The attendance at Sunday Schools is getting to be large as the season ap proaches for pic-uics and excursions. i ; i i Several dramatic troupes are wending their way North.

Memorial Day. Humored. j It was rumored on the strata last night and this morning that some man in this city tried to pat an end to his existence yesterday by hanging, but that he was discovered in time and cat down We could trace the report to no reliable source and think in sdl probability that tfome one started the report just to give us a local. Bis: Swisnusinjr. We learn from Mr. W. J Hand, who was a witness to the feat, that a young steer attached to a cart ran sway from his owner and driver, a colored man, yesterday, near the Northeast ferry, nine miles from this city, and plunged into the river and swam across, having a car with about 400 pounds of load on ths cart. It seems that ' the colored man who was driving the steer at the time had be:n into the city with a load and was on his return home, and in going d iwn the hill towards the ferry, the steer bicame frightened and ran into the boat, and from thence into the river. In going out of the boat the wheels became detach, ei and were left behind, while the frame with the load continued attached by the shafts to the steer. The water , was about eighteen feet deep where he jumped over board, hut he made a straight line for the opposite shore which he reached, and with the assistance of M . Hand, who was present, he landed safely with his cargo minus only a few bars of soap which were washed off in tbe passage. The distance across the river at this point Is nearly ort quite 200 yards. A If oa Paying easiness. A producer having ca' led our attention to the tact of the very low price of tar, we together entered this morning into a calculation concerning the sost of the production of this commodity with the following result: We will take for an example that the producer intends making a 50 barrel kiln, the expenses of which are first: saTo the labor of one man two weeks to cut the light wood 86. 00 One man s labor and horse and cart one week to haul to the kiln . 6.00 Banking the kiln 5.00 Burning and running off the A A same ouu 50 empty barrels at 40c each... 20.00 Hauling to the river 5 00 Freight and expenses in Wil mington 80c per bbl 15.00 Total cost of production and ex- pec ses $62.00 Credit by 50 bbls merchantable tar, 300 lbs to the bbl at 82 J Coats per ebi of 2-0 lbs 44.20 Deficit $17 80 L. aving a balance as above stated on the debit side of the producer, after pacing tbe expenses of making the article and placing it on the market , of $17.80; In other words, the producer, after selling his 40 barrels of tar and pocketing the proceeds finds on bis return home, when he eudearors to pay his laborers, that be is short $17.80, and lacks just that amou t o pay oS his hands, and coaseqiently, after all his labor, trouble and worry, to say nothing of the coat of the lightwood, he is in debt $17 80. In this tiew of the case we think it oar turpentine fanners snd tar producers would torn their attention to tilling the soil, planting chufas, wheat, rice, flax or tobacco, and cultivate a less area of ground than has bean their custom for some years when planting cotton, and enrich their plot of ground from time to time with farm manure, they would find, in our opinion, a falter crib and smoke house, besides having a heavier purse to buy S i Hie and the children a new dress and Sunday clothes to go to church in at the end of the year, and possibly, in the coarse of a few years, Use farmer who quits entirely the product ion ef turpentine may be able to run a two-horse farm where now he only runs one, er probably a four horse team where now' it is only tae. What say our friends in tbe country to trying a change ? Th y have tried the turpentine busi ass for, k ! these many years, and have tested it thoroughly and, as we and trstand the matter, are getting oorer and orer every year, 11 . ' ' " . J. . c Rwtew Reception ef His Excellency, Cot erner T J. Jarrls and Parly. The arrival of Hon. Thomas J. Jar vis, Chief Magistrate of the fc.ta!e of North Carolina, Col. Win. L. Saunders Secre tary or' State, an 1 Mj r U A. Gi .i im was announced ltnitjf.t by the booaiig Ol cannon from a becii u of the Cap Fear Light Artillery uliuued near tbe depot, as the 9:53 train from the North, i bearing trie Governor and party, r:l!ed iututhc depot. The party, after a short ' hands shakiiiy, itej.pei into carriages j which ere awaiting them and drovi rapidiy uowu Front street to the PurceH HouseV'where quite a large crowd had as sembLed to greet the Executive of the State. There was, however, uo demon stration of any kind beyoud the fact tha1 a goodly number of citizens had assem bled in front of tne hotel to pay their re spects to His Excel 1 eucy, some of w;om expected that the Governor would deliver a small taTk m the occasion of this, his first visit to us as tbe h:gbest official in the State. But after alighting Irom the car riage the party entered the hotel where the proceeded without delay to brush away the dust of travel, Col. F. W. Kerchner, in the meantime, appearing in front to announce to the crowd assem bled that His Excellency would not be able to make a speech to-night owing to the fatigue of his journey, but that he would be glad to meet and shake hands with his fellow-citi-zsns in the reading room ol the hotel in a few moments. Accordingly the crowd began to throng the room set apart for the reception and the Governor coming in a faw moments-later all hats were doffed when Col. H. B. Short and Col. F. W. Kerchner proceeded to introduce the different gent'.emen as they cameforwaid. His Excellency is a man of fine physique, standing about six feet, one inch, is rather retirisg and modest in his demeanor and extends his left hand to shake, his right arm haing been crippled to such an extent by Yankee bullets during the late war that he has now very little control of it. Af er the reeeption, the Governor and party! retired to the dining-room to partake of supper, and the crowd adjourned. To-day His Excellency and party, ac companied by several gentlemen of .this city, took a drive to Wrightsville Sound, where they spent the day, expecting to return this evening in time to participate in the festivities ef the ball of the Lotus Club at Germania Hall, w hich is given in honor of the Governor. To-morrow morning the party will make an excursion to Waecamaw Lake as the guests of Cel . H. B. Short where they will sail out on the lake and proceed to haul in the fish which Col. S. alUges that be has already baited and waiting fer them. The party from tho Lake will return home to Raleigh direct. Climbing the Pole. Several unsuccessful attempts were made yesterday afternoon to reave the halliards on the Denrocratic flag pole on Front street. A sailor was engaged to do the work and several times climbed near ly to tbe mast-head but as the pole was very slender and apt te be broken by his weight he came down and this morning lewered the top-mast, reeved the hallia ds and then raised the mast to its proper place. The flag of the Nation was te-day run ep in honor ot Governor J arris smi SacrtUry of State Saunders. Mr. J C. Lurnsden has very courteous ly extended an invitation to the Governor, Col. Saunders and Maj. Gilliam to par take of tie hospitalities ef his ice cream and strawberry saloon at any time daring their stay in Wilmington.
