For the SChutsenrest
An excellent opportunity is oflored
these who desire to make a tr?p to
Charleston during the Schatsenfest in
that city week afterjnext. Several gen
men in this city will run an excursion
to Charleston, leaving here on Monday
morning, the 2Sth, inst. The
I ckets for the- round trip are
placed low enough, oa'y and
they will be good to return any day during
the week. Besides the Scutsenfest, there
will be other attractions in Charleston
daring the week, among thera the parade
of the Fire! Department ia that city,
which will be a sight well worth seeing. It
was originally intended for the excursion
party to leave here oa Sa;urdiy, but it wi 1

instead.

A colore 1 weman by the name of Susn
Wddell, who claims to have come to
this city from Brunswick county, gave
birth' to a child last night which she ieit
in a Vault, on the premises of a gentleman
is this city, where the woman had re
cently been employed. A colored man
was attracted by the cries of tbe child
and rescued it The woman was arrested
and is now in custody. She claims that
tbe child was horn on the spot and that
there was no attempt at iufanticide. It
is still alive, but at noon to-day w?s re
ported as very near death. Several buis
es erj scratches have been found on its
body. The woman will be held to await
the result.

The Lecture Last Ntffht.
The attendance at tbe Ouera House
last night was not as large, possibly, as
would have greeted the lecturer, Dr
Pritcbard, oa the . occasion of the first
announcement, but still it Was a fair and
appreciative andieuce, which listened with
marked atttention to the speaker through
out the ,wholli8Coar8e. The theme was
one which every resident of the State
should feel a deep insterest in, and all
who listened to the reverend gentleman,
last night manifested their deep concern
in the subject by the earnest attention
which was given to the speaker's remarks
The address, while eminently practical,
furnished abundant food for thought to
all Who fee! any interest in the future
welfare of North Carolina. Numerous
illustrations, both p Dinted and forcible,
were mudj by the speaker from his own
observations and experience. We heart
ily wish that every other citizan of the
State could be imbued with the same
amount of interest to discover vYhat is
the (JFue Thing Necessary to the Develop
ment of Nurth Carolina."
Increase In the Price and Consump-
tion of Beer.
Beer drinking is gettiog almost as pop
ular in America as in the 'Faderland.
All pf our aalooss now keep it either
bottled or on draught, whereas four or
6ve years ago all the beer in tbe city was
sold. by one or two houses. Besides this
there! are now in the city several beer de-
livery wagons which go around daily
With the popular beverage. Its consump
tiuu witlain the last two y ears has proba

bly been doubled. This increase ha
doubtless been proportionately great al!
ever tbe Umen and may account for tbe
fact that alter many secret meetings the
brewers ofj New York and vicinity have
concluded to advance the price of lager
beer from $8 to $9 per barrel on May 1.
The manufacturers have been secretly
1 . j- 'Ml .
agitatioe the matter for a nurnber of
mouths! but it has been
"uund d fheult
seen to take

the initial i
)f the leading
re tn tbe matter, and as the
brewers of
'hilaJelphia, Chicago, Circin
nati and Milwaukee were waiting to see
what the New York men would do, U
seemed at idue time as though the plan
would fal
tbros. A
petition wai
dravsn up,1 and a meeting of the gentle
men interested was called. Af:er much
discussion, 90 out of 95 brewers, who
empldy hundreds of wagons and thou
sndi of men, agreed to the proposed it
crease in' tbe rates.'

Conjunctions-
The present , week is marked by three
interesting conjunctions of plinets. The
conjunction of Mercury and Venus was
I visible yesterday morning lrom about 1
o'clock. This evening Venus and Jupi
ter will bi only half a degree apart, but
unfortunately tbiscoi j motion will not be
visible heTe. They will, however, rise
within a short distance from one another
to-morrow morning. On Sanday morn
ing Jupiter and Mercury, at their rising
aboit twenty-five minutes alter 4 o'clock,
will be so close that both will be visible
togetLcr; in a telescope. At their netf t
approach tn-y wiilbe l'.ity-eight minuUs
apart. If ihe niornioix is clear, thespecta
cie will be a very beautiful one, the huge
Jupiter torniiug the central figure sni-
rounded by his four attendant moons, ai d
Mercury shining close by, as if it, too, had
fallen under the sway of the giant planet.

road.
By private reliable information re
ceived here from ColurabU ai late as 3
o'clock this afternoon tbe sale of the
above named road had sot been quite
consummated up to that time. The rival
iaterests'represented in 6olumbia to-day
are the bondholders or commissioners of
the syndicate of bondholder?,' represented
by Messrs, 11. B. Plant, Freeman Clark
and W. H. Brawly.

same interest, it is thought, while still an
other iuterest is that cf Charleston,
which will make a big fight before it will
allow this great feeder to tbe port of
Charleston te pass Jnto foreign hands.
The liabilities of the road for the mort
gage bonds amount to one and ' three-
hquarer millions. The bidding, at last
accounts, had already reached t vo and a
half million ot dollars, which is far mere
than tbe intrinsic value of the road.
A &ad Affair.
A correspondent, in Pender county,
who sigBs himself a well-wiher to all
concerned, eends us the particulars of an
unfortunate affair which occurred in'tbat
county a few days siLce. The facts cca
Dec tod with the cape, aa stated by cur
correspondent, are as follows:
Mr. Joseph Marble, while in a some
what intoxicated condition, called at the
bouse of Mr. Porter V. Malpass and, the
tatter being abseot, made some improper
advances towards Mrs. Malpass. These
she promptly rrsented'and fled from the
place to the house of an old colored
woman who lived uar by. Marble then
left. Upon tbe return of Mr. Mslpa,
his wife, having a!a returo'd, related to
him the facts, when he took his gno and
started in pursuit of Marble.XHe sooa
cirae up with the latter and struck him
a blow with the butt of his gon which in
the opinion of tbe phvsicisDS will pre
bably 'result fa! ally. Mr. Malpass is a
young man. of . respectability and has
been but a few mouths married. &r
Marble is also represented as an , entirely
inoffensive man whea out under tht im
duence of liquor. If we ire not mistaken
in the party "Mr. Mrb!e was born and
raised in Wilmingteo.
It bas been rnmored fcere that Mr.
Marble-died pnJuesday morning but as
our icorreapcndent wrote on that day-and
does net speak of bit death, it it probable
teat tbe report bare was incorrect, or at
least premature.
