A Good Appointment
Mr, J. Hal. Boatwrigbt, clerk in tie
First National Bank, of this city, h
been' appointed Treasurer and Collector
of the Canal Fund in this county, by Abe
committee which was created and em
powered to make the appointment, at the
meetiqg of the stockholders held at the
rooms of the Produce Exchange, in thi
cityj some month or so ago.
j Is DissatfEfied.
We understand that Maria Hall has
expressed herself as very lauch dissatisied
with! the verdict of manslaughter as
brought in by the jary which tried her
casej She is reported as saying that she
would prefer hanging to imprisonment
for a long time. Her counsel, having
heard of her dissatisfaction, have sent her
word that there are six exceptions on
which the case could be appealed to the
Supreme Court and on which the verdict
of the eourt below would be set aside and
a new trial ordered. If she decides to ap
peal and a new trial is ordered she no
doubt will be gratified to the extent of
.having her neck stretched.
Newspaper "Entity.
The New York Herald, of the 19tb
iastant, has a diagram of the Winter Pal
ace at St. Petersburg in which the Czar of
Russia, but a few days since, so narrowly
escaped death at the hands of the nihil
ists, m hose emissaries had placed dyna
mite in the vaults beneath the palace and
by connecting electric wires caused this
fearful substance to explode killing b'ix
soldiers and severely wounding severa
others.-
The energy displayed in this instance is
only 'equalled by that which, two days
after the horrible disaster on the- Tay,
had a complete and accurate drawing of
the railroad bridge over that river with
the. section made vacant by the storm to
receive the train with all its livinzfreiga t

Robbing a Gtave.
About three score years ago there lived
near this city a Mr. Brocket, the father o
the late James Brocket, who was we!
known for his convivial habits, etc. On
the right hand of the old Newbern road,
just eight miles from this city, has been
for fifty odd years a tomb which held the
mortal remains of the old convivialist It
was his habit during his lifetime never to
let a person pass his house without tak
ing a Bccial glass together, and during bis
last illness i( was his request that be be
buried by the roadside, and tb ;t a bottle
of whiskey be placed at his right hand so
that he could ask the bovs to take a drink
with him. The tomb has been an old
landmark for mauy years and has never
been interfered with until about three
weeks ago," when a carriage from this city
ontaining tbree men, stopped at a shanty
onelmile from the tomb; about 10 o'clock
on the night of 31st of Jnuary, and
in resfoaso to inquires, the men were
directed to the tomb. The next morning,
persons living in the neighborhood discov
ered that the brick work of the tomb was
t irn to pieces, and that the bones of old
man Brocket had been taken out and left
iq the road. It has for a long time been
supposed that quite a sum of money was
buried with the body, but the supersti-
ion of the country people bad kept tbem
frcm interfering with tbe remains of the
old convivialist. The report that
mooev; had been buried there, had no
doubt reached tbe cars of mercenary and
i .
unscrupulous pccple in tue city who went
in the dead of the night and das up tbej
boces which had been moulderlUJ fcr over
a ba'f century. It is not known whether
)
tbe money diggers secured tbe gold they
sjughtor not. The bones were afterwards
replaced in the grave again and covered
over by persons liviog io'tht locality.

Fire at snitthrille.
We learn by telegram that a small one
story frame house at Smitbville which is
said to be owned by Charles Hudgins, of
this city, was consumed by fire this
morning about 11 o clock. 1 The house
was occupied by a colored family who had
locked it np and. were absent at the time
of the conflagration. The fire originated
probably from a spark Iron, a tir.' lace.
The house was somewhere in the vicinity
of Mr. T. M. Thompson's residence and
there was a rumor on the street this
morning that the above named gentle
man's dwelling had been destroyed.

Tbe Trial or John GradJ. .
This morning Hon D. K. McRae ad
dressed the jury at length and made an
impressive and telling speech. Mr
Solicitor Moore followed Col. McRae in a
speech of about two hours in length.
Col. Moore's speech is spoken of by those
who heard it as one of tbe finest ever
delivered in the Court House in a crimi
cal case. He . juitted himself with such
creo.it that the impression left upon
those who were fortunate enough to bear
him will be indellibly impressed npon
their minds. We regret that it was not
our pleasure to be present in the Court
Room to listen to the speeches of the
different counsel engaged in this
case as there was quite an ar
ray cf talent employed on each side.
We learn, however, that tbe sparks which
sometimes flew from tbe contact of the
ponderous intellects arrayed in conflict
with each other, were occasionally quite
vivid and brilliant. At the conclusion cf
His Honor's charge, which was delivered
at the close of the argument of counsel,
Col. MacRae requested that the obarge be
reduced to writing, which the Judge pro
ceeded to do and was engaged in doing at
8:30 o'clock, the hour we lefttha QquiI
room to make this report
P. 8u Since the abora was in type, we
learn that the jury have retired and re
turned to the Court and rendered a ver
dict of manslaughter.
