said the man, "but you's making fun of me." ,. "Jtfo," returned thc'clergyman' who knew nothing of tho man's local habita tion, somewhat amazed, "toll mo wliu it was." "Mass' Adam," replied the candidate, looking very sheepish, "I believe Mass' Jcems Cassidey built 'am I" Sensible Advice, You are asked every day throu gh the columns of newspapers andby your Drug gist to use something for Dys pepsia and Liver complaint that you know nothing about; you get discouraged spending money with but little success.
