of excellent, patten and finished work
maLship from good materials, and the

brought here under the charge of Mr. W.
H. Huffman, the agent for tbe house from
whom tbey were ordered. For five con
secutive yeare this gentleman has visited

b'ateheld a levee at tie City Hill this
morning.

language on the corner of Fourth and
Harnett j streets on Saturday night;
for which offence the Mayor pro
nounoed sentence of $5 fine, or ten
days in the City Prison. His Honor
remarking at the same time that this
habit of being so bobteroae, and
cursing I and swearing on the streets,
must be broken up.
W. llj Blackbutu, colortd, was the
next and last caeeon docket, charge
larceny, j Duncan Holden and Lewis
Hick, both colored men, were the
witnesses. From the evidence gien
in, it appears that Holden on Saturday
night while purchasing a piece of beef
in the market offered a $5 bill in pay
ment of the same, and the teller of
the meat being unable to change the
bill, Bi&ckburn, who was standing
near, offered to take the money over
to Mr. Dawson's hardware store and
get it changed. To this Holden read
ily acceded and handed him the fire
dollars. But the defendant it appears
foregot to return.and when at last he was
overhauled by the second named wit
ness, Lewis Hicks, some three hours
afterwards, had only four cents bl the
five dollars remaining. It Vh'ould
be mentioned, however, ' that the
defendant acknowledged to have
treated j himself to a new
pair cf shoes for which he
gave three of the five dollars. The
remaining SI 96 went where the tfood

The Mayor bound Blackburn over
in a justified bond to the amonnt of
$50 for his appearance at the next
term of the Criminal Court to answer
to the charge of larceny. The wit
nesses Holden and Hicks were recog
nized to. appear at that time as wit
nesses in behalf of the State. There

Returning Home.
For the past few days our streets, es
pecially along the " line of the wharver,
have been enlivened by tbe presence of a
great number of strangers from up the

ot timber and naval stores to market.
From 75 to 100 of these strangers took

charged with murder. At tbe time we

The Agent of tbe syndicate.
Mr. W. J. Beat, the agent of the syn

North Carolina Eailroad, had a con
ference with some of our wealthiest and
most prominent citizens on Saturday last,
for the purpose of inducing them, as we
understand, to offer no opposition to tbe
sale of that road. We do not know the
arguments used by Mr. Bestm furtherance
of the scheme, but we are told that the
gentlemen in question gave the agent of
the capitalists a respectful hearing, but
no decided answer.
