Peter McKeever, colored, better known as the "rag man," died suddenly at ins residence, ia this city yesterday morning. Peter for some time past has been suffering rom a pulmonary disease, but plied his vocation of buying rags, from house to house, up to Tuesday night, when, after going home, as well as usual, he was taken with hemorrhage-of the lungs, and died before morning. ! j On Hand at Las . j It is to be hoped that Judge Seymour; ar rived safely in Lumberton yesterday mornv ing and the lawyers, jurors and witnesses who had been waiting on him for two days were at last accommodated by having the business that called , them to Lumberton attended to. Judge Seymour was in Charlotte Tuesday and the Observer gives as his excuse for not be iag ut Lumberton that he had been delayed by a failure to .; make railroad i connection. New Appointment to the congres sional Executive Committee. We learn that Captain Chas. D. Myers, Chairman of the Executive Committee for this Congressional District, has appointed Mr. W. F. Howland, of Beaufort, to the vacancy occasioned some mcnths ago in Carteret, by the death of Mr. W. G Goffrey, of that county, and that Mr. Howland has signified his acceptance of the same. The new committeeman is, we understand, a gentleman of influence and position in Carteret and is at present Chairman of the! Board of County Com missioners in that county. A Rip Van Winkle Mall. We read in some of our exchanges a few days ago 'of the safe arrival at Boston of a postal card which had made the cir cuit of the globe in 106 days. ! But we 'can mention something in the of way the rapid transit of mail matter that beats that all hollow. A gentleman who re sides in Columbus county recieved a lettter through Robeson post office, W. C. A. Rl R., on "the 23df last month (Oct 1879) which bore the date of Elizibeth- town, Bladen county, June 24th, 1878. The letter was only fifteen months' in .go ing from its starting place to the place of destination, a distance of 75 miles. Our friend, who informed us of the incident, was the party receiving the letter, and he farther informed ns that he immediately replied to the favor of Jane ,24th, 1878, giving his reasons for not acceding to the request contained in said letter, to wit: that the request came a little over twelve too late. Where this letter had journey ed to all this time is a mystery as yet un explained as there were no marks of the Dead Letter Office on the envelope when received. Sealskin sacquea are a little shorter this season than they were last Winter, prob ably becan&e the long saque does not look well with the short walking skirt now universally worn. Magistrate's Court. j Justice Gardner yesterday aftcrrooa bound' Pooipey Snecd aud William Small, alias Smoky Bill, over to the Crinr ioal Court in. the sum of $50 upon the charge of the larceny of a boit from David Statcher, in default of which the d ifen dants were cotrmitted. The parties are ail colored. 1 To-day before the same Justice s Court, Edward S. Gause, colored, waa tried up on a peace warraot eusd out by Stephen Washington, colored. ' The judgment was, that defendant pay the costs in the case and enter into bond in the sum of $50 to keep the peace until the first Mon day in February next, and als for his appearance at Justice Gardner's office at the date above mentioned. ,' The Alleged Meteoric Display. A writer on' astronomical phenomena for the monfh explodes the statement that we are to have that grand meteoiid display to-night to which so many people have been looking forward, saying ; A great deal has been said concerning a grand dis play of meteors expected to come eff on the night of the (1C h. . uch a tbidg is possible, but no more probable than On the 13th of any other November. The sensa tion was started by one 4Pxuf.' Tice, of Louis, an astronomer ' who makes all his observations through a bit of smoked win dow glass. lie claims to.have discovered Vulcan, a planet suppo sed to exist within the orbit of Mercury,' and to have ac complished the job aided only by such an instrument as we have just nan.ed. This little meteoric production of his got into the newspapers by soma means or other, going the rounds , after the manner of many other similar things; and that is all there is of it."

The trial of Miss Linkhaw, for the murder ot Ed. ilartman, will come up for trial this week jn Robeson Superior Court, now in session at Lumberton. It was presented at the spring term of the court, but owing to some defect in th bill of indictment, had to be remanded t the grand jury at the following term. The killing is of such j recent occurence and has been spoken of so freely in detail in the columns of the Review, as not to require that the circumstances should be repeated here, farther than the young man was shot in to say that the parlor of a hotel in Lumberton by the accused, who charged him with having seduced her under promise of marriage. Shortly after the tragedy Was enacted Miss Linkhaw had a child, which is still living. As the case has already been in the courts nearly a year, it is not likely that there will be a continuance. "The Mighty Dollar." ! This play will be presented to morrow (Friday) night at the Opera House in this city. The principal characters will be represented1 by Mr. and Mrs. W. J. Flor ence, for whom the play was written' sup ported by a first class company. , 'The Mighty Dollar" is a play which never tires an audience. It has just had a season of unequalled success, crowding the immense New York Opera House io overflowing. It is brim-full of fun,and the characters, Bardwell Slote and Alr Gen eral Gilfroy, suit the capacity of Mr. and Mrs. Florence in j comedy. Their abllily is so well known that the announcement means inimi.able drollery and an abun dance of hilarity and amusement. A special feature for the ladies is the new wardrobe th it Mrs. Florence has pur chased for the season. An outlay of many thousand dollars has purchased from Worth, :of Paris, and other distin guished mdet3, costumes of exqu'site taste and magnificenco.
