Serious Accident to Mr. James Thomp
son, j
We learn from a gentleman just lrom
Point Caswell that Mr. James Thompson,
a Magistrate of Pender county met with
quite a serious accident last Saturday,
which came very near proving fatal to
him. It seems that Mr. Thompson ac
companied by his wife and children and
Mr. James Col vin were returning from
Point Caswell to their home, riding in a
cart with a mule attached, and that the
mule took fright and ran, throwing Mr.
Thompson out in front of the cart, the
wheel passing over the right side of his
face, and severely injuring him, though
fortunataly the injury is not necessarily a
fatal one the balance of the party fell out
the rear end of the cart and we are hap
py to state sustained no serious injuries.
Mr. Thompson we learn has been confined
to his bed ever since.
State Factories.
The Farmer and Mechanic of Raleigh
furnishes a list of fifty-two cotton factories
in this State with the number of looms
and spindles in forty-two of them. The
factories are mostly small, but they make
a good beginning at any rate. The num
ber of looms, as far as reported, is 1,464,
and of spindles, 0,68C. The capital in
vested is estimated at above $1,600,000,
and the number of operatives employed,
3,288. Other mills of larger dimensions
than any now in operation are in course
of construction. . i -
The Opera House To-Xlght-Mr. Solh
ern as Lord Dundreary- . .
Ot course every one; who can, will go to
night and see this eminent comedian in
his great character of Lord Dundreary in
his popular comedy of "Our American
Cousin.'' In the impersonation' of this
character, Mr. Sothern stands without a
rival, rus reputation as a successful Don-
dreary is not confinedj to this! continent
but extends as far as the British Isles.)
The Norfolk Virginian in alluding to
Mr. Sothem's performances in that city
has the following to say upon the sub
ject: i
For a period of time, considerably ex
ceeding a decade of years Mr. Sothern
has been famous throughout this country
and Europe as Lord Dundreary, in Mr.
Byron s popular comedy, of Our American
cousin, in lact, all attempts to in an .
measure approach him in th'b sieat im
personation have proved futile, and to-day
ne stands without a rival. The announce
ment that he was to appear in Norfolk,
created a sensation, and last night it cul
minated in a crowded house. The audience
was composed of the elite of the two cities,
representatives from Old Point and lcini
ty, and, taking advantage of the special
train secure! throash the enerev of
W. T. Howell, Eq.. Suffolk, added to the
audience seventy of her citizens. It is useless
to speak in any extended manner of Mr.
Sothern & Lord Dundreary. It is hard to
describe, &s word painting" utterly fails to
do justice It is one ..of those peculiar
phases Of acting which must be seen to
be appreciated. Our readers have, prob
ably, a very good conception of the. speci
mens ot English nobility the author in
tended to represent, and we will only add
that Mr. Sothcrrii as an artist, has in his
xcceded thb original; for his mas
ter hand has continually retouched it.until
the comparatively crude portrait struck
off at first has been perfected. Ho re
ceived several encores, while tho side
splitting laughter aud entbuasiastic ap
plause showed that "he. was fully ap
preciated. . He was admirably supported.
A Goose Thief. I
Sometime, last night some thief cr
thieves entered tbe premises of Col. Jno.
L. Cantwel!,! pn Princess between Eighth
and Ninth streets, and stole therefrom
nine nne; largo tat iieesc. The fellow or
fellows, whoever it was.showcd good gen-
cralship, I some of tho same kind that
Grant showed around Petersburg in front
of tho mine, for instead of exposing himself
to the fierce yard; dogs, and
at the same time running the risk cf
Col. Cantwell opening upon him with his
-
dbgs of war; this shrewd strategist entered
the premises by tunnelling from a neigh
bor's yard and came up into tho poultry
house through the floor, the planks of
which had been taken j up a day or two
before, to allow the dogs o catch some
rats which had burrowed there. The
goose general must have taken fright at
something and beat a hasty retreat, for he
left some very fine ducks and other poul
try untouched. We don't know, bui we
think Col. Cantwell would like to have
the same kind of a visitor to-night.
